  1. An the Dems are talking about another 2 TRILLION stimulus package, so crank up the printing presses at the Treasury. Talk about some tax increases in the future.
  2. It's been hit or miss on paper products, red meat is getting harder to find, I did score two big London Broils last trip, and since I cut them up in thirds (just the 2 of us here) we got 6 meals in the freezer, pork is scarce but no big surprise there. I was able to get a pork loin last week and we got 2 meals out of it, so that was good. Veggies are kinda hit or miss, just need to time it right at the store. Last time I was at wally world, they were stocking during the daytime, so some isles were blocked with new product but the employees were standing there talking, not stocking the shelves. LOL.. Luckily the liquor stores still have what I want or prefer, so all is good.
  3. I use a cheapo badminton racket, keep one on the screened in porch and one out in the shed, I can see the deck from both. If I catch one solid, little bugger takes off like a tennis ball off a racket, or they get stuck inbetween the strings. LOL. I've gotten about a dozen so far this year. SIL uses a butterfly net to catch 'em and then steps on 'em. LOL
  4. I carry 2 or 3 to my gun range which is about an hours' drive away, I have the guns in padded zipper cases, ammo is in those plastic 50/100 rd boxes (I hand load), all in the back seat of the truck. Never had an issue but never been stopped by LEO either. I do go thru drive thru's for breakfast. No loaded guns, so if a LEO wants to see what I have, he's welcome to look.
  5. Proshot makes a nice/good 17 cal rod, and I've found their products at Rural King as well. If you are a user of bore guides, they are difficult to find for the .17's, you can try using a ink pen body for a bore guide, it may or may not work for your rifle but they will work on TC contender barrels. RVB Precision makes a pretty nice bore guide for the .17's if you want a real bore guide, google should turn the business up. A patch worm kit will work, but not sure if it will remove the copper you're gonna get.
  6. Call Bowater pulp mill, they are just up the road from you and see if they'll buy your few trees.
  7. ORSA (Oak Ridge) has cancelled all events thru 4/18/20 and will re-evaluate at that point in time. The range is open for members only but I haven't been in about 2 weeks.
  8. I saw the same topic on Fox news earlier this week. I took Cobol back in college since I needed a programming course or 2. Guess I could come out of retirement eh?? And work for the gubberment??? NOPE.
  9. I watch Fox news as well, and have noticed for quite some time the hosts will cut the "experts" off about the time the expert is stating the answer I or everyone wants to hear. They try and cover as much news or opinions as they can, and it can be frustrating for sure.
  10. I've heard rumors of various issues with cell phone towers, wife had trouble making a phone call yesterday, and her eyephone was acting weird earlier today.
  11. Probably a dumb ?, but WHO has the license? The nurse or the hospital. The nurse is the one that spent hours and hours in school to learn/know almost as much, if not more than a doctor as that is their desire to do. How can a hospital yank a nurse's license. Bad referral for being a bad employee I see that, but what I read above seems a bit far fetched to me, but that's why I'm asking.
  12. Heard on the news that some of the patients at the hospital ship had the C19 virus, so I hope they can control it so the whole ship can be utilized.
  13. Auto pay means your payment is one less that someone has deal with in some form or fashion. Eventually, one less employee on the payroll, and less customer service when there are issues.
  14. If you took the C19 issue as serious as YOU say guys who go fishing should then maybe you should not go driving around doing your appraisal work. While doing your "drive-bys" as you call them, you could be involved in a vehicle accident and cause injury, forcing someone to go to a hospital, and potentially increase the risk exposing them to the C19 virus. Just because you don't enjoy the sport of fishing, be a man and don't criticize someone else doing something that is currently legal.
  15. Wife mentioned something similar to this happening in the New England area, hospital staff being furloughed or laid off due to lack of patients. My brother had his 2nd knee replacement done on 3/17/20, and doctor told him he was one of the last 3 he would probably do because of the C19 issue.
  16. If they don't take C19 patients at the hospital ship, and it appears it will be under utilized, then send some of the ships medical team over to the hospitals to help or relieve the land based hospital staffs so they can get some rest.
  17. Both of us are retired, I have lots and lots of odd jobs to do around the house and spend a lot of time in the "hobby room" on rainy days. On sunny days I try and do an odd job or two outside just to get out of the house, and I did go fishing today, ramp parking lot was OVER FLOWING. Next week the weather looks crappy again, so. We go thru a drive thru at times, run to the grocery store once a week as needed but stay home for the most part.
  18. So you had autopay "on" for AT&T correct?? They can change the billing cycle anytime they desire, suits their mood. Same for going up in price but it's usually on an annual basis with AT&T based on my experience. Only ones I have on auto pay are the local electric and water/sewer/gas bills. All others I pay thru electronic banking so I don't have to pay postage every month. I get a notice/email from AT&T/DirectV that the bill can be viewed, but I don't have this one on autopay. I wait for the paper bill to come before I pay 'em, and I can set the date/amount for the electronic pmt to be made for each one of my bills, even my CC bills, but I pay all in full every month. I don't sign up for the "e" bills, all are paper version.
  19. Fishing is legal as long as you practice the social distancing/safe health guidelines. I'm going fishing today, solo so I'll be distancing myself from everyone else as I usually do.
  20. I'll wear a scuba mask then. LOL Apparently other fishermen (people ??) didn't get that memo, drove to 2 different boat ramps today, parking lots were half full at one, and maybe 10 max at the other.
  21. I've seen a boat being pulled in my area almost everytime I get out going to the store. I'm thinking I will find out tomorrow if the weather holds.
  22. It would be accurate too as those asterisks cover a lot of ground.
  23. Reports I've seen the www (gotta be true right) indicate 1st time buyers are going wild with the desire to protect their hordes of TP and hand sanitizer.
  24. While there may be heavy volume due to the current situations we face, I experienced a 1-2 hr delay in a BG check in Oct or Nov '19. The dealer stated it had been slow all day long, and he guesstimated a 1-2 hr delay. It ended up being about 75 minutes IIRC. There was nothing special going on that day that I remember. Sometimes, computers just have a work slow down.
