What have you done to your other vehicles today.

[carpoor]

Been pecking at the GMC in my spare time... replaced all brake lines, rotors & calipers, master cylinder. New fuel lines, pump assembly, and filler neck. New spark plugs yesterday, it fired right up and ran smooth as silk. Going to dive into the rockers and cab corners this week coming. (I am on "vacation" the 10th - 16th) Might as well get it done....

Ain't done nothing. Weather here has sucked. 80 degrees last weekend, in the 20's over night last night. Once we get some nice weather, for more than 1 day, I guess I'll try to get the boat running. Hasn't been run in years but our daughter lives on a lake. I can put it in there and use when I want.

Did you get any remodeling work done on her place over the winter?

I hear you. I bought begonias today because the frost over the last 2 days killed them. I haven't started my boat either.

Boat dock isnt in and the river is still flooded.

Last year by now I blew up the boats motor and was putting in the warentee motor by now.

Well we've had 2 days this week, again tonight, with temps in the 20's. Highs should be 70 or close to it. Today was a wapping 58. At least it was sunny. Lynda drove the zero turn around the yard and I weed wacked. Nothing exciting but at least we were outside not locked in the house.

Mother nature is being a bitch. The corona virus keeps you at home and the weather keeps you inside. Guess we pissed her off.

I told my brother the weather was our fault because we got boats. Like rain when you wash the car.

I did yardwork today. LOL weed whacker was idling sounded fine and locked slick up. I went ad got a new one. Old one was in the garbage at the curb I got it running it lasted 11 years so no complaints with it. She was a faithful ol girl for alot longer than I expected.

River is going down so maybe the dock will go in. It is going to be 80 it says tomorrow. I replanted the begonias that froze. I put the old ones in back by the drive in case the live. I will water them.

I am with you on the corona virus thing. It is over. Wife is a nurse. No new cases at all almost. All the old ones are healing and going home. The early ones that were fatalities went fast in the beginning. It really seems if it was going to get you. It already did. For the rest of us it isnt as bad.

I still havent started the boat tho. Once the dock is in and the temps are right. It is supposed to rain for 2 weeks. Like you said Mother nature is pissed. I don't know what i did but i swear i am sorry.

Hope you all feel fine and are safe.

I got the money for the motor now. I am waiting to see how this virus nonsense plays out. Dont want to spend the money then need it because the economy took a dump over this. Car been close to 20 years now in the making another 6 months or so on this wont hurt nothing.

Well I sure hope I don't have to go that route to get our boat running again.

[Hank70SS]

Well the economy already took a dump. How many businesses that were forced to close will even reopen? If restaurants can open at only 25% or 50% capacity, how long can they manage that? They're leases or mortgage payments aren't going to be cut to 25% or 50%. Property taxes, insurance and other fixed costs won't be cut. Even if they do open all the way, how many people will feel safe going there?

I think the virus is real, but I worry more about what this country will look like going forward. Our county has a very low infection rate so I'm not worried about catching it. Other parts of MI are a lot different. Brighton usually has a high volume of traffic downtown, lot's of restaurants and small businesses. Drive there now and it looks like a ghost town. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

They have made choices that will destroy the country. But this is normal for the system. They get their money is all they care about. The little guy can lay in waste.
