    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!

              craigrice Yup, I’m worried things won’t be the same. However, I DO feel a little “post 9/11 love” for my fellow Americans and I see it more when I’m out and about and that’s a great thing. I am also talking to my family a lot more than I was and old friends, if something good comes of this I think it will be those types of things and maybe this will get us prepared if we ever see something awful like an airborne Ebola.

                Jonathon I second This! While It sucks Im seeing family’s cooking and eating together again. People Helping others left and Right. There is the Potential for a lot of good to come. Unfortunately how long will that last? Just like 9/11…

                    a family should eat a meal together every night, without this the children become raised by the system and not instilled with the morals and ideals, and guidance of the parents as to what they should be and do in life, maybe this is Gods way of telling us to slow down regroup and get our priority’s right to what they should be instead of the fast pace life we think we need to live

                      Our local HEB has plenty of meat now, for awhile they were limiting everybody. But TP is still hard to get along with dried item like beans etc… But with 4 deer in freezer, hogs, quail, ducks, pheasant we seems to be doing very well, oh and red snapper in freezer. Like I said we are blessed to only have 2 cases of Covid-19, one is on the air force base and the other was a guy who came back from NY. Stay safe y’all and do not fear.

                          Jonathon When I got to the shop this morning I noticed someone had broken into the storage shed of the restaurant across the street. Way to kick a man/industry while they are down.

                                    Joe Hell Man that’s rough. Sadly we are going to see more and more of this, or I am thinking we will, who knows, maybe people will surprise me but no matter how much most f us come together there are always going to be people who only look out for themselves.
