Dealing with the boredom

[410001661]

Hi Guys,
How are you dealing with the boredom of being isolated. I am still working, but not at 100% capacity - there is only so much eLearning, and WebEx meetings you can handle in a day. My turkey gun is cleaned/lub'd and the vest is all set for the 25th, my spring cleaning is almost done, my man cave is re-organized, my dog gets x2 runs a day, and I am binge watching the following:

- The Walking Dead
- Ozark
- Jack Ryan
- Animal Kingdom (amazing series)
- Homeland

Anyone have any good books that are a MUST READ? My last good book, that was not work related, was Through Black Spruce by Boyden.

Thanks for sharing guys - John

There were some comments when I asked about the 14 day and their plans here.

.... as for me... well continuing working changed to.... how do you apply for CERB... , gardening has been busy, also time to dust off some books until my son gets done his exams (studying in the office space in the basement, the couch has MY butt imprint for now (till I head out to garden) and the lap pad for laptops works real good) then cleaning up the work room, fly tying and some wood work and the weights/bag/archery target are down there too. History and flying there seems to be an abundance on the "to be read" pile, the new 3 on top are a history book by Robert Spencer and one on... the Mosquito... and the recent book by Michael Youssef, they are on the top.

P.S.
I'll ask here first before I start a new thread.
My wife and myself had the usual fight today, I want to make the vegetable patch bigger and she likes grass..... in a 40'X60' back yard.... my veggie patch is about the size of the couch... (2 seater). Her lillies are twice the area, the veg patch was bigger but half went to golden raspberries (which she likes and i think they are good so not a complaint) and she "temporarily" replanted some flowers there 3 years ago (Iris's from my Grandfather's house)... and then she used 2 rolls of sod. I would say half of it is partial sun, 1/3 mostly shade even through the summer. Still reading...? I wanted to know what people plant for shade/partial sun vegetables, there are some youtubes and I have looked into Morel mushrooms for the complete shade part.

So anyone tried Morels, any growing/sourcing suggestions? Shade/Partial sun veggie suggestions?

I've been preparing a garden about 3x the size I've ever done, also reading some different books. Doing plenty of cleaning/ organizing.

Im still working 40 hours, not sure what I'll do if that stops. There's no option for recreation in my neck of the woods.

Potatoes should be in the ground now.

I grow lettuce[mesculine mix] and Swiss Chard [Bright lights] successfully in the shade as well as beans.

Lol, quite the difference between your garden and mine. If you want to come plant potatoes here bring dynamite! There's still a 4 foot snowbank where my potatoes go.

Potatoes.... good idea, before the flowers arrived they did good there but room for 3 or 4 plants at most ... lettuce and Chard ...then there is the next issue, before I sprinkled the hair (cat and mine, out of blood meal) on the tulips the rabbits already eliminated most of the tulips leaves, where the chicken wire around the roses fell over from snow, mostly tiny stumps ... I can put some of the chicken wire up around that small of an area easy so I may go with that. I can cut some in half and still have access and block the rabbits. I won't need the height since there is no snow piling up

Think tannerite might work?

Read "Last Centurion " by John Ringo.

For reading material, any Wilbur Smith is good if you like historical/geographical stuff. Usually about S.Africa or E.Africa as well as Europe, with many having an outdoors theme. Have reread more then 1 of his novels, and that is not something I do for very many authors. Always seem to learn at least 1 interesting survival/nature fact in every book.
Once you start a book, it is hard to put down, and luckily he has many novels out in print.
