We are up to 78 already. Loving the warm weather.

I was awakened buy the normal sound of my wife's iPad alarm chime. I bounced out of bed as usual and expecting my wife to shut off the alarm, and she was not there. So I turned off the alarm figuring aliens had abducted her. She was not in the house at all. So I took a shower and the usual things and got dressed. I started a pot of coffee, ate my breakfast, and was working on the second cup of coffee when she appeared in my office. Of course she had really been in the yard planting and tending to the many gardens.

I was summoned to helper duty. We have a fountain in the main front garden.

You can see it in the background from a photo from last fall when the monarch butterfly caterpillars are munching on the milkweed that was planted for them to eat.

We winterize the fountain by lifting the statue off the base, and storing it under a plastic trash bag, and then clean out the base where the water is. Then it is covered with Visqueen held in place with bungee cords. Today, I ""got" to lift the thousand pound (slight exaggeration) statue back up to the base, and hook up the pump.

Then she pointed at some large decorative natural stones she had bought last month and hauled home in the El Camino, that needed to be hauled to the front-east garden, to surround a new plant. She has learned it helps to put large stones around it to prevent the roots from freezing in the winter. Then placed in a particular order to look right. So I got to move them a few times.

Then I was released from duty as Mongo, the garden slave.

you are lucky she let you sleep in..............

Yep. I still am not sure why she sets an alarm. I don't have to go off to work, and I have no real work that I can't get done with my schedule. I get my personal and company finances updated every day on the programs I use.

We don't have a project going right now, so the boss gives me the day off to help his wife in the garden.

Time to mow the grass again. Oh Boy!

Morning all. Supposed to be nice for a few days.

Had marble sized hail yesterday. Sunny and nice today.

Phew. Pretty much ideal mowing weather. It was 69 when I started, and 75 when done. A nice gentle breeze. It takes me 45 minutes to edge and string trim. Then 45 minutes of mowing. And 15 minutes of blowing the sidewalks and driveway clear of debris. and 15 minutes to enjoy the bosses Yuengling beer. Burp. Now time for a shower.

You are being paged about a camera in the forum.

I had a great Porsche club morning. It started at the dealership and they were having a Mother's Day promotion and the ladies could get a custom rose bouquet for free. Just pick the rose colors and other flowers. Free coffee and donuts as always a perfect weather. Lots of friends and new folks.

The the club lunch at a nice restaurant and good conversation. I looked at my gas gauge on the 30 minute drive home, and saw it was on the bottom line, so time for gas. I dropped my wife off at the house, and went and filled up with premium. Only $70 for a full tank. Ouch. That will get me another 400 miles. 21 gallon tanks are expensive to fill up.

We received a nice gentle 1/2 inch of rain last night. With all the rain recently, and it being spring, things are really GREEN!. The trees down the road I use regularly is almost jungle like.

Morning all. Fun day yesterday. Spent most of the afternoon inside waiting for the local cops to catch someone. The guy had no chance between the K9 unit and all the ring cameras up here.

Back at my old bachelor pad house at 2:00 AM or so my bedroom was suddenly daylight. It was like a scene from the movies with the aliens about to beam me up. The police helicopter with the gazillion watt spotlight was shining on my house. I woke up to see cop cars outside. The bad guy was running on foot after crashing into a large tree at the park 1/2 a mile away. I just doubled checked all my doors were locked, and went back to bed.

The next day I found out they caught him in the back yard of a house a few doors down.

I think I need to quit getting the 911 worked on. Got new tires this am and no now the oil gage is having a fit. Up, down, normal wash rinse and repeat.

and of course I can't find a post about my issue of it moving like a 2 year old on a sugar high. Only ones where its stuck.

I suspect it is a bad ground. Either on the sender, or the gauge.

Morning. That is what I think to after finally finding a post with a similar issue. Lets hope it at the sender so its sort of easy to get at.

Yea, the sender iis not a horrible job. Just messy usually. Get a new gasket before removing the sender.

I pretty much ignore my oil gauge until I am about to park, and it sits for 30 seconds idling. It is a rough estimate of the real level. I always use the dip stick to know for sure. And a quart low is nothing to worry about.

I will try that later this week. Yeah at least it the most worthless gage in the dash.............for now.

The fist thing I ever did to my 911 was convert the temp gauge to numbers. The volt meter was years later, and I love it. I know the voltage, and no more stupid shift light the Feds required in that era.

It is hard to believe that photo was 17,000 miles ago.
