A good plan. We go out now only when it cannot be avoided.
The virus has been in our daughter's family, our grandson's family, and among the hospice workers. It is just too close for comfort right now.
Perhaps by summer things will be better.................

Thanks Tombstone. Just looked like the stars were all aligning, so that I could try to shoot.

Took my truck for a run today. It had not been started for over 3 weeks. Topped it up with gas; held 3 gallons...…..
We have not been to the store for 5 weeks (and no deliveries). Fixed biscuits, gravy, sausage and eggs yesterday. Polished off the last of them today.
Ahhh, the suffering we must endure!

Customer #2 went for a ride with me today...……….. 
My trap had been being tripped, moved around and upset. After a few times, I decided that the 'coon was so big it was not completely inside when it tripped the trap, not allowing the door to lock. Then it would just struggle and roll until it worked its way back out.
So I bought a large size trap. Used up to and including coyotes. Got him first night with it!!!

I left the house today. 
I went for a drive.
I didn't contact another person, nor go inside a home or business.
The destination was a wide spot along the road.
A racoon has been decimating our bird seed (we have 3 feeders). So about 4 days ago I had a Hav-a-Hart trap delivered. He managed to get the bait, but avoid capture for 3 nights. But this morning, there he was. Angry, but unable to get out or chew through the trap.
Sooooo, we got in my F-150 and took a little 9-mile ride.
I wonder how many more there may be??

Saturday we decided to self-isolate, shelter in place, or whatever you want to call it. At our age, the Coronavirus would probably be a death sentence.
There were no rules.
We found it difficult to be completely isolated, so the object is to minimize outside contact.
First, our family is supportive. No more weekly family get-togethers. (They have left some kind of a "care package" on our doorstep every day since then.)
We have at least a months supply of groceries. WalMart will deliver to our door if we need more.
Our prescriptions are delivered.
Mail is delivered daily.
Still, it is difficult. I must sign for medicine deliveries. The virus can live for days on surfaces, paper etc. Everything from outside is disinfected; mail, prescriptions, care packages, groceries, etc. Everything! Then it is set aside for three days before being handled again. Then hands are washed thoroughly.
Even at that, we cannot completely isolate. Marlene has high blood pressure, diabetes, and kidney disease, to name a few. She is in a hospice program. We have been having a nurse visit weekly, and twice weekly visits from an aid (help with baths, change linens, etc.). I find that in order to stay in the hospice program, Medicare requires at least one nurse visit every two weeks. The hospice program is very cooperative with minimum visits, as Marlene is currently doing very well. So the nurse will visit every two weeks, and will make us her first stop of the day, minimizing exposure from other visits she makes that day. That eliminated five visits into our home each two weeks. If we need more visits, we need only to call them.
How long will this last? Who knows?

With a much more complex medicine and insulin regimen, I have been somewhat overwhelmed. 
But things are slowing to a dull roar, with visits from physical therapists, occupational therapists, nurses, aids (help with bathing etc.), and social workers...………………….. 
Still, today our daughter was insisting that I plan to go to some shoots...………
She is a jewel!!!
