Don't know if the situation has mentally set in yet here in Columbus. I went to Walmart for a few things this morning and I was the only one wearing a face mask, despite the store being fairly busy.
Not true, if they split it front to back, he can milk either the right or left side. That’s the 2ay we should be doing it any way so each person gets meat and milk.I know you were Army, so I hope you understand that you will not be able to milk half a milk cow, unless you get the back half. :>)

The meat section at Kroger in Danville was bare on Friday, but Saturday they had restocked it somewhat. Regular shipments seem to be coming in. The Walmart Market in Plainfield seems to have steady restock.
My son works at McDonald's in Danville and as of last night he said thier freezer was so full he couldn't fit in there. Good to know if you have a Big Mac attack.
I saw 4 or 5 fishermen in boats on Racoon Lake yesterday. Those are some dedicated fishermen. I'd have needed a crotch warmer to be out there!
How would the authorities look upon me taking a few of my kids fishing in my boat during the stay at home order? I've got everything I need, so we'd have no contact with anyone unless a cop pulled me over. Just curious. When the weather warms, it'll be hard not to do it.
I've been doing some remodeling, so I happened to have a couple old masks around still, but you can actually make your own mask. Yes it won't be as effective as an N95 mask, but 80% or 60% effective is better than nothing. Read this for more details:Most people can't get their hands on masks. I certainly don't have any, so you'd see me without one, if I had to go to a store. You can bet I'd be wearing one if I had one.
That's perfectly fine. You're still allowed to go to parks, go for walks outside (in fact they encouraged it), etc.. They went over the types of things that people were still allowed to do on the news this morning (WTHR). They just emphasized that if you do participate in those activities that you continue to practice social distancing.
I stopped by a Kroger here in Fort Wayne just to top off a couple things. Shelves were basically empty, no pasta, no sauces, nearly out of soup. Frozen section was fairly picked over. If all you wanted was Easter candy and frozen fish sticks you were in luck.
On a side note I did grab a few packs of Cadbury Eggs and the Reeses Peanut Butter Eggs.
I figured shopping last night would be a fool's errand.
I'll wait a while, but I really, really want some split peas.
Makin' some split pea and pineapple soup?
I couldn't help it Jetta.
Let's just keep those things separate. It was a 25 lb ham, and gotta have some variety.
making ham and scalloped potatoes tonight.
about 4:30 normallyMmmmm, what time is dinner?
I couldn't help it Jetta.
Joking aside, I love me some split pea and ham soup, even if it's the Campbell's variety. That's one thing I've never made myself. May have to try that sometime. Is it pretty much like making ham 'n bean soup? Soak the peas first and then throw everything a crockpot?
Yup. I do the two the same way.
Hambone, peas, an onion, carrots, celery, bay leaf, water - all in a dutch oven (or crock pot) for a couple of hours. Then chuck out the vegies and add the ham pieces and simmer a bit. If you pre-soak the peas, you can save some time.
