Those stuck at home: how are you avoiding cabin fever?

I've worked out for 22 days straight.
Been doing deferred maintenance on my other cars.
Learned a bunch of new stuff related to work, as well.

What about you?

I'm retired and got all my car maintenance done in Dec of last year (once a year oil change).
So I've been playing with my camera's and the new lens I got for Christmas.

I'm a recluse, so this is no different for me. I am used to staying home, playing with my dogs, and watching movies.

I live in the Sierra foothills and I’m clearing trees and brush and burning almost every day. Take my dog for walks on desolate trails near by. No cabin fever for me.

No, but close.
It's my Sony FE4/24-105 G OSS lens. It's been a great addition to my A7ii & A7iii.

My wife is sewing up some masks for us to wear when we go to the store.

I won't get into specifics, but my right arm looks like Popeyes.

I've been spending a lot of time watching YouTube videos and Blueray movies.

Walking everyday with my mum helps a lot. She's 82 and she can still look after herself.

What cabin fever? 76 trips around the sun, long retired. Other than missing the weekly trips to our favorite pool hall, live hasn't changed much for Cindy and I.

HO scale Marklin Orient Express locomotive and set of cars. A second set of cars is on order. Fully digital with a multitude of sounds, lighting and stack smoke. Please excuse the focus.

I’m still working all day, but with the place almost empty there are less people needing me for issues, so my office is starting to get organized.

Nice! My layout has been getting more attention than usual as well.

Walking the dogs six times a day. Morning walk I’m still wearing my pajamas. Another few weeks and I’ll be walking the dogs, wearing pajamas and holding a beer.

Nice engine! We have a train dealer here in town, who, if you show up with anything LESS than a Marklin will snub you

The funny thing about the new features that these engines have, is that you could extend the pandemic for months and I STILL wouldn't have time to figure out all the features!

Random pic of what I AM doing:





What I secretly WANT to be doing (DC-vintage Rivarossi and not Marklin- my local train guy would croak! Oh the agony!!!! ) :
