You would think that health care professionals would be tested on a regular schedule weather or not  if they have been exposed to a positive patient.  Seems to me the hospital would want to keep all its staff heathly.

I just saw this video yesterday .
They should be able to make these fairly quickly and rubber bands would be easier to find or large hair ties. Hope this helps.

That is way cool. Thanks. Another plus for that is the bandanas are meant to be washed. With all this layers they are probably more effective than some of the others.

Finished up the cabinets, installed new side panels where needed and new paint.
Carpeted the wall. All is installed and screwed down.

Countertops and sink is tomorrow's project.

Started making countertops and was finishing up on the sink piece when I bumped it....and it fell, then broke into 4 pieces.
Great. 😕 Lowe's is closed on Sundays/Monday's now.

Well, what you got so far sure looks good. You are just motoring away!
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Finished polyurethaned countertops.
Started on the headboard in the V-nose.
Skeltoned it in using 3/4x1.5" and 1/8" Luann.
Made the top panel removable to later put some sort of hidden A.C. in the future. Also keeps the weight down.
Started on the hidden toilet but decided to tackle the front midway through it. Till I get a better idea to finish it.

Rattiac, looking good man 👍  At the rate your going you will have it ready for a test run in no time.

Was down last week, this damn arthritis has advanced to really effecting my muscles now, 😡 Doc said eventually. Felt decent yesterday afternoon so I got my mowing done. Boy that steering knob I put on my mower last fall is really a great help, almost like having power steering. 😁
Today I got the last K10 Chevy door done. Finished up buddy Tom's cowl vent panel, and straightened and primed one of his headlamp bezels for the Viking. Temps in the mid 70s, southern rock screaming all day in the garage, all in all a pretty good day! 🙂

Hang in there Sammons.  Take it day by day!
Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

Sounds like a perfect day, glad you're feeling better...

Today me and wife drove 45 minutes north in mopar srt 300.  My 35 chevy phaeton is ready to go. 

We go for test drive, brakes switched from jag disc too Wilwood 4 piston with dual diaphragm booster and vet master 1" bore along with all the correct valves and disc disc valve.  Its like a totally different car, nice soft touch no 2 feet on pedal to stop anymore.  The way its supposed to be like my coupe is.

Of coarse car has no heater, so bundled up real good with fur lined gloves for ride home, 2 t shirts, flannel shirt and sweater with leather jacket to stop wind.  Was about 35--40 degrees , feet got real cold, so soaked them in warm water when we got home.

Did some idle adjustments to carb and return springs when I got home.

Road test out on road around corner, god damn that thing pulls and rips up the asphalt  , 450 hp at work with new crate motor, auto shifts hard also.   The changing of the jaguar mark X rear coils and shocks has really changed the ride quality 500% easily.  Now its more like my self built coupe.

The new exhaust , headers, X pipe and full tailpipes right to rear bumper took the drone right out of it.  Previously
my coupe has exh that stops right at rear end case and it DRONES AT LOW SPEEDS .  Have to change that.

Car is pleasure to drive finally.

Next major operation update is to move the front seat back at least 5 " . I sit right up on top of wheel with no leg room, like driving a goo cart.  People in the 30's must have all been under 5" 9" to drive these cars.

Car is headed off to my storage unit to park beside the coupe till we get some warmer weather.

It sounds like success to me. Nice to have that new engine because harnessing 450 horses every time you wanted togo for a drive would take a lot of fun out of it.  ::)

Had to have been a blast. Cold or not, I know you were loving it.
