I'm working more than I have since 2016 when I was racking up a 66 or so hour week once a month.

Has not, you human-faced human! 
Hiking trails were packed when TPgate started, but I have taken my brother for a few walks and we hardly needed to cross the road to avoid anyone.
From the genius that brought you:
The homemade hoverbike!
The jet bicycle [danger is a selling point!]
The Assassin Creed's hidden blade! [it hides, but the contraption is huge!]
The backyard underground apocalyptic bunker!
The ice bike!
Wait, what? When did he slip that out?!
The underground beach hut build?! He got twenty million views for digging in sand and screwing together plywood? I expected him to explode the sand out of the hole, build a jet-powered augur, or something. No, he used a, what is the technical term?
Ah yes.
Shovel.
I bet that I could build a full underground summer cottage and I would just get one comment, "I never loved you!" and it would be my mom!
Knowing how YouTube works I would have one comment, but zero views.
Then you get to his automatic Wolverine claws, a bicycle made of springs [but not the wheels! Slacker!], the homemade hydraulic Hulkbuster, and a bunch of videos with rockets, jet-powered vehicles that should never be powered by a jet, the high-voltage ejector bed, staircase treadmill?!
When did he do that?!
The BMW hot tub!
So many more incomprehensible videos with homemade jets, rockets, and making things go fast that should never go fast.
Anyway, yes, that guy. From that genius:
You can exercise while staying six feet away from everyone and you do not need to worry about injuring yourself and ending up in the hospital!
I am pretty sure the staircase treadmill was safer!

Wouldn't turn an eye in Portland with how common those bikes are. Good time to own an inconvenient bike I guess. I've seen a handful of his works and am always impressed, mostly with the fact that he hasn't killed himself. |

Allegedly he is 41 [Google confirms]. It seems like 90% of his videos are dangerous. What was the King of Random's percentage?
How did that work out?
[He got bored, retired, and failed to miss the ground]

Mine more conservative, but I failed a dismount and had to get stitches in my left elbow. Did you know the superficial facia in your elbow is yellow?

I want to see the highcycle on the back of a car!
Did I mention the time that I saw my knuckle?

You'd want to lay it on the roof. Like this (same bike, different SuperB):
I worked in a pizza parlor when I was in college. Ran my left hand into the pizza dough roller and split open the first knuckle on my middle finger. The only time I've seen one of my bones.
The receptionist at the hospital became my wife six years later. That didn't last, but I've still got the scar.
(I wish the Shantung Gold Superbeetle looked that clean today)

Benefits of COVID-19...
We have had 3 weeks of blue skies with no con trails. No clouds at all on the majority of days. Could be coincidence, but I've never seen this before.
And blue is hard blue. Even close to the horizon it's still blue instead of grey or yellow as was common. Yellow sunsets (instead of red). The air is really much cleaner than ever.
And less noise. Working from home I hardly drive at all, and going outside in the garden or for a walk it is all birds and hardly anything else. My tinnitus got less!
