that dog's expression says "im not falling for the peanut butter on your dick again'. trust me i know that look.
Oh! I also like it out there. I really like the palisades and of course mountain biking in Fruta. Id love to drive out there to take the kids biking this weekend but I guess thats not really recomended
As long as you maintain a "social distance" there are people out at the trail heads parking for mountain biking. They're closing the facilities at some places.
If you do and want to stop by here for a beer let me know.
On March 29th, I was supposed to be at my 50th birthday party thrown by my wife and friends in Javea, Spain. Instead, I was at home with 3 bottles of Mollydooker's The Boxer (Shiraz), Netflix, a couch and my wife by my side waiting on the call from public health on our covid-19 swab results since coming in contact with 2 confirmed infected people.
Hell... I had my 40th birthday while I was in the Middle East for 27 months so with all that is going on now, I'm living my best life.
When life gives you lemons... just add some vodka... Cheers...

i keep hearing the governor say to stay local and not to visit the small mountain towns.
I guess i should respect that but I think a camping trip out there will be one of our first family trips once thigs calm down
I live in one of those type of towns. Not to sound harsh but, stay away and leave the locals alone right now unless you are passing through. Do not go and buy our groceries or other supplies as this is our local stores and we are avoiding the city like well....the plague.
I will stick to my county. There are plenty of place to bike in JeffCo. but I have to be honest. Its been a little of two weeks and I dont know how im supposed to keep this up for what? 4 more weeks? 6 weeks?
Indeed. If they're already insulated by lower population and trade, there's no sense bringing whatever you've got into their community.
It's not just about staying home. People really need to stay in their towns. It's not difficult.

I own a home on the outskirts of a small mountain town. We were there when the declaration was made. My job made me come back to the big city. I left my wife there because of her asthma issues. I have been shipping her boxes of groceries to limit her trips to that little town. However, infrequently, she has to go into town. Some of the locals see out of town plates and are displeased. She gets it, so far nobody has been openly disrespectful.
At this time, I'd just have her swap plates for a local unit. Technically illegal, but better than being accosted in a parking lot in about a week.

I made a decision early on that I wasn't going to run out of 1) my preferred booze, 2) good wine for dinner, even if that dinner ends up being canned peas. I've been holed up working remote, but the only risks I've taken so far have been adding to that stockpile as this thing drags on. Been careful, worn gloves, etc, whatever, but I underestimated what I would need, so I had to make a wine run the other day. I just figure I'm not going to ride out the apocalypse without good wine. YMMV.
Should we emerge out of this thing and bounce back, which we obviously will - just not sure when, I am going to build a wine cellar so I'll never be in this situation again. (And I'll have a little cabinet in there where I'll keep TP
)I don't listen to our governor. He is a dork. Just practice good hygiene and stay away from people. Staying away from the tourist epicenters is CO is wise. I do not think that grand junction is one of those areas. But I don't really trust hotels. Definitely would need sanitizing and would keep the do not disturb sign on the door for the entire stay.

Life is too short to drink cheap beer. Been saying that for about 40 years.
Some very wise french man told me years ago, you really have to buy 2 bottles of wine per day otherwise you will someday run out.
Is'nt it easy to calculate. IMO, just t start buying a lot. When you have abou 6 or 7 cases, you are probably OK for a 6 or 7 weeks. LOL.
You can now buy 12 rolls of TP per day here again. TP, Chicken and beef are now available. Two weeks ago nothing.
Last time I did go out, I hit mexican restaurant and they now can do takeout margs. Outstanding!
Find out when the deliveries are to the liquor store. Negotiate a large purchase while the wine truck is in the parking lot. High margin stuff can be had at major discount if it is on hand and the manager of the liquor store does not need to keep it as inventory. Worked well for me the first time, now that I know the owner well, I can just order quantity at nice discount. He will even deliver now.
I've lived in small towns most of my life. I understand what you're saying. Let the local law enforcement know, also make a call to pastors/priests. In a small town word gets around quick. I have a feeling once everyone understands the circumstances that attitudes will change.

If you're carrying the virus but have no symptoms, it'll keep most of the virus to yourself.
