I heard that Ford said they will make respirators and medical devices if they can and are allowed. Makes me damn proud to be a Ford man.
yea it sucks hardcore, filed for unemployment right away and my buddy said that I can help him in his auto repair shop a few days for some cash. auto parts/service was deemed 'life-sustaining' but sales was not. at work they are no longer allowing any customers inside the building. Surprisingly myself and my GF went to the store today, it was about average for a Saturday morning and people were only buying what they needed


plus side is work said this is all temp and everyone will be called back ASAP

This is how I occupied my Thursday. Complete detailed and ceramic coated my moms car. And that little surface cleaner for the power washer makes an excellent underside cleaner

Hopefully mortgage companies and other lenders are compassionate towards the circumstances we are facing right now. Did they give you any indication of how long they feel it will last? Last night the news said Utah has had a huge upswing in unemployment filing. Utah had one of, if not THE lowest unemployment rate in the US in 2019 at 2.8% and also led the nation in job creation. So this is starting to make me uneasy, to say the least.

not really, no one seems to know. I do know that I can defer my cable bill, and even my truck payment. yes it will cost an additional fee for my truck but I can defer it for no penalty.

I have one of their pressure washers too... I really like mine as well. They are starting to go up in price a bit now, but it was very reasonably priced!

EDIT: Damn, I paid 120 for this about 4 years ago.

that's the exact one I have, bought it 3 years ago for I think 150 or 160. my only complaint was the hose is to short and plastic wand that it comes with is garbage. had to buy a more robust one last year and a longer hose.

Agreed on that... it kinks a little easier than I'd like it to. What did you get to replace yours?
