It's going to be hard for me to drive around in reverse everywhere.

Good morning Peeps. We received a pretty hard frost last night, roads are a little slick as well. So much for all that nice weather I missed last week. I'm really staring to have withdraws not being able to go out to my shop and tinker with stuff.

Challenge accepted!! Look for the results on the evening news tonight.

I got out in my garage yesterday and started clearing out "crap". I had unopened tools for doing door ***** and door hinges from a project that never happened. That went on the Good Will pile along with some other woodworking tool accessories and baseball gear that will no longer be used. Cleaning the garage is a bit daunting. I've accumulated a lot of stuff over the past 20 years at this house.

I detailed my 2019 Nissan Leaf, doing a paint correction process that was followed up by Ceramic Coating. It sure looks shiny now even though the paint color is gunmetal gray.

Today is likely the last day in the office, for at least this month. Classes at the university shifted to online and I get to work from home. Good thing I'm not a janitor.

Good Morning Wyoming, and all visitors... And so it happened yesterday... A few folks from Utah came into our only grocery store, the men wearing side arms, (which is legal here), the women with guns in their purses.. with the men guarding the women they grabbed several carts and proceeded to clear out the medicine, paper, canned goods, etc. They were about half-way through when the store owner and several employees/citizens stopped them, made them leave the carts, etc. and walked them to their vehicles and told them to never come back, or else. You can't get them all though, there are locals that went wild with it, and a few out-of-staters who have emptied the shelves, but we are trying a "just buy two of what you need approach", which hopefully will balance out for everyone.

Having some cash on hand isn't a bad idea. I loaned my brother all my gun money last month. I'm hoping I'll get it back sometime this year.

Good for the locals limiting quantities. If that had been implemented early we wouldn't have such empty shelves. Maybe.

I tried to buy rice and hamburger yesterday......... NONE anywhere.
This morning after my Doc appointment I went shopping again.......... In Sam's Club there were "guards" on the pallet load of paper towels. The only paper towels they had and no TP........ I was able to get a bag of rice today. No hamburger........
Soon people are going to have to eat all this food there are hoarding..... The sewer system is going to overflow................

Ok.. got some cash, the store is next to the bank, but all I could see are Wyo plates. I am sure though, that some are going to try the 'ol family split up.. where one gets 2 cans of corn, then the next gets the same, and so on.. We all know each other, so that trick won't last.. LOL! My daughter being the Lead Mgr. at maverik, she can order for us anything that a convenience store sells, AND get it at her price, like milk, eggs, bread, ramen, etc. We get all our paper products at a discount online and shipped to us free, so thats covered as well.

As far as meat goes, my buddy runs his own butcher shop.. he gets open range beef, and all the types of meat.. he already has us on his repeat list so we are covered that way as well.
