This is the only picture you will ever see of my true face.

I have been tempted after reading that NASA racers were donating old helmets to use as face shields for workers testing for COVID-19. (Which is cool as hell.)

Maybe this is how I should ride around the neighborhood? All I have is a scarf, and I’m sure my out-of-shape panting in a full-face helmet would be a bit better, all things considered. I dunno how the Hans posts would fare if I fell, though.

But space racers is much more cool.

Criminy, that lack-of-headliner roof is worse than the dented-in serrated edge rust with bondo sticking through holes in the Ranchero when I got it. Okay, not quite, but it’s closing in. Arguably worse than the “ripped 50-yo vinyl with fiberglass powder” in the Galaxie before I redid it.

Sounds like a plan; unfortunately, my helmet is open faced.

This is definitely how you should ride around the neighborhood! Nobody looks at you weird at all.

Mine’ s full cage, so probably not too effective.

It really is terrible, and because I never see it from this angle it normally doesn’t bother me. Now it does.  But it’s a free truck, not sure if I'll do anything about it. Rattlecanning a racing livery of some kind is a higher priority.

You look much more serious though, ready for battle in the aisles.

Get a balaclava and rock it anyway with some Dale Earnhardt bubble goggles.

Saying we’ll never see your face without the helmet is really feeling like an “expose the Stig” challenge.

I’m not going to try. But man is it tempting.

I should have said this is the only picture I will ever share of my face. Others may. But selfies are against my religion and nobody needs to see another fat white guy with a beard anyway. ;)

I have better visibility to spot the mega packs of TP and pasta.

I surveyed my garage the other night to learn I’m out of dust masks, but I did find my 3M P95 respirator from painting the racecar.  I hadn’t thought about my helmet and balaclava, but that’s another option I’ve got now.

Similar  here, i only found one left at home. The guys at work are wearing their heavy duty respirator masks in customer cars instead of burning the couple of dust masks we have left for shophands. I’m using my cycling cold weather mask mostly, and the helmet for fun on errands. Does the job and adds a   chuckle, which we all need nowadays.

Hahahaha, I’m just kidding anyhow, not interested in pulling an invasion of internet privacy on ya!

...especially now that i know it’s another bearded white dude.
