I just noticed that the days are getting longer. It's 5:35pm(EST) and it's not dark yet.
December 21st I was saying: Whew, we made it. Daylight has been lasting two seconds or so longer every day since then. Makes sense that you'd start noticing around now. What a weird, relatively mild winter. I guess we might get a few more heavy snowfalls before Spring, but it seems we're almost there!

I ventured out today to my mother's place , walked both ways, no buses. In total about 7 kms/4miles. It felt good to get some fresh air and exercise.

I have a screened in porch. The temps were upper 60s so I enjoyed some time out there today while working from home. I ordered takeout (all that's available) from my favorite Mexican place today and made margaritas.

This was the least anxiety ridden day I've had in some time.

Fortunately I have a supply, but I keep my eye out for some whenever I am out. I haven't seen any except the individual rolls in the Whole Foods around the corner from me for $2 per roll. That's crazy.

:no: Despicable. A high end food store here got called out for charging $30 for a container of wipes. The store owner apologized and said it was a clerical error. Yeah, sure it was. :eyes: :mad:

Yeah, I think $2 is probably standard for their generic single rolls. :noclue:
Add a buck or two for the"organic" sustainably harvested, premium quality, 200% recycled roll....
:lol:

They're not called Whole Paycheck for nothing...ive left there before with a simple lunch box and drink and was $25 lighter for it....

"Freeway" was recently uploaded to Amazon Prime Video. I saw this one more than 10 years ago. Reese was so young...

Pine Pallets and scrap rebar.

FREE stock materials.

Time on my hands.

THere's potential for 20 more where this came from!

Have 6 plates to work with now.

Also, Creep will appreciate this. Two days ago I was cruising around industrial PDX and saw a Packing & Crater business had discarded a GIGANTIC 2x wood framed box to protect whatever mechanical equipment inside the box. Anyways, spend an hour and a half and dissasembled the whole thing and came away with (42) 2x4s at 10' lengths. Almost clean, just a couple nails left to pull (42!!!) :tiphat:
FREE and clear. Maybe it makes more sense to spend $200 and pick them up at Home Depot......but this was more fun and I have time on my hands....

Wow! You really did hit the jackpot! I looked into delivery at a couple of places here but it is so backed up. I would receive an order in about 2 weeks and no guarantee all my requested items woule be available. This morning I went to a large supermarket near my place to shop and it was pretty good. The line up when I got there looked intimidating but it was very organized and efficient. They had security guards monitoring the number of people going in an out, shopping carts were available only outside with a couple of people wiping down the handles after each return. Of course, the line had markings to maintain the proper 2 metre distance apart. Once inside there were a couple of stations with multiple hand sanitizer dispensers. I had my list, got my items, joined a line to pay that was very well organized as well, a person would direct you to a cashier. All in a ll, very smooth. I didn't wear a mask but I sanitized my hands on the way out and washed my hands as soon as I got home along with wiping down the groceries, washed my hands again.
