Hey bartender!
It keeps it from being an all-out boomfest. My dog tolerates the booms pretty well (I take her with me shooting skeet), but if it were yo go all night, she might get a little pissed.
Stop in for a cup of coffee

Just doing what I do
It rained and thundered all around us for hours, literally only a few miles away in every direction. We got nothing. I was really wishing we’d get some, would save me from watering tonight.

Another 4.2 temblor out there in Ridgecrest. The Mojave is shakin' like a Poodle poopin' peach pits. 
First official load on dump trailer
First job is cleaning out the parking spot for it. Wood chips i was saving to make pellets. Now that i work at home its cheaper to buy than waste my time making them.

Parkfield Ca. 90 miles from here. San Andreas fault goes right through it. USGS has an earthquake study lab there.
Didn't make it into the mountains like I planned.
I left at 4 a.m. and made it to a pancakes and sausage breakfast by 7 a.m. then a parade and car show started up. Saw a handful of mopars.
Then I took off with the car packed and everything ready to go. Then about 6 miles up the road ....flap blap blap .... one of my red line tires .... FLAT.
so then I was changing the tire and some guy pulls up to "help" me. Younger guy but creepy as hell. He wouldn't leave even after I told him I don't need any help and i will be just fine. So i was hoping he would go away but he pretty much watched me change the tire. CREEPY!!!! Next time i am not going on a road trip alone.
So I got the tire on and everything put back in the trunk and i took off and he followed about a mile and a half so I turned up this dirt road and he kept going. Wheewwwww
So I waited about 20 minutes and then got back on the main road. Then about 40 minutes later the rear end started making noises. Never heard before.
So I picniced at a nice quiet spot for awhile and then turned around and drove 3.5 hours back home. On the way home the noise got worse and now it's going continuously. I think is a bearing. 7.25 rear end.
So it's time for a 8.75 or ferd 8.8.... more likely an 8.8.

90-92 Ranger 8.8s are sposed to be a good fit from what I have read.
90 to 2009 works but 90 to 92 are 2 inches narrower. I have a 91 for my valiant wagon which is a narrow car but I like the wider ones for duster bodies because dusters have such wide fender wells

The noise?

Hey bartender!
Call Ben.. He'll road trip with you! Still have the creepy dude problem tho!
Yep. Lots of things are not allowed, but that means very little most of time for a whole bunch of reasons.
I can't speak for other parts but around here it can be bad but not war zone bad. I'm close to a big park - which is a relatively safe place to light them off I suppose.
Gunshots around here are now a rarity. So that much is better. Even down where I rent the garage is not as often as it used to be.

So no fire works in west Texas, in city limits? Why? afraid of burning down all the dirt??? @Ben Drinkin

Although the coastal redwoods up around Fort Bragg are a very close second. Point Reyes is just much closer.
