I picked up a replacement water pump for Beater. I’ll be removing some of the parts tonight and draining the coolant. At least that’s the plan.

Tonight was the last super moon for the year 2020. It was a big mutha’ too. With all the darkness up on the hills the moons brightness is amplified.

I planned on staying up later taking a better shot but that didn’t happen. I did take a few from the west side balcony but I like this one better.

Well, Beater has been leaking coolant for awhile now. So far I’ve identified the sides of the radiator and the water pump weep hole along with the area near the clutch fans mount.

Replaced the radiator this afternoon. The damn transmission lower cooler line was a bitch to get back on.

This goes down as the strangest Easter Sunday I’ve ever experienced. This was the first time without our kids and extended family.

It was just Lorraine and I, for awhile we were able to enjoy each other’s company and not focus on the Pandemic. That was nice.

What a crazy horrible milestone. Over 2000 United States deaths in one day, over 500,000 cases of coronavirus.

This is the ONLY news that matters at this point. I’ve been working from home and partially at work for about three weeks.

I just watched President Trump estimate that at least 100,000 people will die in the next 2 to 4 weeks. This number can reach 240,000 and this is with mitigation in place.

We are going through uncharted territory for all of mankind. Sounds pretty fucking dramatic doesn’t it? It is.

The “stay at home” or “shelter in place” orders have been given by our Governor. Since then, other states have followed.

Nobody has ever seen the effects of this pandemic or any experience how to handle it. Large city streets are turning into ghost towns roadways. Dining in is a thing of the past along with non-essential shopping malls. The list of closed brick and motor business is endless.

This is a crazy time due to a pandemic called the Coronavirus. It has affected thousands and thousands of people and killed as many. It has put a standstill on economy.

We’ll see what the next few months bring.

Since the daylight savings time adjustment was last weekend I’m now able to enjoy the sunset in the evenings. I would typically get home when the sun had gone below the mountain tops.
