Decided the car was a bit grubby. The wheels were particularly filthy so I set about with a brush and cleaning tools.

That made the rest of the car look dirty so it got a wash and chamois.

It's far too warm for this nonsense. It was -5 last week, now it's 28. The wild changes are too much to keep up with.

Started the car up, first time since Saturday so it was stone cold and lumpy. It left hazy sunbeams in the garage.

Things are slow, places are closed, a few local things are open (as you see by the Thursday ritual).
Trying to attain a sense of normalcy amidst it all.

It's like groundhog day here. Weekends don't mean anything anymore. I actually look forward to going to work.

There's a little bit of that going on here, one day much the same as the last.

Been trying to break it up a little, which isn't as easy after a year of this as it may seem.
