We Don't Need A Live From But.........

[Spyphish]

Just Jane and I out here on the river. Only neighbor is a State park. Yard work where its dry. I have the three race cars ready; Great Race, Lemons 24, and Bluesmobile stocker. All of those events are on hold. Today is clean the shop and throw out most treasures that have not been touched in years. Seldom leave the property if at all. Jake/Justeaux/Phish

I live in La Crosse Wis. Things are pretty slow here and my whole entire family is doing fine. Working on the usual maintenance stuff getting ready for the upcoming season. As for yesterday we had fourteen confirmed cases but no increase and 3 had recovered in La Crosse county. Race season for us does not start till about the middle to end of April but it looks like that will not happen this year. Sometime around the 1st of June will be the earliest. To all stay safe and good luck this season once we get started.

Well, as many of you know, we don't post often on Class Racer, because Patsy always does it for us when we all travel😜. But first, let's all give a huge Happy50th anniversary to Larry and Patsy, and ALSO to Jim and Pam Marshall, which we all would have celebrated in Charlotte, next month, but our love and congratulations to you four!
Alice and I are still in Florida in our RV community near Lakeland...trying to keep our social distance at all times. Quite a few racers are here also...Larry Deforrest,Allen Wade, Tim Lowe, Wendell Howes ( had to return home), Robbie Welch, and Tommy DePascalle. We all consider this to be the safest place, as the Corona Virus is supposed to find it harder to survive in heat and humidity. We miss everyone and our racing events, but the MAIN thing here is that everyone stay healthy, and remember ...the government officials label us the elderly...we'll show them!! Joe Tysinger

We just got back from Florida after spending the winter in Davenport (near Lakeland). I was able to spectate at the baby gators and hung out with my Div 1 friends. Also got to meet Rebel Kidd (nice guy). We're back in Massachusetts under lock down. Everyone is safe and healthy. We are limiting our excursions to necessary shopping. I hope everyone stays safe and I'm hoping the powers that be will get a handle on this soon...

Here in Tacoma, Washington things are going as well as can be expected under the circumstance. I talk with friends often and can say that ALL of them are healthy at this point. I PRAY for all my friends (both racing and non-racing) and relatives DAILY. I believe GOD will help us through this ordeal. I get out of the house very little. Groceries and gas are about it.

I just dug out my Lego set and 2 boxes of K'nex building sets. This will help bring out the kid in me and help mental health.

Was glad to see the post of your 50th Anniversary. Congrats and many more to Larry and Patsy. Anyone else that has made it that far congrats also.

EVERYONE stay safe and healthy and God Bless You All.

I'm in Long Island NY and we are considered an essential utility so pretty much business as usual at work. All non essential businesses are closed and restaurants are curb side take out only. So many small businesses are going to be hurt or lost. Lives will be lost and many will be sick at some point. Sorry but the outlook here is pretty negative.
Race car needs some attention but I don't want to ship out to a company that may be closed before the work is completed due to illness or non essential demarkation.
Hope this all ends sooner than later but that is beyond my scope of work.
Stay well and stay isolated.

Great thread...helping the grandkids (5th and 4th graders) with their eClasses (very thankful for teachers making great materials available), essential travel only except for occasional motorcycle rides. Friends and family in Washington, Oregon, Tennessee and last but not least Kentucky are all doing well. Some are worrying too much but that’s understandable I suppose. As for me our Creator God is with us and I rest on His promises.

Going to make a run to the church food pantry, even have some extra TP and paper towels to donate; I’m not only blessed, I’m lucky (wife’s obsession for Costco TP and paper towels is paying off).

Take care all...

For some reason, accounting offices are considered an "essential service" so we are coming to work every day. We shut down our lobby 2 weeks ago, are handling everything through drop offs, mail, e-mail. With the tax deadline extended to July 15 it's made things a little easier.

I always do a huge shopping run before tax season starts so we have plenty of toilet paper, laundry soap, home basics to get us through.

My mom has dementia. We got her moved to a care home 2 days before dad died last June. Her care home has been in lockdown for 3 weeks now. I know she is well taken care of but I worry that she doesn't understand why we aren't visiting. This has been the hardest adjustment for me through this whole crazy time.
