It is in real time. The boldness of the lines indicate severity but not to what level. Still neat to see the directional movement, for me at least. You know the old saying, "wind from the east, fish bite least".
That's interesting Ronnie. I would think solar panels in the desert would generate more energy than windmills. Must be pretty durn windy there.
No big deal. That's just Jack Beckman hanging around to listen to a Buick engine. I can't wait to see your car in person.
Yes I was there, good eye. but now I'm near the underground military bases. Trippy desert I tell you. My job takes me behind some hush hush places. The other day I went somewhere that peaked my interest I looked it up on YouTube and some made a video where he was near the security shack shared sh""tless.
These are old and solar has been booming here. Millions of dollars and big union jobs all over. I just dropped off 5 restrooms to another solar project that's starting.
Around here you hear the jets but you cant see them. Today I'm going to work on my Packard. Last night I was moving around in the shop getting it all situated. I popped off the starter and will get to the bolts on the flywheel. If anyone is interested I'll post some pictures
Solar and windmill farms. What a blight on the landscape. To get the power the Greenies want they will need to cover 80 percent of the earths surface.
Oh, I don't know John, after spending 30 years in Buffalo NY and Alton IA then 36 years in Florida I would say I like up north better. In Florida you get two weeks of fall, two weeks of winter and two weeks of spring scattered through the months of October to March then it's just hot and humid. I miss the seasons. Secondly I would like one day where you can work or play outside without some insect chewing on you because in Florida it is 24/7/365. Yea, you have hoards of mosquitoes and black flies in the far north that are like smoke descending on you but with proper clothing and a cigar hanging out of your mouth it is manageable. Plus they are seasonal not constant every second you are outside like here. Gotta have AC in the garage so you can work on something without being blinded by sweat, having blood drawn by some flying insect and eaten alive by fire ants. If I had a do-over I would stay up north. Mikey
There's a lot to be said for the Northeast, but the main reason that I'm in SW Florida is that our Massachusetts real estate taxes were our biggest single bill. That was fine when we were both working, but you do take a pay cut when you retire. $1,000 per month isn't horrible on two professional salaries, but on two pensions it was nuts. Our taxes here are about 1/3 of Massachusetts. We are living just as well now in Florida as we did in Massachusetts. In Massachusetts our property backed up to conservation land that had the Charles river running through it. In summah the Mosquitoes would eat you alive. I'm not going to say that the damn bloodsuckers aren't bad here, but I honestly don't think that they are any worse then in Massachusetts. During the wintah season there is virtually no rain, so there are virtually no Mosquitoes. The only awful environmental happening here is the lovebugs. They don't bite, but they are so thick for about two or three weeks that you almost need a dust mask if you are working outside.
Working in the shade Going swimming at 3pm. Come back and work on the Buickmobile till the moon till midnight.
This car was on it's way to being parted out. Hood, air filter and intake were gone. Front clip and bumper was almost completely unbolted. It did come with a stock running Buick 350, that is now installed. This test was done shortly after I hooked up most of the stuff under the hood. I'll finish tuning, and fixing a few things, then we'll test on it some more.
It hooks up really good. Glad to see your out their getting it. the day I get to burnout in my projects will feel nice. Congratulations and that red on the 72 fits it. Looks like the 350 is quick and can spank some big blocks
The End is near. I love fall. Color The smell. And Bear season and Archery season coming. Just Drives me crazy. Then Christmas passes. And Winter sucks.
