    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.

    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.

    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.

    Green tree frog - jumbo sized

    So the other day I was down at the shooting gazebo taking photos. I'm planning on screening it in so I can do some shooting without having mosquitoes and yellow flies biting the hell out of me, and I wanted some pics that I could look at to see how I will need to mount the screen brackets. I'm...

    Muzzle brakes for .50 BMG

    I was rummaging around in one of the cabinets I have some ammo and crap stored in, and stumbled on some muzzle brakes I bought years ago for a couple of the Barrett 50 BMG rifles I have. Anyway, I was looking around on YouTube and stumbled on a video showing the difference between firing one of...

    Black water snake

    Yesterday Connie came into the house all excited about a snake she saw out by one of the buildings. She wasn't sure what kind it was, so she wanted me to hurry on up and get out there to see it before it vanished. When I got out there, it wasn't where she had last seen it, but had moved about 6...

    Why I hate squirrels

    So yeah, this is why I hate squirrels. This is my largest bamboo, by far, and they seem to have quite a taste for the new shoots when they come up. Matter of fact, they will actually climb up a nearby pine tree and then leap over to a 20+ foot tall shoot to chew out the top, killing it. So they...
