Morning Rick.

Our werkflo has hit a speed bump. We were down to production and shipping personnel only, but someone tested positive for the 'Rona last week, so we're 100% shut down. My position remains viable simply because I manage projects, which means I have still meetings for things that won't even deliver until 2021. But it will be fun telling clients that their projects are on indefinite hold because we can't deliver product.

Morning Russ.

Mornin everbuddy. Heavy rain about 7am here, light now. Maybe it'll wash the mud off the truck and van from the last rain. Air is so dirty here it takes a long hard rain to clean vehicles off, otherwise just adds another layer of dirt. MN might be low on chemical pollution, but all the quarries around here load the air with dust.

Morning Mike.

Bob, after thawing the fridge for two days, cleaning the crap out of the coils on the bottom (looks like they have idiot engineers who design these because they are near impossible to get to), we restarted the fridge and it is cooling fine thus far. Will be calling Kitchen Aide today to see what they say.

Exactly how it feels Mick, worked in the garage for most of the weekend and was constantly working around the bike. Pretty tempted to sit on and make motorcycle sounds at times.

Bob I tried for the symmetrical pancakes yesterday to no avail. Grands ate them tho so there is that.

Good morning Mike. How is Carol?

She's just bored, calls 2 or 3 times a day, can talk a long time about important things, like what's the date on the milk... Watches PBS a lot, I set up a Roku with my second allowed connection, but it's too technical for her. The Roku isn't the problem, it's selecting the hdmi channel, there's 3 of them to deal with.

She seems to hate being alone in her house, seems like a vacation to me. I must've been a hermit in a previous life.

I don't think anyone makes a good refrigerator anymore. Even Sub Z is **** now I hear. I had one from the 80s and it was very good.

Practice makes perfect Rick. And be sure to use Krusteez. That Kodiak **** never comes out symmetrical.

Rick, I missed the final outcome. Last I heard, they said the knock was caused by the engine sumping. Did it damage the crank and connecting rod requiring replacement.
