Pace yourself. Please.

I'm in pretty good shape and I'd probably be a greater risk if I were actually at some nasty, sweaty gym. Fresh air, yard work, and enough wood split for a evening or 2. Probably have enough out back to do this every other day (weather permitting) for the entire month.

Only challenge is when I get to a few logs that I probably cannot get up onto the splitting block; awkward splitting stuff to low....

Sitting around is not good! Tomorrow (weather permitting) is long walk day.

...long walk day. Me, too.

I cut the front lawn a few days ago - earliest ever, I think. Crazy thing is that the lawn care crews have been hitting all the neighbor's yards......

Guess lawn care is essential

Companies are cutting here too. Local code enforcement is stopping them . If it is 1 guy in 1 truck. they are allowed to go ahead and work. In the end there will be a cluster f**K of lawsuits.

Doubt it. Declared state of emergency pretty much let's a Gov. do just about anything.

Hey, I think I saw that guy in front of the market the other day, but I'm not 100% sure - he was wearing a mask.

it's limiting a fair market. They allow one landscaper to cut grass. If there is 2 in the truck. They are stopped. I guess they could all drive in their own cars to a job site. If a property is large enough you could have 3-4 people mulch beds Asplundh is out cutting trees in force. Those guys are standing on top of one and other. My town has a bike path under construction. Those guys are working shoulder to shoulder shoveling asphalt. in the meanwhile septa bus riders must enter from the rear of a bus. Limit 15 passengers per bus 25 per trolley. no cash fares.

Doesn't matter - still have the authority to stop them. Reading through the limits here in VA, lawn care is listed as essential.......and I'd guess that shoveling asphalt is as well since I saw a large crew out yesterday. I just have to wonder how long it will take until all these 1/2 measures and exemptions blow up. Too many sad rich folks that don't know how to push a mower or even own one.

I'm now hearing that this could go on for several months, now weeks. If only good decisions had been made in Feb. Spain is apparently now passing Italy. Worldwide mortality is running ~5%. US looked to be about 2+%, but it's early. We don't have enough hospital beds and at the other end of the chain we don't have enough morgue space. Won't get the full plantings in this year and maybe decreased harvests all around; food could get tight. Looks like wildlife has noticed a decrease in humans out & about, too. Coyote out back in the middle of the day.....

'Too many sad rich folks that don't know how to push a mower or even own one.' rufus. This exact thing is keeping me busy. i'm working for a podiatrist. He is nonessential and stuck at home. 3 days a week i meet one of my guys at his house. He has a ton of yard work. almost a 1/4 mile of privet hedge to cut back,a driveway to wash and a pool to open. Large companies don't want to do it know. He gives us $400. a day to split and lunch. His wife filled their pool house with frozen bubba burgers and bread. We use the grill and sit across the patio from one and other. Next week i put gutter guards on his house

Ps. wildlife noticed. At the doctors house we talked about this. All the Canada geese have left his pond. Gone not one to be heard or seen. None nesting anywhere.

Technically he's a doctor per the Fed Gov. and could/should be at least volunteering to help at a hospital...........

Must be nice.........and at least you can benefit from his largesse...
