When I was growing up, and where my parents still live, we were on a corner lot. Everynow and then there would be tire marks going across or through our front/side yard. My dad put some large cool looking rocks, probably 2ft or so tall and spaced them about 6 ft apart across the front and side yard. Also in the corner where the front and side yard met he put a 5 foot tall rock. Of course he had people bring them in with heavy machinery. all the time we would find car parts, like grills and headlamps pieces around the rocks. To this day he finds stuff out there from the night before. A couple of times a wrecked car on the big boulder.

The only downside is that he needs to use the trimmer around them.
I need pictures!

I just noticed on my can of Guinness Salt and Lime Ale that they put a line of plastic on the rim where you drink to minimize the aluminum taste and reduce dribble. Pretty cool.

Had a garage door torsion spring pop a few days ago. Me and the dog heard it go. Wife was oblivious to it lol.
Got some here in a few days. These are temporary but it works, i have larger heavier duty springs coming later this month. But it was easy to do just patience and some time.

Did some work on the boat today. Changed all the spark plugs, discovered that the dealer replaced ones weren't gapped correctly....they were over 1mm when spec is .8-.9. Guess that is what you get when you don't do the work yourself!20220731_171020.jpg

Replaced both batteries as they weren't holding a charge. Hard to see but this one was all bulged out:

The electrode wears away during use creating a larger gap.

Beautiful sunset over the Chesapeake Saturday night on my neighbor's boat; and my daughter driving our boat for the first time, and loving it.

I guess that is possible, but I change mine pretty frequently and you can visually see that the electrode hasn't lost mass. It was just gapped too large by quite a bit. This MAY explain my poor gas mileage and lower top speed since I had the dealer do the maintenance once (when I was super busy-won't do that again) - but more likley that I just need to look at my intake tunnel sealing and clean my boat!

Air Force F35C and C17 from the EAA Air Venture show on Sunday in Oshkosh - great viewing angles from the west side of Lake Winnebago. There was also an EA-18G Growler but I didn't get a shot of it.
