With all this time on our hands AT HOME, what are you doing different or new now. I myself am making a point of playing a different guitar every day. I have 3 hanging on the wall so I rotate through those every day, and change amps every week. Yea yeh I know not such a big deal for most. But for a noodler like myself it is.
 
Only played once so far. Do have an issue with one pot on my strat. Need to trouble shoot and fix that. Other than that. I work behind a parts counter so even though I have access to my work email.... ain’t a whole lot a parts guy can do from home. So.... be doing some home repair. Some yard work. Guitar of course. Our pooch is loving having her humans here 24/7.
 
Trying to learn some new songs. A bigger change for us is shopping. Most of the grocery stores here open an hour early for seniors only shopping so we don’t have to endure the crowds. We used to shop every day. Now I shop once a week during seniors hour. My wife can’t come. She’s not a senior. We’ve been eating a lot better because we plan out meals for week ahead.
 
Should add, like Kerry we’ve been limiting our time out. Our local grocery store has a 7-9 Tuesday and Thursday for the over 65 crowd. If we want to take advantage of it, that means me since I qualify and Mrs. IbLive does not.
 
Made honest assessments of amps..in the MBR now studio is my final set up. Moved the others out into hall...4 guitars 5 amps are packed up ...feeling free a bit

also made deal with the Mrs since did Trust for her..i can bring some heavies...put the DSL50 & JMP50 together with the greenback top & bottom 75/Vintage. 4x12 cab. Have 4 Lp's out & time to bring some thump.
 
Been carrying Clorox wipes in my car for years. Just always was in the habit of using them after refueling or ATM visits, shopping cart handles, etc.

Not wearimg a mask, but not really interacting with anyone.

Was wiping my ass well before the shutdown, so no extra toilet paper needed... :-)

Raided all small bottles (4 oz) of isopropyl alcohol from 7-11 stores.
Terrified that I would run out of disinfectant cleaner.
 
Worked my butt off every day this week. See no end in sight. They scrubbed the idea of a 32 hour work week, and we're back on 40. They say no overtime, but I see that going out the window with enough customer complaints. You can't make anything without CNC machinery, and if it breaks... it needs to be fixed.

I would love to spend some time at home.
