    The new news comfort zone?

    Heck, just seems odd to me that the news coming from outside of the USA about the USA just seems to be a whole lot less "fake news" than actual USA sources. :shrug01: ZZdjMDhUVZY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZdjMDhUVZY Of course, you do have to wonder how long it will be before such...

    The tree lizard

    Yeah, I know, just a fence lizard. But this guy has been hanging out on a particular tree along our driveway for quite a long time, and Connie and I have been talking to him whenever we pass him by. He doesn't move, and doesn't act in the least bit nervous at our nearby presence. But he does...

    Likely one of the better "car idiot" videos out there.

    Sold!! Corvette C5 Z06 chromed wheels - $400

    Front wheels = 17x9.5 54mm offset Rear wheels = 18x10.5 58mm offset These have been sitting in my garage for a number of years, and I might as well move them along to someone else who may want them. I bought them new back in 2005 or so when I bought the C5 Z06 used and removed the standard C5...

    Attacking gopher tortoise!!! (not really)

    Well, it sure seemed that way the other day when Connie and I came home to find one in the driveway. When I got out of the truck to take pictures and video, he (she?) just started marching in my direction like he meant business. wr7yQYS777o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wr7yQYS777o But...

    Keep an eye out for weather developing below Cuba

    Looks like a tropical development beneath Cuba could put a tropical storm into the Gulf of Mexico early next week. Forecast is all over the map, but bears watching for folks along the West and NW coast of Florida.

    C5 Took the vette for a ride, finally

    Finally got around to taking the C5Z out for a little drive yesterday. It was sometime in May that I last took it for a drive, so it has been a while. I had forgotten what a pleasure it is to drive now that it is running right. Not a hint of any problems, no strange drivetrain noises, and the...

    Another hurricane in the long term models

    By Friday (10-23) or Saturday (10-24) ventusky.com models are showing a hurricane developing below Cuba. Of course, a long time out, and subject to change without notice.

    Cooler weather

    Getting some cool nights lately, with lows around 55 and 56 degrees. Sure feels like Fall is setting in.

    Skink enjoying the sunshine

    We had a break in the rains the other day, and saw a skink taking full advantage of it at the base of one of the palm trees in front of the house. Skinks are usually pretty skitterish, but this one seemed unconcerned about Connie and I walking past and not about to give up it's sunbathing on...

    Tropical depression #19 - 2020 (Hurricane Sally)

    So now, out of the blue, a tropical depression (#19) pops up right at the Florida Keys, apparently destined to develop into a hurricane and eventually hit Louisiana. Again. Subject to change without notice, of course. But I guess this IS the peak of hurricane season, isn't it?

    Tropical Storm Laura - 2020

    SW Florida up the west coast and over to the panhandle should be keeping an eye on this one. The track has been inching further west each time I look at the forecast track, but this is still way far enough out that anything can happen...

    Maybe nothing...

    But Ventusky (https://www.ventusky.com/?p=27.7;-84.9;5&l=rain-3h&t=20200825/0900) is showing what looks like a tropical event hitting the Atlantic coast of Florida on Tuesday 08-25-2020). So keep an eye on developments. By Thursday, could be a full blown hurricane just east of Jacksonville.

    Updated hurricare forecast for 2020

    Quite a lot of engine history...

    I know this seems odd that this video is actually about a Jeep product, but the guy talks quite a bit about Corvette engines and the history of them going back to the small block Chevy days. Well worth watching if you have an interest in such things. Of course, putting such engines like the...

    Everything you ever wanted to know about buckshot

    Just something about shotguns I find fascinating, I guess. Some good basic info in these two videos, if such things interest you. 3haq5BFh7qs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3haq5BFh7qs Jf4i8gRTsJs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jf4i8gRTsJs

    Tropical storm - June 2, 2020

    Looks like a tropical storm developing in the southwest Gulf of Mexico. Doesn't look like it is destined for the center to come into Florida, but likely we will get some substantial rain out of it.
