What's your view look like today?

Stupid California. Towing speed limit is 55 mph. Very safe when traffic is going 70+, even one CHP I spoke with thought it was more dangerous but he has to enforce the laws, not make them.

Good song. I have not spent too much time in California but I can see why people like and dislike it.

You just cant beat the California weather and geography. =/

I am in the early phase of building a Vortech superchaged 15f motor and was talking to a buddy with a turbo ultra out in norcal about cooling. He said in CC trim the water temps never get hot so I asked what the water temp was. He said 60-70F... We hit 90+ in Houston and it's brown most of the time...

I completely see the appeal of California but I can't justify the move because despite some shortcomings, I love Texas.

90+ WATER temps??????????

 

[smokeysevin]

Yep, at the end of September/August with no rain means relatively stagnant, shallow, salt water in the bay.

Its rough, even the "cooler" layer of water near the bottom is hot.

One of the areas I used to ride before all my skis became projects...

Found this epic bookshelf design on the internet a few years back so I finally decided to tackle it!

Now that Clive Cussler has passed, my complete collection of all his books needs to be displayed with honor.

Borrowed a router table from my neighbor and ordered a Tongue and Groove bit from Amazon.

Couple long days later...Nailed it!

For the first time this year this place is starting to actually look like ski season weather.

Made my work space a little nicer with a shelf and an LED light.

Yeah, it's an extra deep one car with laundry in it. It's a sacrifice we had to make to walk to the beach.

We upgraded to a 3 bay garage and it has been so much nicer. Walking distance from a beach would be pretty awesome too though!

We love so many things about our current home but my wife dangled this little carrot in front of me last night...
I don't think it trumps our current situation in any way shape or form though. Just more to clean and keep up.
And as much as I would love another shop, I'm never home enough to use it.

Retractable boat straps and leave them bolted to the hitch hauler and wing nuts on the pinch bolt.

I’ve thought about the retractable boat straps. The problem is I don’t have a rear eyelet and I wrap the strap over the tray with a turfed 1x6 over top. So it needs to be about 7 feet long and I haven’t found one that’s made to be mounted that long. Maybe I’ll come up with something using a regular 10’ retractable strap.

You work your arse off. Need to get something that is a 10k sq ft shop with a 2 bed 1 bath studio right on the beach.

Saw this at the local Yamaha dealer today lol

Someday. It’s too soon for that yet though. I am likely to move again within 2-3 years for work so until I reach retirement age, there’s not much sense putting roots down too deep.

Took my son for a drive and taught him some life lessons about couches.

Had to clear a path before we got to launch today.
