vollychief Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I came back to work at my regular office. I spent last week at a different office helping them catch up. It was a great experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also scanned down and saw ALL of the AP bottles in the grass. That was a lot of product used. But the car looks magnificent. Good job. 👍 Bscott94 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm about 3 hours south of there. I almost accepted a job offer there. Decided it was a little too backwoods for my liking. As for the Caddy, wouldn't touch it. falcaineer and Yo-Yo Ma's Cousin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then mega foam and H2O Guard and Gloss. I showed up prepared for anything though lol SgtLip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vollychief Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I cut out some overgrown bushes/landscaping and hauled it off to the farm. My oldest son and I went to town to pick up a few things for school and some plants to replace the bushes. Got home, watered the plants (it was too late to plant them) and found a hornets nest. After 3 stings and a 1/4 can of wasp & hornet spray, I need to pick more spray tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting caught up after starting with the Monday threads. My time has been dedicated to the Greek Gods mainly with Kubernetes and Prometheus, I'm sure the technologists on here will know what they are. Five data centers, three continents and five counties and three different languages. If I forget whether is it Color, Colour or Couleur, please forgive me. mc2hill and Captain Slow 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I'll be washing groceries tomorrow! Now that the "powers that be" are saying to scrub all your produce and vegetables, wash your cans and milk and soda containers, etc. I won't have as much time to spend on my cars! And then there's the daily hunt for toilet paper! My neighbor stopped me while I was raking today and told me he has 6 - 24 packs of toilet paper for him and his wife. That's 144 rolls! And I can't find ANY! This crap is really getting too real. But it could be a whole lot worse. Stay safe everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayS Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I hear ya @Rich Growing up I worked on a farm up top of a hill and not I did not have to walk 3 miles to school and back and all up hill, but I do know what -20 and 3 feet of snow is like and the cows did not care, you still had to take care of them. I good winter storm and a week without power was not unusual, but I can tell you that it sucked. If anyone thinks we have it rough, if you don't pay attention and take some basic precautions it could get a whole lot worse. I have team members in France, Denmark, India, UK and the Czech Republic. They are taking this serious to the point were you cannot go outside of your house unless it is for a clear reason and if you don't exercise social distancing you can be fined on the spot. We are fortunate that we're all technologists and are set up to work from almost any location, unfortunately many of our clients are not and we're scrambling to help them get through this and I am very proud of the company in that we're not trying to take advantage of anyone and the focus is how can we help you. If people use common sense, think about their neighbor, we'll all get through this. Sure it will be a bit painful, but compassion and understanding goes a long way. I'm off my soap box and we have 24 roles of paper, which should be plenty for the wife and I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PA is officially shut down at midnight tonight for everything except essential life sustaining services like pharmacies, grocery stores, etc. Manufacturing, shopping centers, nearly everything else has to close or face fines. The governor even went so far as to close rest areas and welcome areas on the turnpike and major highways, but he's since opened them back up because, let's face it, people have to be able to "go". But restaurants along the turnpike are closed (no loss there), so people will have to pay and get off to eat, then get back on to travel again. I have to say though, that we did have to go to the grocer today, and everyone was cooperative and friendly, and just laughing about the long lines because there's not much else you can do.

Congratulations! Nothing like grandchildren because you can send them back home. My kids and grandkids are in Maryland and I worry daily about them. Fortunately, they're 12 and 10, not babies any more. But still a worry since both their parents still have to work. They won't be coming home for Easter this year and that's fine. Hopefully we'll all get past this and get to enjoy a worry free summer. And maybe even get to go to Carlisle in August!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope we're out of the woods by then, but I'm 99% sure this is going to be a long, long haul, , maybe even till fall. Strange days indeed.

crowvet Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Practicing social distancing with my Riviera. Original paint that needs redone. Decided until I can afford to repaint it, I would make it look as best as possible. Day 1 Buffed out with 1000 grit, day 2 buffed out with 3800 grit , day 3 waxed.... Results = shiny patina tlbullet, mc2hill, Brownie 303 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2hill Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Did some more hurricane prep today (we got our water, food, and spare gas last month). I am working from home today, and when the wife and I went out for lunch, we saw there were still piles of sand at the local county park. After lunch I loaded shovels and gloves in the truck and headed up for my 10 sandbags. It was hot in that parking lot, but I am happy to have that chore out of the way. Last year I was planning to do the same thing just before a storm was predicted to hit, but the line to get into the park was over a mile long.
