Just threw a chunk of some local beef in the smoker. Meant to do it yesterday but missed my window. The mouth is watering already!

Had my first salad in probably a month and a half last night. The grass in the yard was starting to look good.

I was supposed to be in Oxford a few weeks back. For a father daughter weekend.

I own one suit and it is corduroy. Has probably been 20 years since I wore one, and it was a rental for my sisters wedding. I look like Fabio in the pictures.

Possibly build model cars. Model rockets. Break out some paint and do a paint class. Build something in the garage and show them how to use tools. if it was my dad he would’ve put me to work doing something. Pulling weeds, cleaning, organizing, stripping parts, White washing fences. if that don’t work they will probably avoid you like the plague just for mentioning It.

I’m back to working all but full-time tattooing from my home studio. I be taking peoples stimulus checks left and right. :p

My wife’s company emailed this week and stated they would put everyone back on payroll for the next six weeks, until reopening. Sounded like there was going to be a bunch of new regulations in place as well.

Sounds like a good time to start busting out projects to keep the mind busy.

Sounds about as schizophrenic as Colorado weather. We get all four seasons in one day sometimes lol

My dryer duct is super plugged so I’m getting ready to buy one of these. https://www.vacsysint.com/product/reverse-skipper-nozzle-w-coupler/ I had tried to build one out of brass but it was too heavy.

At my shop where we burn through filters I just buy the cheap ones. That’s running AC and heat year round. And also close proximity to heavy traffic. They easily have a solid 1/4” of dirt after 4 to 6 months. At home I’m still running the re-usable one that was in there when I showed up. That’s only the furnace and less outside dust. It’s hardly dirty when I blow it out once a year. pretty good ends of the spectrum for comparison.

Haha thanks. I normally don’t complain. Was more showing sympathy and giving solace.

Without knowing the vehicle is hard to recommend an exact model. Sometimes one size bigger will fit in the same space, with little or no work. But you’ll have to measure. Any good AGM battery will be an improvement. If money’s no object I would either get an XS Power battery or a Deka. otherwise I personally am running a pair of AGM’s from O’Reilly’s ( Super Start iirc) and they are holding up well. whatever you do, don't waste your money on an Optima.

You and me both. It snowed all day here yesterday. I am waddling like a penguin this morning. King Kong has my spine. I’m so over it. ready for some hookers and blow in a bungalow in Bora-Bora.

There should be a reusable one available. Otherwise I’d just buy a pack of the cheap ones and change them accordingly.

I have plug-ins wired all around my garage like that. 2/3’s of it is done with regular romex wire just stapled to the wall. I added a breaker and a plug-in right next to the power panel, just so it’s not “permanent”.

Thanks brother. Should look good in my new office! (Garage)

A little more whitled in. All the specialty wood pieces installed to sculpt to the seat bottom, and pieces to support the inner edges of the side panels. Decided it should have drink holders like the other. THen ready for a second coat of paint. Thats where I'm at this morning.

I started on a second Mustang couch this week. Worked out the quirks I don't like about the first one. Got the seat a little more raked out for us taller peeps too. THe initial framework assembled... Seat and side panels installed! This one's getting a little something extra. Using these trim off of a 50's Ranchero bed top to cap the edge. Corner shot.

Love you too my friend. We both get plenty of sleep and eat healthy. lots of exercise. She knocks back at 6 or 7 mile hike every morning. Glad you think the speakers are sexy! I drool on them every time I look at them.

That’s the plan. I’m also willing to travel to their house. Honestly did not keep track of the virus thing until it shut me down. So I’ve just kind of been watching the numbers the last couple weeks to see how I wanted to proceed.

Honestly Matt I fear more for my wife. She takes Embral and has a compromised immune system like you. So I fear that I could easily carry it with no signs back to her. she is crazy though. Her doctor already told her do not leave the house. Send someone else to the store and have them change clothes and shower when they get home. Do you think she listens?

My wife made pizza’s with homemade dough last night. Extra good with the bread flour. Wish I could try some of your sourdough. Yes you should definitely send me pictures. I was having a pretty manic off week when you guys were here. I was bummed I didn’t get any myself. My wife got laid off a week before me but at least gets Job attached unemployment. Not that that comes close to covering everything, but is a start. She is super stressed out. I have a few ventures in the works. Wish me luck.

Killing it!

I think one big sharing point is paper money. I have no science to back that though.
