On lock down...

Well, Kansas goes on flu virus lock down at midnight March 30 so I'm running around trying to get last minute errands done...all the while keeping a social distance and wiping my hands every chance I get. So far, the lock down in Kansas will expire April 19, unless things get worse...and if it does, who knows when.

I guess I will have to quit using the excuse that the weather is too nice to keep from working on things that need to be done on Ol' Red instead of driving her every chance I can get. I've been putting off a few projects all winter long because I didn't want to lose a chance at driving on a mild southern Kansas winter day. This happens on a fairly regular basis.

Now that I can't get out, I can't use being ready to drive at a moments notice. I need to tear into the steering knuckles and change out the kingpin bearings because Ol' Red has developed a mild "death wobble". While I am on the front end, I want to change out the front shocks because one of them developed a leak during last year's FCT.

What are the rest of you doing to entertain yourselves if you are on lockdown? Any flatfender projects?

I'm staying home and watching the snow pack slowly melt. Then------cleaning up my gravel driveway out of the grass that the snow removal deposited,  before the grass grows. As a bonus, I'm eradicating the epidemic of Voles that has returned for a second season. Those buggers went everywhere under the snow and ate everything they could find. Even the grass roots. They chomped half of the main stem of my brand new red Oak sapling!  It's war now!!!!!!!!

I've ben working on one of my 47 2A's all winter Just about done with the transmission rebuild.(need an additional shim for the main shaft.)
Wife asked if I wasn't going to work on the Willys this after noon what am I going to do.(she's a keeper) Wisconsin is on lock down too.

I'm getting a lot of maintenance at the college I work at done since I'm one of the few essential employees. The rest of the time is spent at home when it is usually raining or about to rain. No garage means I'm wait to do anything outside. So cleaning inside and modifying diecast cars to add to my wall.

Found a brand new a  30 ton bottle jack on FB for $40 bucks. Screw lock down, I went and picked it up  and came right home. Badly needed it for my 60,000 Lb. press.  Have bearings to remove and replace. 

I was deemed "non-essential" to be on-site at our "essential" manufacturing company.  I have been working from home for past couple weeks.  I don't feel too offended,  because I really can do probably 90% of my job from home.

put me in the essential column.
