Frosty starts followed by warm sunny days are expected here over the next 5 days and hopefully I'll have my edges done along with the mowing by the weekend.

Anyhow as the mercury here approaches Frostville again I'm off to checkout the inside of my eyelids.

Cheers.

Everything here at this location requires some sort of transportation, food(Calfresh) and mail.

I live 13 miles from town in an actual desert and in a food desert, walking I can't do and there is no public transit or buses here.

The US Mail is delivered to the local Post Office about 2.5 miles from here and not to the street addresses.


Me too! Not the desert part, we have water all around us, but it is a food desert. I have to drive at least 10 miles to the closest grocery store. Like you no local mail delivery. Mail is delivered to the local post office that is about 2 miles away. Only 1 bridge on or off the island and no one walks because the roads are too narrow. Except for walking on the levy. That's fun and has many nice views but it will not get you off the island.
Sunrise from my morning walk on the levy.

Sad to say just a large lump of concrete half buried in the ground. Will be great to see and hear it back home in its F104 one day.

The RB183s are sat in a Buccaneer that was brought here very carefully on two low-loaders. If fully recertified, its flyable.

Supposedly, it is to go flying again...

There's a lot of work being done for it but not recently... Hopefully the syndicate can indeed get it going despite the COVID problems and consequences.

Here's hoping to sometime soon hear their dual roar!

Reading codes is such a scam. $95 to read the code! I do understand that a mechanic needs to factor in overhead, rent, employee wages, withholding, equipment, tools, consumables, loaner car, advertising, coffee in the lobby, billing, and administration but a code reader is under $30.

There are some that work with your phone that sell for under $20. Even mine which is a pro-level unit is under $90.

Trough ghoulish stratified mists in a ghostly still night under clear sky stars.

Spooky!

Well that's another 20m of edges done and another wheelbarrow full of diggings so now I'm going to relax and enjoy a few ginger beers while I wait for my legs to start talking to me again.

Cheers.

After a spinal reset I'm now watching the sun getting closer to that other horizon.

I talked to a friend and the problem could be a MAF sensor needs cleaning or the air filter needs cleaning or there is a vacuum leak in a hose, since bank 1 reads running lean.

He's going to look for a cleaner, though it's not for tonight, so I'll pay the $135 and go from there, as of Oct 1st I won't be able to legally drive on public roads without a current tag.

Without a car I won't have a way to go and buy food like I did today. But Oct 1st is a ways off so who knows?

[@ Vic,]

Vic, I don't know if you are aware; but, I believe I read somewhere in DMV literature from the past that once
DMV Registration Fees have been paid in full that in a Smog Year, you have 90 Days from the Paid Fees' Date
to get the vehicle Smogged and transmitted to DMV.

Maybe Gary, or Carlos can confirm this.... Or, maybe you can look this up via DMV Website to confirm. I might
be mistaken.

Good Luck my friend. :-)

The last time I had this happen I replaced the O2 sensors, I might also go back to using iridium sparkplugs since this lean condition started then.

That's something to be picked up from the Engine Management Unit diagnostics...



Platinum or iridium are not stock to the zx2, iridium is a hotter plug, where as platinum is supposed to deliver higher mpg by comparison.

Snake-oil. Don't waste your money on those!!!

The combustion temperature and fuel efficiency is controlled by the EMU (and by the driver's foot).

Provided the spark plug meets the required spec, anything 'extra' is just silly Marketing lies.


Go cleanly!

And good luck!

In Salt Lake City. Smoke has been bad the entire drive. Reno was so bad it was hard to breathe. Here it's 97 which is moderately unhealthy.
