With all the news and media oversaturation of the same topic lets try and discuss something different.
I am reading Daniel Morgan - A revolutionary life by , I am going to watch The Lonesome dove mini series tonight as our movie night in.
Chime in with what you are doing to keep from going stir crazy.
:F
Me.
I am working in my back yard taking out an old dog pen. Making way for a larger chicken coop. Then I am going to a St Patrick's day Bikini contest. I know I wont win the contest >:D but the local businesses are struggling. I will go spend some money so they can pay rent.
Tomorrow is range day. Need to make sure my AR-15 still knows how to shoot.
That and I was never much for rules anyway. Lakeland is still open for business so come on down, but bring your own toilet paper. :~
I watched a skateboard video from the 80's that my friend is in. I started watching a documentary on Hulu about religious freedoms. I also am reading the Appleseed Pistol Manual. At night, I am reading Washington's Crossing by DHF
Well, my world is changing by the minute! Yesterday, a quick round robin trip to inspect an aircraft at the Orlando Executive Airport. Getting flashbacks to 9/11. I spent about 3 to 4 hours on the tarmac inspecting my aircraft, without the need for hearing protection, yet, to get onboard and do my job, I had to wear rubber gloves and a mask. Go figure!
During that 3 or 4 hour stint, I saw ONLY one aircraft come in for a landing and NONE taking off. I looked to the north at Orlando International and only saw 3 or 4 take off's and landings. The world is changing indeed...AGAIN!
Now back home again, haven't been to the office in over a week and continuing working from home. Believe it or not, haven't missed a beat or a phone call! Of course, the rough part is watching the TV checking in on FOX News every few hours, each time wondering what else are they gonna shut down?
The hard part now is figuring out what to order from Uber Eats, with what few restaurants still doing business. The relaxing part of all this mess, is having the time to drop a few lines in my back yard lake, catching a bass or two, and doing catch and release.
There are worse ways of dealing with pandemics!! :boohoo:

Just finished reading Confrontational Politics by H.L. Richardson and Restoring our Republic by Ned Ryun. Currently reading in several reloading manuals to help figure loads for some of my less often used Boom sticks.
Also, in this area of the world it is known that when you are going to indulge in a Corona, you squish a Lime into it first, or it will make you sick... :sb:

Not reading, or watching much.
Same ole, looking after the wife, and working on a bullet mold with captive hollow point pins.
Doing some self quarantine with a rifle.
Riding my bicycle is always a good way to de-stress and have some some good clean fun. Exercise and sunlight probably helps, IMO.
Loading. Mass quantities. O0
Just finished shooting the NRA Highpower Across the Course, Orange Blossom Regional match held all last week. Guns to clean. Bench backed up with reloading projects. Waiting for the OBR Mid-range and F-Class to matches to finish March 25 so I can take the 6.5 Creedmore out for some quality range time. The state has closed state parks so thinking of an alternative to the trailer camping trips we had planned for the first and last weeks of April. Watching the TV series Hunters on Amazon Prime.

Our lovely State Parks are open if you feel so inclined.
We are two of the 40 Million Californians who are under lockdown. But it does allow for outside exercise. So we took a new to us shotgun to the range to make sure that it still knows how to shoot. It does! :-). Someone before us got it working very very smoothly.
We are watching paid training videos from some of our favorite trainers.
Reading some firearm training books.
The person doing the reading gets their feet rubbed. :-)
We like to distance ourselves from most of the population anyways, so this is completely okay.

I appreciate this; good reads indeed.
"In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." Proverbs 3:6
What is this "fun" you speak of???
The world is shutting down and we are on mandatory overtime. :).
Doing laundry, assembling a couple parts kits for friends and working around the house.
I am extremely thankful that I am able to telework, so still busy, but it does afford time to read.

Parallel reading has the advantage of progressing faster with less fatigue O0
BTW: running around like a bandito is now recommended (gee I wonder what facial recognition has to say to that...), wash your hands dammit and use a knife and fork to eat your Pizza, not your hands!!! Didn't I always recommend that Cable_Guy? :cool2: **) :beer:
