grumpin Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Today my truck turned 40! I was afraid I would have to post a sad photo of it quarantined in the garage, but it turned out that I needed to go out and pick up dinner tonight. So: Stay safe, everyone! Be careful with these older vehicles with respiratory problems! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to hear from you Matthew! Nice to see Grandpa's truck is getting it done. Another survivor of the great zombie apocalypse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CliftonK Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Makes sense to me: Defenestration is out Enfenestration is in Just started reading this build, loved this gem. Had some thoughts to add. If the root for defenestration is defense, as in forcing invaders back out keep windows and the like, then the root for in should be offensive. So I'm voting we change in to Offenestration. That's all I've got for now, back to reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorsai Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 Matthew! Good to see from you! Truck looks good, but lonesome. Thanks, good to be back! Not that I'd ever really left...and I have been reading up on some threads periodically. But with one thing and another the truck has taken a back seat for a while, so not a whole lot of cause to post here. Although now that spring has arrived, I expect that to change somewhat. And it was definitely a lonely ride to the wing joint to pick up dinner, but the truck *has* made some new friends recently. At the last robotics competition before the season got cancelled, the organizers gave us half of the competition carpet, on the condition we could haul it home that night: Are you taking classes from home? Nope! Those of us who have finally graduated have no need for online learning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the robotics competition, so many things have been canceled it makes me wonder what life will be like afterward. But, these sacrifices are pretty small in comparison to what some are making. I won't complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I see you're not at church.. Me - Not AT church, but from 11:00 to just now we were together via Zoom and Facebook Live. We cancelled all services as of last Sunday and have gone on-line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorsai Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 I see you're not at church.. Our church has also cancelled regular services. They were supposed to be livestreaming a mini-sermon of some kind today, but due to technical difficulties that didn't happen. It's just as well that they've cancelled; three weeks ago, when it was clear what was coming but the craziness hadn't set in, the pastor and assistant pastor demonstrated some alternate ways of greeting one another (the foot tap, the elbow bump, etc) that we could use going forward. And when we got to the part of that day's service where we were supposed to greet each other...everyone promptly started hugging and handshaking. I expect the congregation to be noticeably smaller once this is past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I fear you are right - our congregation will be smaller when this is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
