I cant imagine being stuck in a city like New York.


Hell....even Billings(!).

Worked some on the old truck.

Just generally catching up on things.


I'm still working (from home), but the extra 1.5 hours a day I'm saving on commuting has helped me get a big jump on my firewood for next winter. I'm even finding the time to do a little reloading and shooting in between.


The chances they come, and the chances they go.
But the time. You don't get that back.

That sounds like me. We have a 3 mile loop where we only see a couple of people, at most. I also have a well-stocked library...plenty of military history.

Lots of that around here too. Honey-do’s.

Spending time at the camp also as it’s only 14 miles away and on the backroads.



Whats your camp like?


Comfortable travel trailer in the woods with most all amenities. Got a good cover over it with a nice parking area under it for the bad boy cart and the 4-while. We were fortunate to be close enough to a power line and get electricity. We put in a sewer system for camps to tie into. Got a good water well with excellent quality water. Have a main clubhouse of sorts. Got a 3 sided shed with a big cast iron stove/heater and a big screen tv, couches, chairs, etc. Got satellite tv, Direct TV for ball games. Got several large stocked ponds that we mostly catch and release. We plant for wildlife year-round.

Deer out the front door and turkeys out the back. Got a few black bear roaming around. Feral hogs move through the area from time to time but we’re pretty hard on them year-round.

That’s about it.

We really enjoy it, Jim. Hardly anyone around on weekdays and I can turn the grandsons loose and not worry about them as they eventually find their way back and hungrier than bitch wolves.

We’re gonna make another run there shortly. Very nice and cool here today, beautiful weather. Gonna burn some powder as we do have a shooting area safed off.

Life is good.

I'm hoping Corpus leaves Parks open, spring migration is building up.

Were they treated with the AB, plaquenil and zinc sulfate and ventilators?

Had they been social distancing, gloves, masks, hand washing?

Older, compromised health?

My aunt passed away from it. She was in very poor health anyway. I think the saddest part is that her family couldn’t be there with her at the end.

I would very much like to see that country some day.


I dont know why......its the polar opposite of where I live......but I have been drawn to that area for a long time.



When I go broke up here I am moving south.

Whoa! Sorry to here that, GD! Has to be awful for the families that can’t even gather together to mourn at this time.

Lots of folks dying alone is happening right now, Corona related or not. I know of 4 in the past 3 weeks that couldn’t be with their loved ones upon passing.

As you say, that is sad.

I guess you live around Albany? My wife said something about that to me this morning and no one is sure how or why it's so bad there. Do you know if there's anything to the story about the funeral causing the out break? Stay safe neighbor.

I'm wondering how hard it is going to hit those demographics that have a tendency to disregard the law/rules.

I'm expecting places like Baltimore to explode at some point.


I had to lol at the TV images of Yutes playing hoops...... Can't believe Honkey, ya know?

Sorry to hear about your co-worker.

+1, When the President of the United States stands up there and says the next 3 weeks are going to be hell, time to take it serious.
