  1. Has anyone found any masks they really like? I'm going back to work in June and I'd like to get some decent masks to wear that aren't miserable and are effective. I'd like to use something with a valve to reduce heat, but understand that those only protect me and not everyone else.

    What are your thoughts on the pm2.5 masks/filters everyone is selling? I understand that the virus is smaller than that??

    So I wear surgical masks all the time when I am in the OR. For long cases, I usually bring cough drops, gum, something to keep moisture in your mouth. To me they are the most comfortable, but can dry your mouth out.

  2. That shortage of meat processing employees...i understand, but damn...

     

    If you're going to kill that many cows, I've got an 8ft bed on my truck...just tell me where I need to go and I'll take a cow carcass home. I'm no butcher, but I can figure out how to cut away some of the good stuff and dump the rest at SWACO :D

     

    A pig farm in Van Wert is letting you come and get a pig at $.50/pound. They are 268 pounds.

  3. I received the draft of the CDC/FEMA plan. They call for a phasing in approach starting May 1 and having most areas and things open with precautions in place by June. However, with "hot spots" still shelter in place as needed. Some say it's too optimistic, but I hope it's about right.

     

    I sure hope that is true. As mentioned above, I am in the medical field and have been directly affected as there is no elective cases. A Hospital outside of PA is starting certain cases today depending on the patients risk factors to COVID. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks we will start to hear the plan to be rolled out.

  4. I'm honestly proud to be in Ohio right now compared to some other states. Working from home when my job is to get in front of customers and support their cases leaves me stir crazy. Thankfully I have been able to get a lot done at the house that I normally would of spread out over a couple months. I am hoping that because of the numbers, models and our leadership Ohio will relax the restrictions just for residents. Still quarantine when coming from outside of Ohio and protective measures but let the economy to start to come back.
  5. I'm pretty sure this has more to do with preventing domestic violence than any liberal scheme to take away your guns.

     

    Yeah, this one's a little surprising.

     

    That is happening now as of close of business today.

  6. Has anyone heard about any crazy rumors??? Perhaps from anyone aquainted with the national guard??

    I have. Starting to make it's rounds that we will go on a lock-down with curfews starting tomorrow. We shall see if it happens...

  7. Well, the joys of home ownership have struck again, two steps forward, one step back.

    Had some ice damming this morning when we woke up. Water dripping in from the family room ceiling:9676790d0c1776cb3567e07b3e95ef0b.jpg35279b6a401ca1ded4fe0f008d868cdc.jpg2f4494b9b62bc03fce6de7eb39ca2e80.jpg

    Brother in law had that exact same thing happen Saturday. Fortunately it went just to the garage.

  8. ecs tuning is in ohio and should be able to give advice. the bimmerforums are a great place to learn from. from what I have found so far with the e36's, is anticipate to spend 3-5k in a hurry for "bolt ons". 1kish for cams, 1-2k for valve train (solid rocker conversion), 500 for vanos delete, god knows what for a decent clutch, and plus ecu with a tune. I went with the route of get it dead reliable and upgrade the suspension before anything else.

     

    if its the engine I think it is then tune, downpipe, turbo's, tuning, and your car will boogie.

     

    I personally woudn't take advice from ECS. I would only order from ECS but expect stupid shipping charges on items when we are so close. You can also pick it up at ECS now if you want to make the drive.
