so waht ya doin today?

[Mitty38]

Went down to the sportsman club and paid My yearly Family Membership fee. We only have 200 members and we are private so as long as we limit our monthly meetings to 50 and do not hold any publicly announced events we will be ok to stay open to members only. The Ohio Golf course acceptation applies to us too.
So I will at least have somewhere to go do some things.

Went to local gun shop and bought some primers so I now have a primer for every shot up piece of brass I own, and 100 extra for each caliber. They had 3 guns left, but still had a good amount of ammo at regular price. They have been only putting 5 boxes of each on the shelf at a time.

I been avoiding most types of people unless well paid to deal with them my whole life. Nothing really changed for me except people are acting even more weird now.

Being in the cleaning, restoration, & remediation field we are staying steady but it's different & not quite as swapped as a few weeks ago.

 

[popper]

Hmm, survived 6 of these flu/pnumonia pandemic things, who knows. But I didn't know anyone who passed due to it. With the Wuhan, Rus oil, election yr, QE4 by the Fed and all the naysayers predicting an end to Mr. Bull, plus the normal first quarter jitters, market is down. Just as in 29, closed business is the real problem and Gov is trying to avert recession by printing money. Got to be paid sometime. Gov. is using pandemic to slide all the crap legislation/rules into place with fear.

The range's pre-recorded message said it'll re-open April 10.

The V. A. cancelled tomorrow's hearing exam, and will re-schedule via the telephone.

The governor predicts 25.5 million Californians will contract* the Chinese flu. Really !? That, right there, only fuels the panic. Next step martial law?

*Does anyone ever sign a contract to suffer from disease, virus, and the like?
Hey, doc, sign me up for the flu and a side of malaria.

Weather is somewhat less than pleasant at the moment. Weather radio going off every 10 minutes or so. Confirmed tornado sighting 12 NE of me. Other than that forecast is for quarter size hail and 60 mph winds. Tis the season for such things.

Well, on the bright side they haven't lost their sense of humor.

Well, on the bright side they haven't lost their sense of humor.

Oh, man, that's so funny!!

The cancellation notice was left on our answering machine, but even my wife couldn't understand it. She listened to it three times and still was sure what was said. Of course, I couldn't understand any of it.
Maybe my wife needs aids, too.

 

[Brad]

Getting ready to head back home.
Wife said it rained this AM, thunderstorms and hail in afternoon. Around 4:30 a tornado warning just south of us. Forecast tonight is for 1” of snow.

Nebraska does have schizophrenic spring weather.

Lots of rain here the last few weeks. The last two years have been crazy wet, we average 39" a year and had right at 60" last year. So far it looks like we'll match up with that this year. May have to swap out my knee boots for chest waders to mow the lawn when the time comes.

 

[Cadillac Jeff]

well it's time to admit-----ice fishin is over<<<dangit! to many black holes out there for me!!
snow is down to 4 or 5 in. in the back 40...driveway is clear--it's been white sence end of October.
oh & the social distancing thing We don't see anyone here anyway.....so I guess I been practicing for years

 

[Rally]

There are 624 pages to this and Lamar still hasn't changed the spelling in the title!! LOL
Got the .243 brass trimmed and finished 15 dozen snares. Wife made a crock pot full of chicken soup and loaf of bread. Yum. Calling for single digit temps tonight and the wind is howling. Winter going out on it's terms.

Ok now go back to the beginning and re-read the thread . . . You will find where Brad offered to fix that and Lamar said no. Drat, now I let the cat out of the bag, Guess ya don't need to read it all after all.

 

[Rally]

I read it when he posted it Rick, but it's more fun to pull Lamars chain.

 

[fiver]

intentional mis-spelling is my specialty.

I could type in clear king's English, but then I'd just confuse myself, and my punctuation would take better than an hour to edit in.

I was just getting all my stuff together to start painting more wood for the garden box, and the trellis for the roses when Littlegirl stopped in with some potatoes to swap for the rice and stuff I got her the other day.
she also somehow managed to get me to take her to get some dirt over at the Ace store where her hubby works.
that somehow morphed into helping her build her big 12X4 box.
I didn't like her design the first time she showed it to me and I didn't much care for it again today so I had to donate some wood to the cause, but I feel better about the whole thing.
the basic box is done and the first 8"s of dirt is in it, and we only got snowed on for about 4 hours of the operation.
guess i'll try again tomorrow.

 

[Ian]

Almost made it through the sixth paragraph capitalizing "I". I was beginning to wonder if it was really you and then.....nope, he's back. Whew! After reading something over 50,000 posts on five different forums (some going back well over a decade) a person gets used to seeing things written a certain way.

 

[fiver]

extra buttons and stuff.
I only type with 3 fingers [and sometimes a thumb] so two buttons at a time is one too many.
I can assure you any capitalized letters [other than those for a name or an acronym] are done by the computer.. LOL

School's out until 4/17 .

Poured here from about 7:30 to 10 last night .
It is staying warm but that makes the 2 rooms with cement floors sweat badly .......

We have/had a bad guy running loose in the area yesterday last seen 4 miles north . Seems he shot a LEO in Tx and ran north through Ar ...... Clyde Barrow or James Younger this guy ain't , they got home on camera at the E-Z Mart Ms is working yesterday about 2:30 am . The twig girl working that shift said he did act like he was coked up or something ....... Good times

Threatening rain somemore today already .

Just carry out and curb side here to now . Truck stop coffee has to go in a new cup every service , no refills of nothing .

Cali daughter is locked in , in Lemon Grove . No return to school date even suggested .

Nv daughter is out of work as of midnight , well 1 day a week to take and pass takeout/curbside orders .......

No more child support checks unless that XDIL does her taxes , because if someone gives her the 1 day a week she's all "give it to Sue I'll just stay home . "

Co son beat the lock down and is here with my Mom . "Does it ever stop raining , at least it's warm ."

Ky son .... Well Army so he's probably polishing flag pole rocks to stay busy .

[fiver]

if it weren't I wouldn't have made it to say 2... err day 2.
and auto correct sure has it's moments.

well it looks like I'm going to be doing some up planting of a few things today.
the little miniature eating pumpkins are starting to shoot out flower buds.
but they ain't quite in the vine growing stage just yet, I guess a re-plant and a trip to the green house to fend for themselves is in order.
I might have to go get some of the dirt back out of the box, no big deal it's not like I won't be getting another 30-40 bags of it anyway.

Rain in the last 48 hours has removed all the snow and ice (except the north side of buildings).
Snow was predicted for last night...and it missed us. Sunny and breezy and 27º right now, not suppose to get warmer. It looks nice outside, but doesn't 'feel' like it.
I'm get'n antsy to work the ground with a fork so I can plant some cold weather seeds. I have a few Shepard's hooks in the garden holding wind chimes, 3 or 4 of them tipped over, indicating the frost is out or partially out. My veggie farmer friend said the Kale he planted last fall is now showing up since the snow is gone, I may dig a few of those for my garden. He is worried about the up coming farmers market and the effects of Kung Flu virus on it. He asked me to consider being a his partner this summer, using my garage as a "pickup point" for pre-ordered boxes of Veg and of course I would be the clerk, taking appointments for pickup. I told him that should work, if the regular market flops.
