Gym Open

[Cotton]

Went to the gym last night.

Only about 5 people in there but it felt good to be out of the house. That's my escape/happy place.

Glad they're letting janitors back to work, Cotton.  Hope you cleaned it up good after those 5 guys left.

2 of them were females.

Don't be bitter that Lonoke doesn't have gyms. I'm sure you could flip some tires at the truck stop if you want to get a work out in.

Got Meth-houses.

Much more of a workout.

That monopoly money you gave me in '97 don't count, so your streak is longer than you're admittin'.

Better weight loss I hear.

[DoubleReedHawgCaller]

Better weight loss I hear.

Yeah, but the side effects can be a mofo I'm told.  I'll stick to the 12oz curls.

Over here in Shelby County, TN, we get to start working out again at our local Orange Theory next Monday (5/13).  But they've got all kinds of new social distancing and sanitizing practices in place.  It's going to be pretty different from before the shut down; heck, they are even saying we need to wear a mask while using the treadmill.  And they're going to take your temperature before you walk through the door.

Night #2 in the gym was just as empty.  Maybe like 6 people total in the gym at 6pm.  Compared to normally crowds of 40+ and that's not counting the classes that are all separate.

This is the reality.  Even when things open back up, doesn't mean people will go back to doing what they used to do.

I would love for it to stay this way, but I'm not naive to think that gyms can stay open with this type of model.

the beauty of free markets, some will some wont.  those that are open will accumulate the clientele of those that close. and the industry will continue.

I'm just glad they are reopening, which will allow the free market to find the new equilibrium.

where do they put the thermometer?

Day #3:

I'm sore as a sumbitch. 6 weeks off the gym is kickin' my ass.

A few more brave souls showed up last night.  About 10 people total at 5:30pm.  2 good lookin' females for some extra motivation.

[Jackrabbit Hog]

In the medicine cabinet, you idget.

10 Fitness is requiring a mask the entire time except when you are preforming an exercise.

They don't take your temperature, but they do ask you the same dumas questions every time you show up.

"Have you been out of the country in the last 14 days?" - No dumas, I was here yesterday and told you that.

Dummies.

So you're lyin' in that other thread!  I'm tellin' PRJ!!

False. I have not left the country. I handled the business in Juarez from El Paso, which is just across the border on our soil.

You working for PRJ? I would hate for his attorney to become wrapped up in this.

Trust me, PRJ is just a pawn in this whole shebang.  The real puppet master who pulls all the strings tends to keep a pretty low profile in the Tavern, probably because he's got some much more important stuff going on.

I can't say who it is, but his first initial is rice and his last initial is pig.

He's got the sway to do something about that.  He's Don Vito to Lanny's Fredo.

I once saw him at dinner in Jonesboro with Jim Walton, Warren Stephens, John Tyson, Johnelle Hunt, and Wallace Fowler.

He was either getting insider trading tips or buying likes.  He's known to do both.

It's still over a month away for gyms to open here in California and if I have to wear mask in the long term say like 3 months to 6 months from now I'll probably drop my membership.
