I've been doing a lot of in home workouts.  Doing the insanity workout.  It's kicking my ass but I've dropped weight rather quickly. A lot of that is also due to not eating out.  I've been reading books.  Reading comics on marvel unlimited and dc universe.  Watching movies and TV shows.  Playing the occasional video game. Doing a few home improvement projects.  Really trying to use it as a period to improve mind and body.

@Pizzapunch Thank you!

I'm up about four pounds because my wife stocked up on fucking chocolates and things.
Just ordered a new book..  looking forward to that.  Evil Archeology
Good for you on the workouts.

Doing my foot PT everyday. I walk the dog each day. New laptop arrived, I've been installing apps and setting it up. Oh, and I'm  freshening my sourdough starter.

Slonimsky wrote Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns. There are about 2000. That’s keeping me busy. There’s a guitar version that’s actually affordable.

Would it kill you people to answer the effing question??  REALLY!!  ::) ::) ::)

@KSM32  I pass the extra time by reading more. Getting back into writing. Doing extra chores.  I used to be adequate doing basic home repairs but for some reason I lost whatever skill I had and started making things worse. So, I've decided to try to do more and regain that "skill."  I just purchased a new Milwaukee cordless drill set with all the bells and whistles.  8)  Now I can't wait to drill and screw everything.  :D

Plus I walk more because I'm a a fat ass and need to. Other than that it's the same. I also drive around and pretend that I'm Mad Max.  I am scouring the land for Formula 409 and barley.  Yes, barley. What the fuck? People are hoarding toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning products, and BARLEY!?  I've gone to seven...YES SEVEN different grocers. I just want a one pound bag of whole or pearled barley.  Is that too much to ask?  :-\  :'(

I hope it came with anti virus.

I'm fortunate that am still working so I've been doing that while watching the world come apart. Stuff like this:

Well, lemme see, how shall I count the days....
Binge watching, binge reading, binge listening, binge browsing, binge eating...in between dealing with these damn nosebleeds almost daily from sinus problems I’ve been having for ONE SOLID MONTH! ENT doc won’t let me exercise or do housework till everything heals, which seems like never. Soooo....back to the Binge fests. GRRRRRR

It did, but I shut it off. I am a renegade. I go around without a mask.

What are the big barley plans? Beef, barley? :)  @ShayP

I have yet to be disappointed by anything Milwaukee tools makes although I do find their color scheme to be ugly, and that has me as a Black and Yellow DeWalt snob like a guy who rides a Harley even though other bikes are better made. There's something I can do today! Pull all my DeWalt tools and attachments out and clean them all up. That'll take hours!  :)   I'll throw on Operation Mindcrime and get the party started!

I have a complete dewalt 18v collection but got tired of buying batteries.  My Makita 18v batteries last forever. I only have about 6 Makita tools but it will be a long time before I buy another dewalt tool.
