What have you done today to take your mind off the “situation”

16 weeks old and 71 pounds

I must have fluked out my saint caught on quick was more intelligent then the dane we have. I remember when picking her up from the breeder I had only seen pics and I had it in my head I was getting a puppy, ya know something you can hold in your hands I couldn't get over it how big they are as pups, there pretty well mid sized dogs right by the time they can leave mom to funny.
 
Im still working so that helps kill sometime during the week . Other than that doing band workouts , watching netflicks and even doing some beachbody workout with the wife .
 
You never know with dogs when it comes to smarts, we have twin sister chihuahua's one is brilliant and the other adorably clueless.

I took my spaniel to the vet last week for his shots, there was a lady with a 4 month old Saint B and it was huge in comparison. Truth be told it was one of the cutest puppies I have ever seen in my life.
 
I’ve been playing the new Doom Eternal lately. I also fixed my go to whitewater canoe and installed a new seat, yoke, and thwart. Hard to say when I’ll get to use it.

Oh DooM Eternal...I need to get that. Is it as awesome as it looks??
 
Huge genetically-engineered space marines wielding crazy weapons like chain-swords and boltguns... what's not to love? 😋

It's a pretty fun hobby, something you can pick up to kill a few hours. The novels are decent too. Warhammer 40k really is a whole ecosystem of greatness.

I was huge into dungeons and dragons back in the day, warhammer, I was older by the time it got popular, had friends that enjoyed it, I would have gotten into it, but my wife teased me about the figurines.
Plus you need people to play with, no one I know, other than you plays it anymore.
I know down at the comic book store, they still have people get together and play, but I’d feel awkward just going up and saying, hey can I play, lol.
 
My life hasn't changed much except i workout at home instead of the gym and I avoid ppl. I am always busy doing something in the house whether it's cleaning or cooking or hobbies so i am not bored. I am actually enjoying this time at home. Im still working, but it's nice not being able to go anywhere and just being home. I like it.

I played D&D when I was younger too, and started out painting those miniatures (back when they were still made of a lead alloy lol).

Getting back into painting is a pretty recent development, and warhammer is huge now, so it seemed like a natural choice. Plus the models are just so damn cool.

My wife is fine with it, but i try not to let her see those $150 receipts from Games Workshop. 🤣

this is so funny, as a kid growing up I would frequent the local mall and noticed the GAMES WORKSHOP. Went in didnt know anything and bought myself some glue, paint, brushes and a single model - a giant metal bat thing. painted that shit up with like 3 colors and brought it to elementary school show & tell and everyone was blown away lol. Then my friends in highschool started collecting and we would have games not even following the official game rules or anything. Must have spent over 800$ on spacemarines and tyranids and paint, was a spoiled kid by my parents. One day decided to sell them all on ebay for probably half what was spent. Ah the memories.

I consider getting back into it from time to time but then I look online and see the prices and cringe. It would be hilarious to set up a local canadian brawn warhammer 40k club, go to a games workshop and see a bunch of jacked dudes rolling dices and playing with little painted figures 😁

what am I doing to keep relatively sane with the virus shutting it all down? mainly walking the dog, home workouts, smoking/drinking (two vices I need eliminate), sleeping, music, old movies

today I started reading the art of war, actually its a audiobook so I can listen and lift together. Quite a interesting 'read' even if not all of it is applicable to todays lifestyle.

Hey bro, count me in on that CB 40k game!

I'm pleasantly surprised to learn that a few of you guys are interested in the same nerdery as me. 😄

Unfortunately, i can't spend every hour doing 40k stuff. To keep sane today my wife and I started germinating seeds and doing other prep needed to get our garden going. Having a healthy garden seems extra important this year!
 
I have been working as my job is deemed an essential service. While not at work I binge watch shows and cook a whole lot of food. More specifically smoke any type of meat. Pork shoulder, beef brisket, beef ribs. Made some venison pepperettes this weekend. I also live by the water and am slaying 8 to 12 perch everytime I put my rod in the water. Using mulched up dill pickle and salt and vinegar chips to bread these tasty like guys.

I love food😍
 
Its finally starting to warm up here so lots to do outdoors soon.
been training regular. A few trips on side by side and lots drinking, but now have a new project to keep me busy.
found water coming into my bedroom. Roof leaking. Wall blistered. Pulled some panel down to inspect and found lots of mold. Called insurance and they say no coverage because not plumbing. Fuck. I am on my own. Just went through this at the other house in the fall.
But now i have a project. Rebuild the exterior wall. Possibly roof. A job would help pay for it. Maybe i should send Justin an email since he loves spending money??
 
@superbeast Sad news, hope you get this sort out without too much $$ involve.

Still trainning as usual, even more, longer workout and frequently 2 cardio session.

Did a to do list, trying to get at least one thing done in the day but not too much, so i have enough to do for a while.

Using this opportunity to learn something new and profitable, learning Day Trading 3-5 hours a day, seem like a good timming to do it and experiment it.
 
I am on a healthy dose of test and popping dick pills like tic tac's and fucking my woman every chance time I see here

and I dd clean the garage and have cleaned my house top to bottom
 
Easter is coming up so I been making Easter cards for past two days. I been practicing on my bow and arrow in the backyard I remember winning a gold metal for it & know since I haven’t used it in 10 years I’m horrible at it, it is slowly coming back to me. Always finding something positive to do having faith & hope & helping people.
