That is awful. I think about my head squishin like a watermelon every time I’m nose to nose with a differential or frame piece.
Wow, thanks a lot. That's all I will think about now when I am under there.
Yikes, I definitely didn't need that mental image. Guess I won't be going near a jack or jack stand for a while if I can help it.
If all goes well I have 2 weeks before I do.... Then routine tire rotation/oil change.
I have another 2,000 miles to go before I will be due to change the oil again. Still could be a while before I hit that point since we are still working from home for the most part.

Sorry for the visual. The guys at work have pretty much quit going to food troughs like Golden Corral because of my descriptions of what could be in or on the food there. Haha.

Stay away from the chocolate fountain... or as I call it the booger fountain. You ever see the rat bastard kids that go up to that thing? You better hope all you leave with is the chinese virus.

Yep, a large buffet is not the type of restaurant to frequent these days. No telling what you could catch going there. Even before this virus it has always been a cesspool for germs.

In general it is best to stay away from them especially these days.

Truthfully I am not worried about catching this thing, and I do my best to cover up when outside so that I don't give it to anyone else should I be an unknown carrier.

It seems that things are getting better these days. Still it is best to protect yourself. I think wearing face masks will become very normal for quite some time to come.

I hope you aren't right.
Like I said, I wear a mask when I go out to protect others, but I was shocked this weekend when I went to the store and saw how few people were wearing masks any more.

When I went to Lowes and Home Depot yesterday I noticed the same thing. Very few people were wearing a mask other than people working at the stores.
I figured it would be more wide spread. Especially since it is meant to help other people more than anything else.
