What are you doing to keep busy?

a reply to: Macenroe82

I'm at work every day, literally. Home now, doing work from home.

Wife and son doing home school and son playing videos, we're watching movies in the evenings.

Amazon Prime video helps.

I've been on "house arrest" for a year...building the house, so it's like every day here.
But today we are making homemade bacon and smoking a giant boston butt rubbed in truffle oil, brown sugar,sea salt and sprinkled with coffee and finishing the kitchen floor install.
When that gets boring, I like to hit the trails.

Lots of food, video games and I have just been eating like an animal.
I am enjoying this quarantine, I get to give the body a rest and put on some weight since I am not expelling calories.
Sometimes dinner/drinks and a game with the neighbor.

Not a care in the world...except getting covid-19 and dying!!!

Stay safe.

Was that one item toilet roll by any chance?

just curious.

No, there was toilet paper, paper towels, Kleenex, etc.
The only thing I couldn't find was a bottle of hand sanitizer for the hub's service truck.

Edit to add: This was at lunch time, so no setting alarm and waiting in line for the door to open either!

I can't attend jiu-jitsu classes anymore so I went and bought this:

Gracie Combatives Standard DVD Package

I gave my spare gi to my wife and she agreed to be my training partner.

We'll be doing this.

My sister pointed out that hand sanitizer, rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide were wiped out at her store, but nobody thought about all the bottles of astringent and witch hazel stocked right next to them.

I am still at work.
The phone is not ringing much.
I am deciding who will be in the next round of layoffs, and that sucks.

Tried to schedule a repair for one our service trucks... found out that the GM dealer that we use for service is closed indefinitely.

Hard not to be depressed right now.

I don't know about other folks but I keep alcohol and peroxide on hand at all times. Growing up we didn't have all of these fancy products like they do now- we treated everything with alcohol, peroxide, Mecuricome or warm salt water... and aspirin was a "go to" for anything and everything. I've never even used hand sanitizer myself just soap and water.

I think there will be many people gaining weight?

Watching TV films etc. and popping the snacks without even thinking?

Getting bored and having a snack sandwich or something?

Trying out receipes, for once having the time to do so?

Be aware your clothes didn't shrink in the wash ......You just ate too much




Oh! and edit to add "A baby boom"!!!!!!!

So when the internet goes down, things will REALLY get bad.

I'm working in the garden too. Going to be an important season.

Learning to hip hop.

Still working but the furloughs are starting. I have been building work benches in the garage. The work bench I am working on first will have ten drawers . It will be for the drill press and stationary sander. This means I will be able to get rid of a tool box also. The other work bench will be larger than the first. It will be on casters but I am not sure how many drawers yet. I am building this one for a new tool I recently got. I cant get this done quick enough.

I'm spending my time swapping out the motor in my '71 Manx beach buggy. Pulled out the standard 1300 and put in a 2L turbo monster....so when the SHTF I'll take off out bush and mad max it for a while...you know, kill people for fuel...eat dog food...that sort of thing....

I've been breakdance challenging my neighbors.

Working here. We're so short staffed because of people calling in that those of us still around are burnt out and seriously stressed. I was looking forward to spring so we could at least get outside and clean up the yard, but damned if it hasn't started snowing again and we're looking at temps dropping below -20 C again this week. I'm so tired of winter and the isolation isn't helping at all.

Don't you need to make like a worm and dig a veg patch . Or will the pizza factory provide as ever ?

I like it because you play a roll not often seen in games - a caveman... With the ability to tame the beasts lol.
It has a rather simple crafting system but it's good enough.
It's a fun time killer at least
