what are you doing while under lockdown?

Putting up with Visible slow service due to more people at home. At night I am about 300 KB/sec but by 10 AM it is slowing down and by the afternoon it can be useless for video at 20 KB/sec. My dialup modem in the 1990's was about 70 KB/sec for comparison.

The news covers sars-cov-2 frequently; you might be better off not having video.

If you can, watch videos of (or about) Andy Kaufman (& Tony Clifton). He was a comic genius.

Cooking sap, about two gallons of maple syrup and almost a third. Also rebuilding and old truck camper. By fall I hope to be ready to hit the road for the winter. For now staying home... Minnesota has the stay at home order....my daughter is stuck with me for now. Haha. She’s a great help! We do putt around the lake to collect sap. But are pretty set at home.

Perfecting the Art of doing absolutely Nothing! Just as I have for the last 10 years! Don't get me wrong I have projects I do and get stuff done. But, doing nothing I've found to be a valuable skill! The real art of practicing this skill is keeping others from giving you something to do on their list because they dont quite know how to do nothing! The person that knows how to do nothing and is quite content with doing nothing can make that experience quite negative for the person trying to find busy work for them. I have to admit that's quite fun too!

How would you know that real men don't knit? Have you ever met one? lol

Photo of "real men" knitting.  It was something that was done as a cottage industry and by necessity by both men and women. Those are the "real men".

 

[B and C]

I can see doing it for income and out of necessity. I have seen some men that want to be women, they would probably enjoy it.

what are you doing while under lockdown?
I'm watching scenes from Dr. Strangelove.  Plan R and CRM114 and General Ripper and 1400 megatons and "the purity and essence of our natural fluids" and Slim Pickens were great.  However Peter Sellers made the movie.

Those who think real men don't knit don't remember the 6'5'' 300 lb Rosie Grier. He found it relaxing after a gruelling NFL game. If you think that Rosey was feminine - think again.

Yeah, like this well-known man who was famous for wanting to be female. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosey_Grier

The article doesn't mention them, but he knitted and crocheted as well.

 

[brahmon]

??????? 

The poster I was responding to said that a man who knits really wants to be female. I refuted that by pointing out that Rosey Grier, the picture of a he-man, enjoyed knitting as well as other fiber arts.

i’m getting very bored.   my friends are all self-quarantined and i can only surf the net and watch tv for so long.  

any ideas would be helpful.

Recoated the roof on the rv.  Cleaned/prepped pool and deck for later.  Will wash/wax motorcycles and boat if it ever stops raining.  Trying to get up the motivation to paint the house.  Working on it.  Been binge watching Dexter with the wife.  Love that show...
