Everybody OK?

[ScoutB]

I hope you guys and your families are healthy. I'm doing fine over here, working every day from home and plodding onward with my garage addition. In spite of the lockdown I've been able to get deliveries from Menards and my local gravel pit, so now I've got the materials needed to build a retaining wall as well. I won't run out of things to do unless this goes on for several months.
I'm in the camp that says our governor has gone way too far with the restrictions. If the demonstration in Lansing was on a weekend day I would have been there too with my boat in tow. I live in the boonies, away from the hot spots that are driving these restrictions. The motorized boat ban was to break up the crowds at the launch ramps, but I'm in violation of the order if I use the pontoon boat in my own back yard. My son is a painter and has jobs lined up in buildings that are currently empty but is not allowed to go. Why can't landscapers work for heavens sake?
I think if the lockdown is extended there will either be another big protest (I'll go this time) or people will just start to ignore it. I can tell you that I will be on my boat whenever it suits me, and it will suit me a lot more in May. I assume you guys are finding a way to sneak in some fishing as well. Stay safe out there.

No fishing here..ive been tying jigs and making sinkers.olady still working as she’s essential ..at a damn nut and bolt shop as they are used for medical equipment.what a line of bull but im in the stepping over the boundaries deal but be responsible about it.getting a protest with everyone in a big group with no mask doesnt make sense.fuel for the virus to spread.i think we could open back up slowly but i wont make it thru if i catch covid19 as i have asthma,diabetes and sh1t immune system so i been following the order as long as it doesn’t get extended again.

Yeah, if I go I'll stay in my car.

All good over here in the east. Wife teaching online, I'm still on the road. I hear you Scout, the ban is ridiculous for how it was blanketed across the entire state. I violated the order last Saturday and Sunday as my son and I spent time on our lake chain fishing both days. I think this stuff is gonna be around for a while and the policies put into place for disease Control will be the new normal. So strange how so much of it also can fall in line with a green agenda....ok I'll put the tinfoil hat back on the rack. Good night stay safe.
