    Connie

    Guess I might as well mention this, because it might impact the amount of time and effort I can put into this site for a while. Connie was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She had surgery 04-28-2022 (I think, my brain really isn't working all that well lately). And she had her first chemo...

    SHTF coming to a neighborhood near you?

    Just started reading this thread -> https://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread1310605/pg1 But it sure sounds like trouble a brewing. Anyone have any direct experience to support or call BS on this stuff? I know Jeff is doing long haul trucking, so I would be curious to hear his take on this.

    Green anole strutting his stuff

    I noticed a green anole acting king of strange walking around in circles on top of a bamboo culm in Connie's pineapple garden. Decided to grab the camcorder from the house and hoped he would still be there when I got back. Evidently he was shedding his skin, and I guess from the dewlapping he...

    Honey bees

    Our citrus trees have been blooming like crazy this year, and the honey bees (as well as butterflies, bumble bees, etc.) have been working the flowers really hard. Of course, some might have been working harder than others, and some maybe TOO hard....

    Tool laser engraving

    So a while back I had purchased a set of precision angles to use with my milling machine and lathe and when I got them in I was happy to see that they actually were engraved with the angle. I had ordered three other sets a while back and none of them had the engraving on them. Or as one set...

    Rattlesnake, 03-28-2022

    Connie and I went to take our usual walk around the path today. I was looking up at the peach tree blossoms up ahead when a noise started up that at first I couldn't place. At first it sounded like a cicada, but yet... Connie yelped right about the same time I realized what I was hearing and...

    C5 Rear main crank shaft seal plate on C5 and C6

    Darn, wish I had known about this problem when I was having my drivetrain worked on. I would have replaced that plate then. 6CGmdWXMTvQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CGmdWXMTvQ

    Spring is springing, 2022

    We have a partially downed pine tree near the path between the old reptile building and the garage, and the fence lizards just seem to love this tree. They never paid a bit of attention to it before it fell over. But now we can see up to three of them at a time hanging around on it. This one...

    C5 Carfax value of my C5Z

    Just got an email notice from CarFax telling me that the current value of my 2002 Corvette Z06 is $9,240. With a clickable link to sell it. :lmao: Yeah, THAT is going to happen......

    Tufted Titmouse

    Not sure why this one was so reluctant to eat the sunflower seed it had grabbed out of the bird feeder. They normally go right to town on them and then fly back to the feeder for another. Over and over and over again. uQW72xC7ccY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQW72xC7ccY

    Citrus - 2021

    We didn't think we were going to do all that well with the citrus this year, but things actually turned out better than we thought they would. Connie's Meyer lemon trees didn't look like they did all that well looking at them from the front porch of the house, but when I walked in back of them...

    Downy woodpecker

    Not sure what this girl is doing, since this doesn't seem like the right time of year to be building a nest. IzzP_ETgbmc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzzP_ETgbmc

    C5 Driver's side seat mechanism repair

    Back when I had Cass Burch Chevrolet in Quitman, GA put my new clutch in the C5Z, the car was up there for quite a while, and the guy working on it was rather heavy set. Now, the driver seat did have a bit of play in it beforehand, but afterwards, well, now there is a LOT of play. So I am...

    Update for the lathe

    Probably no one is much interested in this sort of stuff here, but heck I made the video and might as well post it somewhere. :hehe: -pV4jpq0m6g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pV4jpq0m6g Besides, if I need to fabricate parts for the C5Z, this sort of stuff will come in pretty handy.

    Cooling down a bit

    Temps got down to 50.0 degrees overnight last night. So I guess Fall is here and Winter will soon follow. Such that it is for north Florida, anyway.

    Is that you, Hal???

    I was doing the semi-nightly chore of downloading the backups of the MySQL databases for my sites when I happened to glance at the command line section of the display showing the FTP protocol messages sent to and from my server. WTH??? Big Brother, is that you?? Hal?? How many fingers am I...

    Overdue oil change

    So I took out the vette the other day and happened to think I should check to see when I need to change the oil and filter on it. Seems like it has been a while, but heck, with this COVID crap, I feel like everything has been in stasis for a good year and a half now. So let's see, looks like I...
