What are you doing during quarantine?

[pilut2]

I am a Canadian. Although I did not vote for Prime Minister Trudeau I feel that he is handling the Covid-19 in an informed and measured manner. Time will tell if our response was timely and drastic enough. Trudeau addresses the nation every morning with a calming, non political, truthful and articulate update to the crisis. By contrast, Trump's daily ramblings are full of untruths and complaints about how poorly he is being treated, attacks on the press and how the previous administration left him in this mess. Trump rarely completes a sentence and rambles with the vocabulary of preschooler. I am at a complete loss as to how anyone can have any confidence in him as a leader. Canadian news outlets report the same story with very little if any political bias- not true in the US where two different networks can report the same event in a completely different way. I am glad that I live in Canada where we pay higher taxes, have free healthcare and don't need guns.

Let's check back in with the deniers in, oh, 3 months.

Very Nice!
I did my own exhaust manifold bolts not too long ago, on an 80k mile motor, and again on a 150k mile motor. Both came off without any breakage! I was, frankly, shocked. haha.
Patience. lots of patience. If it starts getting tough, put your finger on it, and feel it. if it's warm, you're stretching it and you're gonna break it. Hit it with some penetrating oil and let it sit while you work on another one.

keep us posted. with pictures! we LOVE pictures! haha

Who? I'm a news junkie, and while the unemployment numbers were mentioned, I didn't see anyone blame that on Rump. Wanting to open everything up for Easter? Hell yeah, everyone's on his case about it, even a lot of Republicans.

I haven't seen anyone blame the economy or unemployment on him. And he shouldn't be blamed for it. Although he's spent 3 years taking credit for Obama's economy. Nonetheless, this recent downturn is not his fault. There are plenty of other things he's done that he's worthy of blame.

Dood... that's a BEAUTIFUL interior. I'd LOVE it if mine looked like that!!! IS this original, and cared-for? Or is it restored?

C'mon, Dmitry? Civil? We are civil. We're not savages. Where are you hiding out when Daniel Andrew posts his spam?

Civil? We're a family here... like neighbors. Some play better than others... but we're here by choice. We only see you when you're trying to sell stuff. We're all doing fairly well self-moderating.

Nice try, however. Have a nice day. Be safe. Be well.

Thanks very much man. All of the above. It looks better in a picture than in real life. Believe it or not....it was once track driven. I realized after seeing people crashing at every track day, all around me that I had an attachment. Track days were very hard on it and decided that I wanted to keep it long term.

Let's talk about that.

ARRGHHHHH Please No!!!!!! Not another oil discussion. What? Oh. He's being sarcastic. I see.

Autozone is selling some 20-50 engine oil for 1.99 a qt. Was thinking of using that after I get my Walmart 4 for 199$ tires installed by some kid in high school that just started there. Any thoughts?

+1 I'm Canadian as well. I found it interesting that Trump wants to put the US soldiers at the Canadian border. Is that to prevent migrants from Canada getting to the US or to hem in his own people from coming here. Makes ya go hmmmm.

Just make sure you select the full contact flailing brush option to ensure full deep cleaning

I really enjoy hearing from people who live outside the USA. There are liberals and conservatives everywhere. But, their take on our approach is always refreshing. Thanks pilut2 for your insights.

I don't care which flavor kool-aid you drink. Red, blue or purple. +/- a month ago, our president exclaimed we only had "15 cases that week and that the next week we would likely be at zero." We now stand at somewhere north of 1,000 dead. Last week the president extols hydroxy-chorluquine as a cure. Rips a reporter in the room that he should be ashamed of the question he is trying to ask as fear mongering. A Darwin awards candidate and his wife ingest some aquarium cleaner that has it as an ingredient and he dies and she is in critical condition.

People in authority over us have a responsibility to be honest and forth rite with all information presented. How many times has the president made a statement to then be corrected by Dr Fauci in the last week? It is staggering how cavalier he is with his hyperbolic ramblings. "Anybody who wants to get tested, can get tested." This is clearly not the case from personal experience.

The president can have his conspiracy theories about the deep state. Bill and Hill's child porn ring in a PA pizza restaurant basement, the last president was born in Kenya, he won the majority vote, etc. I can't decide whether he believes what he says or not. Which makes me ask the question. Which would be worse? Is he delusional or is he deliberately pedaling falsehoods? Both scenarios are problematic.

All I know is the country deserves/requires better at this point. If we get this wrong, history will not be kind. Pray we don't lose our humanity towards each other as we hoard toilet paper.

Is that before or after changing the IMS bearing?

Wow. Wishing ill on others?
Karma is a female dog. Good luck with that.

And, it’s advice, not “advise”.

LOL! I've got nothing. Zero. I'm spent.

FYI: Not that I feel the need to explain myself to certain clowns, but my wife is a healthcare provider. That’s why we moved to WA (high demand).

We are literally on the front lines, defending against this, and we have “know nothing” clowns like “azlvr”, with their google medical degrees, telling us how it is.

Dood.....
C'mon man. How old ARE you, really?

This is the 2nd post of this nature in the last week: wishing ill on another member. (Or relishing their extreme misfortune). My opinion? You start down that road, you're a cancer to the rest of us, and you oughtta be banned.
That's just me.
But until I'm king of the internet, all I can REALLY do is add you to the ignore list.
