    Too comment or not to comment! That is the question

    The mask issue has been a non issue for much of Northern Colorado. The smoke from the fires means I have even been wearing a mask when driving ;-) I am a realist. I believe it only helps a little bit and it is not the answer to Covid I am almost 70 and had Covid with no issues. I wear it at...

    Anybody else out there do their own body work and paint their vehicles themselves?
