I'm going through the same thing with my gather he is just less vocal about it, and he knows you adamant and loudly I argue, so we just don't talk about covid.

My parents live about 30 miles away, and I try to see my parents every weekend now. Like you fathers, mine is late 70s. I was going to buy my wife a new car this year, but with all of the shortages, I decided to slowly replace parts on her car, so my dad and I have been doing that on Sunday mornings now. Standard stuff so far, brakes, alternator, starter, drain the radiator, belts, etc. It's been good bonding time, reminds me of when I was was kid, learning how to work on cars. I was surprised he bought the vaccine ruse, but, then again, most people did.

I'm really gonna miss that old, tough, mean SOB when he is gone.
