Also depends on the material. These are printed in PLA. It's easy to print, cheap, fairly strong and biodegradable from corn starche. You can also print in ABS, TPU, PETG, and some nylon. Par for the course for the time we are in. Our governor is more concerned about her vp campaign then MI residents so things are a bit of a mess. See what happens may 1st I guess, see how long it gets extended and what else she bans.

Then after working the last two days on the property, I hopped on Q this afternoon, with two beers and an ice pack in the tail bag, and road down to Lion's Park, sat on a picnic bench by myself and watched Sutter Creek ramble by.... Don't get much better.

My laundry tub in the shop started to leak, so that produced a project to line the walls behind it with tileboard. Took most of a day. The silicone is dry now, so reassembly can begin. That sink is super convenient for cleaning bike parts for the three builds I have going.

There hasn't been much change around here, we've only had 3 confirmed cases in our county so far and none of them required hospitalization. And the county seat of Mcconnelsville (8 stoplights altogether) is the only place I've seen any changes. The chain restaurants and stores are following protocol and some have installed plexiglass. But we're deep in the bible belt here in southeastern Ohio so church services are still being held and there's been no following of protocol in all the other tiny towns.
I been riding my Foreman 500ES and using it for my basic transportation for supplies. When I wrecked my Hawk it wasn't insured yet (it is now) so my license is suspended till February 14th of next year. But we and several other communities live in ATV friendly towns so on the rare occasion you do see a cop there's a good chance he will smile and wave, whereas if you were in a vehicle he might pull you over because he's bored. I've also decided to get healthy. I've cut my cigs back to half a pack a day which is way better than 3 packs a day, been drinking lots of bottled water and eating 3 small meals a day rather than one large one. And been exercising and walking alot more. I got a really bad diagnosis last fall concerning my A-fib and heart failure, and 2 weeks ago I had 2 near death experiences and decided I had better make some changes if I wanna see 49yrs. And I found a cardiologist in Athens whose willing to perform the A-fib surgery, but that's been put off because of this virus crap. So I'm gonna do what I can and hopefully enjoy my summer.

Annual Detailing
Did the annual Tweeker Detail to Q, the last couple days of lockdown. New oil and K&N oil filter, cleaned, adjusted and lubed chain, washed, waxed, and polished all the alloy/aluminum including the swingarm, muffler and both rims, then polished the stainless spokes (HATE that part!). Then detailed all the controls and cleaned and Armor All'd the black stuff. Just love this freaking bike.
Now to get it dirty..........

Ancient history. I was a helicopter pilot in the Marines. They let us take the commercial pilot exam based on military experience and get our license.
-i have not taken the controls since the 1990s. I did not fly for a living when I got off active duty. I would have needed to get a CFI, Multi-engine and Part 141 to be competitive as a civil pilot.

Good luck cheesy. For eight years, we've been smokin' them out with gopher bombs, poisoning them, gassing them with the exhaust attachment to my old truck, flooding them,....and mostly shooting them when they pop up, like Whack-a-Mole. They've Swiss cheesed out entire ridge. I'm waiting for our little house to collapse into a gopher sink hole.
Mrs. 2LZ spends a lot of her time like this.....
