showering with the wife. always a good time.

Welp, I decided to take the Mrs to lunch. That went fine. Stopped at the local grocery store to get bananas and grapes. Went to start the Elky and the starter is dead. Insert profanity string. The good news is we are sitting in an air conditioned restaurant. The towing company will be here in 45 minutes.

I called a buddy and he can come install a new starter for me. Ain't no way I can do that yet. At least I will be back driving tomorrow.

I talked to Radu today at the Mulholland Highway lookout above the Rock Store. He's a nice guy and that 993 is way cooler than I thought.

The Elky is in my garage. I have the replacement starter in hand. A buddy is on the way to R&R the starter. It is 102 degrees outside. The garage AC is struggling to get it to 85 in there. That is still much better than 102. With the fans running it is not too bad.

Here ya go Dave, the Southern Cross (on a full moon) from Porcupine Gorge National Park, Saturday night.



Last night, I had another go as the moon was a little later rising. Hmm couldn't manage to get a good photo for some reason....perhaps too much port again...
Jeff that's a lovely photo, sigh can't see anything much here because of the humidity haze, not really true, but its too bloody hot to go outside and have a look, although the moon has looked pretty sexy the last few evenings when it has just been coming up.

been finishing up reading the sons US Government assignment, bloody hell, you guys really do know how to write a Constitution, have had to read the Summer of 1787, better things to do with my time, but had to help the midget! The school didn't seem to think that not being in the USA , not being enrolled at the school, not having decided to take the AP Government class and not having a copy of the book, were not an excuses acceptable to not having to pass in the Summer Holiday Assignment, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

All done now, and damn if it doesn't look too bad, really since we have come from a Westminster System of government and this whole Democracy/ Electoral College jargon is new to us!!!! We don't have a presidency to worry about.

Anyway time for bed, still looking for a nice 80s Porsche if anyone knows a nice one, no Targa's or Convertibles, just not practical in Maryland. Night all
