Coronavirus Covid-19 Is it Affecting You and How?

Was Lowe's closed in Texas? All of the home improvement stores remained open in WA...which is extremely surprising!

Lowes and grocery stores and other essential stores had limited capacity. So there was one way in, one way out and someone had to stand at the door counting people as they came in and left. Reach capacity? Line up 6 feet apart.

Gotcha, that was the same here too! We only had to wait in line a couple of times!

Lowes never seemed to busy here, although they were ut of bleach and toilet paper! LOL We (DS!) seem to be there every week since we are working on our house projects.

Got our OK for the Covid antibody tests, but the lab says we will have to stand in line outside till they can take us. DH found a UCLA lab location in Burbank though so much closer. The woman said no appointments, open 8-5 but 1-2 seemed to be less busy.

A lock down story!

My husband & I were in town on Sunday and needed to get some food! So, we called in an order and picked it up! We then moved from in front of the restaurant and found a different place to park in the lot! We opened the bag with our food in it only to discover that they didn't include any eating utensils! I was tired and a bit hungry and now, I was slightly irritated...they should automatically include silverware when you order take out...yes grumpy me! Dale says, maybe you have to ask for it and I say, no, they should include it...still grumpy! I did however compose myself as I went back to the restaurant to politely request something to eat our food with! So, Monday morning rolls around and I make Dale's lunch for his work day! Tuesday morning, I open his lunch box to be greeted with this! The picture explains the rest of the story...

Y'know how people keep wanting to get things moving again, and as part of it, keep saying, "at risk -stay home?" I just saw an article where the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services did a breakdown of our population, and guess what? Over half of the adults in NC are in one or more of the "at risk" groups!

That's really sad & is probably true for a lot of people in our country. We are a very unhealthy nation!

We have potential customers for several lambs as meat but we got to calling around and the earliest we can get any processed is November. We got to doing the math and decided we will be taking all of the lambs to the sale barn except for the replacement ewes we are keeping.

We have a slaughter date in June because I set it months ago. But having a hard time selling the meat. Not going to pay for slaughtering charges, then try to sell meat. We will take them to sale. I have two live lambs sold, we’ll deliver them to slaughter, owners will pick up meat and pay for processing. I have several more I’m going to try to sell like that.

We had every intention of selling 21 off the farm but if I can't get them processed, I'll run out of grass before I get rid of them. We are always about a week away from drought conditions every year starting in June and we don't want to get caught paying $ to sell them. The market is good enough still here that it's still profitable to sell them as lambs.
