I did margaritas yesterday.  Neighbors sat on their side of the yard, we sat on ours, and we drank the afternoon away.  I was supposed to get some work done finishing out wiring my new shed/shop, but I guess that'll happen on some other day.

I mean, my wife is welcome to go in there, but then I'll put her to work planing or sanding some teak I'm using to build deck chairs, so...

In other news, the new season of Bosch is on Amazon'.  One of my favorites, I loved the books.  Welliver does a very good Bosch.

Ive been a fan of the series from the beginning
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

I finished Bosch last night, bummer.  I thought it was not as good as the previous seasons, but still better than most of the stuff out there.

The Last Kingdom is due out in days.  I think they did quite a good job with the books written by Cornwell, the changes were OK.  He is probably my favorite author of historical fiction.

I'm about to do the free trial of CBS's streaming service so i can binge-watch Picard, and then cancel it.

I spied a 4 pack of canned margaritas at the wine store and decided the wife might like them.  Ugh.  We still had one can left after 6 months or so and I told the wife I'd take one for the team, I poured most of it out.  Probably the worst I've ever had, and I tried to doctor it with fresh lime juice, no luck.

I tried the Fevertree tonic water and to me it tastes like the regular stuff.  The wife claims Schweppes is the best but it tastes like CD to me, no difference in a G&T.

The neighbor brought over a bottle of South African syrah last night, the wife was not a fan, chocked some down to be neighborly.  I fixed chuck roast in the hot pot.  I thought it was good, but the wife said she didn't like how stringy it is.  Huh.

I had some Evan Williams Single Barrel again, and I think it's a pretty good value relative to WR (which is better IMHO).

Another beautiful day in the neighborhood here.  The wife and I did 3.1 miles walking yesterday according to her phone.  It was really more strolling of course.

We chatted about how important it is now especially to have the park next door.  I wish they would reopen the botanical garden.  

https://atlantabg.org/

They claim to be closed until May 31.  I think they could reopen and limit the numbers of people allowed in, it's a large garden.  When we visit there usually are not areas with packed people outside the main building, which they could close.

I think one of the problems with all the shutdowns is that people think "hey, nobody is ever at the botanical garden, that'd be a nice little outing"...

Problem is that because it would then be one of the few things open, everyone else thinks that and then it's packed.

I think we've had some issues with hiking trails here in SoCal like that. It SHOULD be one of the easiest places to social distance, but if suddenly the hiking trails are being overrun because of 10-20x normal traffic (and some of them are singletrack so passing someone is hard to avoid 6' spacing), it kinda defeats the purpose. So some of the narrow trails were closed because of the sudden traffic surge.

Yeah, all the public gardens around here had to close shortly after the shutdown was ordered. People flocked to them. Same thing with the Lakefront/beaches. They were initially open. Not any more.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

The botanical garden can easily open with limits on numbers of people allowed inside.  They are colocated with the park, which is larger but also completely open.

The botanical garden has a single gate for entry and ticket sales and it's fenced in everywhere.  It's in yellow below.  We can walk all over the park and maintain distancing easily.
