had to hit Brooks for groceries and supplies this morning, I think between W@llyworld Crappy Tire and the Coop I maybe saw 20 shoppers. pretty easy to keep your distance. lots of groceries but short a few things like white suger and anything but spaghetti dry pasta. all tastes the same. no jars of sauce either. Coop is shut down tomorrow peoplewise my song? Closer! https://youtu.be/ccY25Cb3im0

Stay safe and calm where possible…I have even forgot about pro sports , ice fishing tomorrow for some real isolation
Ain't that the truth. My cousin and her 3 year old are self isolating, her kid's screen time is up like 1000% and eating chocolate pudding for breakfast. Meanwhile our friend and her 3 year old are baking, reading, counting, basically nothing that involves a screen.

Snap out of it, Kurt! If anyone knows the gps coordinates of Kurt's cabin please call an ambulance. Kurt if you can read this, please hang on. Your wife doesn't really need you, cuz your life insurance is likely topped up, but the boys still do. AO, this post says that Kurt is in a bad way and needs immediate medical assistance LOL

PS: PM or text me the RR and TWSHP #s of that field. Judging by your last post you may not have the chance to ever hunt it!

Both wife and myself have pre-existing medical conditions for an easy target for the virus. We have been isolating for two weeks now with only me going in for mail and a few needed food items, no more than one hour in town.
I can see a tank of gas lasting a long time, might be able to sell carbon credits. We are fortunate to still be on the farm even though I had entertained thoughts in past years to sell and go full time RV’ing, or retire in Ecuador or Peru (seems stupid now, yes). We have six big goofy dogs to entertain us and lots of space for walks. I have a list of vehicle and equipment repairs I can do, or nail 2x4’s and plywood together, in between watching some old westerns. Really clears the mind getting out into the sunshine and outdoors. For real excitement I take a white knuckle, death defying ride on the ‘ol 66 Snow Cruiser. A moose has taken up residence in a bush next to our yard and occasionally comes to visit our (fenced in) dogs at night, he’s probably looking for a safe place. Hopefully warm weather appears soon. Unless a vaccine shows up soon, we are mentally preparing for a long isolation period plus the aftermath of economic disruptions. One day at a time.
At this point I am glad Kenney and his team are in charge and a plus into bringing Harper on board.

I was just reading a couple pages back about the virus getting into your home through the fresh air intake. I think the chances are very slim like noted but it is still possible and especially if you have an in line humidifier like I do. The intake for the humidifier is before the furnace filter allowing junk to get in. What if your neighbor or someone walking a dog and sneezes just the right way. They are saying when an infected person sneezes those particles in the vapour can live for three hours.

I don’t think my thought here was a doomsday scenario as per sns request but who really wants to risk the odds? Especially if you live on a corner with heavy foot traffic. I closed mine up anyways...

A couple days ago the feds still didn't have rules in place for screening flight passengers coming in from other countries, and the Roxham Rd. border crossing is still letting people walk over from the States claiming "refugee status"... The Whitehouse had to contact Trudeau a while ago to take care of the Canadians on one of the U.S. cruise ships.

Provincially we had screening put into place when Kenney observed no checks in an international airport.

I seriously doubt I'll ever be impressed by his dithering, and stammering over simple controls. I offer another song that addresses our situation in a way.

Saskatchewan alert came on my phone

Manditory self-isolation mandatory for all travelers
Police will now have the power to enforce public health and emergency orders to control the spread of COVID-19, including through arrests and heavy fines, as Premier Scott Moe turns “the full weight of the law” against the pandemic.

Effective immediately, all persons that have traveled internationally must go into mandatory self-isolation for 14 days from date of arrival back into Canada including those returning from the USA.

How you feeling bloop. Hope it’s better. I spent my day in isolation on long lake. Great to get away from all the crap. I just turned the news on and it’s all bad. Lol. Should of stayed there. It was so peaceful
