Next 2 weeks on furlough. Not sure what I will do. Been working since the age of 13 and business is stellar with a 4-5 mill backload and everyone is pushing up the schedules with all the schools and colleges shut down. ! Never thought about a furlough happening. Tough week trying to mitigate it all. My Boss has gone to the hospital for emergency gallbladder removal. I am Still required to take off even though. I never turn off the phone or laptop even when on Vacation, but have been forced to do so.

The weeds are bad so guess the yard is in play. Pollen really sucks here, but guess you need a mask to go out anyways. Starting to think about alternative ways to make a living! Getting tired of the grind anyways. Can’t retire yet as the wife tells me such! What to do going forward? Least the fish will get some love in the coming weeks. The Tow Dart is done and can go back outside. Maybe a week of driving the fish on our country roads will enlighten me, at least de stress me! Alone the social distancing should be no issue!

We all ***** about having Chinese parts that suck. Well they built this virus well it lasts longer and hurts more than any of our car parts.
 
Poor girl has been in the trailer since late October. The battery is charged and ready. Me too! Likely to get some yellow pollen on her but at this point I do not care!
 
Look at the up side, at least yours is temporary. A good friend of mine was with one of the major computer companies for 35 years. They were told to go home about a week ago, his boss called him aside & told him that he was probably not going to be called back due to how close he was to retirement. I guess that's just an excuse to lessen the payroll bottom line. He is trying to file for unemployment but the phone lines & on line systems are overloaded. He & two of his neighbors have gotten together & are helping out their older neighbors with outside projects. So far, he has kept an upbeat attitude & I hope it continues for him.
 
That's really rough, I feel for the thousands that are in a similar situation. I hope you take time for yourself and visit some of the things that you really never had time for before.
