Covid 19 pass times

And for anyone who's been through a basic training, I just finished my laundry and tried to fold my stuff like we did then and I'm pretty sure I'm getting washed back to week 1

I once listened to a Lauryn Hill concert from the parking lot while tailgating before other bands. She was great.

I thought you were going with the awkward kid in About a Boy. Love that movie.

I like it. By not going inside, you avoided paying taxes on the ticket and concessions. Which is how we honor Ms Hill.

Anyone here been to Zion or The Grand Canyon? I imagine somebody has.

Thinking about maybe doing a road trip for the weekend and those are the only two close parks i can think of. Is it worth it just to drive? Give me something to mess around with my camera.

One, a vacuum sealer for food. Which i know is exciting as hell.

 

Food sealer is great. Always very useful with a sous vide. You can separate out the large costco purchases, season the meat you are going to freeze, vacuum seal, and then stick in the freezer.

When you are ready to use, set the sous vide up to the right temperature and then just drop in the frozen package. Don't need to thaw...can let it run for hours (just check for recommendations on temp and how long to sous vide for the meat your cooking...add an extra hour or two if it is frozen). Works on pretty much anything.

I’m getting projects done around the house. No LL baseball, so I have all this free time. Replacing light fixtures, replacing outlets, ceiling fans, drywall, etc. Also, kids ruin everything and I’ve been drinking a lot

Both are fantastic. Zion you are photographing from the bottom of the canyon, Grand Canyon from the top. Grand Canyon is the better photo option.

I'd double check though, some National Parks were closing because jackasses wouldn't stay at home and kept driving in from out of state....

(also, they might be open but services are closed so you would need to see if any of the local places outside the park are open)

These kids today have it easy. I would have graduated on time, too if a global pandemic cancelled my finals. Lucky bastards.

Lol, i know i know... freaking dumbasses cant stay home. But i was figuring the parks would be wide open and mostly free of people... so safer than the target ive been hitting every weekend.

Id even be fine just driving somewhere out and about, doesnt need to be a park. Just something to shoot.

yeah, what is it with those dumbasses who won't stay home....

From what I'm reading the parks ain't free and wide open. Grand Canyon you can probably get away from people easier, it's a lot more spread out, you'd just need to stay away from the viewpoints and walk along the edge. Zion is very trail based, some of them very narrow and crowded.

Eastern Sierras are begging people not to go up there, Bishop/Lone Pine have been overrun with people, or at least they were a week or two ago.

Death Valley might be a good time. Did you do that last year? Didn't we talk about you going there? Right time of year to go and fairly easy to stay away from people. Biggest challenge would probably be lodging and food there. If you can camp and have offroad, Mojave National Monument might not be bad. Kelso Dunes and other surrounding areas.

Id be open to it. Its fairly close right, couple of hours? Maybe i can get in there just sort of daytrip it and then turn back for home.

Zion was dope. Drove through it when a buddy and I road tried to Salt Lake for a week long snowboard trip. Just a drive through, but looked worth a visit and spending more time.

Just watch out for the aerial and highway speed traps.

I don't make marinades or season before sealing enough. I've done some solid steak marinades and left it overnight and it came out fantastic with sealing ii all into the meat.
