Heads up! My local ABC store no longer allows people inside except to pay. You need to know what you want so the employee at the door can have it pulled and packed for you while you stand outside the door. This might be bad news if your local store doesn't have shade or an awning (for rain).
My boy cat loves the fact i'm home... belly rubs all day long or at least he thinks that's what i'm here for.
Our smaller female is happy that I take work breaks in the back yard so she can come stare at me and sun herself 10 feet away.
Our lager female is the cat in the picture.
FINALLY, SC is locked down.
I feel like I am 17again, gas is cheap and I am grounded!

Speaking of masks, it's relatively easy to make your own if you have a sewing machine and some fabric. We picked up some fabric yesterday and knocked out a few, hope to get better and make them to donate:

Did they have the elastic? My wife has a production of over 100 but can't find the elastic anywhere.Speaking of masks, it's relatively easy to make your own if you have a sewing machine and some fabric.

She has done lots of them, but the feedback was the tie down ones (no elastic) are difficult to keep on. All we need is a couple of inches of elastic per and would help a lot.
Number 10 was actually at my local Safeway about 3 weeks ago.
use a piece material, twine, string or a shoe lace and then a rubber band to cinch up the slack to hold it in place.
or just duct tape a couple layers of cloth to an old Halloween mask and call it good.

I’ve heard that medical folks prefer the tie straps to the elastic bands when they wear the masks as an outer layer over their N95’s. Not first hand info, tho.
I spent about 2 hours watching YT vids about this yesterday AM!
Today I watched and read an hour of stuff saying that masks only prevent YOUR germs from spreading, doing nothing to prevent incoming viruses. This is why I’d rather just stay home.

I was cleaning out my garage and found 4 basic unused painting masks. It was like I found gold.

You can use the elastic out of old fitted sheets for the masks as well.
