My niece's husband just passed from covid. He was a little over weight but otherwise healthy. 50 yrs old and not vaxed.

It looks like the spinners are made to fit different bolt patterns and might use an oval Unilug type washer.

You bet it is. I thought you might drop by for chat or pop :T)   while we were up there but... nope

I've been real busy putting an addition on my place up north.

Been out and about for the last 10 days checking out the Michigan's UP...

Looks like Ohio Blue Tip's car next to yours in the rainy St Ignace picture...playing in the rain

Sorry to hear about your mom Frank. Mine passed a few months ago and I still have things I want to stop by and talk about with her.

George, that really didn't sound like fun. )

Actually I was saying that it was warm enough to do it. Not exactly fun but tolerable. January is usually much colder and snowy.

It was a reminder that I need to keep getting rid of stuff in my 3 car shop so I can work on a car in there. It's out of control :(D)

In Michigan doing a brake job in the driveway in January isn't normal. But that's what I did today. It got up to 46 degrees and sunny. Retracting the rear caliper pucks threw me off for a bit but youtube saved the day.

I'm continuing a never ending effort to get rid of years of hoarded stuff. Today I was taking pictures of things to put on craigslist and noticed this logo on my grandfather's machinist's chest.  It was made in enjenjo's hometown.

In the box is a 1917 edition of the Machinery's Handbook.

Hope everyone is having a good Christmas and the New Year brings good health and happiness.

My wife was admitted to the hospital Tuesday evening.  She has a problem with degeneration of the muscles ...... God * golden years.

Don, I don't have words that seem appropriate but you and 'the princess' are in my thoughts and hopefully the doctors will come up with a treatment that will help Kathy's condition.

Frank and Joe, your wives are also in my thoughts.

2020 is proving to be quite a year.

does it come in blue ??

At $1.6 million each I'd bet you could even get blue metalflake if you asked nicely.

Probably not a good idea to confront anyone these days since about half the population is bat-#### ..

I've heard of numerous incidents where employees have been hurt for trying to enforce these executive orders..  A nutcase pulled a knife on a Meijers clerk near here over a mask disagreement. It shouldn't be the employee's responsibility to enforce this stuff.

Because states get a lot of federal money for each positive case.  

That could very well account for Bruce's examples of people that never tested getting positive results. Corruption for $$

Our "self-proclaimed king" is picking & choosing which businesses he will allow to open and which ones have to remain closed.

Things are turning out to be more political in nature than out of covid necessity.  

There certainly are plenty of examples of what happens when people spout "proclamations" and grab dictatorial powers. That has never played well throughout history.  That's why we supposedly have checks and balances in place but whenever the "king's & queen's" power is questioned, they dig in even more and even punish those challengers.

It seems that human nature is showing it's ugly side everywhere.

I did a couple versions of this painting, I like this one best.

Nice! Reminds me of a scene from a Bat Man movie or Ron Crumb art.

Hooley brought me a new wall hanger for the shop.  

That's a pretty special wall hanger there John  :|
