Grim's Tales

I have accounts on yucata.de, boiteajeux.net, play.boardgamecore.net, and boardgamearena.com.

On all of them, I am Dagrim.

I'm often open to games, asynchronous ones most of the time, synchronous with pre-arrangement.

Free (well, it will actually cost you an email address) Murderbot diaries 1-4 (though only in the next couple days):

I have yellow-curry-pork simmering on the stove. We'll see how it turns out. (There was a pork tenderloin in the freezer. There was a tub of yellow curry paste in the fridge. No idea who's it was, but it still smelled good, so I used most of it. :) )

I played two games of Village as a play-by-webcam today. It works pretty well, though it does help if the remote players have a decent resolution image of the board for reference purposes. Oscar won the trans-Gatineau game (congrats Oscar, well done for their first game of Village) and I won the trans-Atlantic one.

So, I've got a bunch of un-split Manitoba Maple outback. I can do this solo, in full isolation. In fact, when swinging an axe, 2m is pretty well minimum distancing -- 5m is probably better. And it would get me outside, some exercise, and be productive.
Yet, I can't help thinking it might not be the best idea.

Room-mates, that is.

Today I got an email from the occasional room-mate that he has had a sore throat the last couple days -- so he's going to self-isolate at his other residence.

The other room-mate has been called in to work (in/near Montreal) for some field testing (actual outside) of equipment, so while he's been far more resident than normal the last couple weeks, he's going to be in Montreal for at least the next couple weeks.

So, even more lonely than it was here at home.

I went out to Lac Sam to do some route development, in the carefully-distant company of Simon. (We drove out separately, and worked on routes that were at least 2m apart from each other.) We were about 6 hours car-to-car, including some snowshoeing around to see if we could get to a cliff at the right end that has a big roof on it. We found a look at it -- it looks like a decent height cliff, so some interesting routes might go in.

I also have gotten more exercise today than I've had in weeks. I'm sure I'm going to feel it tomorrow.

desperate measures.

I'm cooking a whole double-batch of lentil-barley stew, enough to feed about 8 people, just for me.

I just called my parents to tell them they're not allowed to go out shopping. If they can't arrange delivery for whatever they need (groceries, pharmacy, whatever), then they are to call me to get things, rather than do it themselves. They sounded like they listened, but... who knows.

They're 82 and 85 -- I'm worried.
