What are you doing?

Nibblin' on sponge cake
Watchin' the Gov make
All of the biz around me close down
Strummin' my six string ,as they do their thing
Smell those congressional clowns
Tempers beginning to boil

Wasted away again in quarantine again
Searchin' for my N95 mask
Some people claim that China’s to blame
But I know it falls to our task

Don't know the reason
worked all this season
With nothing to show but symptoms of flu
But it's a real beauty
A Corona cutie, how it caught it
I haven't a clue

Wasted away again in quarantine again
Searchin' for my essential pass
Some people claim that them Wuhans are to blame
Now I think, - what a pain in the ass

I love when they flip flop
and claim they’re all on top
just horde supplies and stay the f*ck home
But there’s relief to be rendered
Soon the Fed’s will see tendered
Their phony notes that helps me hang on

Wasted away again in quarantine again
Searchin' for my lost PPE
Some people claim that there’s a liberal to blame
But I know, it's our own damn fault
Yes, and some people claim it’s all some socialist game
And I know it's our own damn fault

starting my spring cleaning, will be repainting the bathroom, kitchen cabinets & a cabinet as soon as it gets a little warmer. been starting to get out on the trails in the state forest that my property abutts.
 
Whether you're in official lockdown or are home in self quarantine...……...what are you doing to pass the time??? Besides wasting it on message boards? Anything actually productive???

Hopefully we can share a few ideas to keep us busy, beyond our normal daily routine.

Here I've been trying to prep the garden as weather allows and/or get some seeds started, and now wondering if I should start my spring cleaning or some cooking projects.

Whatcha got goin on????
Working.
 
Getting gardens ready too. Ordered a small greenhouse to get a start on seeds, got to put fabric down, bark, 4x4 and 2x4 frame to screw to and stake to ground.

Reading alot too. 2-3 hrs a day.

Cooking, baking.

I've already planted some cold weather stuff, though I may have been a little early and may have to replant a lot of it. I hope not cause I hate to have wasted the seed. We'll see.

Yesterday & earlier today, have been canning and now I'm thinking of making some bread.

And somewhere in the mix been keeping an eye on and/or starting tomato & pepper seeds in the house......just little projects to fill the time.

I used to start all mine in flats on origami racks in a sunny window. Worked very well too but then had to acclimate them a couple days outside. Some would be a bit spindly or weak. Hoping the greenhouse does both, start and aclimate.

I used to make sourdough quite frequent. Had a starter way over 100 years old. I killed it :(
 
Now that we’re under a stay at home order, I’ve decided to take a couple of days off from work to do a little fishing and get the metal detector out. I’ll probably also fly the drone this weekend.

You can always start another starter........won't be quite the same but given time it should work

I'ma sittin' here a-thinkin'
A-wishin' there could be
You and me a-sittin' here
Instead of only me. <giggle>​
 
Sitting on the front porch in my rocking chair watching the traffic go by.....
Oh, darn it. I can't get on youtube today. Those words your post remind me of a song we did a routine to at half time, for our fightin' Mustang football team when I was a "Vaquera" at Aldine High School in the early sixties (the band was our music, but they did pop songs, too, just for us to entertain the home team.....)



Standin on the corner--The Four Lads

Standing on the corner watching all the girls go by
Standing on the corner watching all the girls go by
Brother you don't know a nicer occupation
Matter of fact, neither do I
Than standing on the corner watching all the girls
Watching all the girls, watching all the girls go by

I'm the cat that got the cream
Haven't got a girl but I can dream
Haven't got a girl but I can wish
So I'll take me down to Mainstreet
And that's where I select my imaginary dish

Standing on the corner watching all the girls go by
Standing on the corner giving all the girls the eye
Brother if you've got a rich imagination
Give it a whirl, give it a try
Try standing on the corner watching all the girls
Watching all the girls, watching all the girls go by

Saturday and I'm so broke
Haven't got a girl and no joke
Still I'm living like a millionaire
When I take me down to Mainstreet
When I take me down to Mainstreet
And I review the harem
Parading for me there

Standing on the corner
Watching all the girls go by
Standing on the corner
Underneath the springtime sky
Brother, you can't go to jail
For what you're thinking
Or for the woo look in your eye
You're only standing on the corner
Watching all the girls
Watching all the girls
Watching all the girls
Go by​
