1) Go back to work, actually "in the office" 2 or 3 days a week as usual 2) Eat out with the wife 3) Shoot at my local indoor range 4) Lazy summer evenings watching the Rockies at Coors field
We have a whole list of people we have been corresponding with but staying social distance from -- 90 year old mother, son and his wife, friends, guys I go shooting with ---- get togethers with full family, back to the gun and shooting ranges with the guys, try and support local venues get going again. Hit the road for some touring of nature. Do an inventory on what worked and what we would like to prepare differently in case something like this comes up again.
Same thing I’ve been doing since before and during. Work, on my place and others’. Might take the wife to dinner someplace nice just because I can. Grow more of our food and stack up more cash and other wealth for the next bump in the road.
This was no accident, the next one won’t be either, and it may well be worse. This is a warning. If you cannot isolate yourself for at least six months, it is time to get there, while you can. This is a pretty minor blip compared to what could happen with a real disease pandemic. The fake one is bad enough, and folks freaked out. Let a real problem hit, and staying home for six months or more might be the only way to react.
I sold some light calves in Ramsey today.400# [email protected]. One heifer at 1.50 another @ 1.30. Bigger calves sold pretty good, and cows were at about .65-.67. Hope everything heads higher.
The only thing that I haven’t been able to do is go to church and go restaurants. For the most part, I’ve ignored the ridiculous restrictions and did what I always do. There have been some advantages. Traffic is light, so I get places faster and I get better gas mileage.
I wonder about people who wear a mask while driving down the road. I don’t wear a mask and ignore people who want to crawl down a hole, where it’s safe. I just go about my business the same as before.
PS. I have been going to the range 2-3 times a week and it’s been great. Often I have the range to myself.
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.
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.
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.
What do you think you will do, you not been abile to do?
Myself, we don't go out to eat, save fast food when we are in town.
I'll get to our local gun shop, that is closed.
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.
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.
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.
Not a whole lot different for me. Have been working the entire time. Maybe go get a nice rare porterhouse at the steak place. Would be nice to watch a baseball game again instead of movies.
Only thing we haven't done in this 'pandemic' that is usally done is go out to eat and go on 'weekend' getaways. Still going to work. Farm stores are still open for whatever projects I have at the house. Turkeys still gobbling. Crappie still biting. Grass still growing.
Not to anyone in particular, but there is no way in he'll I would quit hugging my grandkids because some politician told me not to. What the he'll is wrong with people?

This. I am not a huge hugger. But after my hospital stay in March, I hug my kids and grand kids every chance I get. Also shake hands with all of my friends. If I die, I die.
See a movie in a theatre.Go out to the local truck stop for a Farmers Breakfast.3 eggs,polish sausage,hash brown potatoes with onions and hot peppers,side of bacon, home made sour dough bread toast slathered with butter and honey.
Have a wild game feast with all my deer camp bro’s and smoke cigars together.
See those same brothers in church and worship God in person with His people.
Take my wife out for a long weekend just the two of us away from the kids for the safety and our sanity and then spend the entire time talking about how we love and miss the kids...

Not even for the kids' sake?
Look at it this way. What would it do to the kids, who have been out in the world, and they came over and gave the Grandparents some love, then the grands were on a ventilator a week later?
That is why our G-kids open the door and holler to us. Because they want to keep us around for a while.
Sure as hell has nothing to do with any politician.

And here I was thinking that PM telling me to GFY was serious!

My kids learned early on that no one lives forever. I used the bambi movie to teach them how to pick an aiming point on game animals. They didn't cry when Mustafa got trampled. And they're the ones who are teaching my grandkids. Maybe I could arrange for them to swing by your place to teach you about life cycles.

I feel pretty sorry for your kids and grands if that training included teaching them the desirability of euthanizing their elders as soon as they become a burden. Which is what you advocate.

If that's what you got out of what I wrote, it's no wonder you've been scared to death by this crap.

Not scared of anything.
On the other hand I do not make a habit of shoving a loaded Glock into my mouth and pulling the trigger as a test for if God wants me to live another day.
There's a big difference between utterly stupid and brave.
As brave as you claim to be, one can only assume you are spending all your free time as a volunteer scrubbing the bedpans in the nearest old folks home with an infection of C-19.

This is where I am at. We were not out a lot and only ate out a couple times a month and don't really do movies. We are supposed to SIP until May 15th. If the order is lifted then I will wait another 2 weeks until my birthday (29th) and then maybe go out for some live music and a couple beers.

Of course you're not scared, hollering through the door at your grandkids. As far as utterly stupid, you've got that down pat. Comparing hugging your grandkids to swallowing a Glock. Pure genius, there.

Face it Idaho_Shooter, you have fallen for the "covid" propaganda hook , line & sinker...... why continue to make a fool of yourself?
