Those wind turbines ruined the whole thing. Our ancestors will marvel over them and ask, what they were used for !
I enjoyed the rest of the pic's. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah. I was out by the city of Mojave and the area is just covered by them. Definately hard to take pictures in that area without them being in the picture.

We have the same problems with east to west and back contrails streaking up our nice clear blue sky's. We also have an area several miles long with those massive eye sours right in prime farm land. Ouchhhhh

Finished up the J200's thermostat today. Putting it back together was easy peasy and the boy did it himself. No leaks - no RTV! Getting the housing off took a while as everything was corroded / RTV'ed in there real well. Took it slowly and carefully and used lots of PB Blaster. Ordered the wrong gasket so we got to practice our gasket making skills as well. Took the time to really clean up the mating surfaces and flattened out the removed piece with emory paper on the garage floor. Much better than before!

Next project, I pulled my spare tire out from under my truck to verify it’s condition. I’m glad I checked now instead of when/if I have a problem. I was missing the hook part of the pole assembly that unwinds the spare from under the truck. So doing what any good backwoods man would do, I ”borrowed” a hood prop off of an old Ford ranger truck and some vise grips and unwound the spare tire. Then wound the assy back up because my spare will be getting relocated for more ground clearance.
I’m glad I checked it, it isn’t going to pass I will have to order another stock aluminum rim as a spare wheel.
