Good morning. Went out and got a nice haul of fresh eggs. Wife made me 3 eggs over easy with yogurt and fresh rasberries. On the side was v8 and coffee.

Today's a busy one. Gotta do final anchors into the house, take my wife to the grocery store, take my mother to pick up 10 arbor vitae, install 10 arbor vitae. Then hopefully get the solar racking up and maybe toss some panels on.

Popgadget, You had mentioned selling the turbine plane, wondering why? Much cheaper to fly for most shorter trips, right?

That would normally be accurate, but the two turboprops that we have are Cheyenne 400’s. They are a bit of an anomaly in that they are fast and fly as high as 41,000 feet. From Philadelphia to south Florida they are only about 15 minutes behind the jet. But they are not as smooth or quiet, and especially on short trips are more expensive to operate. The runway and climb performance is stunning to say the least. There were only 44 of them made, there is about 20 registered in the US, and they have a bit of a cult following. But the modern, efficient jets make them less desirable from an operational standpoint if you don’t need the runway performance, and can get past the acquisition cost.

Good Morning,
Ct, 53 going to 74 !

Sorry, I’m with the FD today so really didn’t read all the posts ! Sorry !

Picture of todays operation ! Hopefully we have some good sale numbers!

Lou I wonder if that would make a good “woods” machine? Set of forks with a grapple for logs, and maybe a Brown Tree cutter? Can’t tell if it has a PTO?

It's only got the rear pto nothing on the front, so no front set snowblower or brush hog or mower.

So the PTO is on the loader side? Would be a great machine if on other end!

good morning all
53 in Greenbrae CA going up to 80 today
but I'll be off later this morning for Santa Cruz, where my campground tonight is the Santa Cruz Marina which has some rv sites attached. So I get to look at boats later today even if they are likely only small sailboats.

at about 4pm my old friend's brother brings over his 98 year old mom who lives in Santa Cruz and who I haven't seen in 40 years. This will be a fun reunion.
Then we will go out to dinner someplace nearby.

I need to pick this rv up more, and no room to hide stuff.
ahhh, but there's room in the shower stall for more, hide boxes of tools in there.
so after sitting here for six days I have to clean it all up.
can't leave before 10am today (6am now) so plenty of time this sunday morning to shower and dump the tanks and then toodle off.

there is a seven foot width restriction for Golden Gate Bridge so need to take Richmond Bridge and 580, which is very close to this campground. so I head South through the eastern side of San Francisco on 880, getting gas in Milpitas on the way South.

temps are going to warm up again. Hope you folks in Texas calm that heat down before I get there.

Yes, I helped get the loader off one of those one time. It wasn't bad but not super easy either.

Marin RV Park to Santa Cruz Harbor RV Park

www.google.com

I find modern sat info invaluable, nice being able to visualize what I'm looking for

I now have much less faith in my specialized Garmin rv nav. First it took me down that WV dirt road that broke my entry step, and today it wants to send me over golden gate bridge. I'm 8.5 wide and that's a no go. I think if I still had my Mercedes Sprinter rv that would be ok. I wonder how many of the rentals in this campground go over the wrong bridge.

66 high in low 80s rain missed us yesterday more upcoming this week.

Happy belated birthday to Mrs Kyle

Grass still on tap to mow deep dark green leaves showing a little color but lots of browns. Acorn crop weak deer will not be happy.

Safe travels Drew haven’t been to California since I was 10 or so.

Prayers for all silent or spoken our Country

Makes sense. Thanks for the info.

We are getting ready for church. Daughter with autism woke up in bad mood at 4 am. Wifey did not go back to sleep.

Ron, glad to hear of son's visit.

RNG, glad you didn't have a wreck. Sounds like 2 close calls. Brakes are important. I guess all the aviation activity gets old. Maybe it might be like living near a rail road track, where locals don't hardly notice the trains after a while.

Hope all have a blessed day. Prayers for our team.
