how are you handling home confinement

[nightfighter]

Since we are all cooking (and getting larger) at home, may I suggest you look at some Premium Brachia Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Croatia brought in by our friend Zeno at adriaticgourmet.com It is really good. I was instructed to reorder, this time the 750ml size as we can go through the 250 ml pretty quickly...

[Zeno]

haha, that's great. I think you got next to last 750ML bottle in stock till this winter. It is what it is....first time on unemployment in 32 years. Passing time cooking and getting bigger. ..eh could be a lot worst. The risaa cancelation hurt from the standpoint of seeing a lot of friends

Ross, it is absolutely the best olive oil there is. Just got 2, 500ml bottles. I went thru 4 250s in no time. No 750ML left.

Just started it yesterday. Still considered essential, but they just gave us two weeks of free sick leave, dr's note required, but basically carte blanche.. We were waiting as long as we could, but seems like the time is right. We can take some of our own time after that, and can maybe afford a little lwop if we have to. I am as worried about the aftermath as anyone, but if you don't survive first what's the point? Stay safe everyone..

I'm kinda in isolation in my house. Only time I've been out in a month is to visit a friend who is also in voluntary isolation. My niece has been doing my food shopping for me. I could use some more booze, maybe I'll do the curbside thing next time I go out. Meanwhile, Gina won't let me cross the border to get to my boat! The boatyard is open but I can't get there!

Can you get someone from Rhode Island to drag it across the border for you? That might be a work around.

I've been working from home....my son drops in a couple of times a week for some short hikes.
This is the remains of an old girl scout camp.....up in the woods behind my house. Looks like the fireplace is still in use.
I held on to a dead tree while trying to cross a stream......tree broke and i fell into the water. I asked him why he didnt get a picture.

I’ve always enjoyed avoiding people 😬
Been laying real low, like snake’s belly in a wagon rut low.
Did manage 2 quick hits at a nearby pond, and found superb fishing. Lot’s of high quality trout. I just hope the ponds can support the amount of fish put in them...we’ll see.

I wonder if they're closing the GI bridge to fishing, with squid around the corner, the NY/CT/MA guys are out. That will give RI'ers the entire bridge... even if it's just 5 guys at a time , (with the others waiting in their cars for the rotation of course). I'm sure you'll see a police presence there...

Curious to hear how that's going to play out.
Are boat ramps closed in RI? Even those not in State parks?

No. Will still be mobbed.

Even though we had three days of decent weather, I used two to get some sealer on all the carvings I had done and a bench I'm refinishing, but yesterday I finally got back out on the water. It was a beautiful day, the eagles were flying on occasion, the big pickeral were everywhere and with water temperatures finally climbing into the low fifties, a couple nice smallies decided to come shallow to feed. Near the end of the day a pickeral took a hair jig deep and wasn't going to make it, so I gave him a chuck suspecting the eagle sitting on top of a pine a couple hundred yards away might take interest. Once I moved to a distance he felt safe coming down for dinner, I got a good look with the binoculars as he took the pickeral back to the nest.

ps to John: I've asked before and haven't got the answer. I post first uploading this picture and didn't preview and notice on posting the picture is upside down. I go back, open the picture in paint, rotate (even though it looks fine) 90 degrees twice to correct, delete original, upload again even though it's now upside down and it posts upside down. I delete pic, open in paint rotate back to the way it was originally, upload again and it's now perfect. So why does this happen?

[scottw]

that's a nice fish^^^!....got out on the paddle board yesterday...got to ride the current in the outflow, collect some conchs and watch a couple of oyster catcher pairs doing their thing....tog soon hopefully...thankful to have water so close

[Got Stripers]

Here are a couple pieces I finished off in self confinement over the past couple nice days.

ps to John: So I upload all three, preview, all three are on their side. I go to paint, rotate each to mirror that position, even though I know it's wrong, close a save. I open each again in paint, rotate back to vertical and the original, close and save, upload again here and they are upright as they were, am I the only one seeing this?

[PaulS]

I keep joking to friends I'm going to get a flobee.

Staying at home with cute 10 year old daughter. I’m 61; may be the only person actually enjoying this.Making each day with her count!

Getting a ton of stuff done.Lots of fly orders completed.More getting done daily.Folks dropping off rod blanks and rehabs to get done.Almost no time other than hunkered in the mancave with the CD player cranking disks I haven't listened to in years.The main problem is the queen doesn't have a hobby so she's kind of bugging me with the "what are we doing today".So I got her in the yard doing the clean up and now she's enjoying it.I do the dump runs of debris she rakes and cut up.

I've been "down the road" with buying a fly tying vise[tying],attempt at rod building,flycasting,fishing at night,etc.She will fish with a spinning rod but that only lasts a little while and can be dangerous.We battled over plants,shrubs,flowers,raking etc. So I said;You do it your way and I'll leave you alone.So I do the dump runs and provide "some" funding for plantings.
So far so good!

This fing weather pattern isn’t making this situation any easier, we get a cold sunny day, followed by a cold rainy day and no string of warm weather anywhere on the horizon.

I hope the mass golf course association is successful in petitioning Charlie Baker to allow courses to open, because it’s safer then what I see others doing for exercise. Our course had it down, no carts, no club house access, no flag pulling with raised cups.

Us also. We diagonally striped 14 fairways Thursday. The downside was it was as cold and windy as any day I have mowed. The upside is there are no golfers so we can really concentrate on keeping the long lines straight.

[Pete F.]

I did see an interesting way to deal with cups on a British you tube show.
They put the cups in upside down, makes them about an inch deep, you can leave the pin in and still pick your ball out without having to pull the pin.
You get the right sound and don't get trained to putt thru the break.

We are scheduled to open on May 5th if all goes well. I set up a net in the garage a couple days ago, so that's fun... and boring. And set up a putting station in the basement. Hmmm maybe I could hit a ball in the garage, chip through the door into the living room and bounce it off the couch , chip again through the basement door and then putt out...
That would drive my wife completely nuts...

I'd get thrown out of the house

[Got Stripers]

My shoulder and back won’t allow me to bang balls into a net, I just hope my game holds up, I was shooting some low to mid seventies rounds pretty frequently and was hoping for the first par round.

[hq2]

Yeah, you want to have as many safely distanced outdoor events open as possible; I mean people need to keep from going crazy. No reason you can’t have golf if done right. Maybe even open up some other stuff wherever you have open fields with good separation.
