So a Bartender, a Priest, and an Anti-Lockdown protester walk into a bar... [LONG]
Ok, not a bar, because the bars are all closed. But I digress. So they walk into... I dunno, Wal-Mart, Whatever. Turns out all three know each other and start talking about the lockdown and how it has been affecting them.

The Bartender started by lamenting the loss of their income and social life, how they've had to adjust from their non-traditional working hours and wonder when they are going to be able to go to work again.

The Priest then talks about the absence of his congregation and the hit that the church has taken due to the lack of parishioners passing the collection plate, He then wonders when Sunday Services will resume and people will be able to worship together again.

Finally, the Anti Lockdown protester speaks up, (without a mask of course, because he feels that somehow violates his constitutional rights.) He talks about the selfish sheeple, choosing to live in fear, and complains that he can't take his dog to the dog park, hasn't been able to get a haircut, and worst of all, there's no where to slip out for an hour or so to go and grab a few quick beers with his buddies, to which the bartender knowingly nods in agreement.

They all agree it was good to run into each other and hope they can all get together and properly celebrate once the quarantine officially ends.

3 days later the Bartender attends a small family get together to celebrate their elderly grandparents 60th wedding anniversary. Since everyone there had been pretty well isolated for over a month, (except for the occasional grocery run, and that chance meeting at Walmart) it seemed to be safe and everyone had a wonderful time.

However, unbeknownst to the bartender and the Anti-lockdown protester, the priest was an asymptomatic carrier of Covid-19, who unknowingly passed it on to the other two.
The Anti Lockdown protestor later went to a freedom rally, spreading it to dozens of others, who continued to spread the virus throughout the community.
And 10 days after that, the bartenders grandparents were rushed to the hospital and soon died painful, protracted, isolated deaths, due to complications from Covid-19 because what? YOU THOUGHT THIS WAS A frickING JOKE??!?

Have a up vote Sir.

Hey Frog, once you have your boat ready, check out Old River in Pointe Coupee. Outstanding for boat riding and skiing.



Was super nice out there yesterday.

It’s been years since I fished Old River. I’ll put it on the radar.

Hopefully it cranks when I try it this am. I put in 5 gallons of SeaFoam treated gas yesterday and let it sit overnight. Battery has been on the charger too.

240 hp mercury 6 cylinder inboard.

It has a port to screw in the water hose to run it on the trailer.

I expect the smoke to be serious.

morning everyone...

frog, do you have a gas mask (a military one???)

when you get that motor running all I can think about is hearing metal on metal and the words "GAS!!! GAS!!!! GAS!!!!

Cof 1. Still on the Isle. The beach yesterday looked like freakin spring break in Daytona. ZERO mask and social distancing. It was amazing.

Caught over 100 trout in 2 days.

Tubing and day drinking today. May rip a few more lips

I think the real question is how was arties?
