Last night it was announced that Utah officially has its first confirmed case of COVID-19 that was found in Utah. The guy had been on a cruise. There have been a couple other cases (3 or 4) that were all diagnosed before they made it back to Utah, and every case so far was contracted on a cruise ship.

We were going to go to Disneyland in June... but we'll see how that goes now.

I think this is over-hyped, but I still don't want my kids getting it.

My company exhibits at one of the largest security shows in the world, ISC West, which was slated for March 17-19. Last Friday, our company joined the list of several other major players who have pulled out (and also banned all corporate air travel until further notice). ISC announced yesterday that the show is now postponed until July after stating explicitly *last* week "the show will go on as scheduled." With attendance alone typically at 50,000, it's probably prudent. (Yeah, maybe.)

Of course now it's in July. In Vegas.
(I wonder if I can pull off the shorts and sport coat look....) 🤔

There was another large convention this past week that was in Vegas. The participants got a strong recommendation not to attend, but AFAIK, it still was held. There were some Chinese attendees that I heard were told not to come, period.

Eric O. of SMA posted this message yesterday regarding Dorman products.... and I 100% concur.

Pretty happy with this score on ebay. $50 for the full volume set plus owners manual! Normally these sets are $200+ on ebay.

Nice! I have that set in red, -keep that , with some tools and hardware at my step fathers and mothers to help them out with repairs or whatnot on occasion. I purchased the top box at a garage sale way back when; it was missing the drawer below the three small drawers at the top. What do have in that slot, haven't seen that yet ? It might explain why it's missing. I always thought it was just another drawer.

Brew, I believe that area is supposed to house a number of small, plastic bin-type "drawers."

That is a small parts box that is made to fit.

Yea that would explain it. It was missing the enclosure as well. It was puzzling when I brought it home, there were empty screw holes inside the box, but it didn't look like they were for glides or drawer tracks. Probably for the missing enclosure.

That is correct... I put my zip ties and some hose clamps in there for now. For 100 bucks, I couldn't pass it up. I was in the market anyway... been watching FB Marketplace for a while. It's not as high quality as my US General, but I love all of my Craftsman boxes. I have 3 more in the shop, LOL. I finally made the top of my US General box my DeWalt box.
