How You Distancing Yourself?

This: My audio room is stocked with 38 bottles of red wine, 44 bottles of beer, a few liters of vodka, a box of Cohibas, 46,864 tracks on the server, 9 years of vacuum tubes, and 42 rolls of toilet paper. So I’m in good shape. I’m 3 meters from the speakers but sometimes those damn vocalists get too close to me. At least they don’t spit.

Is the vinyl on quarantine?

30 miles from town in the mountains->guard elk->gate->fence->trees->barn.

barn = fortress of solitude. with 2 stocked refrigerators (one for wine), my secret chocolate stash, 30 bottles of scotch, 3/4 bath, and the 'big rig' (click signature link below) downstairs. upstairs is all my workout gear, 65" 4k screen, lots of streaming video options, pool table, and photo processing spot. the wife will set food on the step when required. full home theater (10' wide 2:35-1 screen) in the house if i'm in the mood for risk taking.

social distancing? i'm the poster boy. it's my normal mode.

Nicely done sir.

Seventeen floors up - actually about 22 floors equivalency with 3’ of airspace between each floor, about 3,000 records, Tidal, 600 cds committed to my hard drive, a completely new system - oldest piece 3 years old. Free floating condo unit. No one hears me and visa versa. Also just got a second hand Sennheiser headphone amp to match my HD700 Sennheiser phones so private listening and public are equally fun in different ways. Now, if I only had more paper towels and toilet paper. Plenty of beer, scotch, and wine.

Having a dedicated music room is great. All I have to do is lock the door and hang a "Do Not Disturb" sign. I have enough music to play for the rest of my life, but sadly, my Scotch supply will run out eventually.

Gotta watch out for the horn players though when they blow out the water key!

Larder is stocked and we could probably go at least 2 months before we started getting low. Just the wife & I with the audio gear in the LR & her hobby in the spare bedroom. We're good.

Just opened a bottle of Anti Covid 19 Beer by way of Thelonious Monk Belgian Abbey Ale.

One look at the “What Are You Listening To” thread here and it’s obvious what I’ve been doing! Back to work tomorrow though - I have worked from home since 2001, so that’s nothing new for me.

I hope you don't get forced into deciding between using your record cleaning fluid to clean your hands or to clean your records - hard times, tough decisions will be made.

I'm allowing my cigar and pipe tobacco stash to slowly deplete, I'm already rationing in hopes of lessening my dependency.

Cutting my cigars in half before I light them has become the new norm. Put the cut end in your mouth so your are smoking in the same direction - directional just like some cables and speaker wires.

Since I've been exercising regularly for the last 4 years my need for booze to relax has substantially subsided. My 1800 Tequila bottle is down to the last six or so shots, should last six months.

Milenio Extra Anejo is good stuff

I’m a fourth generation small business owner that opted to shut our doors today for the first time in over a century. Amazing to think my great grandfather operated through WWI and WWII while 3 of his 5 sons were on the battlefield but only NOW do we have to close. Unnerving indeed.

I have my pipe, scotch and music, but most importantly I’m home with my four sons (6,4,2,1wk lord help me!) and lovely wife. I’m embarking on what may be the most time I’ve had off since I was 5.

Best of luck to everyone!

Enjoy it while you can. It'll most likely bounce back with a vengeance once this blows over. I'm now doing 6 hour days to help mitigate a short term drastic change in forecast numbers. I'm still whole though as I have about 50 days of banked vacation to absorb the shortfall. The upside is happy hour & tunes now start at 3 instead of 6!

I figure that 4,000 LPs and a like number of bottles of wine should see me through, without even having to start on the single malt! Listen to a record, both sides. pull a cork....repeat as necessary.

42 rolls of toilet paper.

Yikes! I really don't want to know why but you've got medical supervision, right?
We've never been a big operation despite 45 years of operation. So we're still doing what we do.

The title is how to distance yourself.
The answer is be safe distance your self for safety not fear .
So much miss information that it is hard to know the safest course of action
crawl in a hole and hide problem is who wants to live in a hole or hide
In my area all restaurants are closed other than take out nothing wrong with take out but i like options
Be safe but no concerts no restaurants no bars no live music no parties no movies temporally ok but it is a high price on the long term
stock markets fall and rise be safe but do not forget to live

I am observing from friends and clients alike that there is a need for reliable information. Great ppt by professor Michael Lin of Stanford Medical School on COVID. It is detailed but readable by layman. He also has a sense of humor (last slide states that we are not in zombie apocalypse).
