Mostly - except "until the light goes out."

Hope you guys are staying safe and are out of harms way.

I got recalled back to work this week, which is nice.

I suspect it will actually feel good to get back to work. All of the KC Auto Museum people finally returned to the museum today. While the law office staff have always been at their desks, the auto museum people had been banished by the museum's executive director until June 1st. It is a lot more fun around here now.

Today, they fired up the 2019 Ford GT which was sitting directly below my office. The curator stopped by my office about an hour later to say "Hi". He said "hey, don't know if you heard it, but we fired up the GT today." Me (with a big grin): "Yeah. I heard it."

So with no one around to protect it all this time, how many miles did you put on the GT :lol:

I was warned not to touch it. Well, "threatened" is a better word.

After manufacturing and pandemic delays, finally got the wife's new Hasselblad today that was supposed to be a xmas/anniversary/valentines gift.

Forgot to get a memory card for it, cause of course you can't just slap in any old card :roll:

Oh well... I'm pretty good at waiting at this point... :lol:
