No. It was The Cracked Egg. It's a little hole in the wall place in downtown Kernville. It's good.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Nice work!
I spent half the day at the hospital urgent care because my wife's back is worse than mine. If I hadn't had to help her get around in the wheelchair, I'd've seen the doctor, myself.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Took my girl in for her shots. I cannot believe that she is already 3 years old. Time fly's.
She weighed in at 33 pounds and there's not an ounce of fat on her. She's just built like a brick sh-t house. She's thick. And tougher than a cheap steak. She's wet in the pic. She attacks the hose when we water the plants. ![]() ![]()

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Wife heard a noise late last night like a tree fell over. Couldn't see anything and didn't care to roam the yard that late. Found this in the morning. Huge branch snapped off a Water Oak (I think, It maybe a live oak). Not sure if it was weight or disease (or both). Well time to test my new Hobo Freight electric chainsaw. 4.5 hrs and 8 or 9 loads in the old Nissan got her out of the yard. I got to admin the HF Bauer 16" electric perform great. Well worth the money and way more powerful than the one I wore out over 10 years.
Was too tire after to show the pile of debris waiting on the city to come collect. Time for some Motrin, AC and a recliner ![]()

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Not Today, but last Tuesday we stopped at the Durango Diner on Main St. in Durango Co. Had a great breakfast and picked up a case of their green chile. Then we went for a train ride on the Durango and Silverton Railroad.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Well today I finally did it. I got solar power for 2 of my houses. I think that that last $600 electric bill that I got last month pushed me over the edge. So we will see how this works out. Hopefully well. Fingers crossed. This company came highly recommended by my wife's friend who has it and the numbers made sense. If I can save money I'm down with that.
Hey!!!! I'm going green!! Yeah right. I'm just cheap. More money for me to spend on gas guzzling internal combustion engines. I don't hug trees but I have dated some tall women. That's kind of the same thing? Right? ![]() Don't tell them that I said that. I'll get my azz kicked. They're bigger than me.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Well, a good side affect is you'll be helping take strain off the grid for others. Probably feed some juice back in, too.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Went to Massachusetts for lunch today on the motorcycles. Lots of idiots on the road but it still was an enjoyable ride.
On the way up just outside of Copake NY there was a huge solar array that they must have put up this year as it wasnt there last fall. Great wonderfull thing green power , downside it was on what used to be a farm so now nice green fresh crops have been tilled over and rows of black ugly panels and from what I can find there will be panels on 220 acres as they are still building . The farm was over 800 acres and the company bought it all . So less local agriculture and livestock . So now we truck it in using fuel . So where's the gain ? I have no problem with solar power but keep them on roofs and commercial buildings and not use farmlands.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Not only are they ugly, but they can cause localized cooling or heating, depending on the location. It can really jack the ecology of an area to do this. There are schools around here, and the city Senior Center, that have solar panels providing shade in the parking lots. That makes double sense, since the the vehicles are shaded and won't need the AC as much, besides the power generated. People can park their EVs and charge their cars, too.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
The local power company around here put in about a 100 acre solar farm a few years ago, they were "Trackers" that rotate to the movement of the sun.
When straight up they are 4' to 5' off the ground, the weeds would grow, get tall and interfere with the panels, not to mention the F.D. on their a** for keeping the weeds down, so management whom evidently were all city reared boy's decided to bring in goats to eat the weeds down. Don't need to tell you what came next do I? Yep... the goats were jumping onto and destroying the panels. They now have a good "Roundup" spray program. |

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
It bothers me to see huge solar arrays ruining farmland. As if they don't do that enough with crackerbox houses. Shade fir parking lots is a great idea. So our emissions are causing global warming? How much affect do all the paved parking lots have on ambient temps? They certainly care about all the rainfall that lands on them. I have always wished there could be shade trees in parking lots. I always look for shade when parking in summertime. Parking lots are the hottest places on Earth!
I saw where they are beginning to install solar panels over canals in CA. There is a great idea. I know it's flowing water but there must be some evaporation happening. Shade it! I took my bicycle to the C & O Canal at Lock 54 downriver from Hancock, MD and rode into town, then on up river. I've enjoyed the Potomac River, canal, and towpath for many years, but they are all still growing on me. I guess the longer I'm here the more I look around. It's a lot more than a historic ditch along the river with a tow path and stone aqueducts at the rivers and creeks. I mean all that is cool and most people appreciate all that. But if you look around there is so much more to give a sense of it's history. The canal operated for almost 100 years and just like a hiway, life built up along the way with settlements, landings, mining operations, etc. I never thought about culverts for the lesser streams. For rivers and the bigger creeks they built aqueducts over. Basically a bridge that carried the canal. Those are way cool and some are still intact. The culverts are for the minor streams and a whole lot of work people just ride over w/o noticing now. They dug way down below canal grade to run the streams under the canal. They are stone masonry tunnels. A whole lot of highly skilled work for a no-name little stream to pass. Here are pictures looking through, looking out, and the stone slab it runs across on it's way down to the river This is the Tonoloway Creek Aqueduct looking upstream. It leads directly into lock 54. This one got the sides blown out from bad floods and USPS has built steel structure to support. This is a sample of the iron rail on the aqueduct looking upstream

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
This house stands at Lock 54. The owner built it when news of the canal came out. It served as an inn and sold supplies to those on the canal. This is not the lock house. That was over by the lock .
Looking downstream across the aqueduct toward the house and lock #54. The canal used a series of dams to assure water supply and lock #54 was just above Dam #6, which is no longer standing. Part of this stonework is a guard lock for the dam. The lower end of the lock Iron work for the lock doors let into the stonework

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
On my way back home I decided to hit the river & canal further downstream at Dam #5. It is not only still standing, it is still an operational power plant. Imagine getting your electricity from a power plant that is a National Historic Site. Last picture is the guard lock/overflow flume filled in
