I'm in a lockdown and this is what I'm doing…
« on: March 21, 2020, 04:03:07 am »
I started this post, to start a positive vibe in what we are doing in lockdown due to COVID-19 , and it must not be steam related…
Here is my first video, and I do hope more will follow this, we are not alone in this, we stand together…


Cheers, and keep it safe…

Great video Danny! 🤠

Perked me perk right up. It’s hard to believe that 6 weeks ago we were on our Epic Road Trip.

I can’t wait to see the new display.

a nice video Danny, we are not in lockdown right now in Indiana , many businesses have tightened up their security and I'm am not allowed in many places now (I am a FedEx freight delivery driver) many businesses have come up with a form for a driver to sign, which  we are not allowed to do re:the virus, and forehead Thermo scans seem to be in Vogue now.

Yesterday I did a heavy shopping tour, getting hopefully two or three weeks worth of perishables in, but we do normally have a few months worth of canned and dry goods in at all times. Yesterday I also reluctantly posted on line a cancellation of our local BPCRS & PCLARS matches that were scheduled for next weekend, that typically bring some folks in from out of the area, thus the justification for the cancellation. Today I'm attending our regularly scheduled local muzzleloader match at one of my favorite sites, the old Butler ranch, where typically no more than a dozen locals show up and shoot. Today I'll be surprised if we get half a dozen. Open air venue, so no problem keeping reasonable distancing, and a truly beautiful locale with expansive views across and down the valley.

After today I'll be staying home mostly fiddling with alidades and other old surveying equipment, doing a bit of drafting, and perhaps finally getting around to building a few switches for my long overdue "garden", well backyard anyway, railroad!?!?

Thanks for the video Danny,
I have closed my storefront business due to our governor's mandate, so I hope to get out to our local state parks to do some metal detecting, as well as starting  a new build of  one of Bob Herder's model water cooled vertical domestic hit/miss engines. The state parks are still open, but all facilities are closed, so social distancing will not be a problem! Hopefully, we will be able to get back to work soon.

The hard frame of Project is coming to a finish.
The glass cover plates, have to wait until the Lockdown comes to milder terms and DIY shops re-open.
Anyway, I'm pretty pleased with the result.
Everything has to be rearranged but this will take a few days, perhaps even longer.
The existing display will get a make over and my fossil collection will move to an other destination…


Cheers,
Danny

It certainly looks like you have a very impressive paleontology collection there Danny.

Perhaps before you move all of that you should film a video tour of all your fossils to share with us and others.

Nice display hall you have provided for yourself! Certainly wish I had space available such as that, but probably wouldn't make half as good a use of it as you have!!!
