The short answer is that it is working from home. The, slightly, longer answer is that the difference only matters to me as I’m the only one who worked from the office full time. Everyone else only came in once a week and that’s only if they are local. Some live elsewhere and only work from home. 

My company just let us know we’re getting hit with a 15% cut, not the 10% cut that had been floated. This will be in effect for at least all of Q2. They will pay it back if the company is profitable at the end of the year, but nobody seriously thinks that’s going to be the case.

Goes great with some filleted Tribble.

When I saw the headline my guess was that it had to do with triticale wheat. The real answer is much cooler. 

I have a theory that car shows are crap because the people producing them aren’t car people and think that the car stuff is boring so they go with either the manufactured drama or focus on the money angle, or some combination of both, because that’s what interests them.

Good for rural communities in the south or the north in summer time, but winter days in the north, when there are less than 8 hours of pretty weak sun (when you can even see it through the clouds and fog) a day, might be challenging. 

Westland Distillery in Seattle is also doing it according to this list. https://www.distilledspirits.org/distilleries-making-hand-sanitizer/?sort%5B4.4%5D=desc

I let the car down on to the stands and then raise the jack back up so it’s in contact but not holding any weight and leave it there as a backup unless the jack will be in the way.

My wife went to the grocery store Friday and said that while some things were running out corned beef was plentiful (as was Guiness) so that’s why we ended up with three of them too. They also had plenty of Swiss cheese and rye bread so we’re set for sandwiches. 

There are drop boxes at libraries and other locations for those that don’t trust the USPS.

Here in Washington voting is only by mail. They send you a ballot before every election and you have to have it back postmarked by at least election day. You can either mail it or drop it in special boxes at designated locations. 

Or they can vote by mail like civilized states do.  

My 71 Camaro’s front fenders and hood were harvested as well as a heater blower motor, steering column, one of the upper control arms and thermostat housing. Pickings are getting thin now, though. Even the later 70s second gen Camaros have disappeared from the boneyards around here.

Thank you, I will rest peacefully knowing that the mail got checked.

In theory, yes but it would be parked in the driveway of a house that only cost three times as much. That's not good economics.

My company sent out an email that everyone was supposed to work from home until further notice. Except me. Now, I’m one of those that are more productive at the office but that felt a little like I was the designated sacrificial lamb. They amended that to me coming in 2-3 times a week.

I can almost wrap my head around why there is a run on some of these things, but the bottled water one has me stumped. This isn’t a hurricane and people aren’t creating earthquake survival kits. If we get to the stage of municipal water systems failing we’re well and truly fucked.

I got that email yesterday, only it specifically said that everyone is supposed to work from home except ME. I am negotiating for hazard pay. I don’t like my chances. 

Some people are in to self flagellation in the name of uniqueness. They will endure absolutely anything if it makes them feel different than anyone else. I am not one of those people. Pass.

I should have been a little clearer. My stepdaughter is 27 and living on her own. Before, though, she existed on what amounts to “bachelor chow” but this gives her a chance to learn skills and get a tastier more nutritious meal. It does also give her a sense of satisfaction as well as confidence.
