How is everyone doing? (2 Viewers)

Obviously these are strange days.

How is everyone doing? Is your life impacted by the COVID-19? Are your daily routines changing? Hopefully not, but have you lost someone? Is your business or workplace affected?

Just checking in. Work is still going, but I am working from home. Just finished week 3, there are pluses and minuses I guess.

Hope you all are well.

Glad you are ok. Wife and I flew into Tampa from Riyadh on March 8 for some meetings followed by a couple of weeks of vacation. Now I’m working from here until the flights open back up. We have a condo in Gulf Shores so at least we have a place to stay. It’s actually been a nice break for us. We’ve spent time with the family and I’ve been able to tinker with the pig and my 80 that I just got back from our youngest. I’m guessing we will be here until at least early May.

 

[PabloCruise]

Wow, glad you made it back to the States! (I think?)

You have the Pig and the 80 in Tampa? Cool!

No the meetings were in Tampa. Gulf Shores is in LA.....as in lower Alabama. We are on the beach; which is closed. But at least we can listen to the waves and stare at the ocean.

edit: We would have no problem being stuck in Riyadh either as we feel pretty safe there and KSA has had very few cases. All in all though I’m glad circumstances worked out with us here. Again, it’s been a nice break.

 

[PabloCruise]

Ah, sorry, I thought you made it as far as Tampa.

Being on the beach sounds pretty nice, all things considered.

This virus is being hyped. It's being hyped just like winter snow storms and mediocre hurricanes are hyped. And when it comes to hype, no one is as notorious as MSM.

That's how it is effecting me.

We are doing ok. As a RE broker, I’ve been able to work from home but it is definitely slowing down the market for us in Phoenix. With the kiddos out of school we’ve been taking some camping trips with the kids. Just trying to keep them busy and keep mama from going insane. Luckily everyone is healthy so we hope that continues.

Different times for sure. Not much different for us, a couple of retired folks who like to stay home.

Working from home most days, we are down to about 1/3 our staff but still servicing clients.

All our campgrounds are closed and they have repeatedly asked people not to travel unless urgent so only headed out for groceries or when I need stuff from office.

It’s going to be an odd summer for sure, just hoping the parents don’t get this thing.

Same for me here! Been like this for 5 years So!!

Normally this beach would have at least a few people. Kinda errie in a post apocalyptic way....but definitely peaceful.

Only worries we have here is my Dad being locked down at the vet's. home for 3 weeks now. I haven't seen and can't talk to him over the phone (can't hear good). His birthday is coming up in May, he'll be 99 and we can't go in. The home had a resident come down with the virus, but so far no more cases. I wish this was just hype, wouldn't have to worry about seeing him again.

Can you use someone there as a contact?? An employee??

Yeah, I call the desk in his ward every day to check on him, but you know how that goes.

They said "stay at home" so I went snow wheeling in the yard:

Showed the boy how to do spring maintenance on the push mower this morning, it’s a 20 year old Craftsman but getting a soft deck so it’s days are numbered, it’s already time to cut the lawn here!

 

[bobm]

Craftsman! Lifetime warranty! My father loved Sears! Only bought 1 snow shovel in his life when it broke he brought it back to Sears and they gave him a new one Free everytime

 

[bobm]

He never shoveled though! Had 4 boys for that and 4 girls for other chores. Great guy, miss him.

 

[scrapdaddy]

He was the delegater. We were the delegatees.

Well that explains a lot. You two are brothers!
