I had new rear tires put on the truck last week, and they had a tape barrier that you had to stand behind. I had to go back this am (faulty valve seal) and they had put up a row of off-road tires in front of the counter, making you stand back. Seemed to work well, wasn't really noticable, and doesn't hurt advertising.

I am guessing we will see more of that, people working around the whole thing, and  gradualy deciding that more things are "essential." People will get tired of these shutdowns in areas with few infections, while cities like NY will become less and less desirable. Life will go on.

We in VA were just locked down to the beginning of June by our Governor. Only essential travel and work allowed --

Two more Fing months!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are  stupid. We will be in a bottomless depression by then and there will be riots in the streets. I don’t think the soup lines will be pleasant.

I'm sure that will cause a run on the grocery stores.

I noticed that TP has gone up $ 3.00 for a 12 pk of Charmin extra strong at Walmart.

I just read about it. That governor of yours is a real piece of work.

Our gov just extended our state lockdown through April. But honestly I don't expect it to be lifted then. I think now that they've started this control freakism it isn't going to stop. Been checking in with friends all around the country and it's pretty much the same everywhere.

"Extra strong?"

The wife came home yesterday with a couple of boxes of TP she got from the uniform service company. Now I have to decide where to build the storage building for the TP.

This social isolation shit is going to be the death of me. Mrs. Conductor is going to work me to death. In the past 5 days I’ve rolled 5 gallons of Barn & Fence paint, 7 gallons of porch stain, spread 30 bags of mulch, de-commiefied 2 ATV’s, changed the oil in 3 ATV’s and 1 Tractor, installed lights on my truck, finished laying tile in my shower (finally), and there’s no end in sight.

I've heard that's why men go to work. A legal reason to get out of the house.

or maybe in my case why i send her to work!

As long as she goes to work I get to stay home.

It's been quiet around here. Most of the "Honey-Do" list items were done early on in the year. I did an oil change on the family fleet just for the heck of it because most of the vehicles were nearing the 5K mile interval, but that was about it. I've been working in the shop mostly on my own stuff -- havin' some fun being alone in my garage and machine shop. Mrs. GF doesn't bother me when I'm in the garage; although she will offer to make me a pot of coffee and bring out a snack when I run out.
