Just Dropped In to See What Condition My Condition Is In!

[Jason Edge]

As the world comes to a standstill over the Corona Virus scare and many of you are confined to home, or work and home, or work and home and the grocery store, or some variation of that I thought I would pop in and ramble a bit. I don't have a feature car for a newsletter story, so I will share some thoughts.  Let us know how this is impacting you and maybe what you are doing ... and what condition your condition is in during your down time. Just to note ... no politics. 

1st: I need a feature car story!!! You are all sitting a home, staring at your screen, or this link www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ watching the #'s go up, up and away, and wondering what should I do to bide my time as I do my civic duty and socially distance myself, and the answer is right out the garage ... write that story for Jason so he can share with the world your fantastic 1963 or 1964 Cadillac! So, no excuses. I expect to have plenty of great stories with pictures in the near future.

2nd: Go to the garage and tend to what needs tending!  We all have those things we have put off forever and have kept saying... If I only had the time I would do this or that. Well, you have the time! Take on a small project that you can complete in a few hours or a few days and get it done!  When that project is completed you will have a sense of accomplishment. If we are in this "shut down" mode for an extended period, go to something else. Maybe a house project, or better yet a "honey do" project. The Boss might even let you go back and take on another project in the garage the next week!    

3rd: So You Got a Big TV and Stereo System ... USE IT! Relax, watch some movies; listen to your music.  Most of us have something bigger than the 25" TV's we had growing up, have Netflix, etc. and some have even opted for that crazy surround sound stuff!  Now's the time go go back and watch those great movies you really enjoyed and would like to see them again. I remember after retiring going into a John Wayne movie phase, then a Hitchcock movie phase,  ... and of course I have my X-Men, Star Wars, and other Zillion Part movies that I will often go back to. Here's your chance to unwind, and watch a movie or listen to your music at home and actually get something done... not spread this bad virus!

And to wrap things up... I will leave you with my favorite tune, and appropriate given our current circumstances, from Kenny Rogers, who sadly just passed away: 

Just Dropped In to See What Condition My Condition Is In!

So far so good us Canadians are trying are best to cope just like all Americans and nations be safe

Hi Kelly, With just over 2000 cases looks like Canada is fairing better than the U.S. which will probably go past 50,000 cases later today or tomorrow. I know there is a population difference, but looking at the chart you are at 55 cases per million while we are at 139... and climbing. Hopefully the #'s will plateau for everyone soon.

Raleigh and Wake County goes lock down tomorrow. Doesn’t affect me much as I just keep doing what I do around here everyday anyway. Have engine and transmission ready to come out of parts car # 52 tomorrow. There were Lots of goodies on this one.  Wiring and plumbing done on new house addition and supposed to have spray foam insulation sprayed Tuesday, then I put my Sheetrock hat on.

On this car it was neat to see the cork still in the front crank end... it actually came out complete and the Hydra-Matic Linkage shield was all there and looked like it had never been removed. I'm cleaning it up and will see if I have anyone on my  Wait List later. See picture on the car below. I seem to always go back and forth between house projects and garage projects. Never bored.
