I dont by into all that. But would assume there will be a ripple effect in the spending tally on different programs or we will rack up some debit.

I received a note from my mortgage holder that I could have my payments deferred due to all this. Probably many of them will do this if you reach out to them. We are still working so not messing with that myself.

The cop was just doing his job. There are so many idiots who would either be driving too fast or would not be watching their kids and them get hurt. It is what it is and I guess I should have known anyway. My girls love to get up in the bed if we are out in the front just messing around. So does Gretel. And my 6 yr old daughter mentioned wanting to go for a ride. So I said...why not. Let's go for a little ride around the neighborhood. I would not take them up on a major road and at fast speeds though. But our neighborhood roads are public roads and it is the law.

They never took it back during the relief acts in 2008 and 2009. We just end up further in the hole as a nation. Something that really must stop. Can't spend what you dont have. I dont understand it all...but I know that there will be a reckoning of it all at some point. And we will all pay the price for that.

Copied from over on Facebook. Thought this was interesting...as a lot true...haha.

Here are the official Coronavirus guidelines:

1. Basically, you can't leave the house for any reason, but if you have to, then you can.

2. Masks are useless, but maybe you have to wear one, it can save you, it is useless, but maybe it is mandatory as well.

3. Stores are closed, except those that are open.

4. You should not go to hospitals unless you have to go there. Same applies to doctors, you should only go there in case of emergency, provided you are not too sick.

5. This virus is deadly but still not too scary, except that sometimes it actually leads to a global disaster.

6. Gloves won't help, but they can still help.

7. Everyone needs to stay HOME, but it's important to GO OUT.

8. There is no shortage of groceries in the supermarket, but there are many things missing when you go there in the evening, but not in the morning. Sometimes.

9. The virus has no effect on children except those it affects.

10. Animals are not affected, but there is still a cat that tested positive in Belgium in February when no one had been tested, plus a few tigers here and there…

11. You will have many symptoms when you are sick, but you can also get sick without symptoms, have symptoms without being sick, or be contagious without having symptoms. Oh, my..

12. In order not to get sick, you have to eat well and exercise, but eat whatever you have on hand and it's better not to go out, well, but no…

13. It's better to get some fresh air, but you get looked at very wrong when you get some fresh air, and most importantly, you don't go to parks or walk. But don't sit down, except that you can do that now if you are old, but not for too long or if you are pregnant (but not too old).

14. You can't go to retirement homes, but you have to take care of the elderly and bring food and medication.

15. If you are sick, you can't go out, but you can go to the pharmacy.

16. You can get restaurant food delivered to the house, which may have been prepared by people who didn't wear masks or gloves. But you have to have your groceries decontaminated outside for 3 hours. Pizza too?

17. Every disturbing article or disturbing interview starts with "I don't want to trigger panic, but…"

18. You can't see your older mother or grandmother, but you can take a taxi and meet an older taxi driver.

19. You can walk around with a friend but not with your family if they don't live under the same roof.

20. You are safe if you maintain the appropriate social distance, but you can't go out with friends or strangers at the safe social distance.

21. The virus remains active on different surfaces for two hours, no, four, no, six, no, we didn't say hours, maybe days? But it takes a damp environment. Oh no, not necessarily.

22. The virus stays in the air - well no, or yes, maybe, especially in a closed room, in one hour a sick person can infect ten, so if it falls, all our children were already infected at school before it was closed. But remember, if you stay at the recommended social distance, however in certain circumstances you should maintain a greater distance, which, studies show, the virus can travel further, maybe.

23. We count the number of deaths but we don't know how many people are infected as we have only tested so far those who were "almost dead" to find out if that's what they will die of…

24. We have no treatment, except that there may be one that apparently is not dangerous unless you take too much (which is the case with all medications).

25. We should stay locked up until the virus disappears, but it will only disappear if we achieve collective immunity, so when it circulates… but we must no longer be locked up for that?

That is a lot different than my wife. I have been selling a few things lately. Sold my big 60 gallon compressor and some accessories for $700 and my Zino drone for $450. The drone was from birthday money mostly and she just grabbed the cash from me on both of those (and a few other things I have sold) and tucked it away.... :cry:

Oil below $0 a barrel. how is that possible??

https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/20/investin ... index.html

So can I place an order for a million barrels and they will send me $37 million since it is negative?? Time to crank up my etrade account! haha

I just hope the neighborhood HOA does not complain about the barrels when they deliver them....

Go dump your gas out. Prices will be negative soon as the sub $0 gas gets to the stations. They will pay you to fill up! haha

We have had two different white vehicles of my wife's repaired at a local Service King. I have been fine with the work they did.

I'm pretty bummed today. Lost my grandmother yesterday. She was hospitalized a few days ago with pneumonia and passed away yesterday. The last of my grandparents. And the worst is that the family can't get together.

So many wonderful memories with her to cherish though. She lived a long life and was 93 I believe.

I am glad you shared that Gary. In fact it helps me to understand that others are going though the same...or worse.

Nothing fun like that. I got a new security camera in yesterday and tested it. We have a ring doorbell but our door is set back and needed something to watch the driveway. Needing to figure out where I want it and then mount and get power to it.

No troubles. My teenage son enters and leaves via the garage door and the ring does not pick that up. So wanted to be able to keep an eye out and general security. The camera is cheap...but to get the cloud thing is like $70 a year. I am not sure if there is a way to not have the cloud to be able to record stuff and save it if needed. Still looking into that.

I think the ring is only like $30 a year.

Yes. My Eonon head unit came with one. It works pretty well. But I can only use their software. Would be nice to use other apps that show date and time and speed...etc. Ok...maybe not speed...but the other stuff....haha

Not sure if there is clearance for the shock...but if so, possibly bolted the shock up the to bottom of the control arm? I think it would hit or interfere somehow.

Maybe hang it on there with zip ties for now. Sucks to get a ticket when you have been trying to fit it.
