the engine cover seems like a good starting point for a more personalized image.

just make sure you paint both sides. an alternative would be a dab of POR15 or even seam sealer.

and the knowledge has been painfully slow in coming. but it's a new thing and the world is playing catch up.

I don't see what it is that we're "giving up". these have all been laws that were already on the books. I've seen nothing new. Just because it's the first time you've personally experienced it doesn't mean it's unprecedented. ask those that lived through Hurricanes or huge snowstorms. get-the-heck-off-the-street declarations are not new and none have ever become permanent. I fear nothing from this except my father, sister and grandmother contracting it as they are all in that very-likely-to-die category. calm down, take the CDC's recommendations seriously and stop overthinking it. we can all riot later if I'm proven wrong.

because the simplest explanation is frequently the right one, I fall back on a couple truths before I go too far down any rabbit holes. 1- most people are panicky idiots 2- people in power are not immune to being in that group faced with a pandemic that has the appearance of being worse (or at least different) than any that the current batch of living humans remembers, you can easily get what is transpiring. knowledge is the only thing that can combat this and we're coming up a little short on a full understanding of the virus, how widespread it is, or what the long term damage will be. we only know that it appears to be quite deadly to a certain group of humans. Far as I can tell the goal is to slow it down as much as possible so that the knowledge can catch up and to not overwhelm the healthcare system. I haven't seen anything that doesn't already happen for other disaster scenarios like hurricanes. It's just more widespread. The country and the world will survive this and later on there will be plenty of time for blame to be passed around to the individuals (be them foreign or domestic) that have either proven their incompetency or tried to advance their personal gain (be it money or power) from this calamity.

michigan isn't testing unless you have definite symptoms. apparently we're still trying to ramp up the availability of testing and so are limiting it to those who really need to know asap.

all hail our robotic overloads who will undoubtedly survive the coming apocalypse and carry on a love for music

I've got a baby 5k It's pretty small.

all of the amendments have some limitations (can't yell "fire" in a theater), but there's no doubt that this will end up in the courts afterwards. My guess is the current situation will be filed under emergency powers such as when a hurricane rolls through. ok, a "spring break" mentality makes sense to me. I'm in suburbia and it's cold and rainy outside. not a whole lot of party-time opportunities 'round here.

honestly I'm still confused as to where people are going that this would stop. most everything is closed around me. basically I could go get fast food (drivethough only), grab essentials from a store, or check in on family. Certainly he's not shutting down the critical business things.

not all that surprising, I guess. the strategy appears to have had positive results in other countries. I'm infinitely curious on the details though...

it also helps to know the vehicle's weak spots too. rockers, doors, frames, bedsides are the MJs. other cars have differeing locations that you want to wash and protect super well.

I use a 50% mix of washing and accepting that anything I use as a winter ride is essentially sacrificial (salt, the potholes, and the horrible drivers are all vying to wreck my ride). Basically nothing I truly care about sees the snow. Just with washing I've seen all of my various rides push past 200k miles with only minor rust compared to others I see.

dang. hopefully it's an easy treatment.

nice!

I say go for it. just make sure he doesn't go in blind.

Punk'n Metallic Clear Coat would be one of those reused codes.

can't find a phone number but I have a possibly super-old email: bewild2@roadrunner.com

mine don't. they have an micro SD card slot and loops over old stuff.

I've got one of these in the front and the back windows. https://www.ebay.com/itm/GPS-Camera-HD-Car-DVR-Dash-Cam-Video-Recorder-G-Sensor-1080P-WiFi-Parking-Mode/283512976933?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 bought specifically because it swivels and thus can be mounted on any angle of glass. it's cheap and made in china, but the picture is ok and I was able to get it linked to my phone without too much frustration.

I'm unfortunately 750 miles from the projects I'd like to be doing in georgia, but in the meantime I'm helping my cousin deal with an entire oak tree's worth of logs. today we put down the fabric and assembled the racks, but the rain is upon us so the splitter rental will have to wait til the weekend.

hunter green!
