This is a Car Guy kind of You Tube segment called Jason Drives.  It’s like Top Gear, only different.  The worst car in the world to drive, a 1951 Hoffmann.

 

 

It was a difficult day today.  I had ribs in the smoker when it started to rain in the afternoon.  The smoker is located in a bunker that protects it from wind, but there is no protection from overhead, which makes sense because the smoke from the smoker has to escape.  Whatever was over it would get turned black from the smoke.  No protection from rain.  We rigged a temporary plywood shelter over it at a safe distance above, so the electronics wouldn’t get wet, and the day was saved.

 

We used one of the several 2 by 4 sheets of plywood we have on hand, in preparation for parking the motorhome in the very same spot we parked it last winter.  As you will recall, the motorhome sunk and ran aground last year.  In preparation for the possibility that there might again be extended rain this winter, we’ve had a nice ¾ inch sheet of plywood cut down into four sections so we can position each section under a motorhome wheel, or set of wheels.  There will mud boards, eight square feet of plywood under every wheel.  We don’t want to see the motorhome listing like that again.


Well, the rain let up.  The temperature is still in the low eighties.  The humidity is still up.  Just like we like it.  I got eight hours smarter yesterday digitally attending an all-day continuing education seminar in California about how to commit fraud in a government organization.  It was nice to be in San Francisco without having to deal with any of the traffic.  And the food was excellent, by the way.
