Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire So, what did you get done today as a "shutin"?

My whole team got moved to "work from home" At least I get to hang out with the dog.

Shock treated the well. Picked a bunch of rocks with the kids off the lawn that I pushed on there with the plow this winter. Most the snow is finally melted.

Worked 8-6 at our ag essential shop. Our county starts its 10pm-6am curfew tonight. Headed back to work tomorrow.

The fish got fed. Pipe got hauled. Grader got built. Fish got fed again. Another day in God’s country.

Machined a bracket, to fit an alternator in place of the generator on my flat head! I wanted to keep the original type adjustment. Tomorrow I'll turn a sheave, and fit both water pumps ! Same kind of things i do when not on house arrest!

True cod............your on the west coast. Did you buy them or catch them yourself?

Just quit and came into the house. Unloaded a 20 ft. trailer and pickup bed full of parts and equipment for the mini-fleet of old Chev trucks - prepping for the caravan that will get the rest of them down the mountain to the new garage here..Moving that big upright compressor/tank taxed my declining abilities. Tools - lots of tools - emptied the packing boxes and started figuring out where they will be kept for various tasks. Figured out why my wife's 5 wheel John Deere whatever will not run - removed the vac operated fuel pump and will try to fix that setup tomorrow when more patience is available. Practiced some music to curve away from the earlier stuff, and then made some Hornet loads. Nice way to end the day. Grateful that I can.

I turned some water into cold cubes.

I got some corks out of wine bottles.

Heard Rush 30 min on the radio.

Watched Hannity on TV.

Pounded my pud...

Got caught up on Gunsmoke, Andy & Barney, Rifleman, & Pawn Stars.
Then took a nap to rest my thumb.

I would like to be out doing something productive, they have closed state parks so I can't even fish. Like millions across the nation for the next couple of weeks this is my song.

Rebuilt portions of my front yard fence. Sat on the the front porch and drank beer.

Life is good.

Worked the last thirteen days all but two in the office. Taking the weekend off. Working around people is over rated and now dangerous.

"Shut in" began last night. Leaving for work in 15 minutes. My part time, post retirement job is considered "essential" and with half the staff out for various reasons I am ending my third week of 40+ hours. Today, I'll be well over 50 hours for the week with last Sunday being my day off. The next three weeks look no different - 6 day week, 8+ hours a day unless I become sick.

Retired from the Fire/EMS field into retail and am working harder than ever. Good point is store management listens to me and our sick calls are significantly lower than our sister stores. Some physical and a lot of psychological preventative measures have kept us in the game. Proudly the only store in the region showing a profit.

Gonna work in garden today

This;



And I put in 5 more tomatoes and 3 more bell peppers in the garden. Neighbor had some leftovers. Also weeded a little. Cherry tomatoes in pot on the back porch got little buckshot on em!

weather has been sucky lately........

yesterday cold.....windy......snow squalls......

today....more mountain snow..more NW wind...

'bout 26* outside now.......

Went fishing for a few hours. Brought home some nice small bass to start stocking my pond. Sized some 358/140s I cast the day before. Stuffed some of them into 38 special brass. Will do more of that today.

Put out COB for my Deer, put out bird seed for my Mountain Quail and other birds, then sat on my front porch,

And listened to the 1/2 hour of Rush,

While watching all the critters. Very relaxing day!

This being forted up ain't that bad!
