My wife told me that, yesterday was crazy in the local stores, because of the panic purchasing of the masses.
What Are You Doing Right Now?

That sounds damn good buddy
Feb 2011 we had a full on blizzard here in NE Illinois. Shut several counties down for a couple days. I ended with about 18” of snow. But same here. Day before it was supposed to hit, serious grocery panic buying. News was showing empty shelves in the grocery stores. Storm wasn’t supposed to hit till late afternoon the next day so I just waited till morning to go get the few things we needed. I was just about the only customer in the store and all the shelves had been restocked overnight. I was feeling pretty smug.
My wife had told me that even the Home Depot was filled with the frenzy..
Well apparently HD is trying to be your one stop big box store. Not just house supplies. We were there to pick up supplies for laying tile and walked past pallets of toilet paper on sale. And not the cheap sandpaper TP. Name brand stuff.

We call that the "French Toast Emergency Alert System" here. It seems like everyone goes on a frenzy buying milk, bread, and eggs. Actually, that's quite foolish because if the power goes out, the milk and eggs spoil. If we did like Europe, and not wash the membranes off of the eggs, they could just be placed on a shelf in the pantry, but nooooo. I usually make sure I have plenty of canned food to cook on the grill or camp stove, and beer. Good to go. Good luck. I hear you're getting a year's worth of rain in the next 48 hours. Ought to be some good mudslides your way.
I am out of the mudslide areas, but it could effect my commute to work tomorrow.
Thanks for opening my eyes though

When the Mormon's knock on my door I tell them having 7 years supply of food is very smart.

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Slugs have more ambition than I have at this moment.
Edit: I did eventually muster the ambition to check and air up the tires on the Honda and while I had the air hose out…. Swapped the old rusty ugly lug nuts for a new set I’ve had for months.

Making a lumber list for the upcoming project, and making sure the current project stays on track, and catching hardware shortages, and getting them ordered, checking in on TTR…
Wondering just what everyone else is doing right now….yep.
I just changed bass strings on my T-40 from black tapewound (kinda light gauge) to white tapewound (heavier 60-115) strings…amazeballs difference in “punch to the gut” sound! Happiness is a fresh set….of strings.
