Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire When "This" is Over?

To head to a local cafe for a plate of meat loaf in my gas consuming, stinking exhaust 427 Mach 1. Actually I had a nice road run today that had my youngest son reaching for a handle that didn't exist.

Go inside Walmart to purchase groceries instead of using curb side pickup like some invalid.

I have yet to find a business closed which I wanted to go into.

Other than that, not many changes around our home stead. The grandkids can start coming inside for hugs, instead of hollering at us from the doorway. And we will get a chance to go out on the daughter's and SIL jet boat they recently purchased.

Ed,

You should read Nevil Shute's, On the Beach.

Church/Sunday School. Our daughter turns 16 soon, so we will treat her to wherever she wants to go. Likely end up at Sweet Frog.

It’s such a ‘happy’ story.

Meet my buddies every other Thursday at a local Brewery to solve all the worlds problems. We have a backlog of problems we haven't been able to get to since this started.

Oh, are the bars closed? I had not noticed.

GFY, LOL

The wife and I were supposed to leave Saturday with 30 of our Georgia Cattlemen's members for Hawaii and tour some of the ranches on the different islands. Hopefully we'll be able to make our way to Lake Woods in northern Wisconsin for a 4th of July family get together. This China flu BS has really put a damper on my retirement plans. Can't complain much though, we still don't know anyone who has died from the China virus.

I think I will go to town and have a New York steak. I like them medium. My wife goes for well done. Sirloin would be good enough for her since she torches it.

We will go back to church. The streaming function is hard to listen to, at least for me.

Very little different that is in my favor. Wife will drag me out to visit her Lib friends, and various "entertainments" that I don't really care about. Again.

We "owe" Bender and Mrs. a come-over. Their dogs need to be mauled by our dogs anyway.

We will continue to social distance for a while... and let the guinea pigs test it. If there is no resurgence I plan to take my wife out to Friday date night/dinner like we have been doing every Friday for 23 years.

1) Go see my mom. Mom is 91. She'd trapped inside a quarantined Assisted Living facility less than 2 miles away. I was visiting her every day until this.

2) Go to the farm. I'm 90 minutes away, but there's a bridge and a state line in the way. The best I can do is watch the security cameras and the data from the weather station and dream.

3) Go out to eat. This is the longest I've ever gone without sitting down in a restaurant since I was a year old.

4) Shoot something.

Going to the local restaurants/bars to support our locals... I can't wait.. Even I get sick of my own cooking..

Go to beach.

I don’t miss eating in mediocre restaurants and have taken a liking to carry out. Dinner as “an event”, worthy of appropriate attire will be nice.

Except for the stores and restaurants, this isn't all that different from regular retired life.

I'd love to get to NW Ontario, seeing good friends is better than the fishing.

Gonna hit the local gun shop and thank them for the check they sent me after they sold a mint Mod. 96 Swedish Mauser that had been there on consignment for over a year. I got the check about two days before they had to shut down. I had given it a year and decided to take it back and keep it a bit longer. Then I got a bigger check than I was expecting, even after they got their 20%. Be interesting to hear how it got sold for even more than what I was expecting.
