   Cabin fever is real.  There used to be (maybe still is) a machinist get   
   together called Cabin Fever where various hobbyists and on-line   
   machinist personalities would get together to break up that doldrum.   
   They would mostly perforate the poop, but there was also some horse   
   trading, and maybe a friendly competition or two.  Never went myself.   
   Winter in SW Arizona is to nice to waste it visiting folks in snow   
   country, but they posted a few videos that looked like fun.  Like seeing   
   who can dial in a part the fastest in a 4 jaw chuck.  Stuff like that.   
   FYI:  The one I watched Adam Booth was fastest on the 4 jaw.
