here in flyover country , we can move freely 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. TY K we only have statewide 106 active cases at this time --two deaths attributed to it .. nothing like there, nor will it be .., they expect 200 total deaths when its all said and done
The lips of fools bring them strife, and their mouths invite a beating.Proverbs 18:6

I've gone out a couple times and noticed the lack of traffic. Have half a theory that there's gonna be a big spike in traffic accidents when this stay at home thing is lifted. People that have to drive getting used to not really having to look for traffic.

Your theory is correct. Typically, we see huge spikes on the following days: - first rainy fall day, because the roads have lots of wet leaves on them - first warm day before spring actually starts - first real snowfall - first rain after a long period of dry weather I would expect the first week or so after the stay home orders are rescinded will generate a huge volume of accidents. Not only will people not be used to driving, but EVERYONE will be out on the road, and everyone will be in a big hurry, very impatient, etc. It would be a great time for motorcycle riders to keep the bike in the garage.

Working on the garden and pruning a couple dead oak limbs made me do stir crazy stuff today. Wife had a chuck roast out and I decided to drag out the dutch oven. Stoked a fire with the oak and got a good bed of coals, browned the chuck on the cast iron and set up the low and slow by tucking onion 1/4" around the sides and adding some red wine water and beef stock, 3 hours later added halved potatoes, home grown carrots cut in 1/3's covered the mess with more water and gave it another 90 minutes. Everything is better when cooked outside. We're in this what, 3 weeks, going to be a long couple months. you sound [kinda] like "granpa jones" on hee haw. i'll respond : YUMM ! YUMM ! if ya got any X-tras, i'll be right over !

I bet in this area here you could change that to First "any type of" snowfall. Around here, people find something to run into the second the 1st snowflake hits their windshield.

Shop work daily 1.5 mile Riverwalk, and I enjoy cooking. Two weeks ago I made meat sauce for spaghetti and homemade meatballs for sandwiches. Yesterday I made two pounds of baked spaghetti.

Are you going to eat all that or are you cooking for an army? Lol. That’s for my 31 year old son that lives with me and myself. We both love leftovers and don’t mind eating the same meal for a few days.

I raised two boys so when I cooked I cooked a lot. It's taken me years to scale down my cooking for just the little woman and I. Lol

I live in Northern Ohio on Lake Erie and every year about this time there is a big fishing tournament that brings people in from all over the country. Not sure about the tournament still going on but there are a lot of fisherman from out of state like it's still going on. Parking lots are full of trucks and trailers. Farthest state I saw was Montana. Our county only has about 5 cases so far I'm sure that it will grow with all the fisherman and birders.
Our county has the most Marinias in Ohio those were just shut down last weekend but you are still able to put your own boat in at the public boat slips and state parks.
Yes you read me right birders. And there could be a lot more of them.
They cancelled the birding activities for this Spring. (North Lakeshore of Ohio is a resting place for birds going back north before they cross Lake Erie so in recent years we get swamped with birders from all over the country) I'm not sure in the virus that will stop the birders. If they come, it will be late Apr., early May. Would that be Ottawa county?

Yes, I live in Port Clinton. Yesterday the lake was very calm and there were more fishing boats out there than I’ve ever seen this time of year. If I would have been thinking I should have took pictures.

Well, I'm honored! Living in the country has it's advantages, and some drawbacks. New neighbor moving in next door, has 3 acres. On friday, puts his brand new horse pen made of pipe panels 7' off the back of shop and near our home and back yard. I tried to talk with the Jack 'ol and he's a real piece of work. His girlfriend (owner) is very nice, and yesterday moved the pen after our dog barked at least three times in the middle of the night because of the new noises at night, obviously thinking it was a big dog. Now last night I'm woke to our dog barking at a treed something, obviously the neighbors cat, a calico stuck on our arbor. We get it down, and this am cat is on top of our truck water pump, and dog chased it 30' up a tree. I need naps today, lol. Also need neighbor to come get her cat. No way to call so, a note on the fence. These new suburban transplants need to learn. They are not country just because they own a horse that's not in their rented stable. I'm hopeful they will end up good neighbors, she seems great, not sure about Jack.
