I hope you guys all enjoyed the summer that wasn't here in So Cal. Autumn is upon us, and I am loving it. My favorite time of the year.

Have a good and prosperous day.

Ron, that gymnast video was amazing!

I think there's a good sized wildfire near Beaver that's affecting I-15 and I-70. Careful out there.

Just got into Beaver (keep the jokes to yourself, please). Saw the signs, but not the smoke...must be a bit North of here.

I'm sure it'll still be there in the morning.

If one of them is bad, chances are the others aren't too far behind.

You could probably do the ones on the sides of the block yourself...it's really not that difficult.

.... as long as you know what you're doing and don't hit them so hard you crack the block casting!

They actually make a set of specialized drivers for them, but a well-stocked set of half-inch sockets and extensions usually works, too.
