Sheltering In Place-Official Thread? (1 Viewer)

My children's first online Karate class through Zoom. I'm seriously impressed that the instructor has set this up so quickly and has already got a regular schedule of classes going online. Small business owners doing stuff right! I wish their school district was 1/10th as proactive.

My wife owns a fitness center/gym. Think boutique for middle aged women. She's been filming online content the last two days. It amazes me how quickly people can adapt. Understandably not all businesses can do this, but it's nice to see people making an effort.

We've been self quarantining for about 3 weeks now because I've been studying the data and saw this all coming, and I'm high risk because of my prior bouts with pneumonia. We loaded up on food and supplies and have just been staying busy with projects and family time. It's boring at times, but it's been nice too. I just finished building a 3D printer, so I'm excited to play around with that. Also decided to start learning Chinese. Not sure how far I'll get with that, but it's fun to learn so far.

I'm fortunate to be able to work from home though. But I'm scared for those who cannot. Sadly, this is going to have to last for a lot longer than 3 weeks. They're just starting with the "3 weeks" line to see how it goes, but it's going to take several months if we want to have any chance of keeping our Healthcare system from getting overwhelmed.

The term Netflix and chill is taking on an entirely new moment.

Lucky to have laundry in my building. Went to do some yesterday and found that my luck had changed. Our washer is out of order

Laundry in the sink is fun! Yay!

Curious as to which chips everyone is gonna spend their stimulus check on?

So I've not been able to "shelter in place" as a matter of fact I've worked non stop. Wednesday and Thursday were the first days off I'd had in a MONTH. Since the wife and kids have been out of school (the wife is a teacher's aide) my son has been playing with his Legos a lot and wanted to build something "Big" by his very specific measurements. So I called a Lego resale shop in St Louis that sells bulk Legos and bought 20 pounds of Legos! We spent the better part of the last 2 days building a castle that I don't yet have a photo of. This was the loot right after unboxing.

Stuck at home so might as well get some milling done. 120 done, only about 1,000 more to go.

Install new firewall appliance
Install new wireless system
Re-organize garage
Disassemble ceiling fan to find that damn clicking noise - fix noise.

When you wake up at 4:00 AM everyday and have nothing to do, is 11:00 AM too early for a beer?

Asking for a friend...

Been home bound for 3 weeks now with Wife & 12 & 13 yr old Grandsons (Actually Adopted Sons) and except for some minor breakdowns with the boys, all is well.

I thank God, we live on the Lake and have plenty of move around space and can go Fishing when I want.

We order our groceries from Wal Mart and they load them in the trunk of the car. so we don't even get out of the car.

God Bless Everyone and hope all ends great.

My son has kinda taken over my poker room with Legos since the apocalypse hit. He's been sitting in there looking at my chips and table. So my son decided that he wanted to make a poker table just like dad's with Legos. He has a "card shark" and you have to have some star wars guys, captain America, Batman, Ironman, and a cool guy with sunglasses. I told him I'd share it with you guys so enjoy lol.

I'm BatMan!

I'm BatMan!

After he put it together he realized Batman had no chips. He said "I guess he already lost" so then he felt bad and gave him some chips lol.

Was going to say “why cause all he’s got in front of him at the end of the night is a drink?”

I think the family has been cooped up for too long. I at least leave the house every day for work they're here 24/7. He keeps coming in asking "what does everyone think about it?"

I’m driving between NC and NH every two weeks. I severely underestimated how much this drive would take out of me - I’ve done it before 3 times, but over 4 years. I’ve come to dread it. It’s just interminable and miserable.

Other than that, getting some home projects done when I’m back in NC, fixed one of our cars, trying to cook some new things off food my wife gets delivered the local grocer, and working way more than I should from home. It’s hard to turn off at night. Doing this for months is going to be hard but looking like it’s increasingly necessary.
