Well on the upside, looks like I have a couple of weeks off. They closed down all non-essential businesses here as of 11:59 last night. While we are an essential business we thought it best to cut down on the staff in the office during the next two weeks. So that left us with two Service personnel and the company owner still working in case our services are needed.
My wife works at a grocery store and while there was some initial panic buying on the toilet paper and bread a couple of weeks ago things she said are for the most part normal for them, though shelves are a bit emptier than they usually are. They still have a good supply of the usual food things though. Best part is, I don't have to go do the shopping! The down side to that at first was sending mini shopping lists every day she works by text messaging. Was taking considerable time to type all that in, until I learned the phone had voice recognition and I could simply dictate the list! I'm learning some interesting things about my cell phone and how to use it.
Now, what to do for two weeks! OMG I might even be able to go down to the workshop and actually work on one of several models I've started over the past couple of years. I've got the General Hunter, the bomb vessel cross section proto-typ (that Dave picked up on here after I had to put it on the shelf) and a chinese junk I started building for my brother a few years back.
I have the little admiral at home with me as well, as school is closed for March break (and we're told even longer as they don't plan on opening the schools again after that is over). The first thing on the agenda though, at her request, is to make bread. That's one of the many things we enjoy doing together. It will be a surprise for when her mom gets home tonight after work!
