    @Judge it went to the south of me for the most part. The heaviest stuff went through Redding and then worked its way down to Reno.

    Turns out that the cheap pie plate I had under one of the leaks actually caused the drips to spray all over instead of catching them. In a couple hours it's off to Walmart for better pans.

    A little rain here. Not much, just 0.6 inch, but since there is a big hole in my roof from where the vent was and my uncle's solution to cover it didn't really work out I woke up to a wet floor. I use aluminum baking pans and some buckets to catch it but my floor was still a mess. cont...

    An important lesson for the intrepid explorer.

    The State of California has installed a similar sign at the ghost town of Hilt, California, just south of the Oregon border. When the freeway was built, Hilt was a lumber town. A few years later, the lumber mill shut down and so did the town, but the exit remained. GPS keeps telling people stuck...

    An important lesson for the intrepid explorer.

    This happens all the time in America too. The most notorious cases are people who get lost and stuck in our vast western deserts such as the legendary Death Valley. People die slowly from thirst and heat, they get delusional and start hallucinating which makes the situation that much worse...

    Interesting old tobacco lighter found at estate sale

    I tend to grab anything that has an unusual and/or local ad on it. At this same sale I found an old 3-in-1 bottle/can opener from a long ago HVAC company. No city on the ad, just a phone number without an area code, since in the old days few people dialed area codes regularly, and a single code...

    Interesting old tobacco lighter found at estate sale

    In southern Oregon the estate sale companies have bought small warehouses to show their stuff so residents don't scream at people parking cars in front of driveways for estate sales. I went to one company's last sale of the year at their showroom in west Medford. They had trays full of stuff...

    Pulled over for no seatbelt

    Where I am the cops (mainly California Highway Patrol on the interstate and on roads in the unincorporated areas, police and sheriff handle crimes in incorporated towns and non-road crimes in the county, respectively) love to find reasons to pull people over and start asking questions.

    Why do military members move so often?

    I was once told that the military moved people around so often so that troops wouldn't "fraternize" with the civilian locals and thus might not be willing to fight against any populace the soldiers had grown too emotionally detached to. Throughout history, military service has been a deal where...

    It's winter. When the weather is clear in winter it gets really cold here, like mid 20s F. So it can get to around 40 F inside. I have a kerosene space heater but it only heats the area around my bed, so I wear a jacket and slippers to use the computer at the other end of my house.

    Happy belated birthday to me! My internet was down for two days starting early Thanksgiving morning, and of course the provider was closed for the holiday. Also the turkey I got made me sick.
