Since it appears that everything is closing or being postponed, why dont we do a tech session or a work session at my shop? I only ask that you bring a roll of TP ;)
10AM
-
I agree, but thought something like this was already in the works.
-
Putting it out to the rest of the club
-
Mike said the workshop was a good idea, so the meet is on at Scott's Fiero Service Department.
How about we make it 10AM? Bring your folding chairs.
April 11, 10AM

Add to calendar?

Sounds like fun!

The more the merrier!

Scott, thanks for posting this up. I was supposed to do it last night but got distracted when a close friend started showing signs of the Covid. Thankfully I haven't been around her for the last several weeks.
-
I'll need the address, you can PM or e-mail to me.
-
Have TP, Will Travel.
BTW, How'd the car run on the way home from the meeting?
-
Can runs OK, I am starting to think the timing chain is stretched so the timing is a bit retarded (no comments about the driver)
There is a possibility that I have been exposed to the virus theough work, so this might be on hold too
-
Let me know if you need anything. I'm not too far from you to bring groceries or car parts....
-
Thanks
The wife of an engineer at work has been exposed to the virus. As a precaution he was told to work from home for a few days. There is a very minute chance that he passed it along here, but I would rather be safer than sorrier. We will know in a few days if anyone here has it.
-
Hoping for the best for everyone.
-
The calendar link should probably be updated to reflect the canceled status.
-
Not canceled yet, lets see what happens in the next couple of weeks
So far no one that I know is showing any signs of the virus
-
I sent Mike a text Sunday morning asking him about what his plans are for future events. He hasn't replied yet.
-
Inquiring minds want to know...
Personally, I think COVID-19 should be cancelled. Not a fan, at all.
-
I did respond to FieroFool albeit just tonight. Should we wait until closer to the meeting date and see what's going on then? Or should we call it off for a month? There is no doubt many more people will be infected by then. If we built it would they come?
-
I will be there......
I am of the opinion to wait and see what happens over the next week
I am still working during the week. We have some office folks working from home, most of us in production are still working. No one has shown any symptons yet.
-
I have symptoms...boredom, fidgets, and munchies.
-
You been smokin sumthin funny????? ;)

Covid avoidance.

How are things in you area with the virus?
-
255 infected. Shelter at home orders. Traffic sparse. Parking lots are mostly empty. Work on lockdown. Police sparse. I was designated as an essential employee, so I have to carry the form with me, and have to go in to work. People have been reasonable, thus far, but I'm sure that will only last, so long. My workload has increased a lot, but additional restrictions have been implemented. Less driving, more working remotely.
Shelves a bit bare at stores. Plastic shields at cash registers. Tape on floor to maintain social distancing. Product limits of 1 meat item, 2 of anything else. Lines to get into stores, but no social distancing, there. No products containing alcohol, latex gloves, wipes, face masks, paper products, sanitizers, etc available. Pharmacies closed. Notmally, we drink 10-12 gallons of milk per week. They say to shop fewer times, but that isnxt possible. To get food for the week, rather than go once per week to one or two stores, we must go to five or six stores, several times a week. Many items, we have had to do without, because they aren't available. We have been using mouthwash that is 70% alcohol as a sanitizer. It has a peppermint scent.
Most stores are now closing at 5 or 6pm, meaning closed when I get off work. Staff at stores is sparse. When checking out, there are long lines. It can take an hour or more to get chdcked out. Customers in the store often give you the stink eye.
Many bank locations are closed, and ATM's offline. If you can't do it through your phone, you have to drive a ways.
Wedding venues are cancelling events, but not refunding money. My boss' daughter was to get married this weekend.
Church is insisting on people still sending the same $$$. So much for them understanding.
I was supposed to have a wisdom tooth pulled. The tooth is infected, and growing into another tooth. Postponed indefinately.
Fuel prices are down to $1.90/gal. With less traffic, fuel goes further, but road work isn't being done, so the roads are in poor condition. Of course, we are still being taxed for services not provided. Gas stations are employees only, meaning no public restroom.
We're mostly staying at home, but doing shopping for my parents. Our days are still busy, but this situation is taking a toll on everyone. We have heard that there is backlash toward Asian people, but haven't experienced such.
-
A decision on what is happening for April will need to be made soon, if I'm to include it in the newsletter.
-
They are closing more and more things down here. Limiting to gatherings of 10 or less. Restaurants, bars and grills and fast foods are takeout or delivery only. By the Governor's orders.
Duluth Diner says Curbside Service during this trying time. They don't have drive-thru. So I assume that means no inside dining.
I'm in favor of delaying the meeting. At the present time, I won't be there.
-
What say you, Mr. President?
-
We have no choice but to cancel. Maybe in May we can get together?
Everybody be smart and safe.
-
Thanks.
-
Just to reiterate this event has been canceled for the month of April

What does your post have to do with the thread of the post????

What does your post have to do with the thread of the post????
Well, I guess that answers my question. Having nothing better to do, I had been sitting here all that day, wondering if you policed all threads, or just a select few. ??? I admire your dedication, although I'm not sure how my post deviated from its thread. Perhaps you meant the topic of the thread, which does bear some scrutiny.
As soon as I post this reply, my post count will increase by 1. 8) After spending some time trying to figure out how to reply without posting, I came up blank, other than reducing the font size by half, to sortof split the difference between posting and not posting, but smaller font sizes could cause eye strain for some of the older members.
The thought of not replying (ignoring the post) did occur to me, but I couldn't do that to my friend. After all, your post had a point, as do all such posts--they all have a point. Being that there was validity to your post, I offer the explanation below.
I have symptoms...boredom, fidgets, and munchies.
How are things in you area with the virus?
Actually, I was loosely replying to the question above. I had looked for this post based on MikeMac's posts, and had replied in the same thread. ;) To your point, sure, I could've started a new thread, and quoted this thread. But I was thinking of you. I did not want to force you to take time to make the inevitable post asking why I had started a new thread. I would have had to reply, which would have necessitated that you take more time to make a post to acknowledge that I had accrued another post (Yippee for me! Ring a bell!). So, yes, I was thinking of you, as I always think of you, every time I post. :)
It really does make me feel special, that you care so much about my posts. :-X I'm certain it makes me a better person, and obviously helps keep me in line on the forum. Effort should be put into achieving the standards you exemplify. ;D
DeShoe, I just want to say I'm yrros. So very, very yrros. I'm yrros for that post, and yrros for any and all other offenses I have committed on this forum. Could you find it in your heart to forgive me? :-[
-
I was thinking the same thing...... however, if you would had lead off with something about your current situation or circumstances, it may have been better received. ......
As to my current circumstances, nothing much has changed..... still go to work everyday
-
Fixed.
