OT - How are you spending your time “social distancing?”

Doing the some of the same things I would have been doing, but also some of the projects are delayed due to lack of desire to venture out and purchase the necessary materials.  We moved into a house that needs a lot of work in August and have been busy with projects there with many left to do.  I wish I would have had the foresight to stock up on bourbon.

Smaller stores are delivering home improvement supplies or providing curbside service. I’m thinking about having some lumber delivered.

You must be new to bourbon.  One shouldn't have to stock up on bourbon, rather always have a "several" options available at all times.  (read as lots of bottles on hand at all times)

Installed a gas fireplace.  Setting the mantel, ledge stone and TV this weekend.   Next up after that is a tile backsplash.   I’m doing my part to stimulate Home Depot....

Don't forget the alkali resistant mesh tape and mortar!! DO NOT use a bucket of mastic (pre-mixed "mortar"). Fun project. I am a tile buff. Feel free to ask questions if you got em.

I did use the alkali resistant tape and I’m using speedset mortar for the stone.  I’ve done misc projects and repairs in the past but this will be my first larger project!

Do not use to install resin­backed stone use EBM­Lite™ Epoxy Bonding Mortar 100% Solids, CEG­Lite™ 100% Solids Commercial Epoxy Grout or contact Custom's® Technical Services for recommendations. When setting glass tile larger than 6" x 6" (15 x 15 cm), contact Custom's® Technical Services for recommendations. When setting dimensional stone larger than 12" x 12" (30 x 30 cm), 

Just FYI

I guess I’ll get caught up on “what are you doing now”. I’m 4900 posts behind.

I also just went to the grocery store to load up and bought a 10CuFt freezer garage rated. FYI freezers are like wiped out of inventory everywhere. 

I feel like an idiot loading up, but based on how my family in Spain and Italy tell me European countries are reacting, I expect USA to be close behind. I think world leaders are coordinating efforts. Mandatory quarantine and very limited travel may not be far away.

The national guard is already calling everyone with deployment orders. The DoD has ensured they will not be federally controlled but simply to help with testing and setting up temporary hospitals. I believe that is the intention, but who says that can't change?

Maybe I am wrong?

Based on how the general public has responded before things were even bad, I don’t expect them to behave any better once the pressure really hits.

I have started counting my farts throughout the day. A long multi burst counts as one here. Its OK for me as i am consistent with this statistical summery.

Here is hoping that your farts don't stink, your beer remains cold and everyone stays safe out thar.

How much is a shart worth? Asking for a friend

Sharts count double.  They are the fortune cookie of the fart world.  They are like rolos or geodes, you think you know what you’re getting but then you get an awesome surprise with it.

Please troll flag this if you have a micro-peen.  It's totally anonymous and you know who you are.

I continue to struggle with knowing who I am, but I am hopeful that this extended time alone will help me figure it out.

Micropeen, HA!  I haven’t heard that term since I lived in Kansas.

I have 18,000 emails in my non-work inbox. 

I wonder what I can get it down to?

@speed51133: Tried Mulan?

I've never seen it. Will give it a shot. I have also never seen Pocahontas. 

You're out of luck.  She dropped out of the Presidential race.

I think peoples behavior is what I've found to be more troubling than anything through all this.  For the first time in my life I've seen it takes very little for societal conventions to break down.

I was at Central Market this morning..plenty of meat/chicken/pork/veggies, btw.

I couldn't believe how many folks had their kids with them. Wandering around touching everything in sight.

Jesus.

So far there are three forum members with micro-peen.  I'm pretty sure I know who they are.

Late breaking news.  The count is now 4.

It’s like the ending of Fight Club around here 🙄

Keep getting crazy pages (20) of this stuff posted on my wall.  Has been going on for weeks.  This is not something a “sane” person would do. WTF is wrong with this guy?
