We got about six inches of wet snow last night that will melt immediately. Participated in a phone conference last night with a group of (mildly clueless) people that want to build some trails in a city park in Vergennes.
coffee'd. new office is getting some nice sunlight this morning.
Hello. Got my wife to wear the continuous glucose monitor and her first night’s data show that she is pre-diabetic. On the upside, I am a doctor and this should be entirely addressable with diet, without her venturing into the outside world during all of this.
Speaking of which, it’s time for me to head out there.

Melting snow is melting fast.
During my drive home last, my car got splattered with what I am guessing is axle grease from a truck. I got home, shut the car door, and my hand got covered in it. It looks like someone took a tube of Phil Wood grease and just squeezed the entire contents on my side mirror. That shit does not clean off easy. Hopefully the car wash is an essential business because I'll need to stop by later.
Other than that, OMG HI!

the glucose meter you were trying to sell?
my ability to recreate has just been shut down: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/gatineau-park-closing-coronavirus-1.5506057
I have to say, I really don't get this one. There are no common surfaces in a forest. People can easily maintain more than 6ft distance between themselves... And the impact on my mental health just took a serious hit.
I'm taking the boys to an xc skiing spot for the last time this morning (it closes COB today). ugh.

they can but they don't
There are parks closing here too and bike clubs putting up trail closure signs.
I guess it's two sided... look at what is happening in the states with some of their reported trail crowding. Then there are the common trail heads, risk for increased litter, injury, travelling to and from the park etc.
On the other hand, yeah it should be allowed to go out into the parks, alone, for some recreation. It's good for the body and mental health like you said.
Just wave a nickel plated .32 caliber revolver at them and say "You're getting too close, see? You better make tracks and stop bumping your gums before I let you talk to the convincer. You'll get a bullet in your walking sticks, see?"*
* I had to mine 30s slang for this. I mad I didn't use dog soup or eggs in coffee.
Mornin!
WFH week 2 is just as uneventful as week 1. Company held a virtual town hall yesterday, though it took 3 tries to finally get it going cause there was too much web traffic. Good news is it sounds like my jerb, however lackluster at the moment, is safe.
Time to go make a grocery run before the unenforced shelter-in-place order takes effect.

Nah, what I sold was my home lipid testing setup. And that did sell, basically breaking even from when I bought it used when accounting for that it was bought with HSA money. This is a different thing.
I might do a packie run before the lockdown.
beer and fucky green liquor for me
They’re not closing though.
cat died yesterday. we had that cat for over ten years...11 or 13? Can't remember...4 different homes, shitty landlords, nearly getting lost on Boston rooftops, adopted as an adult. "not a lap cat" on her adoption papers, fell asleep on my lap on day 2. Kids were around all night so I couldn't even booze the grief away.
At work for hopefully the last time for a couple weeks. Everything seems to be working and I'm excited to GTFO and not breathe anybody else's filth for a while.

Very sorry to hear, this gives me the sads.
sorry man. i was a wreck when my cat died.
Damn
We closed the trailheads and parkings but the forest remains open for the "locals"
I'd wait until after the order... crowds should be reduced, I'd think.
Sorry...
Sorry to hear that.
One local State Forest trail system closed today(DuPont State Forest). Why you ask? Because fucktard tourists keep flocking here in groups of douche plus five and don’t know what social distancing means. Forest Ranger said y’all can’t listen so fuck you im shuttin it down. What does this mean? I don’t know but my guess is these turds will now clog up Pisgah and get that shut down. People are using this shut down, schools out deal to just clog up the woods like a free vacation. Fuck You and go home!
Saw that the Forest Service has closed all campgrounds in Pisgah.
We are now getting pressured to close our network. I'm battling the hordes. So far I told them (city officials) that when they restrict people to walk anywhere in town on the streets, we will close the trails.
Yep. My guess is the Pizz is not to far behind. Forest Ranger at DuPont was appalled at the amount of crowds and hanging out in the parking areas. Like any other spring/summer day. On top of that it’s been really wet around here and the trails show the abuse. #lovingourforeststodeath

Seems to be happening at all the parks and greenways. And very few of them will give you six feet of space.

Yeah, I'm thinking this is how it's going to be. Now I just have to wait for the snow to melt. I can ride to the trails on a normal bike, but not really into it on my fatbike.
