The 544 is safely stored indoors. I picked up the second SU carb from storage today for cleaning. I could still use the Harbor Freight garage if anyone wants to send me one. I still have three 1975 Volvos outdoors.

Good.
Here's an Amazon Canadian 123GT on BaT......

Interesting that it's in VA but has West Seattle Swedish Automotive plate frames, so there's some connection.

Thanks - We beat it down and stomped it!!.....sort of...
We're fine, but looking back there are some odd things. The exhaustion and foggy-headedness lasted a while. I've had a nagging little cough. My wife couldn't smell or taste for a long time. Is it cold and dark now and we're naturally needing to sleep more..? I'm having a slow time getting some aerobic fitness level back, but again it's frozen out and I'm not riding my bike. Hard to tell.
My advice would be to treat it with caution and do everything they are recommending.
One of our little nephews got sick, and we cancelled the planned Xmas eve hotdogs over the fire. No sense risking it, especially with 85 yr old Nana in attendance. They finally tested him, and he just has a cold.
Our son is a medical resident working in a Covid ward. He got his vaccine shot a week ago. My wife is a physical therapist - she got her shot yesterday. Most of us will probably get one in the spring or even summer, so it's not going away anytime soon.

Remember me wondering about the older guy I know with the '64 wagon he doesn't need? I found his house out in the country and stopped by Xmas eve to say hello. No one home, too bad. But there was quite a little Volvo collection among the buildings, and a big metal shop. At least three 240s, including a limited edition '93 wagon I believe. That's the one I met him in, and when our 240 was munched by someone I gave him the nice factory floor mats I had. It's looking a bit tired now.
Then in an alley was a V70XC T-5 (late 90's?) and a Duett under a tarp! That's not something you ever see around. No sign of the 122 wagon. He texted me once it has some rust in the forward floors and some bondo on the roof (?). He thought maybe some kids were playing in the tree and fell on it years ago.
