    Took my wife to the grocery store today, got to the main road and took a left, she said "the stores to the right", I said "We're taking the long way."

    I just got the car update mostly completed on Thursday. The wife and I both had commitments on Sat, but we did 120 miles this afternoon. Its pretty strange to see the 3 or 4 State Parks closed around here.
    I don't have pictures from our cruise, but I do have before and after pictures of the car...
    My avtar picture was taken in 2016, it shouldn't be hard to determine which pictures are the current pictures. Gene

  11. Someone posted that there was a kid in our town who was sad because the lockdown had cancelled her birthday party. So her mom put the word out that she was going to sit the kids in the front yard and would we please drive by and wave and honk. I had the only hot rod, but there was a pretty big turn out. The A Town cops and fire trucks were there. It felt great to take the Model A out and make a kid feel good, too. That's been cruising' for me this Spring, so far. It looks like we'll be on lockdown until Summer, at least, so we have to improvise where we can.

    I took a drive yesterday... to the golf course. Broadmoor GC is over by PDX and I snapped this picture of a closed runway turned parking lot. They aint cruzin anytime soon. Shot an 82 and went home and worked on the truck all evening trying to get it ready for a start up this week.

    That Ford rear window fit like it belonged there. The slightly angled 2 pieces of flat glass with the gentle approach from the body to the glass looks so much nicer then abrupt edges and sharp curves Plymouth used to install the one piece flat glass.
    Now, if I could only get an affordable garnish molding to hold the rear glass up where it belongs, things would be great. Gene

    Was talking to a coworker in Fontana California today and asked him about the racetrack there and races cancelled etc..

    He said the entire racetrack / infield / parking lot looks like a Auto dealership took it over.

    Actually what it is - since no one is traveling - it's filled with thousands and thousands of Rental Car Company cars as far away as LAX - with no where to put all the excess cars, the rental car companies are finding and using any large facilities they can to store cars during this health issue / restrictive business time.

    Race Tracks - Old Airports, Old closed Malls - anywhere with big chunks of land to park / store Rental cars.

    Crazy times.

    I go for a drive every day. Not going to work gives me a ton of free time. SoCal is full of places to go and still keep our social distancing.
    Most of us are still practicing safety from the virus. Screw the ones who aren't. You're safe in your car.
    We can drive by the beaches, we just can't go on them. Some of the mountain towns are closed off to tourists so driving to the mountains is missed by me.
    The desert is a nice drive for a change of scenery or lack there of. Depending on where you go in the desert. Our parks are closed.
    Of course, living in SoCal, Inland Empire, we can drive 40 minutes in either direction and be at someplace cool.
    We can even go to the airport and watch the planes land and take off or go to the submarine races...
    I guess what I'm saying is, If you're getting antsy, go for a drive. Make it a fun day for yourself and family. Pack a lunch. Pack drinks. Pack snacks.
    Just be safe about it.

    Wife and I feel the same Dave. I would have liked to head to the mountains with all the snow but we were leery of being told to go back. Figured Big Bear Village would have a MickeyD’s or something open then drive down the back side.
    Might head to Gorman after this weekend and see the hills covered in flowers..
    Being by HB I drive the coast on Saturday mornings after my Donut Derelicts stop. Nice with no traffic.

    Both of mine went from the barn to the drive and I washed them then back in the barn. I haven't turned on the full coverage insurance yet until this virus issue is resolved.
