And the Lemans rebuild comes to a screeching halt
« on: March 15, 2020, 08:16:30 AM »
Thanks to this virus im officially out of work for god knows how long, my industry is completely shut down. And no work in the foreseeable future.  Im a union prop master in film and television for local 52.  It was going really well and getting close to the end,  have to paint the bodywork, get my rims back from powder coating (may tell them to take their time), tires, get a new dyna ignition and coils and purchase a fancy Zard exhaust for the bike.  No income means no spending I guess.  guess its a good time to double check all the work I did and make sure its all ready to finish at some point.  At least the weather is ok and its not the dead of winter, unheated basement and garage where I do all my work.  At least ill be well rested and my house will be clean :)

Allen, Bummer. 

I talked to our mutual friend a few days ago and he said that locations were shutting down left and right. Good luck, hopefully this will change for the better,  sooner than later.

Sorry to hear it.  Hopefully things will turn around.  Does the union provide during these times?

No help from the union, maybe that'll change.  Not expecting any. Will be filling for unemployment and dipping into saving.  Im going to enjoy my time off and not worry about money.  Why bother worrying over something I have no control over.  Going to eat healthy, sleep, exercise and organize all my crap.  if I worry about everything ill go crazy.  I already live alone in a really quiet area.  When my cats start talking back to me, thats when ill worry

Sorry man, hang in there. Things will settle in the next month or two. At least you'll have more time to plan the project

This is the best attitude to have!!! If more people had your attitude things would be immeasurably better. Kudos sir.
