  1. I do like the Mason Jar answer, but, well, you know, wouldn't bet my life on it being correct.
  2. That thumb screw takes the place of the "channellock."
  3. Search for no-fray turned up this "non-woven" fabric http://www.joann.com/olyfun-10-yard-bolt/zprd_14065353a.html Introducing Oly*Fun – “The everything material” This is one of the easiest, most versatile materials you will ever find. You can sew it, glue it, staple it, pin it or tie it. You can write on it, paint it, embellish it, stamp it or stencil it. You can scissor, rotary, or die cut it. The only thing it won’t do is fray, tear, or fade so don’t bother hemming it. • Easy to cut & sew, no hemming required • Oly*Fun is a non woven material made with 100% polypropylene
  4. I am going to the coast. The normal $7 fee for parking at Doran Beach and other places is waived. Public advisory on the status of Sonoma County Regional Parks Published on March 17, 2020 Regional Parks on March 18, 2020 is suspending all non-essential services in compliance with County of Sonoma health guidelines to prevent the community spread of the novel coronavirus (Covid-19). This status is in effect through April 7, 2020 or until extended, rescinded, superseded or amended. All parks, trails and beaches remain open so the community can engage in self-directed outdoor exercise (hiking, walking, biking) while following social distancing and personal hygiene guidelines. Parking fees are waived until further notice.
  5. The 1997 auction should have more information available. I think when Barrett-Jackson sells a car at auction they include the history on it, to the extent that it is known. They often state where it was first sold new.

  8. One of our gun store owners is refusing to close, based on Constitutional rights, and is being told he is not an "essential business."

  12. Bob is saying that the rule set down in 1950-1955 was the "real deal" not the snowflake version of modern times.
  13. This is what I've always heard: How old does something have to be to be considered an antique? 100 years The rule of thumb used by most antique dealers is that anything about 100 years or older is an antique. Items that are old, but not quite that old, are called vintage.
  14. Blood from recovered coronavirus patients could be used in a vital stop-gap treatment to help protect humanity from the COVID–19 pandemic currently spreading around the world, researchers propose. In a new paper, infectious disease experts explain how viral antibodies, contained in the blood serum of patients who have already recovered from the new coronavirus, could then be injected into other people, offering them short-term protection. This long-established medical remedy – called passive antibody therapy – dates back to the late 19th century, and was widely used during the 20th century to help stem outbreaks of measles, polio, mumps, and influenza. Much as it aided us before, it could be a crucial and practical tool now in the fight against COVID–19, a team from Johns Hopkins University argues in the new study, adding that antibody therapies can also be made available with urgency. "Deployment of this option requires no research or development," says immunologist Arturo Casadevall. "It could be deployed within a couple of weeks since it relies on standard blood-banking practices." For the treatment to work, recovered coronavirus patients would need to donate their blood after recovering from COVID–19 and while still convalescing from the disease. During this phase, the blood serum would contain high amounts of natural antibodies produced to combat the SARS-CoV–2 virus. Once the body produces them in response to pathogens, such antibodies can remain circulating in the blood for months and even years after an infection. http://www.sciencealert.com/a-classic-therapy-from-the-1890s-could-help-protect-against-coronavirus-experts-say
  15. The seller admits, or says, in the advertisement that it's more of a Studebaker. And the hood is not rusty. I was amused the fenders are rusty, but the hood is not. Why would that be? Although rather rough around the edges, this 1958 Packard Wagon is one of approximately 149 produced. Built in a time when Packard and Studebaker were merging, these Packards unfortunately, were little more than Studebakers with some extra body bits tacked on.. On this particular car, the additional fins and quad headlights are obvious add-ons. The hood, front facia and fins are fiberglass, the headlight pods are metal.
  16. That Ohio company I said I've lost a lot of money on, the iron supplier, has been ORDERED to cease construction of it's new plant due to the virus possible "threat." However, their mining operations, and the operation of their old plant can continue. So, this lacks common sense. Construction activities generally allow workers to keep some distance from each other. Welders and crane operators lifting steel beams and things like that. In California construction work is considered essential, and all construction workers can continue, both commercial and residential.
