The stay at home deal hadn’t really changed anything in my life till this week. I’m off of work till next Monday because it’s my turn to take a “rolling layoff”. Good timing as I have a ton of work to do on a few rentals. Also my heads should be done at the machine shop this week for an engine build. Just waiting for the rain to stop so I can get back to it!

Sorry but no MA. I was just making a joke. Besides I can't color worth a darn!

I took up Baking Bread...got about 12 loafs of experience so Faah. Finding yeast and flour is like finding a clean 64 GTO deck lid........

I noticed that when I went to the grocery store last week. Flour shelf was empty!

I been experimenting.... my best bread has been baked in a cast iron Dutch Oven.

How much whine, would a wine drinker whine, if a wine drinker couldn't drink wine?

I think one of the details to add to authenticity is to try not to make it too perfect. Neat and even is one thing, but you should try to put it on at a similar pace to which it was originally done, but im sure you know all of this.
One of my pet peeves is seeing 'reproduction factory marks' under hood, etc. on show cars. They always look like someone with the shakes and a full can of paint put them on. They could not look any faker IMO, and adds nothing and usually subtracts from an otherwise decent build.

If Sunday weather is as good as forecasted, I plan to try social-distancing while not staying home- by doing some motorcycle riding. Most of April was darn near 20 degrees cooler than normal here, so I haven't even been out yet.

I'm thankful for the low number of Covid cases here. In fact, I wonder if anyplace is lower. Phelps township's rate is 0.014%- one case in a population of 7,200. Any lower numbers out there?

Here in Cooke County Texas we have 3 cases for a population of 41000.
