Good morning and happy April Fools Day
Day #9 of our 3-week 'shelter in place' order in Michigan. Michigan is now up to 7,615 confirmed cases and 259 related deaths. Yesterday's jump in cases was again Michigan's largest single day jump with 1,117, so it's still trending up. And basically half of those confirmed cases in Michigan, 3,735, are in Wayne County alone which is increasing more significantly.
Looking forward to better weather, we're already seeing it occasionally. Also looking forward to getting the Monte out soon (last year it's first day out was April 2 so we're there).
Stay safe everyone. Stay home unless it's essential. We're all in this together.

Good morning.
Sunny and high 50s yesterday. Sunny again today and low 60s. Did another round of yard cleanup yesterday and burned some more brush. It's day #11 of our 3-week 'shelter in place' order in Michigan. Michigan is now up to 10,791 confirmed cases and 417 related deaths - 5,069 of those confirmed cases are in Wayne County alone.
Since the weather was nice, I did get the Monte out yesterday afternoon, got my new personalized plate on and went for a little 12 mile cruise with the wife

Good Morning everyone!
Well thecold came back yesterday was about 25 and today not to much better at 22.
I was able to get the yard raked and some of the debris picked up on Thursday when it got up to the 70's.
However my neighbor who has claimed part of my side property has blown his leaves onto my yard.
Actually they belong to the folks that have pin oaks in there yard, but they always find there way into my yard.
Hope you all are having a great day, Stay safe.

Hey man i love your car it is beautiful! I just bought one for myself in January and I’m now doing my exhaust system this week I was curious what size tips you had? They seem to be pretty flush with the rear valance.

Good morning guys.
Decent weekend besides the overcast/light rain we had Saturday afternoon into Sunday morning (other than that the sun was out). Got some more yard work in and burned some more brush. It's day #14 of our 3-week 'shelter in place' order in Michigan. Michigan is now up to 15,718 confirmed cases and 617 related deaths - 12,556 of those confirmed cases are in SE Michigan in the Metro Detroit area of Macomb, Oakland and Wayne Counties.

Yeah. Roads are still a bit dirty and dusty. We haven't really had any real soaking rains to clean them off yet.

Thank you! The tips are part of the MagnaFlow catback system which I installed (it's been on the car for 8 years now). They are fairly flush but I'd actually like to have them a bit more flush.

Good morning guys. I'll see about getting in on at least one of those photo contests.
Last night we had out first thunderstorms of the year. They put on quite the lightning show for a couple hours. We also had hail right away on the leading edge; we got up to 0.6" hail where we are. Luckily we were on the Northern edge of the storm system and didn't get the worst part; just 5-10 miles south of us reported 1.0-1.75" hail.
It's day #16 of our 3-week 'shelter in place' order in Michigan which is expected to be extended. Yesterday, Michigan's House and Senate voted to extend Michigan's emergency declaration through April 30. Michigan is now up to 18,970 confirmed cases and 845 related deaths.
Good luck up there; NYC and local get all the news so I didn't know you had such high counts. Day 13 of mandatory work-from-home for me (it took a pandemic to get our mgmt to allow it). The commute is fantastic. 97 was the high Wednesday here in Dallas, maybe 30s Monday morning. At this rate, my thermostat is going to break. Everyone stay safe and good luck wherever you are.
