The worse thing that can happen beyond your control is a fire caused by some jackass performing a burn pile and losing control of it.
This was my view coming over Pardee Dam Road. Not a good sight to see knowing it’s the same direction as home.
This fire was approximately 4-5 miles away from our home.
We got lucky as night came, the fire started heading East and the firemen on the ground kept it from going over the hill towards Valley Springs town area. During the day the air support both helicopter and airplanes created a fire retardant line that stopped the forward motion. If this was a windy day it could have gotten ugly really fast.
I picked up another piece of hardware gear, a Zoom H6. I was originally looking at the Zoom H4N but I was checking out the local Craigslist and stumbled on the H6 model at a very good price.
I’ve been messing around with remote toys ever since I was kid. The most reason was the DJI Phantom series drone that I had to completely modify for longer flight times and further range. I grew tired of that hobby and that was the end of remote toys.
Hello RC cars! I’m looking to mess around with these things but mostly to get into building up a track and obstacle course to screw around in.
We have a perfect spot in the west side of the property. The grounds are flat enough to do some track racing and other sections toward the back can be used for 4-wheeling along the rocks and dirt hills.
When I first started commuting the Ione road from Jackson Highway 16 was periodically closed and I had to head towards Jackson for another turn off towards Ione.
It looks like I’ll be doing that again since the road is closed again for a few days at Mission Bar Rd due to railroad work. Bitches.
The detour roads are so messed up I’m not going to take them anymore. I’ll be going the long way around and saving the rubber on my tires and giving my suspension a break. It’s so freakin’ bad the traction alarm come on in certain areas.
I saw this motor at a local estate sale. It was the last day so everything on the property was half off. I could have bought the entire motor for $100 bucks.
I didn’t.
Sometimes things are better left alone. I’d lug that sucker all the way home only to look at it for the following years taking up space.
The title is sort of deceiving, it indicates that this is a Sunday type of dessert while the reality is I’ve been eating one like this the 4 nights. Each night it gets even better!
Got a call from my care provider Kaiser. I was able to get an appointment for a first dose vaccine.
So we’re other folks…
EDIT: The reason it was so freakin’ busy was the fact that Kaiser had an abundance of vaccine that needed to be dispersed before expiring. This meant they were allowing walk-ins to get vaccinated which automatically created a longer line of folks waiting for a shot regardless of you had an appointment scheduled. Shit.
We moved to Valley Springs from Stockton CA. over a couple years ago. I’ve passed this Mexican store and deli countless times and always wanted to stop in and check it out.
Wifey has been feeling under the weather so I went to see if they sold any type of Mexican soup.
It turns out there is a deli and the food sold is about “down home” as you can get. The owner Lucy is super nice and take her time preparing your order. I have to remind myself that when someone beats me to the counter. I’ve since gone back several times.
One note, when you use the parking lot you need to be strategic as the patrons don’t give a shit where they park. There are no guide line parking stalls. It’s pretty much wherever you happen to turn off your motor you’re good. It doesn’t matter if someone can’t get out. Also, jumping back on highway 26 can be challenge depending on what time of the day it is.
