It's obvious that most of us here are wasting too much time on the internet, but what sort of constructive things have you been up to since the lockdown?

As for me, I've been doing a shitload of practice on guitar and have made more progress in one week than in the previous year+

I'm sure most people here have something to contribute to this topic. Have you taken up a new hobby, picked an old hobby up again?started/completed that home renovation project you've been putting off for years? Taken up short story writing? Practicing to be a master chef? Maybe you decided to dust off that oil paint set and Bob Ross DVD? Cleaned your room?

My son has a guitar, growing up I played the piano for 8 years and trumpet and french horn, I should look up some yourtube videos to learn guitar, thats a great idea.

I've grown the biggest garden I've ever had not because of needing food but killing time.

I have a new puppy that's 8 weeks old since my old dog passed recently.

Stripped wallpapper off the bedroom and repainted.

And because school has closed I've become a part time teacher doing school work with the kid daily.

Yup that's about it.

Don't worry about it, it's all in good fun.

Working.

Between working:


Training a dog.


This dog.

Been exploring new places on my bicycle. Other than that I've been sending an inordinate amount of time following scientists and charts to better understand this Virus.

Working. A lot.

Working out from home.

Making food.

Playing Borderlands 3.

Studying.

Doing research.

Editing videos.

Currently playing Dark Souls, as well.

Doubling my solar system array from 20 Sunpower panels to 40

Added a battery backup system to my home

Making my hot tub solar heated passively and actively

Building a geo thermal cooling system for my solar panels and metal roof

Planting a flour garden outside and an indoor hydroponic system with 30 plants

Rebuilt my computer with a liquid cooling system and a higher powered cpu.

Replanted 1/4 of my backyard with fresh St. Augustine

Got google fiber installed

Jealous. I have been respecting the shelter in place order, so I do not have access to sex at the moment.

Got a hernia last week so ive just been sitting around not being able to do much of anything. Everytime i sneeze, cough, try to squeeze out a fart etc... my intestines push out my lower abdomen and it looks like i have a blown out tire above my junk.

Got my surgery scheduled for tuesday so hopefully by mid-late May ill be able to fart normal again.

This is terrible.

Sorry this happened to you. I hope you surgery goes well and you heal swiftly.

Still working full time, just part of it is at home.

Miss the gym, so I've been doing pushups and body-weight squats several times a day, several days a week.

Been watching WAAAYYY too much TV on the weekends though.

Wow. Time very well spent, Broly.

I'm kind of ashamed to admit that I haven't been spending my time as nearly as productive as you've been. I need to clean my gutters out on my house and change out all of my old storable water for some fresher water. Also need to really wash my car as it has pollen and grime all over it.

I've mostly been playing PS3 games (can't wait for PS5 to come out), watching You Tube and blu-ray movies. I've also tried to get started back exercising on a daily basis but that's hard to get back into after being away from it for so long.

People here are having surgeries for non-life threatening conditions cancelled to prevent healthy people from being exposed to COVID-19 in hospitals.

Thank you.

Im going to make a youtube video about it soon, as soon as this geo thermal system is done. Right now got the water tank buried, finally after sitting on the side of my house for 6 months, tomorrow im having the stage 1 and 2 filter systems installed for it. Then I will start diverting the rain water into the tank and drop the dc solar pump into the well and start running the water piping on the roof.

Nice. I look forward to that video. I would love to see that!

Broly don't post the video here sad souls will melt down.

Stop derailing the thread with your crying.

There have been instances of Bash derailing threads, but I'm sure those were different.

Had my hernia repair two years ago and have another elsewhere possibly. Sorry for your suffering. Definitely understand though.

This would be distressing to read if we found out you were locked inside of a grade school.

Does still working count. I have a job that enables me to work from home.

Aside from that walking to mountains helps calm the nerves. Arizonaa has been rather lax about COVID-19 and not quite sure how to feel about that.

As long as your travel is restricted (not letting people in), you'll be among he fastest to recover and reach heard immunity so it is a good thing.

Here's hoping. Apparently there's a plan to have a soft reopening of businesses statewide by May though the Governor is being weird about the whole situation.

Yeah, or if he was in an animal shelter.

Lots of Photography on the Weekends.

Assembled two new bedside tables. Looks better. They are black. I had to use the handheld circular saw because the back "cover" was too long to screw into the "frame." Came together nicely.

TV.
Writing.
Meditation.
Working out.
World of Warcraft.

It's not really all that different from before. Just no occasional show/traveling.

Living with people even if you love them is a struggle Adam mate, especially under these conditions.

I know, that is why I live by myself.
