There are growing calls to shut the state down.

For me I agree free money is good, however if the house get what the want keep the change to save the country. There proposal is 1400+pages. Very little to do with current situation. Mass amount of be bs pork. Abolish voter ID laws, eliminate rual cities towns and counties. To be a unit of government not a state must be at least 500 k

It sounds like the dems dropped all the crazy stuff off to finally get the thing to pass. Really not the time to play silly political games. Going to get the new front shocks with my uncle donald money.
The caddy is driving perfect, had a small lifter tick on take off so I added about 1/2 qt of trans fluid to the oil and it's now gone. I think replacing the water pump also stopped my small antifreeze leak I could never find.

The beer virus has been a God send for us. Getting our bill straightened out from my divorce, going to get Debra, her divorce and the wedding. except for my divorce everything has been done in 3 months. I think we did good on the wedding all three rings were a 1000, her dress with alterations 275, flowers 135, maybe 300 on the reception the cake from Sams was 70 of that.

Saving money since we can't eat out. Only a few more things I need to do to the caddy and it will be finished. Rear main, front shocks and changing the fluids in the diff's and transfer case are mandatory. I am still on track paying stuff down.

We were thinking of a weekend beach trip soon but I don't think that's going to happen. Still planning on the September cruise, "fingers crossed".

not sure if the fl beaches are open. we are lean more toward our Thanksgiving cruise The TX trip is up in the air. Ft worth is now on lock down thru April 7.

The new building was delivered today. It is roughly 8 ft from the one I have been working on and both floors are same height. Thinking about using the the doors as walls and just extend the roof rafters to the new building. Started painting the floor but ran out of paint. Finally put the dust collector together.
