Default Time off to enjoy the C3.

I did a complete detail of the '72 today, she always looks good, but taking the extra steps to polish the chrome, it sure looks good. I put the top down, went for 200 miles today. I had time to re organize and clean the garage. Feels good to get these little things in order. I mean, I had time to unwind and rewrap all the extension cords and stack them up nice in a container. I'm running out of chores to do, hahaha.

Older picture, but I didn't take any new ones today.

Quote from the state...What about going outside?

You can still go for a run, hike, bike ride and swim under the executive order, just don’t do it in a group and maintain your distance from other people.

The executive order also includes fishing and hunting as “essential" activities.

Enjoy your mandatory time off doc and your c3. People have to keep their sanity somehow whether it's going out for an essential drive, fishing, hunting, etc......of course some of those options change if you're stuck in a big city. If they make it to where everyone has to stay home then we're gonna have some problems.

Beautiful car! To Heads U.P. I have to go to work. Which means I'm driving something most days. I'm a commercial aircraft mech. We are bound to serve the public if they need to fly. This virus stuff is bad. But taking a car out for a pleasure drive or driving to the airport is no different.

HeadsU.P. --

Someone driving their car...by themselves....and not stopping somewhere to infect anyone or to be infected by anyone is doing no harm to others, himself or to society in general.

If you want to lecture folks about doing what YOU think is right, you should become a priest, a school teacher or an NCRS judge. Just sayin'.....

I appreciate the OP sharing how he has been making use of this "downtime" we are all experiencing. Heck, I spent part of my birthday (today) installing gutter guards on my house!!
I should have taken the car for a drive.....

where im at in NE PA we were told not to drive to trails where we can go for walks along river and around the lake. I don't understand it.. I see nothing wrong with going for a drive. your still social distancing and its good for your mental health.
