Good for you, I have a couple of those myself! :)

This one is for Mrs. 847. No computer now that she is retired/repurposed. I'm a Surface guy, but those are too expensive for what she needs/wants.

I'm just annoyed that the stay at home order had to happen last night. I worry that's going to trigger another round of panic buying, and all I want is to get the meat necessary to run through a decent menu over the next two weeks.

no lockers or butcher shops in Cali?

Those who owe taxes now have until July 15 to file and pay.  Great move!
I filed an amendment last night due to a 1099 coming in the mail late

I'll wait until July to send the check for $700

I just got laid off until this all blows over. Sucks, but I sorta saw it coming. I make helmet decals, and no one is playing sports; nor are any schools open, and they are the bulk of our customer base obviously.
Well my family has now been hit with a layoff as well.  My wife got laid off last night.

Sorry to hear that, hang in there.

We don't have a layoff, but while my wife's clinic is closed down, she's not getting paid.  As soon as they reopen, she'll be paid normally as per usual.  Assuming her clinic makes it, of course.  It's a private shop, no corporate backing, so if they're not seeing patients, there's no money coming in, and they still have to cover fixed expenses.  If that goes on too long, they'll go under.

Anyway, we're down to just one income for the duration.  We have savings to cover, but scrimping and saving is now the name of the game.

I'm in the same boat for about the same amount of money. They can wait until July to get my money. I also have been doing my part for 33 years. A couple of months on this one won't hurt them.

As for helping my country, they've been making money off the interest of what they've forced me to pay in, all year long.  And all year long every year before that, for the past 32 years, since I've been working and paying Federal taxes.

If they didn't save that money and spend it wisely, it's definitely not MY fault.

The lamb burger was tasty.  They are doing a pretty solid business over there with take out.  They are set up on their patio, so you go up to the low brick wall and collect your order.  I left a nice tip and thanked them, and dropped of my neighbor's burger.

I'm drinking a can of IPA my neighbor insisted I take, it's rather hoppy, from Catawba, NC.

Oh I got it.

Just felt like soapboxing a bit.

I think "we" should note an exception to anything OAM posts forever.

There definitely are. I have a really awesome butcher shop just a few miles away: El Toro Gourmet Meats

It's where I go for "special occasion meat" though, usually, due to price. In a couple weeks my wife and I have our 2 year anniversary, and we planned to go to Ruth's Chris... Thinking that's not an option. So I'll buy her the $32/lb filet mignon and buy myself the $24/lb ribeye and grill it myself... But I'm not feeding the kids from that joint!

I hit Costco this morning. I got really lucky in that I thought they opened at 9:30, when they open at 10, and I showed up at 9:30. But they apparently have started letting in normal shoppers after the 8-9 AM "senior hour", so I walked right in. When I left at 9:55, it was like a flood of people into the store because they were coming for the normal store opening time.

No chuck roast or pork tenderloin, which was annoying. But I managed to get flank steak, some baby back ribs, and a rack of lamb. They didn't have fresh ground beef, but I realized they sell 5# bags of individually-wrapped 1# chubs of ground beef. And it's 85/15 rather than their usual 88/12, which I prefer. 

Given that I end up portioning out the big packages of fresh roast beef, vacuum sealing, and freezing it anyway, I'm going to be looking for this stuff in the future. 

I think we're all set on groceries now. Absent maybe a run to the normal store for fresh produce next week, we're good on meat/fish/etc for the foreseeable future.
