So long as you're practicing social distancing, I don't see much wrong with it.

The Earth is probably so happy right now lol. Think about how much decreased pollution there has been worldwide in the last few days/weeks!

OK, so I have to admit I jumped ahead a bit to see how it ends, I won't give any spoilers but at the 6 hour and 1 minute mark it does seem to get a bit overcast....

Trying to manage my parents (children it seems). They are 76 and 81. Dad just finished radiation, mom had pneumonia early February and is on oxygen. Daily battle about why we need aides in for home care. Dad doesn’t seem to understand the social distancing. Someone shoot me.

I’m still working as my business is essential supply chain; food and beverage. On one hand I thank God my business is not at risk. On the other, I wish I could just stay home. Maybe I can soon but not yet. I have essential employees that can’t work from home. How do I stay home if they can’t? Think truck drivers, warehouse workers, dispatchers that give drivers truck keys. Anyone that can work from home is.

Sorry, second half of this probably belongs in the thread about your job.

Sorry about that. I'm fighting the same with my dad. He has to go out to dialysis 3X a week. I'm trying to inform him of the importance of staying away from things outside of those appointments.

My brother is pretty much petty and misinformed in that he feels he can do what he wants.

Everyday I tell my dad something....he is like well I didn't think about that.

I mean come on.....just stop and use some common sense and think things through.

Went for another boat ride today. We took the little fishing boats this time and it was a beautiful day for a ride. As you can see, we are boat social distancing.

Salty Dog I had to tag you since you were so sassy the other day😂

YouTube was pretty flaky tonight. One video I watched stopped around 80% through it and just wouldn't start again. Couldn't get to any other vid either.

Were you using Chrome? This has happened to me, there's a way to fix it quicky.

Good time to put garden into shape, better than a work out in a gym then get rid of all the clutter in the garage.Finish the day catching some late sun soaking in the hot tub.

I'm having this same issue with my well-meaning DW, who has to go to work because her job is tagged as critical (utilities). She has a habit of stopping to visit her parents (in their 70's) every few days, as well as daily visits to two of our neighbors (mid-80's) who consider her their adopted daughter because she's always checking up on them. They obviously don't understand social distancing, so she needs to avoid all contact with them for their own safety.....

We have a small cottage on Lake Muskoka that my parents bought in 1977, I haven't been up yet and I suspect there is still a bit of ice so it'll be mid may before they get put in the water. But here's some pics of them.

Since gas is cheap, I took the beast out for a long drive.
