I don't know about you guys but I've been cooped up in the house too long, just messing with the truck to keep myself busy until work starts again.

the grey-t escape
sadly enough my life hasn’t changed much. Im still working and doing my various projects in the garage on weekends. Most thats changed is no date night on fridays now. Last friday I did go out for a carry-out order, 1 hr round trip for the filet mignon special at a tavern on the other side of the county. May have to mow this weekend as grass is starting to grow.

I still go to the grocery store, pharmacy, and liquor store once a week. I go over and check on my parents almost every day, and I am home schooling my neices a couple days a week so Im not really "quarantined". I work from home and stopped letting customers come here to drop stuff off but other than that not a whole lot has changed in my daily life since I dont interact with the public much anyway. :dunno:

I don't count birthday's anymore...just happy to be looking down at the ground instead of looking up
Pretty much staying at home. Go out to dinner via drive thru or pick up pizza.
Still mow yard and house hold stuff. Got the motor home spick and span, but can't use it for anything this year.
Wife won't leave me alone, whoopie 5-6 times every day.
Do miss getting togather with family, grand kids, and friends.

It sounds petty in the grand scheme of things, but the only thing annoying me that much is the lack of shipping going on so even if I wanted to work on some of my projects to stay busy I can't actually get the parts to do it. Even just fixing stuff around the house is on hold because Im not risking going to home depot so I can buy dumb crap like new cabinet hardware...

Give 'yer balls a tug. Fight me.
Locked in at my shop. Haven't had a day off since December 16, so this isn't helping. Noticeably agitated and pissed off all the time now.

Can't get parts, can't get tools, starting to live off MREs.

Can't take aleve now, so the fragmented disk in my neck hurts 24/7.

**** China.

Other then having to use the drive thru bank line and having to pay my insurance by phone instead of cash in person nothings really changed for me.

both my wife and I are working from home. we have Shipt do our shopping for the most part and they bring it to our house and set it on the porch. Occasionally do a Costco run for bulk items, they had TP today :p the only thing that really gets us out of the house is MWF we take our son to ABA therapy, which is considered "essential" by the state of IN. and we agree...

I actually had to go into the office today to fix a Microsoft Access/ Oracle issue that I could not do online... all I got to say is eff microsoft...

miss all my friends at our favorite restaurants.
the pickup counter at Little Caesars just isn't the same as a good server bending over to take my order.
eating at home ain't all that bad, even with my cooking.
I stocked up on instant oatmeal and popcorn, excess carbs anyone?
there is a small meat shop near me. he isn't on the internet and is still fully stocked so I get fresh meat 2-3 times a week.
real quiet here, I'm used to lots of noise & traffic from the school across the street.
wiffie is still working, my retirement checks keep coming, life is good enough.

Frustrated,

the gov here has put a lock-down on all places of gathering, all non essential businesses are closed, store rationing of paper goods is in place.
Don't blame them for what they have had to to in an effort to try & keep us *somewhat* safe.
Seeing as I live in an apartment 2 of our 4 vehicles are in a storage unit, and I can't get at them because storage units are deemed non essential.
What we're NOT seeing on the media is where along the line a developed vaccine for this damned virus has progressed,

Angrier than HELL at what China has inflicted on the rest of the world.

Any thoughts on what the world should do to them to make them pay for this?

we can start by taking away their knives so they stop cutting into all sorts of fucking animals.

maybe start packing their lunches like little kids at school till they learn to act right.
