I couldn't even get out of the hood.

Traffic for me was tough for me today. Walking down the hall in my bare feet headed to my office, there was a huge wolf spider in the hall. I had to skirt around him and go get a shoe to flatten him, then flush him and the goo on the floor. It was a delay of at least 60 seconds. I guess it is time to call the exterminator to come spray the attic. It is weird, but the spiders will vanish for almost a year if we have the attic fogged by a pro.

It's not Monday, thank the powers that be.
But we are over the hump, Yaay

So, just keep thinking, Tomorrow's Friday, Tomorrow's Friday.

Huh?

I’m finished removing the old sound deadening material from the Z. I also replaced the failed electric fuel pump. It runs once again.

. Today, I’m going to work on getting rid of the surface rust that was around the driver/passenger foot wells and under the seats. Oh joy.

What year is your Z again?

Jim Richards · 05-24-2018, 10:10 AM

Brent, it’s a ‘75 280Z.

I suggest you get it off the ceiling before it falls.

Jim Richards · 05-24-2018, 10:27 AM

I just have to work fast!

Taking pics with the correct orientation with my iPad is a PITA.

I bet the stuff just falls right out though!

Looks in great shape for an Australian car. Aren't those hard to get in the USA?

25 year import rule applies I think.

Think I have a full size mattress in my house that is over 25 years old. Can I take the tag off of it?

RKDinOKC · RKDinOKC's Garage

Oh Joy. We are getting hammered by the hackers spoofing email addresses in our organization. Evidently that rule I made was stopping something. Understand the Guru at Proof Point itself is trying to figure it out.

It's kinda funny to me. They turn off my rule and within 15 minutes we start getting spoofed emails with attachment containg malicious content. Turn it back on and they stop immediately.

Pure coincidence there RKD. The hackers just had lunch or break when you turned that rule on. Nothing more.

RKDinOKC · RKDinOKC's Garage

I don't believe in coincidence. We didn't have any malware hack problems until they started negotiating pricing with proofpoint. Then we suddenly started getting hacked more and more until "we just had to do something."

How's that for a paranoid conspiracy theory?

a wet morning. Too early to tell if is going to be good despite the wetness.

Hey it is Friday.

Yea we had a flight scheduled for this morning. Ain't gonna happen. I don't know if it is a FAA rul or just a suggestion, but in general small aircraft are supposed to stay 20 miles from any thunderstorm. I don't wanna be in a thunderstorm in a car much less a Cessna.

We’re finally starting to dry out here.

GH85Carrera · GH85Carrera's Garage

California need the rain as much as we do. Back east they are hogging all the extra rain. Way more than they want.

Porsche-poor · 05-25-2018, 06:59 AM

cloudy but dry here. Supposed to be a good weekend. Great in the fact its three days long!!!

Glen, I don't think it is an FAA rule, just one of those similar to not holding large conductive poles in the air during a lightning storm, or parasailing in a tornado.

I remember one of the "I Learned About Flying From That" stories in Flying magazine where the guy was diving at VNE just to minimize his climb rate when he got into a storm near the mountains.

There must be something wrong in the world when Sea-Tac is dry and the rest of the US is wet.
