During his shelter at home time, Steve Kennedy has been catching up on the "I’ll get to it when I have time list" and various chores around the house. He fixed cabinet doors that haven’t completely shut in 12 years, and he welded a chair leg back on.

He has time to break down, clean and oil his reels. He puts the gears and bearings in ultrasonic jewelry cleaner — which he bought for me — for vibrating the grime out.
