    @Twizted how's your air intake deal working?
    I have all the crap to do mine but just haven't been able to yet.

    I got here without issues, we haven’t lost power at all this month so we’re fortunate at my place.

    I’m with you.. rather be home for the time being. My kids are young and my wife is due with the third in a week, so trying to normalize as much as possible.

    So far so good. I did swap out the fender trim for simple 3/8" hose cut into three 1" lengths, then sliced along one edge to wrap around the firewall. The fender trim was too stiff, and you could hear the aluminum tube rubbing under torque.

    Damn! The wind is nucking futz today! Was windy down in LA. Turbulance the ENTIRE flight to Sac. Landing in Sac was a bit hair raising. And then it took nearly 3 hours to get from the Airport just to Elk Grove.Screenshot_20191027-151302_Maps.jpg

    The lady friend and I have a couch for anyone that needs it. We can also cook some pretty damn good food if anyone needs anything. Also have a place for people to park an extra vehicle if needed

    Damn. Just got home from camping in the McCloud and finally we were getting push notifications for all fires. The fiancée's family has their power cut in Petaluma thru novato and the ones in Santa Rosa were evacuated.

    Hope everyone is safe in the affected areas.

    On a lighter note though, the Mrs.-to-be may have ok'd the possibility of getting a RTT.

    I saw some news footage with a huge smoke plume pushing up through a layer of smoke. The helo shooting the video was split between the layer-surreal looking.

    South Bay is starting to get the smoke. Smells horrible.

    Watching the game, I was thinking this season's team looks like a TEAM and not a bunch of individuals playing football. That was refreshing to see.

    Spotted @Dex__43 in my driveway today. Did the cowl air intake reroute mod, changed brake pads, did the double brake caliper spring mod, installed redline hood struts, and installed BAMF rear diff skid.

    I'm always puzzled by solar LED lights. I stare for hours and wonder how.
