Corona Boredom Thread

[NGCSUGrad09]

Working remote isn't bad, get to have all 3 meals with the wife and kids. Been able to spin up more workout, dry-fire and reloading time...although I think I've given myself tennis elbow from working the Dillon 650 so much.

I woke up from a dream last night where I was trekking around the hinterlands of somewhere with a 45-70 lever gun of some type. Totally out of left field, and maybe the cosmos/my psyche is trying to tell me to add a damn lever gun to my collection. [emoji41]

Rainer Arms sales flyer in my inbox today featured a Marlin 45-70 1895SBL.

I believe the universe is trying to tell me something...

Wife mentioned how shopping in the time of COVID feels like a gamble. I emphasize that makes this her, and the late Kenny Rogers, fault:

‐----------------------------------------------------------

On a warm spring-time evening

In a line bound for CostCo

I met up with a shopper

We were both to tired to sleep

So we took turns a starin’

Into limbo at the darkness

The boredom overtook us

And he began to speak



He said, “Son, I’ve made a life

Out of readin’ people’s faces

And knowing where the carts were

By the way the way they held their eyes.

So if you don’t mind my sayin’

I can see you’re out of graces

For a cutsy in the line queue

I’ll give you some advice.”



So I gave up my line place

And he got jumped up one spot

Then he bummed a cigarette

And he asked me for a light

And the night got deathly quiet

And his face lost all expression

Said, “If you’re gonna play the game, boy,

You got to learn to play it right.



You got to know when to mask’up,

Know when to wipe’up,

Know when to walk an aisle,

And know when to run.

You never close your distance

When you’re shopping at the grocery

There’ll be time enough for crowdin’

When the ‘Rona’s done.



Every shopper knows

That the secret to survivin’

Is knowin’ what to cart away

And knowin’ what to leave.

‘Cause every trip’s a winner,

And every trip’s a loser,

And the best that you can hope for

Is to buy some TP.”



And when he finished speakin’

He turned back toward the limbo

Crushed out his cigarette

And stared into the deep

And somewhere in the darkness

The shopper he broke even

And in his final words

I found a grace I could keep

After losing 20lbs, I might be going a little crazy with the Poshmark app.

Glad your time is going well.

I’m working as normal. Wife is trying to carry on as normal from home via conference chat with small children interrupting. Her patience with me is...well. True story :

I’m sure if asked she’d say my normal face is pretty stupid too

If you have interest in coin collecting - here's a good deal :

The online Numismatist journal is interesting, if it is your hobby.

I looked at Truth about guns, when saturated on binging on Jessica Jones on Netflix.

Found this gem: https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/ca...can-buy-today/

Took a walk yesterday and stopped by a frog pond and watch a zillion of them croak (!).

Night gigging. Tasty fried legs. Doesnt get any better than that. And in the daytime theyll hit a fly. Or a treble hook upwards through the jaw. Lots of options.

Just ordered oil for my lawn mower...what's next...Glock maintenance?!

You're welcome.

Despite my best efforts, I'm pretty sure I'm fatter than I have been in awhile. A mix of increasing sedentarianism and cooking too rich food at home.

This is despite my efforts to increase exercise, take more frequent walks, and eat less.
