Good Morning!!!! 51F @ 8:00AM. Plentiful sunshine. High near 65F. Winds NW at 5 to 10 mph.
Very nice weather wise yesterday, with mild temperatures, light wind, and enough sunshine to put solar production well into the black for the day. More of the same for the next ten days, with no sign of rain at all.
Almost forgot. That little thunder storm that dropped the hail day before yesterday spun up a tornado that tore up some fences a few miles south of here.
Never seen one come that close before.
Returned the moving dolly I bought at HF last week; it was just too small to do the job I needed it for. While I was there, I got a clerk to look at the weed burner I have to see if it was among those being recalled. Unfortunately it wasn't, as I was hoping to get a replacement where the pizeo electric sparker worked.
I did enjoy a nice burrito for lunch. On the trip I had one made with adabado, something I'd only heard about as being the sauce that chipotle peppers are packed in. It's very tasty, mildly spicy with a smokey flavor. I asked the lady yesterday if they could make one, and she said yes, but when I picked it up the other gal there said it was a pastor burrito. Turns out they're close, but not quite the same, or at least not the same as that adabado burrito last week. Next time I pass through Barstow, I know where I'm havin' lunch!
Also hit Costco. Not a shred of TP or PT to be found, though I did see a package or two rolling around in other people's basket. No wait to get in, but a handful of people in line in front of me, and most of the registers were manned. Many more people there stocking up than usual, but I'm sure Thanksgiving has something to do with it, too.
Got an email yesterday telling me that the components I ordered for the solar rack upgrade are ready for pickup, so I might go up there today to get them.
Also heard back this morning from the company I ordered a red dot sight from back in June. Over the past couple of months I'd tried emailing them, using their website contact form, and yesterday even calling them, with no response. Last night I posted a note to their Facebook page, and this morning finally had a reply saying they'd get back to me with a ship date. In the mean time, they've come up with a new version with a glass lens to replace the plastic one they have been using, so I've asked for that one instead. :crossfingers: that doesn't result in an additional delay...
Somehow this bottle of anejo found it's way into the basket at Costco, and it turned out to be a very smooth tequilla with a delicious honey finish, well worth the twenty bux it cost. I think it tastes like more...:laughing: Perfect way to celebrate the first campfire of fall, made safe by the recent rain. I wonder if Larro is still enjoying his campfires?
I think the new doorbell is haunted. The doorbell part is just the traditional ding dong chime, but twice now I've heard it make the dong sound all by itself. I suspect the ghost is hiding in the camera part that came from Unifi. Some googling might shed some light...
Got a call from my friend that bought the place up in Klamath Falls last night telling me he's headed up there today for the week, returning after Thanksgiving. He's hoping I'll join him for a few days, maybe helping out with a project or two. That wouldn't sit well with our governor, who is strongly discouraging travel within and out of the state. Then again, he's the same governor that got caught attending a fancy dinner party after telling everyone else they can't have Thanksgiving dinners with their big families in their own homes. What a hypocrite.
