Bill, no sherry in the hot chocolate but it was Ghiardelli chocolate!

I've never had it, but it does sound good.

The weatherman lied again. Said it was going to rain this EVENING, It is raining now and has been since 7 A.M. Pouring down. I am glad I opted for a ride to the quacks rather than pedaling my butt in like I was going to.

when I stop for a few groceries and a jug of water in Indio,
I'm thinking I may start up generator and run the a/c for last hour of trip.
try to precool this box. Never driven with rv a/c on, many folks
do, and I'm sure the folks who owned the rv before did. Doesn't burn much gasoline and would be turned off as soon as I plug in.

Drew - you will pass by a lot of Joshua trees,
They are endemic to the area. Can always tell when a movie is made in that area by seeing them.

Not my picture:

I installed a second ac system in the motorhome driven by the engine with the evaporator mounted mid ship to avoid running the generator when driving

Good Morning,
Don, on the lighting, is there any chance you could install a couple WiFi switches for what you want turned on and off ?
!

I will look for some, I need 2, one for front, one for back yard. Thanks for the suggestion.
Anyone using a good Wi-Fi outlet switch?
Recommendations?

Great pics! And glad to see all the greetings and meetings.

Thanks for the info!


Chuck Yeager, a fan I am. Always wanted a Bee mint to go on a crazy dangerous mission.
That 400 has some wow performance. Understand if your a bit somber over it going. Closest thing I've been on to compare, and only for a 22 minute flight, was a Turbo Commander with twin 733 shaft HP engines. That baby would put you in your seat. We didn't climb real high, and IIRC, on the downhill part of the flight we were cruising at 330 knots for a 2-3 minutes??? Is that possible?

Your the helper hero of the day! Those ribs sound really good. I didn't see any oil drips under that Norton?
Glad I don't have to commute in LA....or anywhere that congested. Traffic is one thing I don't miss. My kind of Traffic is the kind with Stevie Winwood singing and playing.

Got home at 545pm, got on the tractor about 615, mowed until 830 well past dark. It was slow going in many places with deep Johnson and Bunch grass. Very dusty. Thunderstorms all around me but not over me kept it cool. It was very hot at first. Wore my N95 respirator.

Paul, have a good time playing at your high school reunion. That is a lot of amp to have to jam out. Will you be able to "crank it up"?

Frits, tire holding up? Hope so.

Wagtail, good on the tree felling. You too Billy. Farwood as we say around here.

Hope all have a blessed day. Prayers.

Looks like Ukraine is putting some ammo dumps out of commission.

I think they make the Blackjack brand gum too. Both should appear on the shelves as Halloween approaches.

Good morning! Low of 47°, going for a high of 80°. Seems the weather guessers have increased our highs this week to hover around the 80-84 range. What happened to the mid 70's predicted last week? No rain at all.....

I think I finally won the battle against the aphids. Only a few small spots on a couple of trees have been showing up and they get the soap treatment ASAP.

Just been piddling around, not starting any 'big' projects for a bit. Hopefully soon, waiting on funding.....

Trees are starting to turn colors, Drew, you might get to see some on the way here. Sent you a PM.

Fueled up at Costco the other day... $2.66/gal. Other stations in the area are at $3.29.

Everyone have a great day!

70°F and no rain

Beautiful day yesterday and I enjoyed most of it on Sophie’s BX. Got lots of mowing done. Likely continue today.

Splurging on Angry Lobster night tonight, end of promo and close enough to our anniversary. I doubt the future inheritors of our estate will miss it to same degree we’ll enjoy it.

Enjoying having a fully functional Apple Watch again. Can’t really complain as the old one was a version 5 that I got for free. It was only this past year that functions were limited. When I attempted to trade in Apple said they would send me recycle material.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Remind me, why are you not looking in Augusta, Rockingham or Page counties?

I did, just nothing that we liked at the time.
Prefer WV for the more relaxed building permits.

My realtor called, We found out it’s the current neighbor that wants to buy, the one we first had issue with.
I said what they offered plus they pay any realtor fee.
Will see where this goes.

Back from the quacks. 1st he filled out the form and insisted on him faxing it to the MTO. Then he put that I needed a functional assessment that means more money out. That is quite the racket those quacks have. First they lift my license, then they charge me for filling out the forms AND expect me to pay for the forms fill out AND the functional assessment and the road test. In the meantime I don't have a license so I have to pay someone to take me to all this crap AND the only income I have is my two pensions $1200.oo/month. That is on top of the $234.oo worth of goobers they want me to take.
And then when I wanted to pay for the visit and form fillout, $60.oo they refused payment because I tried to pay with my card. "We don't have a machine" was their lame excuse, but they wanted me to go to a bank machine and get the money because they are too lazy or too stupid to get a machine. The last form they filled out for me cost me $20.oo, I had that, but that is all I had.
