This is some crazy crap for sure went to walmart Sat. by myself had the wife stay home since we had the granddaughter. Man I've never seen so many empty shelves. Paper products gone ,cleaning products gone couldn't even get a bottle of Tide ,instant mashed potatoes , frozen veggies ,canned veggies,pasta and sauce ,alot of the frozen microwave stuff was gone but they had plenty of fresh meat , poultry , and veggies. Spent part of the weekend moving my daughter out of her dorm room at Hendrix college they decided on Friday that everyone need to be off campus by 5 PM Monday.They are going to finish out the year " on line " .
On a good note I got over to Cookie88's yesterday and did some scanning with Forscan on big red she's had a weird SES light since I put the new chip in I take it out it goes away but we found out it was throwing codes for the IDM & the PCM so we pulled the chip out of his truck and replaced mine WOW. The injectors are quiet now and it runs even better what a difference even my wife noticed it. So I got a phone call to make today.

Nice, I messed my choke up last night. I need to reset it today so I can diagnose the PCV. My hose is getting sucked flat. Probably going to work on the truck for a bit, then go help my father in law work on a bedroom ceiling. Be nice if I could take the truck over there, but I got her running pretty rough.

Pollen probably. I didn't have issues with seasonal allergies until a couple of years ago, very annoying stuff. My wife and daughter have them pretty good, but my wife is allergic to Pecan pollen and we have lots of trees/orchards around, may be my daughters issue as well.

Had an additional 1.6 inches this afternoon and its rained more since. I'm starting to call my back yard Lake Michigan. Can almost start launching battleships. More rain on the way.
Went up to Gainesville today to get a few groceries on sale. Couldn't believe it when I went into the grocery store and was greeted with "Welcome to crazy town." And it was unreal for a little small town store to be almost wiped out. I figured these rural people would be more grounded than that.
Stupid people anyway.

I wonder how things are going to be after this two week shutdown. Maybe another two week shutdown? Other than the panic buying and the odd virus prevention folks are using, it seems to be business as usual.

I hope not. This panic s*** is getting old like yesterday. It makes it tough, I'm in the high risk group. Most of the people that live in my neck of the woods are in the same boat. I want to vent so bad its not even funny.

You ever just wanna shake people and tell them to quit being stupid? Cheaper than passing out Keep Calm and Breathe signs. Just got the oil changed in the wife's car. They made it so I have exactly enough room to squeeze and short tote under. And there's just enough room for me to stretch an arm through the oil filter access hole to undo the drain plug. To reset the oil change message you have to be inducted into the highest order of a secret mopar cult. It's for sure not in the book.

It's really not bad, I mean there isn't any extra room, but there is exactly enough. And unlike my truck I don't have to crawl under it. But, another inch of height wouldn't hurt my feelings though.

We got some pretty serious rain today. I was out driving in it first thing. Even going slow I was pushing massive waves. Downright soggy outside. I've been reading through my emissions books and I think I know how I want to redo my vacuum setup, need a different vcv. Lots of delays at the post office they aren't admitting too. My new vacuum hoses won't be all in for another 2-3 weeks. Haven't fiddled with the carb any more, haven't felt like braving the elements.
