Well this weekend went by way to fast, cant believe I have to go back work tomorrow. Got the gravel delivered yesterday for the driveway and spread. Today I started the tear down of my car. Got the front cover removed but by the time I got it all disassembled I was too exhausted to try and finish, so postpone the water pump and re-assembly until my next days off.

Finished the night with tri--tip and bon fire.

Wow, looks like you did more work on your days off than you did during the week at work. Have to go back to work so you can rest eh? LOL

I deal with people all day at work...the physical release of manual labor on my days off is like therapy. My job required allot of restraint and patients..have to get the energy out somehow.

Have a great Sunday everyone. Hiding here in the house today trying to keep my breathing under control. We are in an Air Quality danger due to the wildfires and Northbound traffic is ridiculous.

Staying indoors as much as possible due to the heat, but bad air is also a good reason.

Oh by the way , this is a Zip line I got talked into taking , not sure of the highest point but very high and very long , as you get to about little bit past mid point your about 6' off the water doing close to 45 mph , us heavier people probably 55 mph , what a ride .

We were in fog this morning. Interesting, as the sun was "filtered" through the fog, and it was possible to look glancingly at the sun through the fog. About 75% totality in our area.

What an epic trip! Did you bring kids or just your s/o? I always thought with kids is a trip, without its vacation.

Happy Humpeth Day Nor Cal!

Well, my car is beginning to make me mad. About the time I put $1,330 worth of repairs on her the cruise control stopped working, and now yesterday after driving around doing errands and staying away from the apartment for four hours (another spraying) the AC decides to stop working. It worked fine all day until the very last errand, and it would only blow warm air. And since my driver's side window does not roll down or up, I am stuck with one window ventilation. I will take it in after next payday and get an estimate, but am currently not in a position do get it fixed if it is too expensive.
