Bought a set to keep schmootz, mud, dirt, and debris off the side of my GTI. They work great for their intended purpose. I was a little concerned about their esthetic, but rather than a negative - I think I like the look just fine. I do need to paint over the viewable fastening hardware...

Contractors (who aren’t being paid) are too frequently forgotten in all of this.

Needs curb feelers (but don’t we all?).

Naming could be fun: Der Camino El Golfo Der waggon-con-cama

Another German-Mexican alliance?

I was in a similar situation at the Corps a few years back; some of us worked and some were furloughed depending on how we were funded. I didn’t mind working even though some got a free vacation. I was happy to have the assurance of a paycheck. As far as my work goes now, I’d gladly work until...

If I was still at the Corps of Engineers, I’d be working this week. I did a year at the White House CEQ (non-political appointment/career Fed), but didn’t experience a shutdown during that time.
