What are all of your states doing right now as far as COVID-19? Today in Utah, some businesses are allowed to re-open with restrictions. Businesses like barbershops, beauty salons, gyms, dine-in restaurants are all able to open today with restrictions. I don't trust citizens to adhere to those restrictions, and I also don't feel business owners will police it properly as to not offend customers. I really feel we are going to see an upswing in cases in 2 weeks.

I have a brisket in the crockpot now. Yours sounds better.
" but actually place their hand on my shoulder."
That would have driven me even crazy before all this.
At our local Lowe's they have an x painted on the floor every 6 feet at the checkout lines. After seeing what 6' is I feel that was always my comfort level. It ain't that far.
I'm all for reasonable precautions but here it seems like here it is being used for political retribution by what must be closed (until the lawsuits start) and what is open and has no restrictions.
I part own a company (one of 13 owners) and as we get some tier 3 DOD contracts so we are "essential". We have always been told what to do by our insurance company. Now they are running stuff. I welcome their advise though, they seem reasonable.
One of my kids and a friend of theirs started a pizza and sub shop. It has 8 seats for people to eat there or sit while they wait for their food. It was OK at first as early rules were that restaurants can stay open if they have 10 customers or less. No limit on employees. Less that 2 weeks later they were told that it didn't qualify so it must takeout and delivery only or they would lose their license. Last time I asked he said they were at 50% revenue and many people had quit as they could get more a week on unemployment that at the cut hours.

You may want to look into this... here they also allowed the restaurants to operate as a grocery service. They have buying power to still make money off of groceries, and then they are also delivering for a fee. That has allowed them to keep the doors open.
I am also an essential employee. I feel very fortunate to be able to have income right now. Unfortunately, I can not say the same for my Wife... and she has really struggled trying to get unemployment. She's been denied twice already, and when they send the denial, they also send a message for her to reapply. Makes no damn sense.

We've been on self quarantine for the whole month of April. They relaxed the rules this week. Today after no cases yesterday, there were 9. Go figure. We now have social distancing food places, travel over 200 miles okay, camping etc. Last week a guy got arrested for DUI and also for being out of his home area. I'm waiting to see how that will play out. The DUI is a slamdunk, but the out of area is the big deal. It should be interesting how the judge rules.

I put the F150 links on the Stang today.... didn't do what I wanted it to. I need to make my own spacers and use the OEM brackets, I suppose. The sway bar, I believe, is sitting too low now. It needs to be about 3/4 to 1 inch higher up for me to like it. Ugh!

Are you trying to get the link to bar connection as close to right angle as possible?

Just trying to make room for the 351. It has a deeper sump than the 302 that is in there. I talked in great length to a guy at Ford Racing (he was very willing, and very helpful) about ways to get it to fit under my stock hood.
I used SN95 sway bar brackets, which drop it about 2 inches.... But now the sway bar sits below the K-Member. That kind of scares me, LOL.

Well the shell is off, the truck is washed, but these wheels won't come clean for anything. I'm going to get some Meguires this afternoon and see if that will take the spots off the chrome that I couldn't get with the damn brillo pads. Weird.stuff.
Finally got my yard finished here, so that is one thing done. Now to finish up the new front pieces today and hope they turn out as well as I planned. The new spray mixed paint should do well with the temps and weather today. It's all the sanding that will take a toll on me today,. At least, the backing up without mirrors will be welcomed. lol

Hey white, how do you have your fans set up in your Phenom II ? Is the processor fan blowing into the heat sink or away ? What about the case fan ?
I swear this desktop blew into the processor heat sink and the case fan sucked inward as well, - vs exhaust. This things running hot , like 110/115. It use to run high 80's low 90's.
Do you recall how your old desk top was set up ?
BTW- I attempted to flip the case fan to exhaust already, it didn't seem right that being an intake. No change. So I'm thinking the processor fan should be pulling vs pushing and the case should be exhaust. It's never been set up that way though. At least I don't think it has.
