From what I saw on Snapchat it’s packed. No social distancing whatsoever.
What did you accomplish today?

Maybe a solar flare that knocks out the power grid for a year or two...The rona also hates UV so outdoor activities should be relatively safe.
I get the feeling that Fall/winter could be super sucky -- and there's no way they can keep the economy shut down.
Time to get the ol' immune system into shape because it's gonna get extra fucky in a few months.
This would be the worst timing ever for a natural disaster like an earthquake or volcano...

I went for a drive yesterday. I was cruising the canyons, and took one that leads to the ocean. There was traffic stopped at least 5 or 6 miles from the actual ocean. Like....bumper to bumper stopped. It was insanity. Turned around right away, since I had no intention to actually go to the beach. But those people were looking at like 2 hours in traffic to get the remaining 5 miles at the rate they were going.
Is it evil to wish for a tsunami? Just a little one...

I gotta admit I'm super jealous. I would love to go to the beach or hang out and have drinks and a barbecue with friends. It's going to get harder to resist as the summer wears on and everyone starts gathering together again. I know several of my single friends are already doing it.

I’m antisocial. I like the beach but without people lol. All my friends are mostly dead or in prison.

I think I'll go get fixins for dinner early before it warms up anymore. I'll slice up some leftover tri tip for sandwiches on sourdough rolls with home made potato salad and have my son doctor up some beans also. I started the tri tip on the smoker and finished it on the gas grill, nice smoke ring on it.

Same here, as usual. It went from the high 50's one day to high 80's and humid the very next day and is staying there. Summer comes like a quick punch to the face...
we still had the furnace on last week, no transition into summer this year.

I'm sorry. That's tough... I never know what to say about death.
Have you had a chance to get out on your bike and enjoy the warm weather yet? I've been out three times on trails I didn't know, I'm always nervous about bombing down unknown trails. All the parks are open now so we're planning on hitting up some familiar ones this weekend and getting crazy.

I've been doing a LOT of bike and scooter riding over the last couple of weeks. My boy is still staying at his mom's resale shop in the suburbs, and I found a previously unknown bike path near me that runs almost right to the shop's front door, so I've been visiting him a lot. The path is built on an old railroad line through the forest preserves, and is tree-lined, shady, and cool. What a find! A few a my weed clients are out that way, too, so I've been volunteering to make scooter deliveries to them. High 80's and humid is usually too hot for me to ride my bike, but is SO nice on my scooter! The breeze the scooter creates on me, plus the fact that I don't have to exert myself makes it the ideal summer transportation. It's a total attention getter as it is such a rare vehicle, it must be odd to see a standing person flying by silently at 30+ mph. A hospital worker inquired about it and offered to buy it on the spot for $1500 (I paid only a grand for it directly from China), and I refused. I countered at $2000 and he refused. I didn't want to sell it at that price, either, as it took about 5 weeks for it to be delivered. In fact, I just bought another of the same scooter as a back up, and to have friends and my son be able to ride along with me, should be here mid July...

Lol, just posted about that. Good to hear you'll be getting back out there. I've been revisiting other paths only to discover that they have been totally revamped! This city is putting millions into extending and upgrading many bike paths, I've been loving it. I'll try to take some pics and vids of the cooler parts of these paths. My fav futuristic bike path, the 606, is still covid-closed, but all the rest are open. Strange...

Built this clothes rack, this afternoon, out of scrap in my garage. The first time she asked was only a week ago. Am I screwed? I once took 5 years to build a deck start to finish.
I feel like she may start expecting more of me. Btw this is pretty much the limit of my carpentry skillz.

Is that the one you posted last year with the arches on the bridge? I think we're going to hit up horseshoe resort by my parents place. It's supposed to be a lot cooler next weekend so it shouldn't be too hot to wear a full face helmet. I like blue mountain trails in Collingwood better but their chair lifts are still closed with no open date posted
Bike Park Safety Protocol - Horseshoe Resort - Barrie Ontario

You live and then die. Life wasn’t meant to be fair. I used to get sad about my dead homies until I had my own son pass away. Now I could give a fuck who dies unless it’s my family. My sister told me our friend(her ex bf) jumped off a building about a month ago andmy response was “that was stupid. Why would he do that?” LolI'm sorry. That's tough... I never know what to say about death.
