How are you passing your time during social distancing

[super6]

I am learning the (how to) trade stocks and bonds. I put $5000 in an ameritrade account and made $200 my first day. Short market buys pay big these days. I need to get some cash into gun sales and ammo soon! If your killing time right now you may as well make some cash!

Bites on! Caught about 20 plus dandy perch this afternoon when the sun came out.

Honey-Do's. Lots and lots and LOTS of Honey-Do's. The house is cleaner than it has been in years, the yard also. Occasionally I will hide in my shop and do something for me but I always get found and re-assigned. Today I spoke (by phone) with the owner of the shop where i have a part time job. The first thing I asked him was "Can I come back to work? SOON???" He only laughed as he knew I was staying locked down until this madness is over. Ah, well, time for another Honey-Do.

I got excited yesterday I caught five perch in 25 minutes when the sun peaked out of the clouds. Then the bite quit. That’s as many fish I have caught with my pole in the water sitting out in the backyard 24/seven for the last week and a half watching for bites window fishing. The water is just too cold yet and it’s coming up. I’ve had three poles on the water since 8 am and not one fish again... Life could be worse. As soon as it warms up you get sick of pulling fish out.

Thats the way it was here. 3 days of fishing produced a nice mess of fish but it all happened in 30 minutes!

Holy Smoke! 2 20mm ammo cans was enough to make me cross eyed!

[bangerjim]

Playing music on my Yamaha GENOS workstation/arranger keyboard several hours a day. Check out the demos on YouTube and the things it can do!!!!!! AMAZING music machine.

Staying out of ear-shot of the wife....she has a list a mile long for me to do!!!!!!

Watching BluRay movies and Netflix. And now that EPIX and HBO is free for a few weeks, catching up on some I do not own.

Probably gaining a pound or two!

Staying in and being healthy.

I’m passing my time by living my life. I really haven’t changed anything.

[bayjoe]

So far glassbedded 2 stocks, trimmed several hundred 308 brass. Waiting for it to warm up so I can do a little hydrographic dipping of the stocks I bedded.

I’m still working and won’t be stopping short of a complete shutdown. I have been home more since we can’t fly anymore. This means I have to handle the tech support calls that aren’t coming in. Sitting in front of a computer for eight hours a day is brutal.

I built a desktop computer at the end of the last year for the purpose of movie and music archiving. I have a large live music collection that’s either on CD, uncompressed, or is compressed into .shn/.flac. I’ve been going through the compressed discs, updating the metadata and adding them to my server. Both in compressed format for archiving and converted to mp3 for streaming. I don’t need to convert them but it keeps data usage down when I’m away from home.

At last count I had about 6,000 hours of concerts across all formats. And I’ve added very little to the server. The uncompressed discs are going to take a lot of time when I get to them. So when I’m “on tech support” I’ve been working on my live music collection. I’m going to have to expand my server. 8tb in RAID 1 is almost full. I managed to archive all my movies and they take up a large portion of that. Not spending money on more hard drives right now so I may have nothing to do if the situation doesn’t improve in a few weeks.

Essential worker here. Nothing has changed other than not going out to eat on my days off. I spend 12 hours a day on a computer at work, then drive home, surf the net for an hour, and go to bed. Wake up, get ready for work, then drive 14 miles to work, sit for another 12 hours, and repeat. 4 days one week and 3 days the next.

Due to winter, it's been dark within a couple of hours of getting up on my days off, so not able to go shooting, or hiking, or do anything to regain my sanity.

Girlfriend comes over and spends the night 2-3 days a week and we just watch TV, drink, and make like rabbits. She just did two weeks of self-isolation due to her dad having a quadruple-bypass surgery, so missed that diversion for a while.

Weather is still awful and the snowpack in the mountains is substantial, so can't go anywhere.

Pretty sure I'm sinking into depression, which is normal this time of year. No sun, no fun, and now no human interaction for months is taking it's toll.

Spending way too much money online ordering components and accessories for my new AR-10. No idea when I'll finally be able to shoot it.

But, Spring is right around the corner and a couple of hiking trips will refresh my spirit and body.

Cleaning off a fence line and cutting wood for next winter. Need to wean some calves this week if weather permits. Have two new to me, MP hollow point moulds to use if rain is too bad for outside work. Sunshine today, maybe shoot a few carpenter bees if temp. gets high enough for them to venture out.

I’m off work now, for a week and a day. Been building fence, finishing putting siding on the goat barn, built a hay feeder, planting garden, casting, powder coating, loading. Enjoying the time with my wife and children. Actually getting (not enough) but more than I was, SLEEP.

[gwpercle]

Got a few garden plants in the ground . 4 tomatoes and 4 TAM jalapeno peppers . They all planted , caged , fertilized and mulched .
As of today I have 3 Tomatoes on two plants ... BLT's in progress !
Still haven't found the Gypsy Pepper plants I like to grow each year but I will .
Still a tad early for the Okra to be planted...I might go ahead and plant some anyway.
Wife bought some Pumpkin seed ... I'll never understand why . What do you do with pumpkins ?

. What do you do with pumpkins ?

Search "Homemade pumpkin puree" to see how to make it from a whole pumpkin.

The search 'pumpkin recipes' most call for the cans of puree.
But making your own is not much different than making real mashed potatoes.

There are hundreds of dishes and dessert recipes for them.
