    That's funny but makes sense.
    I heard that Covid does not like alcohol and nicotine.
    I heard it at ... a truck stop.:D

    I need to fix clutch brake on my truck, so staying home till Wednesday ... I slept in and ate a hafty breakfast and feel full but somehow I can't shake off tacos carne asada from my mind. There is something about Mexican food that will always make me want it. I'd add a little bit of mole sauce on a side...or

    Clutch brake: $1000 parts and labor...maybe more - still just a sneeze. But potentially Mon - Wednesday lost revenue: $3000-$4000. On a day like today, I vote for a brand new truck.

    When I was in LA area on frequent basis I ate a lot of Mexican food from those rusty looking Mexfood trucks...the older the truck the older the cook the better they tasted. Just in case, I always applied a thick layer of hot sauce to kill potentially harmful bacteria .... I miss those days. BTW: I cannot stand Taco Bells.

    I love fish tacos too....

    1000 bucks for a clutch brake is a little pricey

    Pardon my ignorance.. or mistaken terms. Maybe it is the whole clutch. The last time it was replaced it was about 400 000 miles ago it that cost was about $1000. Anyway, I can't put it to 1st gear or reverse without playing with ignition key. I thought it could be adjusted, still do but it happens 7 times out of 10 so I expect the worst.
    So a clutch brake is a part of a clutch. I don't know why I thought that a clutch brake can be referred to as the whole clutch....I feel embarrassed. I need a brand new truck.

    How could that be a troll? I already knew you were better than me a long time ago. I've always just accepted it.

    Such is life sometimes ;-)
