Try to check in occasionally.

Fun fact (or maybe not so fun): Sales of alcohol have almost doubled. And liquor stores say that they are selling out of Everclear. For those who don't know, Everclear is grain alcohol sold in proofs of 120, 151, 189, and 190. It's being used as hand sanitizer. I would recommend the 189 or 190 proof since that would be about 95% alcohol. Vodka normally won't do since its alcohol content is 40% or so although there are some vodkas with alcohol content as high as grain alcohol.

Now you know.

Wash your hands. And get off of my lawn.

Spent more time in the past 5 months couped up than I can ever remember....Hurt my back pretty bad the 6th of Nov. and that put me on the DL for 5 weeks and by then it was bad weather, Christmas season....raining every 2 days for the next 3 months. At least back then it was still football going on.....I finally got back on the golf course in Feb for a few rounds then the end part of Feb. I fell in my driveway and went down faster than if I'd been shot with a deer rifle. Sprained my wrist really bad and hurt my shoulder....About the time I got over that then this national emergency happened. Now only get out when I'm low on stuff and then I buy stuff I'd normally never buy just to have food in the house.

My son and family lives in Northern Virginia and he told me last week they were closing the liquor stores up there and he ran out and stocked up for 6 months....They have also cancelled school the rest of the year there too.

Dang, take care of yourself. I always tell people, "I'm too old to fall down".  I have 140 bottles of wine, a bottle of rum, a bottle of single malt scotch and a bottle of Limoncello.

Sounds like you are well stocked on wine....My son in Virginia has a stocked bar at home that most business bars would love to have. I laughed last week when he told me he had to run out before they closed the stores and stock up more. Good thing about being a beer drinker like me, all the stores here are well stocked.

Beer is....barley...wheat...water. Can a person live on that?

Ummm I have enough bourbon and other distilled spirits that I have a good 30 day supply.  If they close the stores then the people will riot so the city of Knoxville deemed them "required businesses"

Yes
Once deployed to the middle of BF Eastern Africa (I won't name the Country but a few years later they shot a blackhawk down there)
Going in we stopped at Clark to fix the bird and I stocked up on beer
The guys say I couldn't drink beer and work - said watch me
Only real difference is I had spam, cheese and crackers for my Thanksgiving meal.

Can you make spam into a gourmet meal?

Like I posted above this has caused me to buy things I'd never usually buy/eat at this point in life.....This morning I stopped at Krogers about 7:45 because there was less cars in the parking lot at that time I've seen in almost 2 weeks....Shopping for me now is grab and go and get the heck out of there....I bought cans of Chef Boyardee and cans of Vienna Sausage.....Bet I haven't had either in 40 years. Here, other than toilet paper and hand sanitizer the other item that is almost impossible to get is fresh meats....They did have some frozen chicken and frozen beef patties. Lucky I got there before that was all gone.

Still good here.  I haven't been out except to do grocery pickup since my surgery.  See oncologist next Tues., so will know then when treatments start...not looking forward to that.

You could use some variety in your booze

Was told I'm to work from home until further notice.  Wife is seizing the opportunity with the honey-do list!

Yes you can.  You basically take some cold steamed rice and add in some really good umami (soy sauce) and create fried rice with the addition of some fresh peas and carrots and other vegetables and add in a scrambled egg, then you fry off a piece of spam.  Now take a serving of the fried rice and put this in a bowl and add the fried spam and a poached egg on top and drizzle a little extra soy sauce on this and add in some cilantro and this is a great dish.

We've pretty much done this in past years and it's good. I grew up in a era that Spam was a thing and had it quit often. It was good for breakfast growing up just fried in a skillet. We also had those canned hams back then....The one where the ham was canned with all that jelly like stuff. I guess they still have that?
