7 in our county confirmed. 1 in the local hospital. 240 are forced quarantined. And it's snowing out...

Morning all - back in the office for today, probably Wednesday as well. Training new personnel. Our 2nd facility isn't considered vital, so plant 1 has to absorb something like 50% more personnel than we usually have, trying to keep our best workers employed doing productive things for the business.

Sounds about normal for anyone without Prime. The free shipping option through Amazon takes about 3-6 weeks for me the past couple years.

I still get pretty good results as long as it’s a Prime item shipping out of one of their warehouses. Outside that you are at the mercy of the vendors shipping time.

I feel for you

I have not been out since last month. But the weather is supposed to hit upper 80s this week, so I am definitely going to try and make it out

No need for a boat. Find a stream and do some hiking

Trout season just ended here lol... Texas Parks & Wildlife stocks a few locations across the state in Nov/Dec. Waters are generally too warm for any remaining trout by now, with the exception of the Guadalupe River below the Canyon Lake Dam.

Different experiences. Incomparable for the most part. There's some amazing fresh water fishing in the world. It's also a lot easier to find good freshwater fishing in my experience.

Ever do fly fishing? That's an art form.

I love fly fishing. I gave up every other form of fishing about 6 years ago. Stalking Bonefish on the flats is like hunting for fish. A truly unique experience.

Go to an Orvis store (after this whole virus mess calms down). They will teach you for free. Then go buy a cheaper fly setup from someone else lol; Orvis is expensive, but I buy from them because they have a 25 year no-questions-asked warranty for their rods and reels.

Basic casting is easy. There are several cast varieties that take a lot of practice to master though, but they are mostly unnecessary. The real difficulty is finding the right fly for your target and presenting it properly.

FPenvy · 03-23-2020, 09:04 AM

as much as i really enjoy working from home and not seeing people, i'm slowly getting over this whole virus thing.

with our crooked media and govt i have sooooooo much trouble trusting or believing anything i see anymore.

and if this non-sense ruins zdayz i may just go around slapping people who had anything to do with causing it this shite lol

Not in my experience. Ordered some Christmas presents before Thanksgiving last year. All Prime items in stock (they offered 1-day delivery if I signed up), advertised 5-7 day delivery and still took 3 weeks.

Some (not many) vendors are better than Amazon.

Seems to depend on your area and how many warehouses are nearby. Up until the Corona issue, it was extremely unusual for me to have to wait more than a day for my ordered items. Frequently, I qualified for same-day delivery.

Between Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio there is no reason any warehouse in-stock item should take more than a day or two to deliver. But they give priority to Prime customers, which means customers like me experience ridiculous shipping.
