Thanks for the help with the heat, I think i might have some but its hard to tell cause it was 16 this morning and i didn’t feel much. No worries though I have a Mr Bubby heater and lots of blankets!

Start doing what ever the hell you want, can’t wait to see this done!

Yeah been kinda locked down with all this shit going on and works been a mess. First thing was social distancing and no more than 10 ppl in the store and no one could touch or smell anything. Then no one was allowed in the store at all and it was drive up only you weren’t even allowed to get out of your car! That slowed things down a bit to say the least, so we started doing on online ordering to try and speed up the process and it’s helped a ton.  As of  of 5:00 tonight no cash transactions/exchanges of currency are allowed outside the building so everyone has to come back in like normal but now we have been required to go to half the staff and have a 6’ buffer between us and the customers. I work tomorrow should be fun, I have Wednesday off so I’ll stop by in the morning.

Good to hear your place of employment and you are adapting with the current situation.

When was the last time you owned a beetle Ron?

We will build it if it comes.

Thanks Pat, Franz and John for all the help and knowledge on pulling the transmission this morning, simple and kinda easy minus the smashed thumb. Looking forward to getting this back on the road again. Thanks again.
