:inspect: IDK but it sure looks like you're parked a little crooked there Tracy? I bet that's why you took the picture from so far away thinking you could trick us. :shock: Better be careful or you'll slip right back into that #1 spot fast. ?:giggle:

Dang! Looks like a UFO landed in the bay!


Before covid, they used to have over 20 ships per year stop for the day and shuttle passengers ashore. Brought in alot of $$$. This is the first one to stop here in about 2 years.

Quarterly battery maintenance on Ranger with my Battery Tender tonight. I have two vehicles that get driven once every couple of weeks or so - usually short trips. I loose the 'touch activated' door handle function first, even though I can still lock/unlock Ranger remotely. Ranger still starts properly. Everything is fine for several weeks after the quarterly maintenance charge.

This was actually a couple Sundays ago, (March 13th) but the Ranger got to leave the garage and go to the hardware store.

We had some high winds and a tree took out power lines about a mile away. After being without power for 8 hours, it's back on for about ten minutes because a neighbor's tree across the street comes down, takes out the power lines, takes out our mailbox, and blocks out driveway. It was the very top of the tree blocking our driveway, it missed the gate by roughly 8 feet. The still live power lines were pinned the to the ground by the tree and were buzzing/burning the grass next to the driveway.

It eventually resulted in this big fireball until the transformer popped that lever off. That was kinda cool to watch, but this left us without power for another 7 hours, lol.

The neighbor and I dealt with the aftermath using our chainsaws the next afternoon, after I put up the new mailbox/post.

I live in the woods and was happy nothing came down on our houses.

No, really, Paul @OrangeStreak deserves top spot! :giggle: I gladly bow out.:wink:
I think he'll be keeping that spot for a long time. You've actually been doing really good lately. :like: You're husband, now he needs some help.:facepalm:?
