How are you spending your time?

In the process of refinishing a couple bows.

Dang, you are staying busy! Good for you on reading and exercising. What flies are you tying?

Flies -- building up stock on streamers, buggers and Muddlers right now....I am also tying up baitfish patterns for Roosterfish....we had a trip to Mexico on the books for July, but things are so fluid and volatile right now, we are 99% sure we are going to push it to next summer. We were there last summer (Baja) and it was the best family trip ever. Tying flies keeps me busy, and saltwater flies are fun as hell to tie. Give me a 2/0 hook and an obnoxiously colored 5" sardine pattern over a #20 dry fly any day!

Taking a crash course on how to take a lecture series and convert it to an on line course. For sanity relief I'm stripping my laundry room to the joists and rebuilding it correctly this time with a tile floor.

No distancing for me. Apparently, Caterpillar is a "critical" business enough to not have the shelter in place rule in Illinois apply to them. Business as usual! Unless of course you are an office worker. THEN you can stay at home. While I'm glad I'm still getting a paycheck I don't like being told to disregard the rules and show up no matter what everyone else is doing. Because we all know how important a bulldozer is in keeping the country moving! Oy...

I hid in my truck and had a good cry Monday.

Tuesday I felt sorry for myself most of the day

Wed, nothing like an earthquake to make you forget a virus.

Thurs I was back to being pissed,mechaniced all night

Friday I drank a beer or 4.

In between I was extremely thankful for my customers.

So pretty much a usual week when your self employed

How I'm spending my quarantine!

 

[HandgunHunter]

Still working in the shop. Just slower since the gun industry is swamped right now and back orders are norms.

Going to take the kid into the prairie today to play.....shouldn’t see another person

 

[AlaskaHunter]

Mostly plowing and shoveling snow...we have a storm coming in the next few days.

 

[Clzandstra79]

I’m still going to work, as a residential trash driver unless I actually get the virus I have to work. Wife works from home so nothing has really changed other than the kids are home all day driving her crazy.

We finished and just pulled the taps last week.

If you have walnut trees I highly recommend trying some of that too.

No walnut trees, but I heard you can tap birch?

It appears that the governor’s order does not apply to union tradesmen either. I’m a union carpenter in Chicago and we were notified after the governor’s order to shelter in place, that our job would remain open. There is roughly 500 tradesmen on this job which definitely does not fall under the ”essential work” title in my opinion. They have pulled all of the office staff off the site over a week ago so they can work from home and avoid the risk of catching the virus We were later notified on Friday evening that a worker on site has tested positive for the virus and the job site was closed until further notification. I’m Sure the their plan is to clean the site up and get it open as soon as they can. Gotta make their schedule at any cost I guess.
