Vain, But Lacking Talent
Just learned back home there have been two different domestic murders this past week. One was a murder suicide, and one was just a murder. Both cases husband offed the wife.
Any chance this is a direct result of the quarantine?
Anybody looking at divorce rates right now?
In lighter news I get to go home today, have not actually gotten to do a ride in about 3 weeks so I am hoping that tomorrow morning before the rain comes I can get one in.
Fun fact since I have been back at work I have been stuck in **** weather. While at work non stop shooting approaches to minimums and moderate turbulence, (wx perfect at my house). I get home and the weather quickly turns to rain.
I blame velo for this case of terrible no good bad luck.
3 am off to work I go.

100 hours from meeting to production. Once the race teams energize, there's no telling what can happen.

I have to admit that I got used to riding the Cervelo naked: no tool roll, spare tube, pump, lights, only one water bottle, etc. I now feel little pangs of remorse when I lift it off the wall, fully laden. It's still markedly lighter than the Domane, but oh, what it could be if only I had a SAG wagon at my beck and call.

I had two that I really liked when I bought/built them. Then I realized I basically dig Strats and that's just how it is. I have 4 strats, but I really only play two of them. And two acoustics, but I really only play one of those. I might sell more.

Truth. I need to hit a grocery store for a few items and I'm sitting here trying to get the nerve to go. Also, my local bike path is getting so crowded that I'm afraid the park district might close it. I use it quite a bit as a sheltered part of my normal rides but I'm going to have to start avoiding it.

Same story with my basses, I've got two identical active pre-amp six strings but one is fretless, a passive single-coil 5 string tuned E-C, and a vintage 4 string Gibson.

This weekend was awesome weather, but no riding happened. Sad!
I spent most of my outdoor time on yard work and stripping paint from the bed of my El Camino. I decided to do a bed liner, but there is rust galore underneath the quick paint job that was done on the truck at some point. LOTS of rust. I will have quite a few hours into it when it's done.
I also sold two guitars at the same time. Thinning the herd and it feels great.

I used a spray bottle to apply to the underside of my firebird. Did the entire bottom of the car. Then primed and painted it. It works great as prep for painting process.
There is an acid in vinegar that kills the rust. It doesnt take much. Treated metal will acquire a yellowish tint, it's not oxidation dont panic.
look on youtube DIY auto body. My friend Pete. South west rod and custom.

Even my Costco is doing this, now. Well, w/r/t the marked floors at checkout; I haven't seen them limiting entry, but I make a point of going when it's relatively slow (I've been making full use of Google's device tracking for live foot traffic conditions at stores).

Psychologists have found that high levels of stress cause weird and or destructive behavior where animals abuse and even kill their children. This includes human animals as is easy to see in the news. It is also interesting that caregivers tending to an ill family member suffer elevated levels of stress where their own health may suffer.

I assumed that he's done that already since he said it's just the most minuscule bit of contact. At that point, I'd just make sure the gap is backlit so that I could ID the point of rub and give it some love.

I wish the stores we use were. Two local markets use 60 as their old people criterion, but the store is normally empty at 0600 anyway!

It does make sense for people who have it to wear the masks. However, since you are contagious before you are symptomatic, act as if you have the virus at all times. If you wait until you think you have it, you’ve spread it.

probable course of action. I did post in mechanics forum just for backup. Maybe I missed something one never knows.
