Getting kind of mixed messages on it HERE .....

You can SUPPOSEDLY be walking or biking ... that’s OK ... but you can’t be driving in your car ??

I called the local sheriff Dept and got the vibes that THEY didn’t know the actual ruling.

I understand groups ... I understand beaches ... but just alone taking a cruise ? ... or driving to the shop ??

Was told by a bud that if they stop you and you can’t prove your actions are not considered a CRITICAL NEED ... the fine is 180$ !

Come on doc, spend some time at home. Tonight I made and froze 4 future nights of spaghetti/sauce, 10 pounds of real butter mashed potatoes, a pan of brownies, pressed out 10 lbs of hamburger/sausage patties. Changed three cat boxes.

Might go out and look at the stars in a bit and see if I can spot any owls.

Who needs to drive now?

It is a GOODY !

The least aged car I’ve ever had was the 98 diesel dually .., gotten in 2000. I’ve just bought well used and done all the service work needed. Never had anything that was close to major fail.

In our county we have zero cases with 60 tests completed. We cannot go out in public except essential activities. So, cleaned up part of the garden, fired up the kubota, tilled in the cover crop on one section and began laying out the new (rotation) spring veggie plots. Hope to plant some of the plants we picked up yesterday, set up the cold frames and plant some seeds in peat pots and recycled plastic dairy product tubs. We hope to substantially cut back on trips to town. The meat rabbit project has located rabbits (rex x champagne d' argent) and some good ideas for home grown feed that includes letting 2 bales of grass hay sprout out and sproted whole oats.
Probably get busy on that project next week. Then there is that dead sugar pine begging to be felled and have the fro taken to it. I have to make sure to budget some car and truck time to.

We've been working on the house. Had to get a new water heater and replumb the house. Wasn't a real big deal though since the house was originally built without indoor plumbing most all the pipe is on the outside of the walls. The bathtub drain leaks so I need to deal with that. Cleaned up the garage, cleaned up the fenced in area around the chicken coop and fixed up the fence a bit so we could turn the dogs loose in there without having to constantly watch them. I need to replace a couple boards on the front porch steps and build 2 gates so we can sit on the front porch and let the dogs out. They don't run away but they like to explore. The puppy is a mountain climbing fool. She loves going up these mountains. My older big white dog wondered down to the neighbors the other day while we were working on the plumbing. They have horses, chickens, goats and a couple cows down there so she wanted to visit lol. Had to go fetch her and man was she filthy. Still had the water off so I couldn't even clean her off.

One of the wall heaters isn't working so i ordered a couple new ones, supposed to be here Monday so I will install them. It's 32 degrees outside this morning and 58 degrees in the kitchen area where the dead heater is. Just a little chilly laugh2 Always something to do. I wish I had my Power Wagon up here now, plenty of roads I want to explore but will not take my D250 down for fear of getting stuck. laugh2

I don't know how you're supposed to prove you're going someplace essential short of keeping groceries in the car. I have a travel paper for work but won't do me any good Sunday afternoon. Around here the auto parts and home improvement stores are open and you can go in. Be interesting when they try to enforce it like other parts of the country. shruggy

Spend any time fabbing up the still while you were doing plumbing? I mean ya gotta adapt to the local culture and around here the booze stores are shuttered.

Hardly anyone is out anywhere so when I go out at midnight or so and cruise around for a couple hours its not like your going to run into anybody...

Best thing is no one is going to run into you... up

I don't see a problem with going out for a drive, as long as there's no human interaction.
If the local enforcement objects, throw a sack of canned food - ooh, better yet, paper products - in the car.
Me, I'm just getting all my indoor projects done, waiting for the weather to improve.
Just got 2" of wet snow this morning, jamming up my car & shop attic plans.

I wish I was locked down, lol. Had a job up in Dumas yesterday, 5+ hour drive just to get there. My job is considered essential and I have a letter to that effect from corporate for what good that may do. If it doesn't work then I'll just expense out the fines or have corporate send an attorney to deal with it.

I have been running into a couple of situations where some customers have a health questionnaire they want you to fill out and sign regarding symptoms and where you've been. Legal says I don't have to do that and its most likely illegal to ask. My privacy outweighs your butt covering. If you want to take my temp when get there or send me home if I got a cough, fine.

Had to ship my work laptop off for IT work, eyes, so I took the Cambridge out to The Shipping Point and off it went. Lots of roundtuits getting done as well. I see that's common in this thread as well. Took a weeks vacation next week so I plan, of mice and men comes to mind, to get the Cuda to the point of at least being a roller, finish sorting out the garage so that I can actually work in it productively.

I have other plans for the week, but we'll see how it goes. Might see if I can get my son a couple days to hang out with and work on things with me.

Being in any part of NY right now and during this whole incident you may move freely, you were asked not to.

If we want to be idiots we are free to be.
