How is Everyone Doing?

I have to stop watching the news networks....but I feel trapped....I’m not the only one home either, so cranking up often feels kinda rude....so it’s short bursts.
Then there’s the unemployment thing...and bills...and food...and everything is weird.

....and no bleepin’ HOCKEY! Except for repeats....
 
I have been in now for two weeks, just going out to get groceries then back home...Trying not to think about the weeks to come … Tv getting old, tired of the news repeating the same thing about the virus. Tired of being cooped up in the house. But hey life is very good, good health is very important, and I am very grateful for that! Better to be safe than sorry..keep smiling me Brothers!!!(y)
 
presently Florida isnt "closed" though they did shut down the Fl Keys --
and Beaches are slowly kicking out the spring breakers-----
--- so far we have work scheduled (installations) for the next week solid--- not sure if that will HAPPEN or not --- we are "open" but assume the Gov is going to step up and say STAY HOME at some point...........
I can do bids-- email prospects etc from home -- but how long we can "weather" a shut down Im not privy to those figures-
How long will the owner pay me to stay home and do bids?
how long will contractors SEND bids if nothing is being built........? IF $ dries up? or is re-directed to other efforts .........
Lots of questions----only time will tell......
 
i did this yesterday

WE ARE OPEN

on all my stuff

slammed ever since.. was really getting some music in, 3 songs done since sat..the phone not ringing as much was a nice break( honesttly have not been off since 2012..we go away from time to time..but my phone rings all the time ..every meal...shower,,,every lead line ready to record..never fails..

this altered my retirement & move

was going to partial finance the business sale

prob ride it out now & work till 62..have quite a few workers & their families to keep supporting with work,,value my guys...hard workers..very hard

the financial stuff stinks..the economy was fantastic..everybody i know was working..both kids got houses last year. Might have to be more of a provider in the future than i realized
 
In Sweden it is almost looked downed, the big Companys HQ is Closed, Volvo closes for 3-4 weeks which means that 25000 will be surface jobs in the meantime.

I have been shopping today so we are good for 1 week or 2.

But this is crazy how fast it's gone with this fuc..ing Virus

Pretty quiet here. Our old house closed escrow on Tuesday, so no more mortgages and cash in the bank. Contractor finished the studio floor this week and I got 2x4s to start working on the air gapped walls. We’ll do a grocery store run tomorrow but a normal buy, no panic buying for us.

But we did have a visitor today. That’s the empty lot to the east of us. About 50 ft from our driveway.

It's crazy here. We over 500 infected in our state, most in my area. Mardi Gras really screwed us. There's been panic shopping for about a week now. Today there was no bread anywhere. People are wearing gloves and masks in public. I don't want to go anywhere unless I absolutely have to. I've got a ten pack of strings and bunch of guitars that need a restring.
 
Things never stop when you work for US Customs and Border Protection. Of course I DO NOT get to work from home
and have to go in everyday. The good thing is I still have a job and get paid. Bad thing is exposure...I'm super healthy
though.

I hope we all make it through this unscathed. They have put an armed guard at our Albertson's and are only letting people
in a few at a time when people exit. I don't understand the mad rush for food. This is not a food crisis!

I'll be carrying everywhere I go from now on...making the wife stay in unless I'm with her. There are some people
taking advantage of this and some people will get desperate with no income...

Here too! I don't really understand why, but it still is...

I think there are three possible reasons behind the tendency to stock up in a time like this:

1. People are trying to minimize their exposure. So, by buying large quantities at a time, they will have to go to the store less often, reducing their exposure to others.

2. If a person is at all fearful of getting sick, that person may stock up because that person may be quarantined and may not be allowed to go back to the store for some time.

3. Some people may just be stocking up because they think that those who fit into the first two categories are going to buy everything up. So, some people may be stocking up just because they are afraid everything is going to be unavailable for some time.
