transplantbillsfan Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) Honestly, my wife and I are largely introverts, so staying at home and keeping to ourselves is just natural. Evenings in the yard with booze and a book as my cats wander around. Always try to read a fiction and nonfiction book alternating as I get bored due to my ADD. And while Hawaii has a "shelter in place" order, essential activities like grocery shopping and exercise are allowed as long as Social Distancing (inevitably the "word of the year" for 2020) is maintained. Well, my exercise is surfing and even though they've closed beaches so it's a little more difficult to get to the water, you're still allowed to surf so long as you maintain that 6 feet. Surfed all by myself today. Social Distancing was easy. Trying to help the Kupuna and students who need to eat in the process. Thought I would really watch a lot of Netflix and Amazon Prime during this time, but I've been pretty busy. Part of the fortunate few and I'm extremely grateful for that. How many of you are literally quarantining yourselves to your house? Edited March 28, 2020 by transplantbillsfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think as the weather gets better for us poor schlubs in the northeast, we will hopefully be getting out more and less stir crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a couple I bought a while ago, and plan to get a couple more off the Xbox store. Do you have an Xbox one? Or is it the older 360?

LewPort71 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Bought Scrabble for our 7 year old grandson. THe scrabble junior version looked too young, so we got the regular version. He loved it. The board is on a "lazy Susan" so it can rotate on the table. Pretty cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The free beta version is a download that allows for online battle royale mode. Xbox has this deal going where you can convert an Xbox gold membership to Xbox ultimate for free (or $1). https://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/gold/upgrade You can convert up to 3 years worth of Xbox gold. You can only buy a 1 year subscription from the game store, so if you want to do all 3 years you have to buy 2 more 1yr subscriptions from amazon (you get an instant code, then just add both to your Xbox account). 1 year of Xbox gold is about 1/3 the price of 1 year of Xbox ultimate so it’s a good deal. Game pass has a bunch of games (at least 100-200 at any given time, with some big name titles (NBA 2020, Witcher 3, Grand Theft Auto 5 (best game ever!), they even have some of the PlayStation yakuza series up right now). I’m definitely enjoying it, and for what averages out to $4.99 a month it’s worth it for me, especially right now. You can only do that $1 deal once though. So if you want to do it and get the most for your money just make sure you add your Xbox gold subscription first. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritBill Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 My early morning walks have turned into early morning runs. Got up to 8k covered this morning through the deserted streets of my beautiful city. I’m determined to make some good out of this bad situation. Anybody have a PS4? My son does and I’m starting to play a few games on there to pass the time. FIFA 20, Madden 20 and The Golf Club 2019. I’m not very good at them. Especially FIFA and Madden but can be competitive on TGC. If anyone fancies a trans-Atlantic game give me a shout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I have no symptoms and did not travel to a country of concern. That being said, we decided that we’d self quarantine (no work, no stores, nothing) to be safe about the possible transmission of COVID19 in the event we may have it. so far we’ve used instacart for groceries, and have enjoyed the dogs, Netflix, a jigsaw puzzle, cleaning/organizing, etc. I can’t keep this up for 5 more weeks.

Wacka Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) A good friend of mine works in maintenance at St. Joe's hospital in Cheektowaga (converted to amCoV-ID19 facility last week). He's retiring May1. Already had it scheduled before all this. I think he's burning off his sick days and vacation.

BritBill Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I ran 12km this morning. Took me a bit longer than the 1 hour Boris has given us but what can you do? On a rather strange and disgusting note, I ran by some chancer ***** on someone’s driveway. We’re living in very strange times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the doc that teaches all the other docs in this part of the state to do the robotic surgery.He's fine now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone that loves a process and instructions to follow, it's bliss watch pre-flight and landing checklists. For anyone that likes their history, Oversimplified is a great YouTube channel. Especially if you've got kids at home for the time being. Accurate but humourous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I have Flight Aware loaded on my cell phone, just so I can look up at a plane flying overhead and learn details of the flight. With a lot of the commercial flights canceled, the app is now showing the smaller planes. Most don't file a flight plan (only airfield origin), and it seems many are flying inspection routes or logging hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
