Anyone else about ready to say f work? Just wondering. it's still legal but people r going to get crazier every day. When's it time to say no more.....I expect a shutdown b4 long but when do u call it quits?
Tough call for sure. I wish there was an easy solution that fits all.....
We are finally at a point where as yesterday, we are fully isolated. Wife is a teacher with school shutdown and I'm work from home until further notice since the weekend. Need to make a decision on letting in a realtor (a friend) tomorrow to list our current home under the circumstances of no showings for atleast 2 weeks, making a final run for coffee grounds and alcohol at the local carryout less than 2 miles away, and if we proceed to meet with 5ppl next Monday for our last meeting with our new home builder (if not on lockdown by then). All exposures listed above are being discussed and ultimately we have the final choice to accept the risk or not for the next 2wks+. To me none are worth the risk, to the wife, ya right..
The thing that sucks is all efforts now can be erased at any little slip up, including 6 months/1yr. from now...
One positive is the way of life most of us choose here really limits our exposures compared to those living in cities. I know it's a false positive to think we are truly better off statistically as it only takes 1 gas pump handle, but damn, seeing how this is really popping up in cities and the panic there, God bless the outskirts of heaven.
At this point, I welcome the thought of a 2-week or longer lockdown. My household is prepared for it and I've made sure people in my immediate circle are also prepared for it. This work from home stuff is already making me irritated... so I'd be glad to simply drop the work and sit here in peace, enjoying the company of my family.
Left Saturday the 7th for Ohio due too a long time friend passing unexpectedly. Stayed until the Thursday the 12th and headed home. Couple of buddies showed up Friday the 13th and we continued on with excavation around the property. We wrapped most of it up by yesterday with only some clean up and move some dirt around too make it look presentable. My buddy Kevin’s been down here for 3 weeks, bouncing back and forth between Florida, Boone and my place. We’ve been working almost every day from 9-5 and then cracking a beer and eating dinner then relaxing, drinking and BS'ng.
This has been my self quarantine and will continue too be it for the foreseeable future. We had rain move in yesterday afternoon and we had all the heavy stuff done at that point. So we ventured into town for some supplies and such.
My wife has kept up the whole stocking our shelves for this whole process since we’ve been tied up with the property. She’s knocked it outta the park and I couldn’t have asked for better results. Our little escapade too a few stores didn’t shock us as we’ve heard some stories and what I’ve read here as well. Bottom line, there’s food, water can goods, dry goods in good supply. Paper products, not so much. Now if you’re of the attitude that it’s not my brand? Well then that’s on you. But there’s food and water and the everyday necessities, hell, PB&J and bacon were in good supply what more could you ask for. Now I am in a semi rural county in close proximity too semi major metropolitan areas. So I don’t have the issues that we’ve heard of in those areas. But every one we crossed paths with yesterday were extremely pleasant and polite. Even saw a couple people open carrying walking around. Gave a head nod and a howdy and moved along.
So we’re good for the duration, I’ll hang out at the compound and move dirt and burn brush for a few weeks and see what comes our way. Hopefully it’ll not affect us, our kids and family and friends. But just playing the odds it will at some point and we’ll deal with what comes our way. Just like every other thing that’s happened in our lives in the last 50-60 years... Yeah I’m old, but not as old as CJD3 or Geezer
Stay safe my friends....

I wear my work 24/7, so work from home actually means that for me. But, I like working from home and have a good space for it where I'm just as productive as at the office. Now, if I could get a 2 week "reprieve" I'd take that in a heartbeat too! I got all kinds of work to do around here, so no "paycheck work" for 2 weeks would be nice.

My house looks pretty damn close...only our school isn’t delivering, so my wife is handing the food out after she makes it. Oh wait, and I’m at work in C-bus! Waiting on a trench box that hasn’t even been ordered yet

Guns and ammo flying off the shelves. I stopped up at Fin Feather Fur and it was absolutely packed yesterday. Gun counter was impenetrable and every ammo aisle full of scanning eyes.
They had plenty of that, Geezer.... If you run out you can order it on the Amazon....

Was on MidwayUSA and checked out their ammo selections... Most was out of stock..
I stopped up there after getting numerous reports about ammo supply being destroyed. I didn't necessary need any more, but the way they were selling out I figured I should join in on the chaos before we run into a shortage. Which is really hypocritical of me, since I have been bashing people that are buying all the TP off the shelves.
