Yard is too wet to mow.
Working the part time gig, but decreased hours by maybe 80%
The FFL gig is taking up a fair amount of time
Hiking.
That's about it.

Finishing those 98% completed projects some of which have been sitting around for five years. Gunsmithing, replacing subpar parts, mounting scopes, sorting parts. It’s been too crappy to hike most days.

Chores, yard work ( when weather permits) and reloading ( good thing I'm well stocked on components).
Haven't gone to the range lately because of the weather.

Making another ship model, HMS Warspite this time. Wife doing jigsaw puzzles. Walking, gardening, some surfcasting.

Reloading. I had a ton of components lying around.

Have finished over 1000 rounds each of 308 and 30-06. 223 is up next. Then on to bullet casting.

I do not know exactly. I just seem to be busy as I am all over the place (much like my late father was after he retired and his outside activities took over). I am a 12 year volunteer with one of our government agencies and was activated in March. I am now on alternating days since March. In addition, charitable groups I work with have been having Zoom meetings all the time no to mention the constant stream of emails and Facebook Messenger nonsense. Add to that I do software development and am able to do that anywhere my Mac can get a WiFi signal so my employer still has little projects for me. One of the big reasons I want this "shutdown" to end is so I can actually get a break and get some more "me time"

Working full time and then some, just like before the 'rona.

I did finally get my bike road-ready for the season. Then, of course, temps drop way back down immediately after.

I layered up and went out for a ride the other day, anyway. It was then that I remembered that I'm a fairweather rider, so I came home.

Absolutely nothing besides ARF and the idiot box as my leg will be in a soft cast for weeks.

Retiring next Wednesday and moving on to full-time farming. Tons of house project to do too. Gotta also finish building the boat engine.

I bought a Kentucky rifle kit to put together.

Posted: 5/14/2020 9:11:52 PM EDT

[#17]

Work, home improvement stuff, wrenching on my bikes(vs. actually riding them) etc...

Seems we're not going to be back until atleast August so might as well make the most of it.

I was making measurements to final trim a large L shaped piece of Corian countertop. I leaned over it and put the slightest pressure on it and CRACK!! the sucker split in two directions. Wife now has a new countertop albeit only temporarily and with a large crack.

If you want company on your hikes say something ahead of time and I'm sure that some of the local guys will meet up with you

No shit, my wife has been doing most of the school stuff-I suck at getting them to do it, but if I'm home, breakfast, lunch, snacks, an hour or two outside and school work takes me past 3pm every day; plus I still have my actual real work to do.

I am going to Ithaca on Saturday if anyone wants to hike. I look to hike between 8 and 15 miles in a day. Driving down and back from Buffalo in one day.

ETA: Probably Robert H Treman State Park.

I'm assuming that you're planning on doing part of the FLT if you're cranking out those kinds of miles?
I'd avoid RHT on a weekend. Too many people on that part of the FLT on weekends. The actual park trails around the falls will likely be even more of a nightmare

What I have found is parks aren’t bust until after lunch. My MO has been arrive before 9am, hit the trail, hike until I get tired, eat lunch, go back. Once back to civilization and the crowds, I’m ready to go home.

Hiked 9.5 miles at Robert H Treman, did the rim gorge loop, then back down the FLT, and back the rim.

Went to Buttermilk next, rangers wouldn’t let anyone in, too full. She said go to Taughannock, went there and did another 5.5 miles.
