The Coronavirus Chronicles -Three Strikes You're Out

[Gone in 60]

Quote:I'd say it's coming along great! I expected it to look a lot worse! Quote:And the Escape is looking good.
Thank you, gentlemen! That shows what three rainy days locked in the garage with nothing better to do will achieve. My wife says I should be a professional detailer, but I have a maniacal sense of perfection when it comes to vehicle cleanliness. Rather than taking three days to do that, if I were to make any money, I'd need to do three of those in one day. I'd go broke.

Yesterday, I went to collect my wife and finally bring her home from Fallbrook after she was confident that her Mom could manage herself for a few days. She can't drive currently due to a condition that she's recovering from. I told her that I wanted to drive her Dad's Ford for the back-and-forth trips to burn the rotting smells out of the engine, which gave her pause as she remembered the car in its former condition. When I arrived, she said "Lay a sheet down in the back, I don't want my things to get dirty." When I showed her the car, she was very impressed. Other than the smell, which I really hope goes away soon.

Quoteid it occur to you being out of condition is also a product of your having been pretty ill for a while before Covid set in?
My goodness, Cormanus, you have an excellent memory. Yes, I was hobbled by pneumonia over the holidays. I fully recovered by January, and looked forward to my event season kicking off, which would afford a great deal of strenuous outdoor work, putting me back in fighting shape. Unfortunately, we just got two events in before the lockdown, so I didn't get in as much of a workout as normal before I started living on the couch when the world stopped. My wife and I have been walking and doing some workout videos on TV, but it's not really the same as lugging tents and equipment around.
