Lake Clemintine????

Hey D,

That is lake Clementine in Placer County. It was cool to see all of that water topping the spillways. Center 4 are common, the sides overflowing, not so much.

Cheers B

Yes it is!!

And going back again this Easter. One of the categories at the race meeting over the Easter weekend is for Porsche - so 55 P cars of various age and type get to have lots of laps. Search "Bathurst Motor Festival" on Youtube for lots of in car footage.

This is me in the same spot but the photographer further down the hill.

Step dad pic & rant.....

So, jr(the oldest) a very naturally gifted welder call up and tells me about a little "incident" he had yesterday while at the shop while working on his "own" project. After utilizing the Plasma cutter, he proceeds to knock off the still hot slag from the metal. Ironically, a piece pops straight up and lands on the back of his neck. Needless to say, it got his attention very quickly.

And of course, being 29 and immortal as we all were at that age, rubs some ointment on it and powers through without going to the Doc n the box Urgent Care or ER.

Because my work maintains my EMT rating, all sorts of bad goes through my head upon seeing this....... so what can parents do!?!? All y'all parents know what I'm sayin....

So I had to snap a pic

Long time ago. USS Valley Forge CG-50 during trials off of Barking Sands, Hawaii against target UAVs - 1986-ish. Taken from the LSO shack, same sequence from before:

Wow! Thanks for the info. The last shot kinda looks like the con trail left in the early morning missile test left in the sky a few weeks back here in CA(SoCal launch). Saw it in the sky in northern CA just before they pushed the big red button and detonated it, looked cool. However, the local radio station was reporting countless calls from the public claiming everything from UFO's to the end of times from a Chinese Nuc.

Seriously?!? It's amazing how the general public can be uneducated at times. But yet they can tell you every detail about the latest reality based TV show. Aerojet had an engine test many years ago that they advised the public for weeks on end, could have been a month or two, can't recall. Radio spots, TV spots on the news, newspaper articles and freeway signboards, they did everything possible to inform the community. When they torched it off , my rearview mirror was vibrating and I was miles away from the facility. It was cool to see the exhaust plume rise up into the atmosphere, 15-20K by the time it was done and continued to rise.

You would have thought the world was ending by the way some were running around like headless chickens.

Forgot the pic

Oddly enough, she now rests under the same waters I took those pictures:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Valley_Forge_(CG-50)

The ship was decommissioned on 31 August 2004 at San Diego Naval Station, the first ship with the Aegis combat system withdrawn from service. Valley Forge was sunk on 2 November 2006 as part of a target practice on a test range near Kauai, Hawaii

I took this photo when we were going through the Panama Canal. We were in Gatun Lake and the CO opened it up. All four turbo shaft engines to go:
