Apart from online window shopping (and some purchases), I've been doing house chores, cleaning the backyard and trying to get back into running.
Surprisingly easy to keep the distance running around the block of residential area, since most people are inside. It's weird when I drive past botanical garden, there's always so many people running and in close, they drive and park there and run there in purpose, and allowed.

This is the third run of the once a week run/jog. Just over 4km in 20 and a half minutes. Not bad. Used to run 5 to 7 km.
When this is all over, I'll be more fit than ever to go fishing, kayaking, do a long bush walk and wade.

Just did some work on my cheap jig head case, made it so i can see hook sizes and weights better by cutting them from the packaging the jigs came in.

What to do being House Bound

Post by russellh2 » Sat Apr 18, 2020 8:55 pm

Trying to learn how to cast with a bait-caster setup in backyard - Started out very very bad - now I am just bad - 50+ years of using trout spin gear, then having a go at bait-caster setup - Not an easy transition - Getting too old to keep climbing of Garage roof to retrieve erratic cast sinker.

now painstakingly deleting every damn messenger message one by one, as there isnt a Delete all function.now
