This is somewhat reloading related so bear with me.
I went to see my CPA for our tax return and we ended up chatting about coronavirus and impact on economy. I found out he's a shooter and we talked about reloading and compared notes on load development for pistol and AR loads.
Turns out he owns the local micro brewery and restaurant and really worried about lives of 40 employees as they are only doing take our orders due to coronavirus (Area stores sell his canned beers/ales). I told him wife and I like the place and would definitely increase support for the business that utilizes locally sourced supplies (local farms, dairy, bakery, cheese maker, etc.).
Wife and I have an ongoing "Pay It Forward" retirement fund and we now decided to aggressively use the fund to help support the local economy (I have a separate shooting/reloading budget and have supported local gun stores and various online manufacturers/vendors since retirement). After leaving his office, I stopped by the brewery/restaurant and placed lunch order for wife and I (Corned beef burger and cheese curds with sweet potato fries with blue cheese/ranch dressing) with a hefty tip even though it was a take out order while enjoying a pint of their limited special ale waiting for the food to cook (I was thirsty and ale was very refreshing).
My CPA stopped in for lunch and to check on the workers and I left with a 6 pack of blond ale.
So let's help our economy recover by supporting local businesses.
If you have any shooting/reloading related items on your bucket list, BUY THEM NOW because you know, life is short and we are all going to die and stuff.
