wow someone with some common sense. Thanks for sharing Kevin.
We don't have any symptoms but we're not taking any chances. I have enough food in the house for about 2 months maybe more, so were good for that. Same with pets supplies. TP maybe not but where good for about a month I think, and by then they should be restocked at the stores and the hoarding will drop, I hope. Geese how much do you need. I saw where a lady in Australia thought she was ordering 48 rolls of TP and actually ordered 48 cases of 48 rolls. She said she now has enough for the next 12 years. We have no plans to being around anybody face to face for a while.
No real news here, may do some yard work today, or continue going thru things I want to sell and put them on the bay.
Otherwise samo samo here.

Snowing hard on the North Bluff,
We have not changed much because of the virus, we get supplies every two weeks and will still do so. They say Walmart is out of TP and other things but the DG and other small stores are fine. I hate Walmart so no problem for us. We are pretty much out in the sticks so life has not changed to much yet for us.

Kev, From The North Bluff Above Marseilles IL.
Morning folks!
It's PI day! 3.14159... and all that!
Cloudy and more rain for the day. High 60's on tap. Trees have budded out.
Anj - glad mom is doing better!
MikeC - well it is good the other person had insurance. Hope the damage is not too bad.
Regards, Roy
Mornin' boys. Partly sunny and 40 along the Patterson Creek cut-off. Went to Hobby Lobby and Michael's, picking up scenery items for the layout (love those coo-puns). Picked up the youngest princess from college, so the family truckster was crammed full for the return home. We dined at Outback in Martinsburg.
RR is weighing its options... I may have more time to finish my layout.
Good evening all,
Thanks for all the comments! Car will be fixed by other person's insurance so all good there. Totally devastated Indy car cancelled until May Real football cancelled until April as well. Hope everybody is enjoying the stock market roller coaster.....not. Down 2000 up 2000.....why? Did 13.1 miles today in 3:47:25 for a 3.45 MPH average. Not a great speed at all but at least I went the distance. Now that I have a "qualifying speed", I can work on "race day" setup. Nice weather today, not so good this weekend. Church "released" people from required Mass attendance, first time EVER in my memory they did that. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
All the schools grades K-12 in IL. will be closed from 3-17 to 3-30?? Guess we will be seening a lot of the grandkids. Guess I will need to set up some projects for us to do. One thing for sure, if they are here they will be in isolation from the virus.
Devil, I spoke to a buddy of mine last night who lives in Paramus. Talk about hysteria, he tried to go to the Shop-Rite in Rochelle Park and traffic was backed up for blocks with people trying to get in the parking lot! He only needed a few odd n' ends, but decided to forget about it.
Local supermarket here is cleaned out of the staples, i.e. bread and milk, but otherwise not too bad. This is nuts! I still think when this is over people are going to feel like fools.
Quick stop by - TGIF!!!Mom is better, I ran out for her breakfast. Still catching up on her zzzzzz's.The BF's Grandma has passed Wednesday Morning, spoke to the Princess, a Celebration of Life is Sunday and Jenni and I will attend. My sister will hang with Mom. At 67, she was very young.Company meeting last night, more politics and such.......home at 930 PM.That's all from here.......
Still think this is over-reaction and mass hysteria for no reason - I'll be living my normal life, thanks - and I would be classified in the "High Risk" catagory.
Rain and 50ish this morning now 55ish and sunny with breeze

Hunkered down till this virus thing blows over, im higher risk due to bad asthma, so I go to work(which is a virus incubator being a large factory) and back home again. Bought some more UK tinplate and spending time planning and running my trains in the safety of my home. Enjoy your weekend everybody. Its off to work in a little bit for me(2nd shifter).

Got the flash drive from Don today. All I can say is you had one heck of a nice trip!!!
Thanks for the pictures Don!! Sandra and I liked them all!
Nothing new here. A lot of schools are shuting down extra time for spring break for deep cleaning. Most of the stores around here are fine but when you head into the population areas it is nuts.
Bummer on the car Mike. Are they going to fix it or do you have to replace it?
Good Morning,
Mike, Talk about a bad day, that the pits! Hope today was much better!
Looks like Nascar is "postponing" the races for the next two weeks. Changed from no spectators, to no races. I agree Kev & Roy TV is the best vantage point. I did attend the Fontana race a couple of weeks ago, a friend offered me a free ticket and tailgate party. So couldn't refuse. Had a great time.
Been getting a good rainfall here past couple of days. Had to add water to the pool on Tuesday, then pump it out on Thursday. Should have waited.
Did get preliminary pass done on taxes, so time wasn't wasted.
Re: The virus, Amusement parks are closing as of tomorrow for two weeks, (incl D-land), issue going on regarding the Indian Casinos, state says close, they say they are exempt.
Take care all and have a great day!

Morning. 70 and rainy [not raining right now]. Errands. Goofing off.
Folks going crazy. Chair of County Commissioners is to declare a state of emergency [unless some idiot talks him out of it]. Frees up processes and helps with Federal assistance. We'll see. Schools moving up Spring Break to cover a couple of weeks. Then access. Wake Co., nothing yet. ? All this to help prevent spread.
Have a good one.

