Seems more and more post are going to gloom and doom. This was especially true with the Financial Market one that was just locked by the moderator. We (or at least most) all know things are bad especially when it comes to health, jobs and investments during this crazy time. However, can we post some positive things!
How about some positive news during theses times

It's spring and it didn't freeze last night at my mountain home.
IBTL
I'm able to work from home, still putting in almost a normal amount of time. But. I'm not spending an hour to get to work, nor an hour at lunch, nor an hour to get home. It's a nice bump in hours per day, and being stuck home with the family is a nice change.

I ordered Omaha Steaks Private reserve sampler and was very impressed last night.
Sizzler has curb side service!
I'll grill some sausages today.
I'm getting a lot done in my new shop.
Fixed my wife's Volvo (downpipe replacement) and completed some normal service.
Changed the oil and rotated the tires on the truck.
Replaced the COMAND screen on the S600, and did some troubleshooting (found the leak) on the pneumatic system.
Pulled a friend's 1975 Mercedes 450SL in and have started on removing the engine to replace the timing chain, and probably, a whole lot more while we're in there...

Wash, waxed, interior detail both 240s. Griot's Garage Premium Carnauba Wax. Heavenly.
OLF, air filter, brake fluid flush, new rear pads and summer tires on the sedan.
Most satisfying!

At this moment my pal is headed to a garage where they'll install steering hardware (tie rod ends, pretty sure) so maybe, just maybe that Outlander of his will hold an alignment.
Their previous 2 Outlanders were just fine.
NOTE: We (as in "he") must be gettin' old as he hasn't removed his snows yet and is having these people do the swap. That's not like us.

I finally found a store that sells Mountain Dew Zero sugar.
1. The nephews are enjoying "home schooling"
2. Brother is remodeling the bathroom and painting the shudders on the house
3. I made a delicious sirloin roast yesterday and had a Guinness
4. Mom and stepdad are doing good
5. Pops or real dad finally got a basic smartphone
Life is GOOD

1) Started Refurbing my old Vietnam era Sansui 2050C Turntable got at the PX.
The rubber suspension balls are going flat - but they aren't cracked. Going to shim them a tad with some slices of Si rubber.
Wonder if I should keep the original Sansui Cartridge on there - which is likely a Sanyo? Get a JICO Conical replacement stylus?
2) The Spring Peepers ( tree frogs? ) are out in force
3) Gas is inexpensive as ever, but I get 40 MPG ! I don't drive much since I have retired
4) Wife and I never go out to Dinner, so nothing missed there
5) Wife is still working since she is in Biotech in the Boston Area
6) There is a 1966 Buick Skylark GS 460 Wildcat with a 4 speed for sale near me in good shape
7) Stim Checks ** coming next week. Remember to reserve 20% of it for tax time.
**Can you return the check so it can go to those out of work? ( b into a unemployment INS. Ask me first next time, please!

I can still smell carnauba from when I was a kid in the late 50's getting one of those
Toy Gas stations with Car wash.
It came with small tins of carnauba wax. to polish your toy cars
Doll house for boys!

....and after that he was a boy no more.
In my world its nice to see the market up for whatever reason. Getting ready to close on a piece of land on which the wife and I will build our retirement home. Land purchase is for cash but its a lifetime investment! My 70 Chevelle SS 396 is running like a top with no place to go. LOL
Stimulus checks are non-taxable

The money is not taxable. You can use it to help people in your community if you choose.
