Been watching a movie per night with the kids. Started home work outs and ordered more equipment to compliment what I already have. Also my wheel stud kit arrived so that will occupy a night or two with that on the garage. Will ceramic coat brake calipers again while I’m at it. Been working from home during day.

Working from home b/c of it, cooking good food, eating my candy supply too fast, watching fast & furious movies too much & playing with the cars. Also, drinking...
Waiting for nice weather to take the Miata out for a joyride.

Working, working out, playing guitar and trying to work on the M2 and I'm also restoring a 1994 Supra, so that's been keeping me busy. Hoping it warms up this week so I can at least take the M2 out for a few joyrides - no one on the roads!

I had a client cancel lunch that was already ordered so I invited our friends & their kids over to have a fajita steak & chicken spread with margaritas for the girls. The guys sipped whisky neat. We played Phase 10 after.

Yeah, today was the day where I decided this sucks. I'm SO damn bored. They closed all the gyms today so I can't work out or play ball. I can't watch sports. There are no sports to read about. I had to cancel our honeymoon, it's still 40 degrees here.....this sucks.

If this were July, at least I could be outside.

I'm still going to the office. Starting tomorrow we will have personnel working from home to thin out the office. I have to have people here though to dispatch trucks, deal with drivers and work the warehouse.

It's been eerie driving to and from work. The roads are empty. I'm really starting to feel overwhelmed with everything going on. De Blasio is talking sheltering but Cuomo disagrees. We will see.

I was just thinking that this morning. My trip in was around 4:30am...and the roads were completely empty. Normally I will see a few cars once I hit the Interstate, but not today.

Add to it was that there was more fog this morning then I think I have ever seen. Even with lights on....you couldn't see ahead that good at all. So driving down the road..... it looked like you were driving into a void.

I had surgery the week before Christmas and was forced to be "man down" for a few days. I'll agree with you, it does suck in that capacity. I'd most likely only be lazy for a day, if that. I'd find something to keep myself busy with the rest of my time. Being forced to rest and heal always sucks. It always seems like a person has so much to do when placed in that situation.

Speedy recovery my friend.

World is still going around here in Michigan. I haven't really noticed a difference, besides restaurants being "closed" after 3 PM.

Granted, my work commute is all of 7 miles. I'm sure the traffic is lighter around the metro-detroit area.

Beyond that, I'm still at the office working. Restricted to no travel. Dropped a new engine into a 2004 STI last night, so I guess that is a way to pass the time.

Same here. Today the drive was a little better. Yesterday I saw 3 other cars on my way to work and 1 was a police officer. Everyone is still coming to work, but the vibe/energy here is just way off. Not very many smiling faces (not that there normally are here anyway ) and everyone seems very much on edge.

I will say I do like hearing all the conspiracy theories that the production workers come up with. I have to keep that laughter internal as they are telling me about how the Russians genetically engineered this virus to kill off all the old people. Good stuff.

Yeah...one of the guys that works for me is a really big conspiracy theorist. Some of the stuff he comes up with is crazy. I usually ignore him and ask about one of the things he is supposed to be working on...and that runs him off.

Everyone is talking shit and it's pissing me off. My niece just came to me and said she heard that the Dept of Sanitation was getting their garbage trucks lined up to block the bridges and tunnels. She's a wreck. Can't people be fucking responsible about the BS they spew?

Searching for a car that seems impossible to find. 2011 E92 in Space Grey with red interior, with MT, RWD, m-sport without Nav. I’m enjoying the hunt but I feel like my exact spec isn’t out there. It is awesome seeing what is being posted for sale and how people have modified their cars. Great education for me.

Oh man, we have a guy here that I would love for you to meet. The last tale I heard from him was how his left eye is robotic. Due to an unfortunate accident, when he was a pilot working for the government, that involved a bird flying through the windshield and making direct impact with his eye; they installed a robotic eye for him. Of course it was completely experimental and he isn't supposed to be talking about it, but it has infrared and zoom capabilities. He doesn't need binoculars anymore.....but wears glasses; guessing it's because his right eye can't adjust to the awesomeness of his left robotic eye.

Another employee told me recently that this particular employee recently lost his weather machine that he had built. Guys in black suits, in a black SUV arrived, unannounced on his property and just took it. Man I hope he finds those bastards. We, as a nation, can not have men in black suits confiscating our weather machines.

Just got the email that the gym is closed until April 1st. Dammit. The new years resolutioners were just starting to die down too. Guess I'll be getting creative at home.

I think we all worked with a guy like that, mine swam out of a torpedo tube during the Granada invasion.....he was so secret squirrel that the US brought him in (he's Canadian), but could't tell us more than that or he'd have to kill us.....you understand.

I asked for a hint and he could just hurt me.

Dude, this guy will deliberately sabotage production or anything else here for that matter. Two weeks ago, his supervisor jumped his ass for not doing his job. The next morning he filed an accident report stating that he hurt his back opening a valve two weeks prior. This basically created a recordable injury and cost everyone $350 on their safety metric for our quarterly bonus. In short, this guy will do whatever the hell he wants and if something is said to him, it screws everyone.

Yes, he should be fired but corporate will not allow it due to him suing us a few years ago.
