60+ year old thread.

Enjoy work Mark. don't have to get dressed which is a plus. Spring has arrived so lets hope Mother Nature is kind to us with no surprise snow storm.
It's sad to hear of anyone passing away from this Covid-19. Hope everyone stays safe. From what I have seen and heard down here, drive thru testing is now the way to go. Have a good day and enjoy the first day of Spring even though it's raining.

 

Will do Ken, you and yours as well.

 

Good luck Ken and Rob.
Totally different situation I had several years ago, but, my wife and I, her niece, and her niece's friend were on vacation in Ireland when the Iceland volcano blew up. We were scheduled to fly home on a Thursday and it looked like the airports were going to be allowing flights for the first time in over a week on that day. I asked the airline if they would put us up in Ireland until Sunday (and flight home on Sunday), in exchange for our seats on the Thursday flight. They were willing, but my wife and the two girls didn't want to take the chance.
I thought, Hell, I'll take more time on Vacation.

 

Good morning y'all.
Watching the news of empty streets, get the feeling of watching movies after a major disaster. Busy at the store yesterday, everyone is calm, patient. Picked up my generator from the dealer that I had go thru the carb, I couldn't get it off on Sunday to clean it out, has been fine the last 20 years I have had it. No TP on the store shelves this time, plenty of feminine hygiene products for some reason. ? Meat cuts were slim, so got some hamburger, stew meat, chicken, pork. Will fix what I call stew later. A little more snow yesterday, no Covid-19 in the county yet.

That guy was one of 3 from the same family who have died from COVID-19. 4 more family members in the hospital, 3 of them critical.

Stay safe out there people!

 

Update, after many hours online, on the phone(over a two hour wait) and at the airport, we were able to book two seats for tomorrows flight. Hopefully we will be home tomorrow night. I would have stayed but the missus was homesick. So packing up now off to the airport tomorrow at noon.

 

Godspeed for safe return home.

 

We got our first confirmed case yesterday.... neighbor said it was someone from the next town over.....

Hope it stays that way for you. We just got our first case....

Safe travels.

afternoon boys.... getting ready to go pick up a work lap top so I can work from home....

 

Hi Ms Susan. Stay safe.

 

Thanks Ken. Doing my best. You do the same!

 

As of about an hour ago...per gov. Wolf...PA is closed!
Close everything except life sustainable businesses.

 

I hope they let me back in tomorrow night. Getting in tomorrow night at Newark airport.

 

Airlines remain open as do grocery stores and beer distributors. Welcome to PA!

Good morning, all. It's going to be an interesting few weeks here in PA...and I'm sure other States will follow suit.

 

I love how the food stores are opening up special hours for seniors -- 7AM to 8AM! I mean, I tend to be an early bird, but sheesh.

Instead of "get outta Jersey!" you want to get in! ;-) Wishing you the best and sending good vibes your way.

We haven't heard any updates from Carol's daughter -- pretty sure she's mad at mom. We're trying some roundabout ways to get info.

 

Oh thank goodness -- my beer stores are not sufficient for another two weeks. Although some local grocery stores also carry beer and wine now, only 50 years after most other states did it. Welcome to PA indeed!

 

My Hospital is so slow we are canceling Nurses.
Only the very sick are coming in.
Hope it stays that way.
Could be the calm before the store.

If they close Package stores we will be inundated with alcoholics going into
withdrawals.

 

I guess I need to come over here since I'm fast approaching 61 and currently on PTO/Vacation time until my last day at work on 23APR2020 with retirement beginning on 01May.

 

welcome

 

Welcome, stock the cooler, find a spot on the porch and rest your feet.
