Everything is fine and dandy in my slice of the world. We stayed home for Thanksgiving and plan on doing the same for Christmas and New Years.

I think we'll be sticking around home a lot longer than that. Those vaccines might be arriving but it will take months before everyone gets one..

We've stayed safe for this long, a little while longer won't hurt.

I think I'm done until spring, I have work to do on the pickup and going to start that soon. Timing chain cover is leaking and possibly the front of the intake manifold so while I'm into it that far I'm going to put new timing gears and chain on it. Not really looking forward in doing it but that oil is making a real mess of things under the hood..

Oh it will be done long before that.. first sign of spring I'll be back to working on the Mercury. Actually thinking of sandblasting the front section of the hood and do some repairs to it after I get the pickup done providing it doesn't get too cold..

I've got a big project this Spring. We're having the big oak tree removed that's in the back yard. Too many acorns and birds shltting on us. Wifey said its time to go. LOL
