I plan to ride as often as I can. Nobody can predict the future. If anything, the roads are safer now. Traffic is gone. This month I have driven to Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois and down 77 to Charlotte last Friday, home on Saturday..back to Charlotte on Wednesday and I should be home by Wednesday. The freeway through the mountains has been enjoyable for a change. I am working my ass off keeping distribution centers open, but am restricted to car travel within 700 miles, or 10 hours. Once the country begins to open up, I will be fucked. You bet your ass I am taking advantage of this opportunity. Call it selfish, irresponsible... call it whatever you like. My mental health isn't going to suffer because of this. I need to ride my bike.

The masks are essentially useless. I see most people wearing them when isolated and then removing them to speak to someone when less than a foot away.

History repeats itself, time and time again.

Yeah? Just wait until May 1. You're head will explode.

"Happy Birthday". Apparently most of the populace can't count to twenty.

Thank you, Nivin. I am glad your family is feeling better.

You should see my underwear drawer.

I am on site taking care of that.

I remember being challenged in all aspects of life.

How do you circumcise a hillbilly? Kick his sister in the jaw.

If it is right, it must be Wong.

Inbreeding will do that. How many years of isolation does it take before all the chromosomes are glowing?

You heard it here, folks. I am faster than @Tpoppa.

The Fucking Quarantina DeWine Mixer N(e)O Meat and Greet Extravaganza.

You are lucky I lost my super-mod powers. I would ban you long time.

It's a date.

That explains a lot. Lol

Also...

Wait.. when did you meet my family?

I just put a new climbing toy together. I have to test ride and make fit adjustments before I wrap the bar, but it will be dialed in by May. We should get together and ride. I am nowhere near in shape enough to do more than 20 miles at anything hot enough to call quick, but am very fired up to get back to "a quick 50 miles after work" condition. Three years ago I was crushing 30-50 mile rides on my fixed gear. Now I throw a sheet over it so I can't see it mocking me. Time to make a change, for sure. I had nothing remotely close to your experience happen to me, but I am still rebuilding myself from my last peronal Michael Bay Production. If you are looking for company that you are probably faster than.. I am your guy.

Nope. But you know 100% for sure there are baddies inside. Figuring out the best place to be in a shootout is key. Some place where a hailstorm of defense rounds can be fired at a single entry point is a pretty good start.

At least this is a plan.

Then do what you must to collect them and exit the house? The goal is not saving the house. The goal is exiting the scenario with minimal loss of life. What happens to your family when you get shot trying to hunt down an anknown enemy? Now they are 100% defenseless because the only person with a "plan" is now dead. You have zero idea how many, what they are armed with and how serious the threat happens to be. Looking for the baddies doesn't make sense from a tactical perspective. This goes to the actual preparedness of your family in case of an emergency. Figuring it out beforehand is what saves lives. Playing "John Rambo" when actual lives are on the line is ignorant.

Fatal funnel. We do not "clear" houses. G.I. Joe does that. Retreat to the most secure room in the house if you cannot escape. Point the barrel at the entry point for that room and call 911. Tell them where you are and that you are prepared to use deadly force. "Clear the house".

Pump-action 12 gauge loaded with buckshot. If you are asking "which gun", I am going to assume your experience with firearms is not a lot. They are easy to use and hard to accidentally kill yourself with.