Raining here as predicted and 61... Rain for next 5-6 days...no sun...ugh.
MikeC - sorry about the car...
DonB - Kev - yep, NASCAR has been preparing for no spectators for years now...so easy decision for them to keep the races going on!
Got some things taken care of yesterday before the rains hit...took wife's car in for a recall, state inspection, oil change, and some minor service...went to the Dallas County Hazardous Chemicals collection center and dropped off a box of expired batteries, a box of expired CFL and LED bulbs (weren't they supposed to last for 5 yrs or more???), a couple of expired small electronics (they do not take dead smoke detectors???), and a very early CFL small flat screen TV that was unrepairable.
Disastrous couple of days. Escape got sideswiped on the way to Indy Wednesday. Drivable but d---! Took younger to St. Louis (in said sideswiped car) and she has to go back again in August for some more therapy on arm. Ugh. No spectators at St. Pete this weekend and Long Beach GP cancelled already. Who knows what will happen to events in May at Indy?????? Makes you wonder if you want to get up in the morning..... I hope everyone has a good day.
Quiet on The North Bluff Above Marseilles IL today. Hit 55 and I washed the John Deere XUV590i and worked in the shed. Wife is house cleaning. So I had to get out of there.
Don, the stands have been empty for years, a cost thing so let the race go on I only watch on TV anyway.
DougDG, yes, better to err on the side of safety!
As for me. I will hold and see how it all shakes out. All one has to do is look at the numbers of all of the past virus numbers and this one to see it may be very close or worse than Swine flu. SARS was short and nothing looking at other outbreaks.
Don't know what the hell happened, clicked "post reply" and poof. Gone, updated a blank screen.
We've canceled March and April Kids Club events, as crowded as it gets with kids and parents figured ti better to err on the side of safety. Not too worried about the munchkins, least effected, but more about us old farts and all our medical conditions.

I'm back again,
How quick things change in a day! I too am stunned with all activities/panic going on! It unbelievable, getting tons of email regarding all the activities being cancelled just in case we were planning on participating. With all the prof sports being rescheduled or without spectators, I was curious about Nascar. The venue this week is Atlanta, and a huge track like will look a little more unusual than normal with NO spectators in the stands. (Announced earlier today.) This sure has far reaching affects!! Schools, theatres, churches, on and on!
Sure hope all the hysteria doesn't last for a long time!
Take care all!
Grits tried them with butter,bacon,maple syrup, cant stand them
Banks Flintlock76 This is getting ridiculous. I don't remember this kind of panic over swine flu, SARS, or any other kind of "Disease Of The Year." What kind of country is this turning into? One with the media trying to hang it on the president

And it ain't gonna work Banks, trust me. Wait until all this has passed and people realize all the "emergency" measures were nothing more than an over-reaction; school closings, sports events cancellations, (Season ticket holders must be fuming!) National Guard call-outs, incitements to panic buying, loss of business, you name it. Guess who it's going to rebound on?
And now they're going to close schools here in Virginia for two weeks. I'm sure moms and dads are going to be just thrilled over that. So will the kids, especially when they find out they'll be in school until July.
You know, I was out and about today and it's a strange thing but I didn't trip over any bodies in any parking lots. Did I miss something?
Glad to hear your Mom's home Devil, that's a blessing at least.
Just a quick stop by -
Mom is home - the Princess' boyfriend grandma passed so Sunday we are off to the celebration of life. 4th "funeral" in 3 months and another is pending, very sad.
50s and cloudy here - rain possible.
Prayers for all in need -
Banks - I agree with that assessment.
No NHL/NBA/MLB - like WTF? At least we have toilet paper - - - -

Good one Doug!
Well, I should have seen this coming, my club's train show for this weekend's been cancelled. Not by the club, but by the venue. Coronavirus panic, don't 'cha know. I got a call from the showmaster an hour or so ago and he is steamed!
SJ, Maby this will work?
Just checking in.
Cloudy and 44 degrees.
All this TV hype about the virus and not one word on how to treat it if we get it.
Pee doctor this morning, A-OK for a year if my PSA is good.

Get rid of that blanky to blank popup!
Had long day at farms yesterday.
Goofing earlier. Now errands.
Will not go back and see last page. Who knows what I will see on which page. ???
PS: did go back and it worked. Use to go back and end up on 5 pages back.
Brent, get looking kids. Thanks for posting.
Kev, she is not kid to you.
Cloudy and gray. To hit 83 today and then back to 60's, maybe some low 70's. Rain predicted for next 6-7 days...no sun...ugh.
We are having to self-quarantine...a friend asked...virus?...no...the elections....
Ok, I'll call the dairy and have them take Shake & Bake's image off the cartons. (They haven't gone to printer yet, so no big deal).
Youngest Princess not happy. When she comes home this weekend, she won't be going back until April, due to the colleges reacting to the Woo-han virus. I can't argue this, as young people are natural conduits of germies.
