So now what ??????????

Jack Matyas · 03-23-2020, 11:31 AM

Now that the country has been taken over by COVID-19 most states have been shut down and business owners have nothing to do all day.Here at Bethlehem Auto Sales is no different than other businesses that have been forced to close with no end in sight .Here at BAS we're bored and it's just the beginning - we'd love to open but as you'll see they check and are willing to arrest anyone who doesn't comply .Any ideas on how to pass the time?????

I’m helping two grandchildren with virtual classrooms, will have an interesting parent/teacher conference later today.

Start looking through old Classracar threads!

My wife and I are spending more time in prayer and devotionals. Watching streamed worship services.

In addition slogging thru 15 years of VHS tapes, racing, children's soccer games, pep rally's, old movies

Cleaning rear storeroom of stuff, and many trips to dumpster. Cleaning closets of old clothes I won't wear and can't fit into, ready to take to city mission when appropriate

Trying to navigate "Marco Polo" with 13 grandkids, making silly videos and watching vids sent to me.

Watching NHRA fluff pro vids, watching TV car restro shows, and of course watching the news.

Calling CFE (still open), calling Dan Olson (operating), chassis shop (no answer)

It is my opinion we are on hold until June/July if that. Worried about what kind of country my grandkids will experience.

Can't wait until I hear open headers and re-meeting old racing friends, sorry I took all that for granted

Stay safe

I have an idea. How about some of you guys that are good with videos and streaming show us what you are doing in your garage. I'm sure there are things you can do to the race car or shop that you have been putting off.

I will be back later with a video just tinkering in the garage....

Everyone should have a project that they have been wanting to do!
I need to rewire my engine test stand and replace a couple of gauges.

Jeff Niceswanger · 03-23-2020, 02:36 PM

So the engine isn't back yet, but Suzie and I have this little theater we put together. Never seem to get down there enough to watch movies and video concerts (at a spirited volume) LOL. Well, we're doing it now...It's actually better than the theater, sounds like your "inside " the set of the movie or concert.
For you tech guys, its 660 watts per channel, plus another 750 a piece in the two 18 inch sub woofers that are not shown in the pictures ..
Marantz electronics, Bang and Olufsen (B&O) turntable, Legacy speakers and amplification with Morrow Audio cabling ....

Some bad timing for me. Sold house( that was great) then new home flooded from sewer back up. Insurance pays for us to stay in condo, but all tools and parts are in storage until new home is fixed. Their saying 60 to 90 days before being done. No garage, no tools, no parts.
