    40 of the 92 deaths so far for the Lehigh valley were residents of nursing homes. 

    My sister used to work at Lehigh Center in Macungie. The place is plastered and a lot of her former co-workers have tested positive or are suspected of being positive. She moved to Florida in February to do her physical therapy field work before graduating in May, but now that got cancelled and she can only do tele therapy. Now the school doesn't want to accept it so she's not even sure if she's graduating now. She said they weren't taking this serious down there until it was too late, a lot of places weren't even wearing masks early on.

    @skifreak how are you holding up?  I saw online car sales will be allowed soon. 

    I'm lucky because I own my property and have no mortgage on it and all my inventory is paid for. At the lot I only stock around 10 to 15 units because I mainly do wholesale, which is at a dead stop right now. I feel bad for a lot of bigger dealers because a lot of them are going to be in big trouble.

    Yesterday we got the green light for online sales but it is a joke. No test drives allowed and nobody quite understands how the titlework is going to work yet. Plus if you don't have tags in stock from Penndot currently, you are screwed because they aren't open to fill orders for new tags.

    I use Expresspark North lot.  Its on my way to the airport.  i have never had a problem there. 6 days were $60 all in.  I went the Enjorales root once and parked at the valet thing, but i hated it.  seemed like it just took forever for everything to happen. I find the shuttle to be super easy, they pull right up to your car...etc.  not sure how the economy bus is set up for 2 bags and skis.  

    I used Expresspark too when I went to Vegas at new years. My mom uses it often too and never has a problem. As soon as you enter the lot the shuttle pulls up to your car and after you load your luggage, it takes your right to the terminal. I didn't have to wait long when I got back either. It wasn't much either, maybe like $10 a day if I remember.

    Wow do you rent the condo out in OCMD?  What did you do for a living down there?

    The association bylaws don't allow daily or weekly rentals. I'm fine with that because people would probably trash it anyway. Back then I was selling online misting systems in the summer and home snowmakers, which I still do. I also had a carpet and upholstery cleaning business down there. I had a good relationship with a property manager and always had work.

    It's a nice place to live but in the off season not many people live there year round, but more people are now that baby boomers are retiring there. There aren't many younger people because it's not cheap to live there. Grocery shopping was always expensive so you'd drive to BJ's or something and just stock up. I usually just ate out or got takeout anyway.

    Do you have your own house??  Are you gonna ski this winter?

    I own a condo in Ocean City, MD. Was living there from 2010-2012. Moved back up here to start the dealership and now just use it during the summer. I'm currently saving up to build a place so just pay some money to my mother for rent. Being single and self-employed, I gave up on applying for a mortgage. Lucky I got the mortgage for my condo but I put a lot down. I hardly owe anything on it and was thinking about just selling it to build up here, but it's nice to just go to whenever to the shore.

  5. Got my tomatoes in later than usual but they seem to be doing well. Lots of tomatoes on the vines. Only planted tomatoes and peppers this year.

    I bought a new John Deere 1025r tractor last summer and have been thinking about getting a rototiller for it. They are expensive but maybe next summer I'll pull the trigger.

  6. Hyundai has lousy quality control too. I've noticed when I have a bunch of the same year/model Hyundai's, the model emblem will be in a different location on the back of the car and not be uniform. Most of the time if you look at the bottom of the car you will notice it looked like they ran out of paint as they got to the bottom of the car. The paint is so thin too that you have to watch buffing them.

    I'm sorry but luxury and Hyundai just don't go together. If I want luxury I'll buy something else. And as someone else said Hyundai isn't original and just copies everyone else. Be it their logos or car designs. The newer Sonatas look like Fusions.

    Maybe I can't believe how quiet Blue has been on their FB page. This is the time for them to get people hyped up. 

    Apparently my sisters old boyfriend from high school just got hired at blue as their "social media coordinator".  I saw he posted it on his FB earlier today. It is a far cry from being the sports caster he wanted to be and I laughed when I saw it. Who knows maybe they weren't posting because they didn't have someone doing it. I can never understand how there is a specific job just for posting on social media.
