Happy Father's day to all the dads here!

There is a great group of dads here. And many who are really special, having helped raise kids who are not their own.

Trying to get ready for church. Gonna try to go to 2 services this morning. Both pastors are friends.

Glad to see you back 2Bit.

Prayers for the fathers, the families, our nation, Ukraine and Israel.

Went to the local racetrack last night. Had a good time. Last cool night for a while.

Friend was racing and didn't go well for him. On his qualifying run, he came out of turn 3 and lost oil pressure, before he could shut it down he put a couple holes in his oil pan. Expensive lap for him.

Gonna be a hot week. Mid 90's and heat index pushing triple digits. August weather in june

lots of fun at local high school cars and coffee. This is school I went to, don't recognize it now, about four times the size.
wonderful collection of cars from a Rolls Royce to a Citroen DS to many, many Corvettes. Lots of muscle cars, and wonderful
weather for this. Yes the red truck is my nephew's son's truck.

First thought is Camero SS or a vette. And that's about as deep into it as I go. LOL.

I only ride 'em, don't know what makes 'em work. - Famous quote from a good WWII set movie....

Morning all, 69 going up 83 and sunny.
Happy fathers day!
Spent about 4 hours yesterday removing silt from trench.
First had to remove the grass, and found many more rocks (no surprise there).

Dad still can't use his arms, and can't walk, so progress is slow.

Out to dinner tonight. Might try to get propane, diesel and gas cans filled. See if I need to take out a loan to do so....

Be well and enjoy the day.


Between all the grass and dirt, about 40 buckets worth taken out.
Lot of silt from up hill.

Headed to 83F but with a Red Flag Warning for wind and wildfire danger.

Still thinking of the Shasta Dam engineering and historic marvel I recently visited. It was built pre-and-during WWII, a huge engineering achievement and impressive large project.

A plaque affixed to the dam says a lot using only a few words: "Built by and for the people of the United States."

The video below is quite good ...

You might enjoy watching the taming of the Black Canyon that turned into the Hoover dam. My old company Bechtel changed from being a local San Fransisco construction company into a major engineering construction company

Happy Fathers Day

Good morning! Low of 56°, heading to a high of 93°. Sunny and light breezes. Hopefully the last day of 90+ for a few days. Another chance of rain next Thursday....

Didn't get anything done yesterday that I planned... got hit with a GI issue that lasted most of the day. Might try again today.
It's irrigation day, so will be managing that for sure.

Fritz, those videos are impressive. Always amazed at how much labor was involved back then. Hard labor to boot!

Yea! Puppy pic!

Drew, the car show is nice. Lots of big bucks there for sure!

Ken, nice job on the drainage cleaning. Do you replant grass? Wonder if making a dry river bed with rock would last longer? Would be a pain to clean out if it filled up with silt though....

Dennis, was that your dad's property? Or the one in VA?

Kyle, you have been busy. Do you have a summer class too?

Everyone have a great day!
