As my fort material diminishes I am understanding the concept of hunker down.
My old 2002 F150 is still doing fine. I drove it on a 6,125 mile vacation trip from NC to Montana last summer. So, I'm not quite ready for a move up to Dodge yet. My gold digger wife won't let me out of the house. She does all the shopping for toilet paper. She doesn't want to lose my income.

From: the moral high ground
My wife drives me to the store. She has 300 feet of rope and ties one end around me and the other to the bumper. I have to retrace my steps.
I see other husbands attached to cables or chains but they give me a wide berth because my wife is known to have a short fuse.
And believe me, nothing is more degrading or humiliating than getting dragged down aisle 7 on your butt.
There is no time to read soup can labels when she is idling in the parking lot behind a V8.

Aisle 7 at our grocery is the femine hygiene aisle, with any luck at all you could grab a maxi pad and cushion your fall.

How to make a face mask without sewing:

I used version 1. All you need is a t-shirt, safety pin, and a coffee filter or paper towel.

Hope this Social separation of 3 to 6 yards helps the Meds get all the safety PPE they need and we can get opened back up with things like isolation cubicles made from plastic pipe, Clear Polycarb , tees and elbows and glue. + real good ventilation for the work place.

The small NC county I live in has about 235k residents. So far 140 have tested positive, 80 have recovered, and 3 have died. There have not been any new deaths in the last month or so. Time to open everything back up!!!!!!!!!!

I'd love to get into the custom build side of the auto industry. I really enjoyed the custom aspect of building my truck, and I think I have some talent to be tapped.

I do have a solid lead on a new job, but haven't been offered for sure, and I haven't decided if its really what i want or not. Not trying to be cryptic, just don't have much to talk about yet
