Miss it again tomorrow.

Sure will!  The Bride and I, have for a bit, gone out Sunday mornings.  Went for breakfast at different restaurants, then went for some groceries/etc.   Something to do together, get out, and enjoy.    But with the cv-19 thing, it is not the same here!  Might go for a sammie, at a fast food thing, some needed stuff at the store, just not the same!!!!!!!         I am one that hopes this issue with the cv-19 can control, and end with good and positive results.  I, my wife, and son, are all still, working 40 hours a week,  good thing,  but worried every day going out to meet the needs!  P.S. My wife is working from home, about 4 days a week, that does help, has to go into town/office to things 1 day a week.

We will go Wednesday for groceries it's been 3 weeks since we went the last time. Last Wednesday was our 32nd anniversary so we went to a drive thru and got fish dinner and came home and ate them, sure wasn't as nice a going to a restaurant for a nice meal but it worked and we are safe.

 

I miss being able to take a Cycle ride into Nowhere in particular, stop at a small town bar, have a beverage or two and eat a bite then lounge in one of our state parks as watch others enjoying our fair land.

It'll be 33 years for Lisa & me on May 15. We have a friend who lost his wife about 10 days ago. Bob went to a local café for breakfast every day. Enjoyed the socializing. Thanks to COVID-19 all restaurants are closed for dine in. So Bob's been fixing his own breakfast. I had lunch with him 4 days last week. Drive through food. His nephew joined us 2 of the 4 days. Trying to keep him occupied. COVID-19 also prevented a proper funeral for his wife. They ran a trucking business for about 60 years. 20 or so semi trucks lined up along the highway outside the cemetery to salute Wilma. Bob & Wilma have an early 60's Chevy 409 that's been restored and they've taken it to truck shows all over. Another friend and Bob's nephew got it out and took it to the cemetery, facing the highway, with 2 American flags set up behind the cab. Enough breeze to make the flags fly. Bob really liked the show of trucks and seeing his own truck there to salute Wilma. Bob says he's having a proper funeral mass and meal for Wilma once conditions permit. But he sure misses his daily café breakfast!

Thats the stupid part Tom... Out running down the road, or around the park.. NOBODY within 100 ft of you  and they want you to LOCK DOWN... A movie theater  or ball game is different.. Out jogging, you have less contact with people than walking around Wal Mart.

The one thing I miss most is not having a real worship service at church and the fellowship with other members. I appreciate the online services but they just are not the same. I am spending a lot more time at the farm now and enjoying every minute of it. Guess I am just an unsociable old phart.

It does not destroy the virus on contact, it only allows the protective sheath it carries to degenerate and to allow the virus to self destruct over time. Gloves masks any clothing even considered as contaminated has to be washed then UV Light disinfected then allowed to dry completely before re-handling. This is not something that one swipe of a Lysol towelette will destroy. Regular soap and water does as well, and nothing actually 'Kills' a virus as is not truly alive, is a protein based form does not eat nor breath or any action of a life form, just destroys cells to replicate.

According to the Clorox Bleach website they recommend six minutes saturation time to destroy viruses.

This is stated in their directions for making your own disinfectant.

Once mixed their instructions state the mixture is good for 24 hours.

You then should make fresh mixture.

Two to three tablespoons bleach for 32 oz.
of water is what I have been using.
