Picture of the day. (Taken by you)

[R6cowboy]

My pic of the day is a tale of heartbreak and destruction. Lost about 30 kit boxes to water in the bomb shelter I was using to store them temporarily while I get the shop up and going. Been drying them out, but most are pretty well gone. Luckily all the contents are fine. This will force me to build them I suppose. Ugh.

That hurts even all the way over here in IL. For what it's worth (which is never much...lol), my heart sunk a lil' for ya.

Ouch

A key reminder to always store stuff off the ground on pallets or blocks or whatever..

I've learned that lesson the hard way too a ways back. But thank goodness it wasn't anything of this importance.

Working from home still so I walked down by the frozen lake on lunch. The ground is like mush from all the snow melting. 2 weeks below zero and 60 today. Feels great out!

Reached 70 today and saw the first toad of the year in the driveway tonight after picking my daughter up from a school thing. Always nice to see as a sign of spring. Hard to believe these things survive the cold winters here.

While taking a walk today we ran across a murder! ... of Crows.

Did you know that American Crows and Australian Crows have different accents ?

I'm not sure if that is a joke, so I'll just say "They do?"

[THEYTOOKMYTHUMB]

Ok, my curiosity got the better of me and I see that it is actually true. I thought maybe you would say an American Crow's call comes from it's beak and an Australian Crow calls from down undah!!

[RC10th]

Lmao

I especially like the fact curiosity got the better of you

This is actually an older picture. This exact engine is no longer with us, a roller lifter failure took out the block. The fresh engine is on the stand, I just need to get the motivation to put it in.

Lucky you, I tend to run out of motivation when the money stops

Hallasan (Mt. Halla) on Jeju Island, Korea. And some mid-slope pine forest along the trail.

7m+ tall lava column in an extraordinarily named lava tube that I can't spell nor have the inclination to look up at this time. I can/will if anyone is THAT interested. But same trip, same island.

Sadly, the fresh engine has been sitting there for about a year. Right about the time I got everything needed, all the COVID stuff started.

Being stuck at the house more, I shifted more heavily into RC again. My fishing has suffered too.

Speaking of fishing, another old pic. That's about a half mile offshore. Wasn't really trying to hard at fishing, more like relaxing with a line out.

Is the fresh engine 302, or does it have added inches?
