I haven't fixed the oil leak for the drive. I have the parts just haven't got to it. Also it seems to be taking on more water than normal since it got hot. Looking at the last weekend of March to take and drop in the lake to see what I can if I don't see anything while on the hose on the trailer. I also need to pull the hubs and put new seals in and repack the bearings. Been WAAAY to long in my mind.
Plus getting the concrete going and the electrical in the garage and anything ells that will spring up.
Oh and not to mention getting the AC working in the chevy and it also needs the power booster replaced and the ABS module replaced.

Between the weather, sick and other things popping up I haven't been able to get to it. I have a 4 day weekend the end of March. That's when I'm trying to focus on the floater unless I can get the concrete done.

I can relate to that.. Well, weather should be decent by then maybe you'll be able to get $hit done, as long as you can keep the creeping crud away that is..

That was a quick weekend. Didn't get much done at all. Went to Wild Pony Pass Saturday and ran the Vega. All is good. First pass was an easy pass mainly to warm things up and just to see what it will do. No popping and car ran great. Second pass it ran quicker that it has ever run. Laying down about 1000ft mark it ran 8.96 @ just under 152mph. When it was popping and crapping on it self. He dropped the jets in the carb thinking it was that. Now he needs to put the jets back to where it was and should be an 8.90 car with no problem.

I guess it started acting up again Saturday. He changed the high chip and everything cleaned up. He ran 8:96 at just over 152mph. Went to the finals and lost by .001 at the stripe.

This TP hording is just way out of control. Dumb a$$ people are freaking out for no real good reason. Are they thinking they are going to the craps in a bad way for 14 days if in quarantine? I had enough to get us through about a week. I went to Amazon and just about everything is sold out. There were packs of 9 some jack a$$ was selling for $30. I found a box of 36 of Members Mark for $27. I ordered a box just in case. They said there were like 9 left. GF went to Safeway and everything was cleaned out yesterday. Friend over in cal posted a video of a Cosco when it opened. People were literally running with cart to the TP isle. Then the camera panned over and TP packages were sailing all over and carts were filling up. Hand sanitizer as well. But soap is all good on the shelf's. Dumb A$$'s

Had a couple meetings today telling us that we need to be able to work remotely and to get our laptops setup at home to make sure we have access into work. SO that's what I did this evening. What a pain in the a$$. But oh well. Much rather work from home anyways regardless.

Getting crazy. NCAA pulled March Madness Tournament, NBA & NHL stopped their seasons. MLB has stopped spring training and postponed opening day at this point. NHRA has postponed pro categories at the Gators this weekend. Just running Sportsman. Concerts across the country are being postponed or cancelled. last I heard NASCAR will be running with no spectators. Olympics for this summer is not looking good also. Big no Prep down at Tucson next weekend has been postponed to the end of July for now.
At a moments notice we could be sent home or notified not to come in and to work from home.

While at the Outdoor show Saturday, We looked at a lot of stuff. Wandered thru a few Motor homes and toy haulers. Saw a few Side x Sides and quite a few boats. Mostly bass boats and pontoons. As we walked outside there were 4 boats that I'm guessing didn't have room for inside. As I took a glance I noticed something strange about the outdrive on the 23' Chaparral.
