| Because of this Pandemic.......
Before a mod wannabe chimes in with a useless comment, I believe this thread will give another angle to this pandemic that has turned this world upside down.
Also, please refrain from telling us about how you lost your income. That can be posted in one of the other 6 threads on the subject............ nuff said. A list of closures - be it limited or outright permanent. It could be minor. Whatever affects you. It could also be positive.
==================================
I just found out that Record Store Day that was slated for April 16th has been moved to some later date in July. Most likely not happening, either. I was so looking forward to this day. Oh wells.........
Mission Raceway has for obvious reasons, cancelled today's Street Legal, Test and Tune, and tomorrow's T&T/Gambler's Race. Probably all future events for quite some time. Everything until end of April is cancelled. May races are still a go, but it'll most likely not happen. https://missionraceway.com/events/
Good news for golfers. The courses are open. At first, I was like, WTF? But, when you think about it, social distancing is totally possible. Plus, the type of people who are on the links are pretty responsible.
There's talk that the postponed date for the Tokyo Olympics might not be good enough. https://nationalpost.com/pmn/health-...-clouds-future
And, the border closures are so sad........... no more Trader Joe's trips. Gulololol.

I do a Trader Joe's run twice or thrice a year for pantry items, and now that I am out of Trader Joe's goodies, I've had to resort to Whole Foods and Farm Boy for the equivalent.  #FWP
Regarding track days, I had my Boxster prepped for the upcoming HPDE day with the local PCA at Mosport, only to find out 12 hours later track season is pretty much cancelled until July, if not, longer.

Not officially announced yet, but most likely the PNE will be shut down. Sorry, son, no trip with the old man this year (again). https://www.pne.ca
Just found out that Neptoon Records is holding the event, where you can have your order delivered or dropped off within a specified area on Main Street. https://recordstoreday.com/Store/4130
I imagine other stores will be doing the same.

Regarding track days, I had my Boxster prepped for the upcoming HPDE day with the local PCA at Mosport, only to find out 12 hours later track season is pretty much cancelled until July, if not, longer. | I stocked up on Trader Joe's freeze dried strawberries. Have about five bags left. Expiry dates in 2021. I found some up here, but they are from china........... ewwwwww..... um, no thanks.
My sugar free creamers that are only available in the US (Fred Meyers, Winco, Walmart)........ I have three bottles left. Will last for two months. Need to cut back and only use it every once in awhile.
And, laundromats on both sides of the border. I will feel so dirty. Withdrawl syndrome - the shakes, lol. I play on-line games, but not the same. How is BCLC going to fund all the various charities?

Farmers markets, which I really got into the last two or so years, are affected. But they are finding ways to make it work. People coming up with creative solutions. https://eatlocal.org
Riley Park and Hastings Park are open???????? https://eatlocal.org/covid-19-update...rkets-april-2/

The rally events I've seen have been cancelled or postponed. e-racing is filling the gap somewhat, lots of drivers are organizing their own events or mini championships on various platforms. I was about to swap my car back to the street setup before I realized there's no point as I'm not driving it anywhere anyways.

I did start the car last week, so the motor still turns over which is good.
I think my Hoosiers will become hockey pucks before i get to use them.

Border closure means much less choice in shopping, especially online for those items that ship to states only. Feeling this one quite hard.

My appointment with USCIS was delayed. This was the appointment where they figure out if I'm worthy to be 'murican or not.
How much bigger does my handlebar mustache have to be for them to figure out the answer is "Probably"

My follow up with the doctor is put on hold. Still have a 5mm kidney stone and was suppose to go back to the clinic/hospital to see how to remove it. Now is put on hold and not sure when I will get an apt. I am pretty sure there is a ton of people in front on me. I just hope this kidney stone won't turn to a giant one that I had a surgery to take it out (it was at 3cm)

Hastings farmers market is run really well and they enable social distancing pretty good but I don’t really feel like standing in line to get in anymore. Some of their vendors are still doing delivery as well
Fuck that’s gonna be soooo fucking wack is the PNE is cancelled.

Our daycare is basically closed to all except those who are essential workers.
Positive - we are saving over $2000/month and we're spending 'quality' time with the kids. My youngest who not yet 3 has learned the alphabet. My goal with the other kid is to teach her how to read basic words before she starts Kindergarten.
Negative - I wouldn't recommend working from home if you have young kids.
