    So it looks like the lock down here is not much of a lock down. Almost all the stores are staying open even the liquor store. They posted a list of things you can be out of the house for.
    • Go to the grocery, convenience or warehouse store
    • Go to the pharmacy to pick up medications and other healthcare necessities
    • Go to medical appointments (check with your doctor or provider first)
    • Go to a restaurant for take-out, delivery or drive-thru
    • Care for or support a friend or family member
    • Take a walk, ride your bike, hike, jog and be in nature for exercise — just keep at least six feet between you and others.
    • Walk your pets and take them to the veterinarian if necessary
    • Help someone to get necessary supplies
    • Receive deliveries from any business which delivers

    here a list of essential business

    • research and laboratory services
    • hospitals
    • walk-in-care health facilities
    • emergency veterinary and livestock services
    • elder care
    • medical wholesale and distribution
    • home health care workers or aides for the elderly
    • dental services
    • nursing homes or residential health care facilities
    • medical supplies and equipment manufacturers and providers
    • grocery stores, (including stores that sale non-grocery items like Family Dollar, Dollar General, Wal-Mart)
    • Auto repair shops
    • pharmacies
    • convenience stores
    • farmer’s markets
    • gas stations
    • restaurants/bars (but only for take-out/delivery)
    • hardware and building material stores
    • Retail To-Go: Stores that will exclusively deliver goods to customers curb-side.
    • Cell phone and electronic store
    • trash and recycling collection, processing and disposal
    • mail and shipping services (FedEx, UPS)
    • laundromats
    • home or building cleaning and maintenance
    • child care services
    • auto repair
    • warehouse/distribution and fulfillment
    • funeral homes, crematoriums and cemeteries
    • pest control
    • Property management company
    • skilled trades such as electricians, HVAC, and plumbers
    • commercial and residential construction
    • planning, engineering, design firms
    • Food banks
    • Homeless shelters
    • Banks
    • Newspaper/media
    • Rideshare companies: Uber, Lyft
    • MATA
    • Blood banks
    • Airports
    • food processing, manufacturing agents
    • chemical plants
    • medical equipment/instruments
    • pharmaceuticals
    • sanitary products
    • telecommunications
    • microelectronics/semi-conductor
    • agriculture/farms
    Not on the list but one gun store told me today they are staying open because they are an essential business, Damn right they are!

    The Governor said that people would be ticketed then backed up and said they won't pull people over they plan on going after the businesses. He said they are looking at using code enforcement to force them to close. I have asked a few stores I went in today if they are staying open the said yes. I was told a few days ago by one store the lawyers said they can't legally force them to close. I guess thats why the governor is going to sick code enforcement on them. The league Mob.

    So I hope everyone stays safe and well, just use your head.

    now back to fun things to do during the apocalypse :D

    Since you are doing social distancing and few, if any people are out and about anyway..let your governor close the Md. roads and just ride your bike on the sidewalks or bike paths. ;)

    Let's use this time off to learn the workings of the new MINI autotragic transmission. I'm sure this will come in handy.

    Los Angeles has done the same. Only stores or facilities permitted open are those who sell food or household goods. Most have abided by the rules.

    Idiots got the beaches shutdown as they kept partying there. Still runs on toilet paper (wtf)

    We were just informed this will continue until April 19 ... each week it’s pushed an additional week.

    Got in 70 miles on the bike yesterday. Maryland is officially shut down as of last night, so the bike will be sitting for who knows how long.
    Hooked it up to the battery tender and treated a full tank of gas. The R58 will get out at least once a week.

    Is this quarantine a conspiracy to get us to clean our houses? Hmmm.....

    Put German air in the bread vans tires. Switched to French air for the clubster tyres. I'm not driving much, but tomorrow I'm off to the doctor-drug connection & wanted proper air in the tires. o_O
