The blue barrel is the second part of that stuff, mix it and you got cannoli foam for packing , lol. I been busy as hell working 2, sometimes 3 jobs. Wake up at 6am to work till after sundown. Building a 4x4 mower on ATLTF. You should see the thread on "Build your own transmission" in the tech area. I'm working on the front axle now for it. Working on my tank now and then too. Planning on taking wife riding and she will drive the 4x4 mower while I drive the tank, LOL.
Been working thru this as a essential employee and now im working every other week. Im a welder of all things to be essential but glade im still working. Did get a few things done at my house including fixing a few things on my mud truck, my mud mowers and yard cleaning. Did make a plow for my mower.
Just working on a 55 yo Bolens 1000, a 1965 year, and only the one year they made the 1000.... Kinda doing a resto-mod....I'll find out how I like Deestone AG's for new tires. A real Wisconsin TR-10D is being put in, a return to OEM for the little tube frame... Making it out ok as far as Covid crap. I lost no work, because I delivered fertilizer to farmers ... As far as stupid, yet responsible, too..I'm visiting my Mother for first time but have to sign a statement that I adhere to proper distancing, while visiting my Mother outdoors in the heat.... I think it's going to be a short visit with temps up in the high 80's tomorrow... Not ideal but she can at least see me.
I was trampled,, shot,, and killed by the women's auxiliary for not having a mask while trying to shop for toilet paper. My wife was very displeased with the whole event. Right on man glad to see you S G.
I work in parking enforcement and I along with all of my coworkers were furloughed in late March and they so far have only brought back 4 employees and tell the rest of us we have absolutely no clue when the city will be busy enough to bring the rest of you guys back. Unemployment was great for a while, now it's much less per week and complicated to satisfy the websites requirements to make sure you actually get paid, bout time to get a "2nd" job I guess. It sucks having your job ripped away from you because of reasons that are out of your control.
1st let me say great to see a video. As far as the virus it's badd where I live at. When it all started I had do have a pass to drive back-and-forth to work with a 6 o'clock curfew. A lot of people are dead in the county I live in. But it is what it is and I have to work Monday. I disinfect every car I work on before I do anything to it. Believe this or not the insurance companies are actually paying me to do it now.
I'm ready to hit the trails soon buddy! been too long of a shutdown,and I'm ready for some forest time! Let me know when we can swap those parts we discussed at our last get together

So the last 2 weeks or so of March, my schedule changed from working 5 days a week to a 2 days on 2 days off kind of thing, so had to work every other saturday and would occasionally get a 3 day weekend. Was like that up until May at some point. We were given guarentee pay based on 4th quarter of 2019, so October to December. However, since we've gone back to our full time schedule, no one has been trading in vehicles. They've been buying them up fast at least. Almost 2 weeks ago now, had my dad pick me up a 1979 Arctic Cat Panther 5000 snowmobile with a 500cc Suzuki fan 2 stroke for $295USD. Going to use the engine and CVT for a homemade buggy. Hope to start on that next year when the wife and I buy a house. I'll be posting the build progress on DIYKarts.
Good to see you Doc, I hope you will take Fugazzzzi out for a spin soon. I have been working as normal, together with two friends. We do maintenance work, on high currency high voltage switch gear, in the power grid system in Norway. Holiday closing in now, time to weld something in the shed. Take care. Helge

Neighbors hate me pretty good been running my vanguard because I am bored all to get yelled at! lol p.s been missing your videos! And any ideas on where to get another vanguard?
Not to be too nosy, but you mentioned “the wife” about 10 times in this video.... one of the last times I saw one of your videos, I think I recall you saying that you had been going through a rough time and divorce.... Hopefully things turned around for you???
in the us: when this covid stuff started i was only allowed to go from my house to the store. i wasn't allowed to go to my shop for a month because of that.
