phatdaddy · #1 03-15-2020, 10:28 AM

My wife and daughter were supposed to go to Ireland last friday, and that go canceled.
They are off work for spring break next week, and school system extended it for another week. Our game plan is to self isolate to shell island during the day and hang in the backyard at night

We ve had our 3rd foggy morning in May, so spanish should be here next week. Sheepshead are in spawn right now and a few pompano scouts have been caught on the beach. Water temp is about 66 to 68 and warming up.

Stay safe, everyone

Just wondered what others are doing?

My Corona plan is to have at least 4, maybe 5 six packs always in the cooler, although it does seem that limes are getting scarce.

Seriously though, since I'm retired I stay home. If I have go out I wear gloves. (Harbor freight is a great source most people don't think about). Remove gloves before I get back in my truck and THROW THEM AWAY, then use hand sanitizer before I touch anything in the truck. Wash hands and face when I get home. (Sing happy birthday to yourself twice if you want to know how long to wash hands). Wash coat every other day. Change clothes when you get home. (Wear clothing that can safely be bleached in the washing machine).

I wish to God that I had a live aboard boat like a Trawler. I'd go live on it out on the water for the next 3 months or so.

2 brand new Suzuki DF200APXW2s are going on the Grady right now.

In a few days I will be self-isolating with a fishing rod in my hand...

A lot of businesses r closed right now around here. I dont have any work. Going to stay away from people, which is what I normally do anyway! Wife is trying to keep up with my sons skool work. Guess its time to do yard work. Maybe go groundhog hunting.

Daughter and son in law just got a 98 year old house 4 blocks from me, needs lots of work, I'm hiding in the 3 car garage building and painting new cabinet doors for their kitchen, it's hard work so I don't expect to see anyone for a good while.

. Seriously though it is the perfect timeing to be alone ! Best of luck to everyone!!

my corona plan is to do what I always do. i'm gonna go to work and order Chinese food and not buy as much toilet paper as I can. I have 3 rolls under the sink and I figure that oughta hold us for a while. I don't plan on wiping my a$$ any more than I usually do. the busiest commuter railroad in the country has been like a ghost town. trains that usually pack in well over a thousand people don't even see a hundred. oh well, makes my job that much easier. there's been talk of switching over to a weekend schedule. sounds good to me. i'll still get the overtime earnings of my job and i'll get home 2 hours earlier. and THAT is my corona plan.

Good to hear from y'all on this.

My 85 year old Mom flew down for a two week visit 10 days ago. She's going to be here longer than that, it looks like. IF she goes home I'll drive her. Not going anywhere near an airport.

My wife's work is gone thanks to the virus, so she's at home with my Mom. I'm still working -- we're a small construction business and I'm normally alone in the office all day anyway, so . . .

My paranoia level is high. Every time I sneeze or cough (pollen is high) I think OH SH*T. More than anything I don't want my Mom to get infected, much less my wife and me. This is crazy.

Gonna continue working until they shut the steel mill down. Got enough food, gas and supplies to hold us for a good long while. Garden is plowed, limed, tilled and rowed up, ready to plant. Hope to do some social distancing this week, I plan on going fishing. The rock, white perch and speckle perch are biting like crazy now in the Chowan river. Haven't had the boat out in over a year, Its way overdue for a day on the river. Got a 9 day shutdown starting March 29th so I need to get caught up on my long honey do list too. My V is full of gas and ready to go, might clean it up some if I get time. We had a family vacation planned for the last week in May at the Outer Banks but now they've shut down the beach, no entry unless you live there. Hoping I get my 4000.00 dollars back! I hope nobody catches the virus, sounds like a nasty one! Yall take care of yourselves and your families.

Most all familes have a Corona impact situation...….large or small.
No joke this thing so if lucky unscathed..

Fishing on hold pending several issues, but continuing to work on boat related.
Could miss the entire season, no way to know yet.

Too far from the water to just " hop on the boat" and go.
Good luck to all
