Admin Czar: Back again! Just in time for 118' at the house:) At least the monsoon came back too so that gives some relief. And much needed rain. Jul 12, 2024 20:31:23 GMT -7
Admin Czar: Ugh. :P A bit warm. yes. Had to do another 2100 mile round trip on short notice. My back was/is in a real bad way & came home to a dead AC unit. Other than that its been just peachy! Jun 22, 2024 8:50:53 GMT -7
Admin Czar: Got my bike shop back. One chick died & the other started flying over the weekend. They laid two more eggs but a cactus wren had them for dinner Monday. So got rid of the nest & cleaned up the shop yesterday. Work may now continue! Jun 5, 2024 3:18:37 GMT -7
Admin Czar: Now we have two little chicks. Put a security cam close by and see that both parents feed the younglings, May 26, 2024 18:35:03 GMT -7
Admin Czar: Currently working on getting the bird to trust me. I've gone in the shop a few times a day & stay about 10 ft away from her. I'm jonesing to get back to work plus my new arc welder is only a foot away from the nest. May 23, 2024 0:30:58 GMT -7
Admin Czar: yes but was gone for 3 weeks & came home to a dove nest with eggs in my bike shop. It's right on top of my tool box too. Dumb birds but it's the safest spot on the property. Totally fenced in & covered. Mama is smarter than most :) May 23, 2024 0:09:35 GMT -7

Admin Czar: Lots of ruski & chinese spammers "applying for membership". Microsoft says the russians hacked tons of corporate email accounts & russians are warming up for the pres elections. So much free entertainment! :) Mar 9, 2024 18:18:57 GMT -7
desertbikes: Guess we didn't pay our weather bill. Forecast changed again to another 3 days of rainy cold foggy days ;) Jan 24, 2024 21:50:20 GMT -7
desertbikes: Rain, fog, cold, rain, drizzle, rain wind.... I know I should be happy about this weather considering triple digits are only a couple months away, but.... ::) It's interfering with my bike & shooting time Jan 22, 2024 17:53:40 GMT -7
Admin Czar: A 6 cylinder 1964 Ford Econoline here. That was about as good as it got for room. The inevitable exhaust manifold leak might explain some of the brain damage. But in winter it was easy to pop the "hood" for manual carb choke ;) Jan 14, 2024 5:51:43 GMT -7
Admin Czar: Member the Ford & chevy vans in the 60s & 70s. You popped the hood between the front seats 8-) Great for some things. Vans are such a bitch to work on. But what car isn't anymore... Jan 11, 2024 17:18:36 GMT -7
