Sorry to hear that. :(
they are saying until the end of the month

Same here at our shop, we supply the Big Three, they shut down Thurs. at midnite so that affected us
 
I got tired of sitting in the house so I loaded some CT 70 parts in big blue and dropped them off at JW"s house. I put everything on his deck then gave him a call so he would know the parts are there before heading home
 
After church (we all sat spaced out and didn't touch in greeting - it is also live-streamed for those that wish), I pulled the front wheel off the project bike and put the spare from the junker on it. Ordered a Kenda 657 for it. Tomorrow I strip the remainder of the shelter door vinyl off, prime, and recover with new vinyl.
 
I heard on the news a few nights ago that people were putting Christmas lights up and turning them on to bring cheer during the epidemic , I had to go see if I could find some. oh and I got a church too

Along with other things, I rode the GL1800 to church to pick up pre-packaged communion for our family for the next two Sundays. Then took the long way home over Norris Dam to make sure there is no one there planning to damage it (a car load of middle-Eastern "students" were picked up there soon after 9-11 and although all in the USA on student visas, none were registered in school). So, my homeland security duties done.
 
Nice weather today - got into the 50s. Took the GL1100 out for the first time this year.

Forgot how well it handled.

Picked up my better half from work and came back home.
 
Since were staying at home now I help the Mrs. around the house and , finally got that shelf put in her closet she's been bugging me about, not sure what happened but it definetly was'nt level :sensored: :sensored: :sensored: nothing some spacers could'nt handle on the inside corner that no one will see :salute: :salute: :salute:
 
Glaze, sand, prime, sand, glaze, sand, prime, sand. Getting close. Also pulled out the tiller, checked oil and filled the gas, fired it up. Gassed the weedeater and fired it up. Drained the mix can and made up new mix. Now the wife can raise havoc with nature all she wants. Climbed up the roof, swept off a place that collects debris and adjusted the antenna, checked its connectors tight. Our reception is marginal on some channels and surprisingly improves in rainy weather.
 
I been working on one of the bedrooms skim coating walls and ceiling getting rid of the texture. Primed one wall after sanding. Looks good, needs some touch up. I get pretty picky.

Our reception is marginal on some channels and surprisingly improves in rainy weather.

Yes, I also think cloudy days improve over the air TV reception. My theory is that the signals bounce off the clouds better than the Heaviside layer and that's why reception improves. The Heaviside layer is a layer of ionized gas occurring roughly between 56 and 93 miles above the ground.

Many areas also get better reception during the night because the layer they bounce off changes in height due to the Earth's changing orientation with respect to the solar wind. It is lower during the day and higher at night which results in longer transmission of radio signals.
 
I think i have a bent or broken tab so the speedometer isn't working on the Mighty CT 70 so this morning I went out and installed a phone holder, turned on the MPH app and went for a short ride, 1.54 miles maxing at a whopping 28mph. I knew the app would work cause a friend used the same app to see how fast his minibike went last summer

Is 28 mph the max speed on that?
no it is not, I hit 34mph but the throttle wasn't wide open. i'm happy just doing 30mph
 
Put the Battery back in the Asspy today, then rearranged the garage so the bike is up front and the sled in the back. She fired up on the third try which is pretty damn good for sitting all winter.Now just have tocheck her over real good and get her ready for that good "0le" Pa. Inspection :hi: :hi: :hi:
