Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What have you learned during the shutdown?

I have learned, that evidently...I'm essential.

As a local truck driver, I've learned during this shutdown, that with reduced traffic: the cops aren't pulling people over (with very rare exception), the traffic is averaging about 20-30 mph over the speed limit, and there just aren't any accidents. I mean, I'm sure there are, but in two months with thousands of miles, I haven't seen any.

And when I say 20-30 mph over, I've been passed on I-271 in Cleveland by numerous cars going well over 100 mph! I was doing 66 and they were a blur going by me.

It has utterly unmasked — again — the left and their spite and hunger for power and control from governors to mayors, to the speaker of the house, to a Tx and DC judge as examples of their kind.

Its legal to walk into a bank while open carrying and wearing a mask and not get a second look.

I learned that Batschit crazy is not a temporary condition. And, if not in full bloom, is simply laying dormant.

That our goverment is even dumber than I thought

I like my own company, and I don't like being around others.

Most people aren't worth the risk of defending.

Being home all day with Ms. Okie is a freaking blast. So is working from home.
Haircuts are more important than I thought.
Wearing socks is less important than I thought.
TP is in short supply. Adult diapers are not.
Tipping restaurant workers well is very important.
I can make really good pizza on a grill.
If you have a Remington 1100, you should have a 21" smoothbore barrel with rifle sights for it.
Federal low-recoil buck patterns well in a Remington 1100 with a 21" smoothbore barrel and rifle sights but won't cycle it. S&B buckshot cycles well but patterns are huge.
COVID-19 doesn’t just kill old people. It also kills stupid people. And way more people are stupid than you'd think.

I love pecan pie. Always have, always will.

Learned just being in the vicinity of Covid 19 apparently gives whole communities diarrhea.

The restaurant business isn't as great as I once thought and renters will take advantage of you whenever possible. Get all you can get while the getting is good.

after seeing how people panic over TP, I never want to see what happens if the water gets turned off for a week.
