The Empty Cabinets of my Mind

Caught in the Act

I've seen the infamous Google car shadows in online maps, and yes they do look just like one imagines flying saucers or UFO's anyway might look, but finally I caught a photo of one in real time:

Now I wonder, did it take a picture of me taking a picture of it? 

Once I was talking on the phone with a friend who was some 5 states away and during our conversation I typed in the address he said he was at to see what that area looked like and was astonished to see his car sitting in front of the house of the friend he was visiting.  I was able to tell him the colors and makes of the other cars parked alongside of him, and as he was sitting in his car during this conversation, I astounded him by describing a white truck that turned left onto the cross street right ahead of him.   More spooked than astounded, I think.

The likelihood of that happening again anytime soon is probably infinitesimal. 

Just Listed Beautiful Holiday Rambler Motor Home with Tow Car

My friend is selling this beautiful clean and luxurious 1995 Holiday Rambler motor home.

Only 11036 miles!

I'm tempted to buy it myself, but I already have enough toys. 

Speaking of toys, the seller is offering this coach for $25,000 or you can buy it together with a hot purple Plymouth Breeze tow car that has almost no miles on it for $30,000.  That price includes the motor home, tow car, and custom made tow package.  I haven't checked the odometer on the Breeze yet, but he thinks it is around 2K.  

Here is the eBay listing for this motor home:

Who You Callin' a Turkey?

OK, the last fuzzies that I photographed on the golf course were baby Canada geese, but were other birds too.  Bigger birds.  Wild turkeys to be exact, and do they ever make a racket.  

Yes, those are sand traps in the background, and I know some two-legged critters that make quite a racket, too, when their golf balls land in those. 

How many turkeys have I hit with my own ball so far?  Not telling.

Where Can We Put All the Stuff?

The reason I have not been blogging as reliably lately is a four letter word:  G-O-L-F.

Here is a photo of the links at my summer place:

 

Golf is a great excuse to get out and exercise in all kinds of weather. 

Here we saw quite a few critters on the grass.  Among them were deer, wild turkeys, and lots of rabbits.  They have red foxes here, but I didn't see any on this trip.

 

 

With all the electronic toys to take and bowling gear and now golf gear, I may have to get another shed to have a place to put all the stuff.

As I am a do-it-yourselfer (or was until all these sports started eating up my life), it is fascinating for me to see sites such as ryan henderson my shed plans review .  I love to see what other people have built as some enterprising back yard shed builders are quite imaginative.  Naturally, I want a potting stand that is accessible from inside and out my dream shed and places to store different kinds of soil and other plant stuff.  This, of course, wants to be isolated from my sports equipment. 

When building a shed I will need to consider that summers are very hot down in the Palm Desert area as just because I am up north for the hottest months of summer does not mean that all the stuff I left behind is cool.  Think solar powered ventilation!?!?
