    I did not see anything wrong or offensive in your replies anywhere on this thread; you're OK!

    Dennis we have met and are friends, are you opinionated, hell yeah, and don’t change! But nothing you said would have offended me. I think @ wishlist was just trying to protect his loved ones and rightfully so!

    Yes I am running a business I am fully aware of the consequences. And I clearly said I feel many can go back to work. But we can't just go back to normal.

    Businesses started closing day 1. All those places on the line already are gone, many that were floating but getting tired are now sinking. Places that were treading water are getting tired. Only certain things are making out good in this. Thankfully it’s starting to turn a bit on the business side.

    I used hot dog chunks to lure out a wild kitten , then I grabbed that little bugger and what did he do?
    He proceeded to shred my hand in about 2 and a half seconds. :hair::startled:
    I would not want to tangle with a full size wild cat much less a bobcat.

    As a child, I caught a feral kitten and it reacted the same way. Turned out to be the nicest cat once it was tame! :whistle: (three fingers, two shredded forearms, one eye transplant and reconstructive surgery of chest, face, neck, and hair transplants later.....) :rofl: :lol:

    DAY 50

    Made a load of firewood this later morning. All maple once again. I think I'll pull one more trailer out of there and then start to look somewhere else. My back, neck, shoulder and wrists are flaring up now (wah, wah, wah) but I want to get as much as I can before those blood thirsty little bugs come out for good....which should be by the end of the week according to my estimates.

    I grabbed a gallon of paint and did some caulking on the fascia and window sill replacement repairs in preparation of go time with the brush.

    Hope to visit the cottage tomorrow morning but by Wed for sure. Starting Wed, rain for 4 days...……….. Shhh! Keep 99 from finding out about that!

    Well, the judge threw out the restraining order on the barber and he is still in business. I don't know how this will turn out in the end but although I admire his guts I really can't agree on his actions. It may have started out good but now it is worse than silly.

    It’s his though. And he’s not forcing anyone to come in.

    DAY 50 (again, since I counted wrong yesterday!)

    Not a damm thing today worth reporting. Too cold to paint. 99 had an engagement at around 11:30 that seemed to stretch out until 3:30. Finally got home and she asked about the cottage.....well, we wouldn't get there until after 4.... so we stayed put. I'll have a long day tomorrow at the cottage shaping it up once again. Hook up water, lower dock/boat lift/remove plastic from screen porch. Backwoods Savage is warning of a heat wave next week so I want to be able to sit in the screen porch!! :handshake: Work on chain saw/work on truck/work on yard also.

    I did manage to get her fish license as walleye opens on Fri.

    This only depicts where people are not staying home. Do not be misled into believing that it is a map showing an increase in covid cases.

    Kind of vague values attached to it. If I read it correctly, the darker colored areas show a -12% decrease of people staying home?

    Don't know where this came from but as far as accuracy and reliability, it leaves way too much that needs to be explained more clearly and the presentation itself is misleading.
