Enjoy 30 seconds of rain hitting the pavers, and enjoy the view of the gray sky to the west!

Elan
I am old enough to remember riding this same snowmobile, it had a single-cylinder two-cycle engine and all bogy wheels in the track, no sliders. A good basic sled for the family and lots of fun to ride. When you grow up snowmobiling, you just can’t forget stuff like this! Are you a snowmobiler?
That Gosh Damn Wind!
I have lived in my home for four years now as of 2023 and so far, the wind has not ripped a frond off of either of my Mexican Fan Palms until today. These windstorms are much more frequent in the winter months and can kind of get on my nerves after it’s been blasting for three days. Gusts to 60mph have apparently taken the palm frond off. C’mon wind, give us a break!
C Modified Hydro
This boat just won’t climb on plane as you will notice after the engine finally fires. On plane means that the center of the propeller at the shaft becomes equal with the water’s surface which allows for much more speed. It’s a matter of getting enough forward speed to allow the propeller to “bite” enough to gain speed.
You can tell when the engine and boat are on plane when you hear the engine RPM slow way down suddenly. Then, the engine can push the boat far faster allowing for much more speed. Does that make sense? This is what I grew up with and I love it! Disclaimer: This is not my video.
Old Summerlin Photo and Cornball Snow
The photo isn’t nearly as clear as I’d like and driving in the snow is not something I normally do with my truck. It’s overcast this morning, a big surprise lately, right?
My Rainy Backyard
Such a dank day but Lake Mead needs the water so badly. I love the sound of rain, don’t you?
The La’s At The Traffic Light
This song was recorded in 1988 if I read this article correctly, but I really love the song regardless of it having me feel a little sad thinking about past loves lost. What a day man, it’s overcast and fifty-something degrees… Days like this leave me feeling blah for lack of beautiful sunshine.
Pretty Done, Las Vegas
Just a few images from today’s bike ride under a blue sky and 100% sunshine. Apparently, someone really wants 2022 out of the way very quickly…
Man Plays Violin For Tips
Every Christmas, this man shows up in this parking area to play his violin for tips from passing cars. His playing is fantastic! I was heading home and didn’t want to walk or drive over there for better audio, sorry. I pointed the phone at the truck bed and let it record what it could. These big ornaments are at the main entrance to Tivoli Village. Sunshine and 64 degrees for Las Vegas today, I’ll take it!
A Las Vegas Liftoff
Flying is fun!
Southfield, Michigan and A Tram
A tram or a trolley, take your pick I guess, it is located in the Delta Airlines terminal at Detroit Metro Airport as we have always called it for decades. After arriving in Detroit for our family Christmas a few days ago, I snapped these iPhone photos passing through Southfield on the freeway while my niece was driving. Southfield was an area I hung around in years ago when dating a babe who was from West Bloomfield. The sunset was very pretty but shame again on me for not bringing the Nikon and 140mm lens!
It Was Cold!
It was very cold, and I was wearing a thick, very warm hunting coat too. Funny though that soon it will be very much colder there! More confirmation that Vegas is a good place to be… Sorry for the poor frame rate.
