I agree that while I didn’t need it, if it’s getting handed out I will take it. Never been on unemployment so I don’t feel like I am taking advantage.

I will say I have been eating out more and tipping much more than normal since this started

Hey bird72, did you have to put longer wheel studs for the new wheels. And how long were they.
I've been wanting a set of those in matte black for my 65

And Chief what car are you putting your wheels on.

Yes, that is a crummy light shot to show color well. We are in Kalispell, where are you?

Like others we didn't need the money so it all went to a handful of favorite charities. I didn't feel I deserved it but it felt good knowing it went to people in need.
We haven't been eating out much but I have been tipping well when we do.

Same with us.
We are retired and Covid didn't hurt our finances at all. In fact, we saved money because of no eating out or vacationing during this time.
Just doesn't seem right to keep the money when so many people are genuinely hurting.

When the first stimulus check arrived it went to a local church's free lunch program. They had normally served about 50 lunches per day, but asked for donations when they were serving over 200.
My second stimulus check got cashed and disappeared...

My 72 convertible was that originally. I think I'll go back to it when I repaint it. You don't see that color that often.

I'm in Thompson Falls

Like the TT choice... Always been my favorite classic wheel.
I heard about this the other day and was skeptical...but I wonder how this stimulates the economy? Maybe it does but I can't quite figure it out.

I didn't ask for it, I didn't want it, but years ago I learned the futility of trying to reason with the government.

It is in the bank, drawing a very low rate of interest.

I consider it an unasked for loan; which at some time in the future will be called in with usury-sized interest rates.

Good On You Sir!

One of them that I received I divided up between the 3 local Animal Shelters I support. The 2nd one just got deposited into my company account & went towards more parts for the 4 vehicles I am trying to build at the same time!

God Bless

We got our checks for the last go around. But I got nuthin. The Warden took it and put it in the bank.... and I'm not allowed to touch it.

Hopefully the next one will go towards a new, and bigger, storage shed. Maybe.
