I’m feeling really lucky right now as I moved from a busy town to a remote bit of countryside last year. Couldn’t have timed it better! I can wander for miles and still be in isolation
Hey Simon, you must be PISSED! You were "Social Distancing" before it was TRENDY!

Problem is, most masks have been diverted to first responders.
My wife found a sewing pattern and made us masks.

On that note, here's a very relevant video from Chris (LasonicTRC-920)

Thanks for sharing that.

Well I'll never complain about my mother's meatloaf again! Chris, how you held the vomit back, I'll never know....kudos
Stay healthy guys and gals
I don't know how I did it. As mentioned in that video, there were many occasions where I was on the razors edge of vomiting at the table. Literally the only thing I could do was forcefully wash it down with beer only to find out that it's back in my mouth again, refusing to go down. All I could think is "Man, the Boombox community will never know what I am going through for them"
Today was the first time in 17 days my wife and I have left the house. She had a doctors appointment and since we were out, we topped off on groceries. There is something strange about it. Like having a savings account and not wanting to spend it. The first time we shopped with the plan to stay in, we had no idea how long we could last. It became apparent, we had allot of goods. So this time around we bought ingredients to go with the goods we already had along with things you just can't substitute like Draino, Veggi's, bread, Beer and Whiskey
I have taken a stance, almost a personal challenge to do what ever it takes. Overkill, to do my best to guarantee we don't get sick. But after returning from the store, I kind of realize, there isn't that much more that can be done.
I exited the car with gloves and mask to buy beer, touched the cart with one hand, beer with the other, no interaction with the clerk. I put the beer in the car with the beer hand, pushed the cart back with the cart hand, washed my gloves at the car with hand sanitizer and went into the grocery story. Pulled a cart, whipped down the handle with an antibacterial clothe (provided by the store) and shopped.
But even with these measures and the 97% of other people in the store doing the same, there were others in the store being total dickheads. I had a young guy, in flip flops, no gloves or mask, repeatedly crowding me in the isle, once pushing between me and my cart to reach something and then acting like I was the problem. I gave up on that isle, shopped somewhere else and then came back.
But the real issue I saw, when I first entered the store, was too young guys, both military (I was shopping on the US Navy Support Site commissary). These two were in the vegetable isle "Mock Coughing" and laughing it up. It took just a few seconds before a woman went to the front and returned with two military police and those two guys were removed from the store. Almost an hour later, when we exited the store, those two guys were still out front standing next to a military police car with a commanding officer reading them the riot act.
The reality is, no matter how hard I work to protect my wife and I from this, it's little TW@TS like those two that will end up farking over 100 other people.

I hope you all stay safe so we can keep cranking our blasters down the line! PEACE!
A bunch of clueless disrespectful idiots. If the virus could only replicate in the dumb among us maybe the world could get back to normal in a month or so.
