In China the opposite happened and divorce rates went through the roof.
I’m becoming clinically undepressed and thinking about beginning it all.

Because the couples found out they can't live together??  Different than when they never saw each other while working 12 hour days.

reloaded some 44magnum over the weekend
running out of ammo boxes to store all the reloads.  I never really have time to reload, I guess sort of a positive that I can reload more due to sheltering in place.  but if I had the choice i'd rather do something else like shoot. I have 2 more boxes to store reloaded ammo. after that i'll just put in a plastic container.
that's about the last of my AA#9 powder too.  good thing I got a few more containers of powder that I haven't opened yet.  and plenty projectiles.   O0

My sisters activity has been trying to keep a Journal since being locked down.

My Covid 19 journal

Day 1 - I can do this !! Got enough food and wine to last a month !

Day 2 - Today I tried to make hand sanitizer. It came out as jello shots !!

Day 3 - Opening my 8th bottle of wine. I fear wine supplies might not last !

Day 4- - Went to a new restaurant called "The Kitchen".
              You have to gather all the ingredients and make your own meal.
               I have no clue how this place is still in business.

Day 5 - Strawberries - Some have 210 seeds, some have 235 seeds. Who knew !

Day 6 - I get to take the garbage out. I'm so excited, I can't decide what to wear.

Day 7 - If you keep a glass of wine in each hand, you can't accidentally touch your face. 

Day 8 - Ran out of wine, hitting the hard's. Laughing way too much at my own jokes.

Day 9 - Struck up a conversation with a spider today. Seems nice. He's a web designer.

Day 10 -  I put liquor bottles in every room.
                 Tonight I'm getting all dressed up and going bar hopping.

Day  11 - Isolation is hard. I swear my fridge just said "What the hell do you want now?".

Day 12 - I realized why dogs get so excited about something moving outside, going for walks or car rides.
                I think I just barked at a squirrel.

Day 13 -8 pm. Removed my day pajamas and put on my night pajamas.

Day 14 - Watched birds fight over a worm, Cardinals lead the Blue Jays 3-1

Day 15 - Anybody else feel like they've cooked dinner 395 times this month ?

This would be the perfect time for people to learn a new skill.  Cooking, organization, DIY stuff, etc...

I'd be happy with everyone simply learning to wash their hands after using the restroom and not coughing and sneezing in public without covering their face!

It's the little things that matter most.   :thumbsup:

got around to reloading these Hornady 225 grain FTX 44magnum loads with H110
I read that the BC isn't as good as the regular XTP, but I got them on sale a while back and now I have the time to reload these, but can't test them yet bc our leaders don't give a crap about opening the shooting range
good thing is I reloaded a bunch of ammo in the past several weeks, but can't shoot um.
its like modifying a car to race, but no race track to test it on.  well, that one's been waiting to reopen for the past 14 years.  I hope kokohead isn't heading down the same path

I can hardly wait to get my reloading room finished so I can get back to shooting. So far I have had new vinyl flooring put in and I have my bench in place. I have some components to get started. Problem is I have to unpack everything else in the house before I can get around to my reloading equipment. Gotta keep the wife happy.

I'm the "Ahhhh, tomorrow...…" type of guy.  I lazy.  I was an electrician before I retired and worked very hard at my craft but when it comes to home projects...…."Ahhhh tomorrow...…"  Which stretched for days, weeks, months...…

My wife used to joke that she needed to hire an electrician everytime she needed to do something done with the house.  The last thing I wanted to do in my house is electrical work.  Or anything for that matter.  Just so tired from work neva like do nothing on days off.

But now I nomo excuse.  The fluorescent light was not working good in the kitchen.  I went to put on my tool pouch.

I couldn't put my belt on.  I came too fat.

"Ahhhh tomorrow...…." ;)

i'm sure it wont be long until you're reloading again. since you're in a free state now and may need a holster, I think Simply Rugged is around your parts, although idk exactly your parts is.   ;D  they make some good looking leather holsters

I was looking at Milt Sparks. But they are behind at least 3 months. I just went to Sportsman’s Warehouse yesterday. I’ll look for that brand next time I go. I only spent $80 but I was drooling the whole time!  :love:

I mounted my two presses today. But I think I am going to change their locations on my bench. I still have a lot of stuff to unpack before I can get started. Still have my bookcase and books to move into the room. I need a chair as well. I’ll try the folding chairs I have but I know I won’t be comfortable after a while.

I always used Fanny pack or small of the back carry.
Used shoulder carry for years,
but it always was a pain.
I always carry a multi tool
so side holster is not an option.
I can shoot left or right handed.
But as I age lefty shooting is a little slower.
