A khaki 100% wool blanket and a lightweight sleeping bag with a zipperable bug net around the face. They're replacing a bag that's either too hot or too cold in a hammock.

Having new eavestroughs installed.

I think Americans call the gutters.

The kind with a "leaf guard" system.

They are almost done, but they had to wrap up for the day.

The buses will be skipping plenty of meals too...

Nah, I am only kidding. I can afford gasoline.

Coincidentally, I made a joke about it with my wife today when we were driving home....I saw the price was about $1.88 per litre and I said "How much gas do we have?" and she said "Half a tank." and I said "We are going to have to start saving for a fill-up soon."

Even if you have a full tank at the ready or reserves, you won't be allowed to burn it in a vehicle....

I could be wrong and I hope that I am, but from all indications shown to a few friends and their "employers", we're already in a slow walk shutdown that would put COVID putting its dick into a 1929 market look like a Chucky Cheese party....

I believe this is an expedited controlled collapse and the puzzling part is why and why so fast...

Take from that what you want or don't.... mooooooooo'
