For car fans... some of the old gems from not only Czechia/Czechoslovakia on an historic cars event:

Sadly I wasnt there, so photos are from the news.

Lots of cool cars there. I like the MTX beach buggies. They look like fun.

I replaced a sprinkler valve. The old solenoid was good so I scavenged that for future use. While doing so I thought of Doc Ido finds a cyber eye:

Inferno hike went well. I used a camera setting for beach and snow. That made good photos. Videos are still washed out white.

Ha. The thermometer had in sunlight. Cooled off to 105F after being in the shade a while.

Spacekdet, you have a Pentax-wg2. Any recommendations for making videos in bright light and bright surfaces so they don't get washed out?

I explored the high class life. I shopped at a food store that avoided being walmarted* by going a little upscale rather than lose competing on price. I jokingly call that one "the party member's store". Carpet! Tortilleria bakes 'em right there, in-store coffee shop and bar/restaurant, fancy wooden beer/booze aisle. My favorite coffee shop was closed today so I tried Plateau Espresso. It is on expensive land in the foothills with a great view. It wasn't "the party mem..." I expected. Nice building and location. Simple decor. Fancy coffee a bit expensive but plain was same price as elsewhere. I had a cafe mocha and sat on the outdoor patio.

The saga of the water heater: here

*going out of business when can't compete with Walmart

currently trying out the covid... nothing nice. Very wierd illness. I feel like run over by a bus. Every muscle hurts, every joint. Who would say we have so many muscles :D At least this one is with no cough or cold and not much higher temp than usual. I feel almost ok, just everything hurts like I had a week-long training in the gym with no pause.
