How do you spend your time during the lockdown?

Catching up on like 25 years of lost sleep!
Other than that, working out and mountain biking every day to maintain sanity and conditioning when it's time to get back to the grind.
And speaking of the grind, been sharpening a lot of knives for folks, something sorta zen about the process that keeps me centered.

Wife and I are still working. She is working from home until further notice. She is getting a little stir crazy and misses the people at work.

Other then keeping our shopping, errands, and going out to eat to a minimum, not much has changed for us.

I discovered Trailer Park Boys and do a lot of this. Wish the gyms would open. Essential for health.

yeah, but maybe do some workout at home is better than getting in a crowded place. take care;)
 
I telecommuted before any of this so fortunately not much has changed for me. The places we went to before like hardware and grocery stores are still open although we do miss going out for a meal at a sit down restaurant. We did recently blow the dust off our copy of monopoly but because I'd rather have pork chops than hot dogs and a bed rather than a couch I let the wife win. Might try fishing this weekend, it's still a little chilly but should be about 75 here on Saturday. I will say one thing this lockdown has made better, we haven't had to go to the doctors and being in our 50s we usually wind up there every three months for some reason or another even if it's just to renew some prescriptions. They just do it by phone or email now, I'm sure my insurance company is pleased.
 
I’m not in lockdown I still work everyday as An essential worker/ Truck driver.
I’m grateful to still be working and much respect for those that aren’t able to due to the lock down. The hardest thing for me financially wise is going from 10 to 12 hours in a work day to only 8 to 9. It’s a big cut in overtime which makes a big portion of my income. With that being said that extra 2 hours of home time at night after work is nice.
 
I am retired, but drive a school bus part-time. I am laid off, but still drawing about 75% of my pay because the company I drive for is still getting paid under its contract. That comes to an end at the end of may so I will begin to draw unemployment.

There is an awful lot of down time, which I spend reading, watching TV, the internet, futzing with my knives, and doing exercises for my knee, which was replaced with steel, titanium and teflon in March.
 
Work everyday, volunteer as Farm Bureau president, communicate with local legislators, and consultant for other business.

Lately working even more to comply with increasing regulations and requirements.

Trying to raise a family and be a good community member. I miss playing music at gigs.

Free time decompressing is spent here on this Forum.

Times are weird. Thank goodness for this hobby.

When you work for electrical construction, you have to go where you're needed! The Tennessee Valley is pretty big! Have to keep the power on.

Be cool! ;)

yeah, less income is a problem, but the extra time after work is great for relaxing.

What happens to your knee? Take care.
 
Still working my regular shifts as a power plant operator, and staying at home being a hermit working on projects like this when I'm not...so basically nothing has changed:confused:;)

 
Being that I go to work normally and I'm pretty much solitary kind of person and own dog that I need to take out I pretty much live my life normally. :D

What have you done? XD
 
:cool:Ha! I’ve had far less free time since the lockdown. Working more hours (from home), household doubled, wife is injured and can’t get an “elective” surgery to repair torn tendons.

Still, didn’t stop me from picking up a couple of GEC 62s. :cool:
