So What Is Everyone Doing To Pass Time

[flyboy08]

I bought a mandolin and banjo a year ago...I plan on mastering one of them by the time were allowed out...maybe I'll be good enough to play the NY subway stations

Cleaning guns, making ammo and sharpening knives. I’m going to have the sharpest knives in the country.

I’ve also been getting my KTM’s ready for spring. Installed a MCCruise in the 1190 Adventure R along with a Bluetooth adapter to connect to the MCCruise IPhone app.

Let's see HK has been locked down for a while, I've been working from home for 6 weeks now

Have figured out it's very important to put on pants and get out of bed otherwise my productivity tanks

I briefly went back to work for a week after HK and China stabilized but then the rest of the world blew up, we had a case in the office, and so back to work from home

My husband and I are driving each other insane from being stuck in our tiny 650sqft apartment day in and day out

We are both driving our cats crazy from the constant petting and picking up

I've exhausted my entire Netflix backlog and watched more TV in the past 6 weeks than I usually do in 6 months

I had my dive bags packed for a trip in April (now cancelled) since Feb

Had to cut my gym time to just 1 spin class a week to avoid going totally crazy

Stay safe everyone but take care of your mental health, for those in the US and Europe who just started social distancing it is a long long road ahead. You will REALLY start to feel it after 2 weeks.

Please recommend some hobbies I can take up at home- I feel like my brain is rotting from Netflix

Do you read? If you do, you don’t have to go out for books. eBooks! If it’s available in HK, get the Amazon Kindle app for your smartphone or tablet. Download books from there.

I’ve got plenty to read. Working on some fiction, as well as Great Lakes shipwreck books, which I have a good collection of.

Dove Carmel today, quite early. Two other people, on the South shore of the beach. About seven meters of visibility, at the drop-off. Social distancing was in the several hundred meter range.

Listening to Desmond Dekker, the volume set at the threshold of pain; and quietly mourning the coincidental loss of the great San Francisco music venue, Slim's (owned by Boz Skaggs), where I saw Dekker perform, back in 2005, shortly before his death . . .

1. hoping people ask more discussion worthy questions on here
2. steam cleaned and reorganized my kitchen
3. deep cleaned my saxophones
4. deep cleaning the rest of my place

still working as normal for me though, so I'm not trying to figure out working from home, but it's having everything cancelled for me mid-week and on the weekends.

Number 1 IS funny-- Passing time reading a thread about passing time.

Shore dive yesterday.

Hunting and gathering today. Cleaned a couple loos, as well.

Maybe sailing tomorrow.

Back to work on Monday.

I've been listening through my backlog of podcasts - a mix of groups of friends playing games, some crime/paranormal, history, and science podcasts. Also through my small apartment library of books I can't bear to not take everywhere but usually never have time to read (Lord of the Rings, the Kingkiller Chronicles) as well as books I was gifted but don't trust myself to read during school.

If online shopping is available in HK, some simple calming stuff is like adult coloring books, learning to knit or sew, painting kits, etc. If not but drawing is still interesting, you can pull up any spare paper and a pencil and some random object and practice shading/figures/reflections.

A lot of online programs (or just YouTube) host tutorials on graphic design, animation, computer science, and other things like that.

An old favorite for plague reading (got my Great Lakes shipwreck passion going in 1991)

I have a pile of books that I picked up during my trip to Japan last year, might be time to make progress on reading them.

ETA: They might last me a little longer than the AN/DP/Heliotrox textbooks, I burned through those in like two days.
