Good question, if they were smart they would have made it a bolt on conversion, if it works as good as it supposed to and a decent price they'd sell a $hit ton of them, I would think..

Lots to keep me busy this weekend. Hang lights once I get the trailer out of the garage. Mow back yard and may hit the front again. Should dig a hole in the front yard to fix a leak in the sprinkler line and change a sprinkler out. Need to trim the trees in the back yard. Spray the side yard to start killing it. If I get time I started a little project on the side for fun. We will see if I can finish it over the next week or two. If it comes out ok I may do another.

Busy weekend I see, what are you spraying the yard with?, what's this project?

Trucks haven't moved since Sunday. The commute is great so far. Not freezing my a$$ off and not having to wear a sweat shirt all day has been nice. Yea I could get use to this.

Have no idea. I'm guessing until this bug is under control. We got a report that a worker over at the airport got it and died. From what they are saying he had other underlying medical issues. Sounds like he had minimal contact with other workers. No threat to the terminals. Haven't heard if he actually infected anyone els.
If people don't start staying away from other people this isn't going away.

Yep, people that have issues and low immune system really need to be careful, like just stay home. They say it's supposed to peak out middle of April, so I'd say a couple more months before we get any relief.

They closed schools around here for the rest of the school year this morning. I have to agree, we are far from out of the woods with this thing. There are some folks that are not taking this serious. There are rumors this will burn off in the heat. Docs are saying they don't have enough info to prove that will happen like most virus's will. I hope it does but I have a feeling it will hang on.

Got a few things done this weekend so far. Went and got my hair cut Saturday morning. Came home and we went and ran a couple errands along with going to get what we could for groceries. Sunday spent working on the chevy. Greased up the front end and bled the brakes. Probly should have been done 100,000 miles ago since it's at 158,000. Now waiting for the center console lid that broke as I got In the truck Sunday morning. . I guess I done good since the truck is 18 years old and I have heard a lot have broken years ago. Went to the eye doc this morning. We are in a wait and see what happens right now since any procedure that could be done can't be done as it's non essential but he wants to see how quickly my site is actually degrading mainly in my right eye.

Yeah, nobody is doing procedures unless necessary now, hope that won't effect getting a date to get my back fixed, although he did say I needed it done, so we'll see..

I would say if something is broken that would be deemed necessary.
Spent Tuesday in the yard. Started in the front. Mowed and edged then turned the sprinklers on and adjusted the changed sprinkler. Went to the back and trimmed up the trees that needed it real bad. Spent the rest of the day doing that and didn't get to mowing it. Maybe tomorrow after work. Need to straighten up what's in the trailer so I can get the tree trimmings in then hopefully I can get to the dump Saturday morning.

Yeah, I sure would think so..
I'm just gonna get the same person that cleaned ours up last year, I ain't about to pull an acre full a weeds. Wish there was a way to completely destroy the ground so nothing can grow, that weed killer is a total waste, all it does it make the weeds dormant until the next rainfall, then they're right back up at attention, that sucks.

Yea it seems like if you spray them they multiply. I used Spectracide (spelling) ground clear on the oleanders out back and they are not offering to come back. Except the one that's now dead. I had some weeds pop up a few months ago in the same planter and they have not offered to return. Maybe some gas and a match.

Well, burning it turns it into fertilizer, remember my dad used to burn the front lawn every spring, first rain the lawn was instantly revived.. Can't win for losing.

Welcome to Arizona. The weed capital of the world.
Mowed and cleaned up the back yard on Saturday. Hosed down the patio and the matt's at the doors. Kind of dinked around the garage most the afternoon. Sunday replaced the console door on the chevy and worked on the boat a little. Going to need a major cleaning before it goes anywhere.

Yeah, no $hit.
Got a neighbor to clean mine up, but looks like it's gonna be interrupted for a couple days with this storm coming through, day after he'll have to start all over..

This is going to be the weekend that I'm going to get to work on the boat to change that fitting. Looking at it last weekend, not going to be fun, but needs to get done so we can float this summer. Then it's MAJOR bath time.

Now that's a scary thought. Also I wonder how well they retro fit even if you already have a Volvo Penta drive?
