Greetings from the Twilight Zone.....We've been under lockdown since Monday at 5pm....My county had 18 cases as of yesterday....Wake County to our North had 138 so no way in Hell I'm heading that way....I've had hand sanitizer dripping from my socks here lately and I'm running low....No ISO is available and not really sure if I've got VG but I do have a gallon of moonshine and I'll use it straight need be...Had need to hit the DMV....get this....Went to Elizabethtown and found they close early due to the virus.....went to Angier the next day and they are closed indefinitely....Left there and went 50 miles to sanford where I'd been a few days earlier.....They closed at 3 and it was 3:10.....That was Friday....Went back to sanford to see my tax lady and hopefully get signed up for that 1200 check....She's really sick and now retired....H&R wouldn't see things my way so I guess the Hell with the 1200....Drove by the DMV prior to the tax lady and there was a line out the door....Hoping it would settle I drove back after and the line was 4X as long...The Hell with the germy DMV as well.........
Hustling 101....heard the neighbor lady was looking at a Ranger up the road....Mine still needed a little work and some tires so I offered at a 1000 discount and she bit...That was DMV trip and 1/2 gallon of sanitizer 1....I'd been shopping another enclosed trailer smaller than the one I had....I preferred silver to match mine....I required the trailer had extra height because steel and my skull don't agree....About 1 in 30 or so have extra height and I was looking at a new one....Right when the Ranger deal was made I found a 2020 trade in....7x16, silver and a foot extra height....the Ranger deal was made on Friday after 5 with money to change hands on Monday....Then they put me off until Wednesday....I could have went down and purchased the trailer but I kinda wanted to feel rich for just a few minutes and I really didn't wanna rush it either....I waited....nervously....I researched and found the identical trailer in black for 5800 plus tax and prolly some dang lot fees
thrown in....the Cat was asking 4400....That was the reason for being in Elizabethtown....I
threw 4000 at him and it's in the yard now....It was titled December 27th....So 3 months old and a 2k savings...Maybe some day I'll be able to get a legal tag.....
Now the rear brakes are scrubbing on the Tacoma....200k dang near it so I guess they lived a long life....
shop was a wreck from all the stuff I've drug up so I've been working on that this week....just about there...used my new grill for the first time the other day....I smoked a brisket according to the recipe from the grill website....Being a brisket rookie I found I only had a flat.....a whole brisket is a flat and a point....Still it turned out edible....The grill performed flawlessly.....Gonna try and hit a pork specialty store after I get some brakes...place is called NaHunta and is on the other side of Smithfield in the woods so a lower virus risk....I'm taking the dang big cooler and the dang sanitizer...
