It’s sort of ironic that just last night I had posted how wonderful the view is. Tonight I’m listening to reports on the scanner about a fire that has broken out on Hunt Road near the Calaveres County dump.
This is the dump I go to when we need to do a run. I’d say it is about 8-10 miles from our home. Considering that this fire went from a 10 acre burn to over 1000 acres in an hour I’m very concerned. One factor on our favor is the wind is blowing South East, so away from us for now.
I’ll be monitoring the scanner throughout the night.
I reached down for my golf cart battery charger (aka Ghetto Bus) and this fat lizard was sitting on top of it. I see lizards running around the Manetarium all the time. They normally just stay very still and watch you.
Since this fatso was preventing me from using my equipment I knocked him off the charger with a broom, the chase was on. I opened the large shop bay door in anticipation of chasing Geico out that direction.
It took a while but I finally was able to get the little sucker out the door running up the driveway. I normally wouldn’t care but this one looked fat enough to be pregnant and I didn’t want a shit load of baby lizards running around the Manetarium.
Went local garage sale shopping early this morning and scored on a couple plates I don’t have. The New York plate would probably would have been a hard one to find.
I’m about 29 plates into collecting all 50. I have a bunch of duplicate states, especially the western states.
Also got this low profile metal table I can use when working next to the bus. Both sides are expandable for additional surface area.
We dropped off a bunch of stuff into the man cave it’s going to take awhile to sort out all the boxes and arranging everything. Packing company we used gave us these speed packs which are super convenient for transporting in the garage, seeds and general backyard items. We ended up with about 30 of those things and they all ended up in the shop regardless of the items in it. Shit.
Today we expect to record and close on our Valley Springs home. We should be receiving the keys later today too!
UPDATE: escrow recorded and we received the keys to our home. We took a quick ride out to Valley Springs so I could prepare the shop for Cyclops arrival.
Wifey checking out the drive way lights to her garage.
We took a ride out to Valley Springs this afternoon to check out our new to us home. We had to make a few measurements for our piano and refrigerator space. This time I took along my Canon 5DMK3 for wider angle shots instead of the usual iPhone snapshots.
Our property has a lot of photo opportunities with the natural background and studio I will be incorporating into the man cave shop down the hill.
I’ll be using our gazebo for some cool shots once we are settled in.
