Morning all, sunny, only going up to 84 today.
Scootr, I have friends near you just moved one town over from Temecula, right on the border.

This looks pretty good...
Reckon it's time to get my butt in gear...backyard is still too wet to mow, and I'll be checking the rest of lawn (especially where the chipper is) before I actually start work

Will be interesting to see who shows up for Queen's funeral.

Trudeau will show up, merely for the photo op ... he should have someone else go for him, to send Canada's respects

Scaredy, I've never been a Chevy guy, but always liked that Nova.

I've always been a Chevy and Honda guy, but forever have wanted a 2 dr 1965 Ford Fairlane :)

Tomatoes again on the menu. Love tomatoes but.... mixing with smoked salmon and ham makes it better. Wonder what she will try next to continue the tomato dishes?

Good morning! Low of 55°, going for a high of 82°, good chances of scattered t-storms. One came across last night around 22:00, good flashes and rumbles, but not really any rain. Nothing in the gauge this morning and the walkways were dry...... at least it's maybe a start?

Wng, beautiful pics! Looks like you had a good hike. Hope the insurance finally gets straightened out.

BEF, sorry the bid was rejected.... that's what you were hoping for...right? Sorry for my confusion......

Thomas, did the critters go by like in a parade? Just sounded funny....

Scootr, glad you got some rain and it held the fire at bay.... hopefully rain will continue without any flooding.

M7040, nice pics of your place. Beautiful historic buildings / barn.

So far so good this morning in regards to the abdominal pain.... it was by no means as bad yesterday than the first episode. Subsided by the evening, no issues last night....actually slept pretty well.

Today's agenda includes taking the transfer case apart and starting the rebuild process. Hopefully it will simple and no further parts needed than the bearings / seals. Need to clear a bench for good work surface. I have been placing all the tools that have been used for disassembly on the bench in preparation for reassembly..... I guess that isn't going to work like I was planning.....

The nice thing about this job, I'll be able to sit whilst doing it.

Everyone have a great day!

miss Toppop when I think of cars....Scaredy you have big shoes to fill on the car show beat. Keep up the good work.
Pretty sure we all love pics of old cars.

I'll do what i can, but it's impossible to fill those shoes ... or even try.

Good Morning
It was 58 when I got up, going to low 80’s. Another clear sky day.

Yesterday went by quickly, stayed busy mostly doing chores for the wife.

Today started with the landscapers that she hired to trim shrubs and clean up all the beds. I’m thinking they will be here at least all day. Depending on how hard they work, might send them out on fence lines with a string trimmer.
Wife was clever enough to hire them and leave me here while she went to Farmers market.

My Tempest weather station was not holding a charge very well after several overcast days, I asked them if that was normal and they said no, UPS says a replacement is arriving today.
Can’t beat that for support.

Good Morning!!!! 78F @ 8:00AM. Partly cloudy. High around 95F. Winds S at 10 to 20 mph.

That's some rare good news on the Fairview Fire, Scotty. Hope you're soon back in your home, if you're not there already.

Up here the Mosquito Fire blew up overnight and is now over 30,000 acres. It threatens the towns of Forresthill and Volcanoville, and there are Mandatory Evacuation Orders issued for hundreds of people. Smoke from it kept me inside most of the day and it looks like more of the same today. Solar power production was down about 25% due to the smoke as well.

Thursday I spoke with someone at the rebuilders that are supposed to be fixing an engine computer for the van, but only ended up leaving voicemail for a manager. No return call, but yesterday I did get an email with a tracking number, so it looks like it's on its way back here. They've had it a month...

Reviewed some security cam video and learned that a skunk has been hanging around up at the front gate, and someone has been driving down the old boat launch road in the wee hours of the morning. Don't know what they're up to down there in the pitch dark, but they're not staying long.

This morning there's video of the skunk passing by the pump house, so it looks like it's game on for trapping and killing it.

Will hopefully get some garage time in this morning and get the red G/S back on its wheels and off the lift.

Hope everyone has a good weekend...
