 I know it's bad stuff. I admit I did not take it very seriously at first but it didn't take long to wise up some. Now I try to keep my distance from everyone and stay away from more populated places all together 

It spreads like crazy but I am not sure how I define "bad" yet.  if %15 of the population has it then the death rate is low however it is still a lot of people.  

 

 

dunno thinking out loud.

 

 

It seems to me they are trying to put blame on 19 even though someone might of been on last leg anyway and anything else would have finished them, like eating too much ice cream, see where I'm going with this... they are blowing it out of proportion. I fear new laws that are coming more then this cold.

 You could be right @Dieselfuture, I to am a little concerned about how quickly they are changing some laws and making new ones in other cases. Some are for the better. Ohio for instance has no laws against price gouging but they are working on one as we speak. That one could be a good thing. I'm sure there are others that aren't.

The sheriff of L A county band the sale of guns and ammo in his county.  That band got shot down real quick by the court.

 That would not go over well here either. 

 Like the song says "Better bring yours if you come to take mine"

Those are eight 50w solar panel on a solid frame. Facing south and about 45* up. By summer the sun is 90* above us and during the winter the sun arc is very low in the south about 4 hours of light.

 

Then the other thing I did yesterday is going to save us 50 a month by loading up my BigTex trailer and truck bed with the last of Eileen's stuff from storage. Got home just in time last night before today's rain storm. I'll be unloading the trailer and the truck at some point today.

A good article that sent chills down my spine.

 

I went to shoprite the other day, store shelves are still empty here.

Everything here is back to normal for the most part... Stores are fully restocked.  Price of Gasoline in Boise is 1.999 a gallon but diesel still lingers at 2.659 roughly. The stay at home order has been extended to April 30th for Idaho. 

 

The biggest thing I still fight with is going to the city and needing a bathroom still hitting locked doors, no public restroom usage, etc. Like my last trip to Boise to drop off Eileen's Grandson back to his parents, I was hunting for a restroom just to pee, had to pick a side street and pee behind a tree in a industrial area. Stupid laws and really becoming tough for people that travel.

 

Still hearing strange laws of cops turning people around at state line to go home. Never seen it yet with crossing into Washington or Oregon yet. Even heard of the local cops in McCall, ID turning people away because there plate are not Idaho, Valley county. Never seen it yet either.

 

Other than that the weather here has been cold and nearly snowing. Dipping into the 20's every night and warming up barely to mid 50's. Get down to Lewiston or Boise its more like 60's and 70's for day time weather which is nice. 

Seen a video on YouTube where bunch of random people went to different hospitals after news said they were packed and they were all pretty empty, it looked like less than normal empty. Not sure what to think of that. Other than someone is lying.

The hotter the area is with the virus you could see some packed hospitals. It is not like that everywhere for sure. I dont beleive we are being lied too about it all. Kind of depends on where you are.

 

Good video...

 

I'm still kind of upset about how all this corona virus (COVID-19) is being handled. Still having issues finding pulbic restrooms and places to wash your hands when out in public. Trying to just go shopping and waste an 15 to 30 minutes waiting in lines to just enter the stores. Washington and Oregon both are now letting only limited count of people enter stores. This makes a long day after driving 3 hours to the city and then having to wait in more lines. 

 

Me personally I've called my best friend @Taz and his girl friend and had them come out yesterday and help me move furniture and junk out of the house. Threw out Mom's 35 year old couch, and old cabinet I used for computer stuff. Been working hard at cleaning up the house and getting things in a functional state while the corona virus runs. All the stuff of Mom's that I will be up for sale is being moved to the Guest house for now till Corona Virus finishes. Eileen has been up and working as much as she can. 

 

My current project working on a carb...

Apparently oil is in negative per barrel, this will be interesting 

Yeah I just looked at that... Wow!

That was my exact face 

Negative per bbl is quite shocking. 
 

 

@Mopar1973Man Idaho stores are also limiting the number of people in the store and on each isle. It’s due to people not adhering to the simple 6’ distance. I’ve never liked people that close so it isn’t a big deal. When people are smarter there isn’t any limiting. 
 

Don’t try to go to Home Depot or Lowe’s for sprinkler parts right now. I’ve heard up to 50 people on one isle. That’s insane even without all this going on. Herd mentality.
