Good morning!!!!

Glad to hear Ex is OK.
I’m afraid that here the news will get more somber the next few days. Only 3% of the area has been surveyed so expectation is significant rise in death toll.

Yes, I'm praying too. It doesn't look good. They believe many are lost at sea. My wife found a Maui home owner's video that showed arcs and sparks when wind drove the trees into the power lines. Much like the Bastrop fire, if that is found to be the cause.

RNG, I hope you have a good road to egress away from a wildfire. One that preferably goes into the prevailing winds.

I really need a shed and another ZT to keep at the lot.

What ever you do, keep it insured against theft. Didn't you have a spare Kubota you could use for mowing?

I got to ride in a Pantera back in the day. They had cooling issues. The guy I knew had spent a lot of time improving the cooling with better radiators, circulation pumps with bypass too. Didn't ride in it but for maybe 30 minutes. Did not pick up any girls. No room for them if we did anyway....or maybe I would have gotten kicked to the curb if 1 wanted to ride. LOL.

One of my favorite things to tell my kids when we see a hot classic car....."I rode in one of those back in the day"....and smile.

I thought this would be easy, would have been with another set of hands, but after more than an hour out in the heat I got it done.
it's pretty heavy duty and very weatherproof.
I'll give it a shot of 303 tomorrow.
Came in and saw my beet red face in mirror. I was determined to get it done....
now a hot/cold shower and rest

matching green umbrella comes in Tuesday, goes through hole in center
a bit of a state park look but so be it.
Actually the real state park ones cost 1200 bucks and are likely not folding.

I need to build a wood base to mount the weather station.
Really don't want to drill this table but most clamps aren't weatherproof

Got some mowing done

 

[Buppies]

Looking good m7040

Got all 5 acres of grass mowed looks very nice considering how dry it is (she did that is)

 

[Buppies]

Seems the mower uses a quarter tank per mowing

Bad gas. Doesn't take long, as little as a few weeks, depending on the quality of the gas and the conditions at which it was stored.

Gas purchased week before last, used two tankfuls in pressure washer the day before with no issues, Honda vertical shaft engine but otherwise identical.

I'd call that setting a good example.
So is Oprah in Hawaii.
Both can clearly afford it. Thankfully.

I'm off to try and get in as much trouble as I can at TSC

Bezos and Oprah seem to be wanting to purchase property at fire sale prices…. I would not put those characters above indulging in a little self-interest…
