Winning as the last rays of sunlight disappear over the horizon.

And the overcast yet continues, with added drizzle.

Is this some continued belch of pollution or have we been enveloped so long now by some Arctic anomaly?!

Our grey sky is somewhat porous - not enough to be rain but too much to be dry :-(

G'day Carlos, and everyone else.

Or should that be G'night or G'morning as another Friday night has turned into Saturday morning here?

Oh well at least the moon should be up in a bit under 4hrs with sunrise occurring about 2hrs later so I better get my sorry backside into bed.

Cheers.

Moo! Moo! Moo!

The price went up on my chosen sofa replacement, so much so that payments that were at $114.31 that I could afford are now at $162.00 a month for 5 months...

Yes us crickets chirping away.

Winning on what is so far a sunny Saturday morning, but how long that will last is another question.

Enjoying some good thoughtful music and I'm nicely reminded:


Unknowing ignorance may well be bliss for some, but oh how so much passes them by that they do not even know that they miss, all lost in that unknowing...

Keep searchin'!

After 40 odd years of work my old spade has now been retired due to metal fatigue setting in so I just went next door and bought a new 1 and hopefully I'll get some more of those yard edges dug out today before the weather turns bad again.

Cheers.

Not really as a spade that'll only be 2" deep if it lets go won't work at all, but as it is it's still ok as it is for scooping up stuff so it'll be hanging around here for a while longer yet (it has only been retired from digging chores).

After grinding a sharp edge on the new spade I've filled my wheelbarrow (it's a builders wheelbarrow too and not 1 of them little dinky garden jobs) again with another load of dug out edges (and as the clouds finally start to move in) I'm taking a short beer break while I cool down a bit before doing more. I'm now about halfway through all the backyard edges.

Cheers.

Winning on a Saturday night while recovering from today's 2 wheelbarrow loads of dug out edges.

I only have the western and northern edges of my backyard still to dug out as yet, that's about 60m left to do that will have to wait until this rain has finished.

Cheers.

And time flies far far too fast!

And it's time for... Servicing and plumbing! Possibly also some operator debug...

At least the drizzle has drifted away, yay!

Sun is up on the west coast of the US. Light breeze and firefighters seem to be getting the major fires under control. Might be a good day to sail. After cutting the grass. Something I have put off due to unhealthy outdoor air.
Happy Saturday!

Servicing, ugh my car needs a smog check and some work done on the spark plugs and the injectors and on an oil leak which includes the power steering, if one can smell it, it's technically an emission.

Then I can get my car's registration tags, of course I have to pay the registration on or before 09/08/2021, this I can do.

I may need to buy some injector cleaner though that way takes time and some oil gaskets if they are available still.

I have an oil pan gasket and a valve cover gasket, fel pro stopped making new parts for my car, but if another is needed I don't have that.

I'd thought one thing cause of my cars age and evidently that isn't true, sigh. I need to call a local friend who works on cars.

Is that low positive pressure, or low negative (below atmospheric) pressure?
