Indabuff Posted March 31, 2020 Report Posted March 31, 2020 Bought the kids a relatively cheap drone. I would have shanked someone with a Fun Dip stick back in the day for one of these things. Quote
FogBat Posted March 31, 2020 Author Report Posted March 31, 2020 Just now, Ogelthorpe said: Prison! I'm a CO, lol That scares me. Not because of what inmates are capable of doing, but all of those people so close together. Quote

Luckily the inmate population at my facility is Covid19 free.. where Weinstein is not so much. Thankfully they stopped movement between facilities except for emergencies. Quote

Wyldnwoody44 Posted April 1, 2020 Report Posted April 1, 2020 Just rode 30 miles, the first half was nice, but the way home there were terrible crosswinds. 2000ft of elevation change. Also, I had a brain fart, at a red light I didn't unlock my feet from my pedals quick enough and slammed down hard on my left side, of course in front of all the traffic from the people that should be home. Very embarrassing indeed ? 1 Quote
Zamboni Posted April 1, 2020 Report Posted April 1, 2020 Walked around Letchworth for a couple hours today with the wife. A little brisk but sunny. Enjoyed it immensely. 1 2 Quote

They really need to keep the parks open if they can. We went to Chestnut Ridge and I didn't see anyone congregating. Everyone was practicing safe distancing. Sure looked like people were recharging their internal batteries there. Good for them. 2 Quote

Enjoyed it immensely. I went there last week or the week before it was nice as it always is, a lot of the trails were closed for hiking and my favorite little diner in Mt Morris wasn't available (Brian's USA diner). But still a nice little cruise and walk-around. Quote
Eleven Posted April 2, 2020 Report Posted April 2, 2020 Does steaming mad and reading SabreSpace count? Because something happened a couple of hours ago that has me steaming mad. Quote

DarthEbriate Posted April 2, 2020 Report Posted April 2, 2020 Jumped onto a hologram conference call with friends last night and watched Caravan of Courage. Adult beverages and "breakfast for dinner" theme. Sort of what we'd do if we were able to gather in person. It worked. It was a not-very-good movie and a very fun time. Quote
darksabre Posted April 2, 2020 Report Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Definitely starting to feel a little depressed as this thing goes on. The uncertainty has me putting off doing/investing in a lot of the things I was hoping to do this spring/summer. I want to buy better speakers for my stereo system, I want to get a better mouthpiece for my saxophone, I wanted to buy darkroom supplies so I could develop some of the film I've been shooting (along with shooting more film). But these are all "unnecessary" expenses that I can't bring myself to make given the situation. But I can only read so much, and watch TV so much, and workout so much. There are other things I want to be doing but I feel like I can't pursue them and it's a real kick in the head. Edited April 2, 2020 by darksabre 1 Quote
nfreeman Posted April 2, 2020 Report Posted April 2, 2020 Over the weekend I assembled a shelving unit and organized 2 large closets that were starting to look like landfills. It took a few hours but was well worth it -- the before/after contrast is really striking. One of those small things that you get a disproportionate amount of happiness from. Quote
bunomatic Posted April 2, 2020 Report Posted April 2, 2020 Washed down the entire kitchen including cabinets, doors, tops ( if you’ve never had a look up there yikes ) . A mixture of cooking grease and dust. A simple dish soap water mix and everything looks lily white and new. Washed walls , stove, fridge, etc. My wife is ecstatic so thats good. Cleaned the garage which has become a catchall over the winter. shite , what next ? Quote

"Hi shrader's wife" is written in the dust up there in the hopes that she someday sees it. 2 Quote
Stoner Posted April 2, 2020 Report Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Trying to make a loaf of homemade bread. I also put on a suit (top only, so naked from the waist down) and interviewed my cat while wearing a Ted Koppel wig from Halloween 1982. I think I'm doing OK.

FogBat Posted April 3, 2020 Author Report Posted April 3, 2020 I'm picking up where I left off a few months ago with Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank. I don't know what possessed me to start reading it again. But it's an interesting parallel between nuclear war and the current pandemic - except that our cities are still standing. Quote
French Collection Posted April 4, 2020 Report Posted April 4, 2020 Following the OHL Priority draft online. It is hockey. I am an OHL season ticket holder. My son has played with some of the kids getting picked. 3 Quote
FogBat Posted April 4, 2020 Author Report Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) Over the past two days, I finished reading two books. Yesterday, it was We Cannot Be Silent by R. Albert Mohler, Jr. Today, it was A Defense of Liberty Against Tyrants by Junius Brutus. Now comes the hard part: modernizing the latter. It's going to take some time, but I believe it will be well worth it. I may read Machiavelli's The Prince just to see how much the other book was an outright antithesis.
