If you go into a Ridenow, bring your own lube, cuz they will try and bend you over. Bait and switch masters. I had a big go around with a Ridenow, here in Tucson years ago. Don't finance with them. I don't know if they still do, but they used to use GE money bank for financing, and they are Sharks. GE was a big Obama crony Corp, and the company is having financial problems. Setup fee's are a ripoff. All they do is uncrate it, and add the fluids. Those fee's can be negotiated.

Condolences to his wife and family. I read his articles for years, here in Tucson. Always liked the man. Keep that campfire burning Bill. See you on the other side!

Pastrana is a little nuts, and did lots of crazy stuff on a motocross bike and has nine lives. Guys like, David Bailey, and, Ernesto Fonseca, are in a wheelchair for life.

Monsoon didn't last past early August last year. At least for the Tucson area. Looks like another sweat fest by the end of the week, with rising temps. Ugh!

"Shrooms" are better.

I just did my grocery shopping at the Wally World at Grant and Alvernon. I was wondering what all the people at the Bus stop were licking.

My dog got ahold of a small one once. Fortunately, I was able to flush her mouth out with a garden hose.

Hopefully, she doesn't know how to start it. LOL.

Report for my location, is almost 1" of rain, as much as 1.6" in other areas?

Been raining pretty good. Just went grocery shopping, and Columbus is running heavy with water, and many of the streets on the downslope side are as well. Traffic sucked. Staying indoors, and making a big crock pot full of homemade Chili. It's one of those days.

Been drizzling all night, but now it's gotten heavier, with thunder. So much for getting my outside work done today. LOL.

Been getting a very light drizzle for the last 90 minutes. Anybody in the greater Tucson area getting anything heavier?

Wow. It's actually drizzling at Wilmot & Tanque Verde.

I can feel the increase in humidity with all the clouds that rolled in.

Yeah a realtor I do stuff for is in Rocky point right now and texted me a pic of a beutiful just slightly cloudy sky with waves coming in from the beach. At the same time it was storming here. I hope it's gonna get most of AZ but it looks like it could just clip the southeast corner of the state. I hope I'm wrong.The local news station meteorologists promised rain on Friday and Saturday. If that storm hooks to the east, I kinda wonder if they might be wrong?

They predicted rain in Tucson by tomorrow night, with temps dropping to around 90. What a relief. So far the rain has been going east of us.

BP should consider sending out teams of 2. I really hate to see this stuff happen.

Years ago I bought a Craftsman 110v flux core wirefeed welder.I think it was around $250. Not a bad little unit. The duty cycle was a little short, but it was o.k for light to medium sized projects.

The local news people are salivating over the possibility of storms.

I don't think the Meteorologists are rubbing their crystal ball hard enough. Ominous looking clouds over Tucson, when they said it was going to be sunny.

Triple crown is the, Kentucky Derby, Preakness, and Belmont. The same horse has to win all 3 to get a Triple Crown. The Racing career of these horses is very short. Only 3 year olds are eligible to race in the Triple crown races. Bob Baffert, who trained Justify, won the Triple crown in 2015 with American Pharaoh. The last triple crown winner before that, was in 1978.

1973 Kentucky derby is 1 1/4 mile track Preakness is 1 3/16 of a mile Before Secretariat came along in 1973, it had been 25 years since there was a triple Crown winner.

Secretariat smoked everyone in that race. I was 11 years old, and can still remember all the hype from that season.

Mike Smith is a heck of a Jockey. Rob Gronkowski's horse came from last up too 2nd?. Wow.

Will "Justify" do it today? American Pharaoh did in 2015. Bob Baffert is an Arizona native, and a great trainer.
