So far, so good, the newish MRS and I are squirrels away in our new digs with food, water and the requisite arms.

Reheating pizza – sheesh. Totally destroys the delicate flavor.

Definitely. Just a little worried for some of our more at risk people, but finding creative ways to encourage and help folks in spite of the strict quarantine in effect here.

Sequestered at home, mostly, still going to private range, casting bullets and loading ammo. Plenty to do. We also have what we need for a while.

Of doing school work from home. His school has done this before instead of doing snow days. Did take him on a hike (Dad is getting out of shape...) at the local state park. Bunch of people but none on the trails.

"Laying on my a-- and keeping the door locked."

Tried volunteering to run food to the elderly, and several other things but neither local govt nor church were ready for this, and simply no way to connect, save standing outside a store and asking if anyone needs help before they enter.

Given the sleeper aspect of the virus, anyone, including self, may already be infected, and unsure of wisdom in aggessively trying to help others. Checking temp daily, but even that no guarantee of not being a Typhoid Mary. I DO wish a study would come out saying "If no fever, no contagion" or something. These unknowns have a lot of folk frozen.

..."outside contact" tomorrow when my d-i-l stops by to drop off a bunch of ground beef that I will be dispersing (very carefully) to the church folks on Sunday afternoon. Other than that, supplies are holding out and cabin fever is being held at bay by means of continual snacking....

eating too many cookies
too much coffee

that was sunrise at breakfast this am

loading 2 7/8” 10 ga shells for hunting this fall- if the world as we know it still exists then

It’s odd around here...

I’m still working like normal, which is good having no paid time off in my trade. The wife works for United Way, so she’s super busy trying to keep info updated and help those who need it now and will need it later on due to current situation. Boys are off school for at least a month, more likely the rest of the year. They are technically on spring break through the next week. After that, they’ll be on ‘distance learning’. The oldest, 12, has a bring home computer so that’s much easier. The younger son is getting g a packet of paper each week, no real understanding of how we turn it in or how much it really matters if it gets done or not. It’s a new deal for everyone but we’re all working with it the best we can.

The joys of being “essential”

Well at least somewhat normal.......work for a trucking company and no lock down here in the St Louis area so not much has changed for me other than trying to buy normal weekly food/supplies.

Stopped at local supermarket on the way home last night, not busy and shelves 96-98% stocked, have plenty of TP so I didn't check that aisle.

Now if only the rain would stop I could go shootin'

41 Mags rule, Baers rock!

This crisis actually is working out well for my family.
I was told to start working from home (I'm an engineer), so I packed up and headed to my Mom's place. She is in her 80's and waiting to die from cancer, she decided not to go through the treatments when it was found 4 years ago. I had been going there every weekend, my sister had been staying with her one day during the week. Now I'm just working from her house during the day and taking care of the cooking, housework etc as she isn't getting around very well with her walker.

Before Chinese Flu; Make Groceries twice a month, avoid crowded spaces, wash hands often. After Chinese Flu; Make Groceries once a month, avoid crowded spaces, wash hands often. Big spike in cases here from Mardi Gras tourists. Health club closed, riding bicycle around neighborhood on days I am not behind the push mower.

Doing just fine thus far.

The wife and I are both retired. A blessing in a way, we had a head start on this being at home thing. The hard part, is being home when I want to vs being pretty much told to stay at home. I never was good at being told what to do by other's. Odd how that works.

Staying busy. My mother always said you could lock me in a closet, or put me in the middle of the desert and I'd find something to do. We have all the basic necessities we need and no need to leave home for the time being.

My biggest concern, has been my 26 year old granddaughter stuck in New York City. She's an attorney working from home at this time.

Stay safe my friends.

but we are refocusing to more online sales than person-to-person. To God be the glory that He is taking care of our needs and we are not one paycheck away from destitute, but we are definitely pinched by it.

Praying for those who are impacted by this - both health and finances - and for our leaders, that they would turn to God in prayer and repentance, leading as servants.

Hanging in there, should have enough supplies for the time being and have more than enough projects to keep me busy for at least a century. So far have noticed no change in my regular routine, don't leave home for weeks at a time this time of year normally anyway.

Wife is working every other day. Many Honey Do projects getting tackled.

All healthy.

Had a new Grand Daughter born March 9th! They named her Nova. So the other grand kids are referring to her as Super Nova :).

Blessings to all, especially those working though with the public.
