          With these uncertain times I am sure glad I like to hunt and fish. Did some trout fishing yesterday and we were the only two people on the lake. Can’t get any more socially distant than that. I will be able to start to empty the multiple freezers that I have stocked full of deer, 1/2 a cow, and several bags of crappie. Meat will not be an issue.

              What a difference a day can make. After the Governor issued his Safer at Home and all non essential businesses closed the streets are quiet. Kinda eerie in a way. Hope it helps. The wine & spirits are considered essential so no rest for me. Incredibly busy.

                          erich52 It didn’t upload! Email it to me at jonathon@waltonsinc.com and I will upload it or choose a smaller image size when posting from a phone. Also, I have to say I am loving this post! I hope others are receiving the same good feeling of excitement (which seems rare these days!) when they see an alert that it has been updated!

                              My Company (aluminum foundry) has been deemed essential due to making parts for military, medical, agricultural, etc. My guys are still making a good living but feel bad for all the restaurants and bars. My family is eating out (carry out) more than before the shutdown to help out. I am buying 150 guys in the shop lunch today from local places to help a little. Hope we can get back to business as usual quickly without too much damage to health or economy!

                                Brianh Way to support local business! I know how you feel regarding restaurants and bars. We continue to stay open while dozens of our industry friends are without jobs. Today at the shop we are hosting an industry employee and helping to make meatloaves for those in the industry needing an extra meal.

                                  Joe Hell Went so well today, we scheduled another lunch from a different local pub for next Thursday. Feels good to give our guys a little benefit and help out the local restaurants. Virus in Illinois is ramping up but it’s 99% Chicago which is 3 hours north of us. Our county only has 5 cases and has been pretty stable, hope it stays that way.

                                      Brianh I called my local Y to make sure they were still charging me in the hopes it means employees will still get paid and they weren’t. I had them switch me to a “sustaining member” or something where they continue to bill during downtimes like this…not that there has been downtimes like this before. But, I’m lucky enough to still have a job and want to keep contributing to good places!
