Memphis Quarantine Day 8, Little Free Library, Exercise, Day Off

How much did I do today? Not much. I basically took the day off since I had already done a lot during the last week. A few more Ebay items were shipped out by the postman this afternoon. I walked 35 minutes and ran 6 minutes today. Go me.

As we were walking in the Cooper Young neighborhood, we noticed several cars parked at a local restaurant with curbside service. I’m cool with that. Then I saw…

Memphis ONE WEEK in Quarantine, Ebay, Get Fit Memphis, Little Free Library

We survived ONE WEEK in quarantine, at least this household did. Apparently the fun part is just beginning. If that was one week, what will eleven more weeks be like?

Another busy day for myself. I am keeping very busy. The time is nearly 7:00 p.m. and I am just beginning to write this post up. My day? Waking up early I began to box items up to ship out. What sold on Ebay today? Super Mario…

Memphis Quarantine Day 6, Gen X Social Distancing Pro’s, Exercise, Ebay And the Postman, Video Games

Day 6 of quarantine Memphis, if you are counting. I know I am. From what I have read online, you’re pretty good up until day 7. On day 8 is where you start cracking up with cabin fever. My situation is a bit different than most others. I stay busy most of the day. Along with walking, I am listing items to sell via Ebay, going through my inventory bin by bin to make sure what I have listed is in…

Memphis Quarantine Day 5, Writing, Running, Cooper Young, Central BBQ, The X Files

Day FIVE of the Memphis Safer At Home quarantine. Hopefully you are doing something constructive while stuck at home.

Last night I was looking to find the X Files series on a streaming service. No, the series is not on Netflix. The whole series is on Hulu. Now here are the options; watch the series in complete order OR watch the series by favorite episode from best to worst. My wife won that…

Memphis Quarantine Safer At Home Day 4, Podcasts To Listen To, Exercise at Home, Ebay

Day FOUR of the series “Stuck in the house”.

The recap for today? We went for another 40 minute walk in Cooper Young this morning. It’s funny how you miss artwork while you are driving, but not when you are walking or riding a bicycle. I was able to run a few minutes at the end of my walk.

People are bored and sitting at home looking at Ebay. We sold two items for $27 yesterday. I’ll take it!…

Memphis Quarantine Safer At Home Day 3, Exercise & Running, Ebay, Book Suggestions,

For those of you counting at home, Friday March 27th is Day three of the Memphis quarantine. Didja get anything done today?

I started the morning working on Ebay. Someone purchased an Ole Miss glass today, which I promptly shipped out. The good news? I have two more to sell. I usually pick up Ole Miss products cheap at estate sales or thrift stores. You can buy them for $1 or less and turn around…

I realize that listing…

Memphis Quarantine Day 1 Safer At Home

Welcome to quarantine Memphis Tennessee. With all of this time off, it is now time to do all of those projects I have put off. Watch Netflix all day? Not happening, at least not yet. My list of things to do over the next few weeks:

Exercise – Think about it. If you run 1 minute a day, then add 1 minute to your run each day, you would be able to run for more than one hour at the end of quarantine.…

Memphis Bicycle Thief

I walked outside to ride my bicycle to Hueys for lunch today. As I was arranging my camera, radio, and a few other items I thought something didn’t look right. That is when I realized my saddle bag was missing. After further inspection, I discovered the saddle bag had been cut off with wire cutters. (The bag was locked on with a metal clamp to the bicycle)

Damn. All of my bicycle tools were in…

Zoo Brew 2016, How To Open A Beer Bottle, Cooper Young Beerfest, Netflix Slow Videos

Weekend Memphis. Zoo Brew anyone?

I have been to the Zoo Brew in the past. Good selection of beers this year. The crowd was dressed to impress and the event went well. $40 gets you a small cup to sample various beers. I hit up Einstok early on near the zoo entrance.

A very nice beer. But as I looked at the map, it appeared that many good beers were around the corner in the Zambezi River Hippo…

Shelby Farms, Second Line, Bicycle Bag, Mid-South Renaissance Faire

Day off number two. Bike ride anyone? I did a two hour ride; Shelby Farms and back ride. Nice ride, except I forgot my water bottle.

At least Tap Route kept me hydrated.

You can find these watering holes at Graham and the Greenline (south east side of the trail) or at Waring and the Greenline (again south east side of the street). These watering holes are a life saver when you forget to bring…

Weekend Memphis… no wait. That’s not correct. It is currently “my” weekend since I have to work the upcoming weekend. I’ve got beer, bikes and Shelby Farms for you.

The big grand opening for the Shelby Farms project is coming up fast. Just the other day as I was riding in the park, I found that those obnoxious chain link fences are coming down.

The new water fountains are operational.

I tried…

Second Line Memphis Lunch, La Michoacana, Lightning Cable

Since I had the day off and I needed some lunch, I remembered that Second Line (close to Overton Square) had a “$10 Get You Ass Back to Work” lunch special.

$10 for lunch at Second Line? I’m in. Me? I decided on the catfish poor boy and rice and beans. The meal comes with a beverage as well. So how was it?

The catfish poor boy was a bit salty. The rice and beans were good. Overall the meal…

Bass Pro Memphis TN Pyramid, Scoops Ice Cream, River Boat Ride, Hammer and Ale

Since the family is in town, I took them around to a few places in Memphis. Yes, BBQ and Elvis, but I also checked out a few things I normally do not go to. Fasten your seat belts, it’s tourist time.

First up? The new Bass Pro shop in Memphis.

I have been meaning to wander downtown to see the new joint, but have yet to do so. With time to kill, we headed inside.

Need a hotel room INSIDE the…
