Very numb, like driving a truck kinda. But still a fucking hoot.

Well, we'll see how it goes, but I have another property in my sites. This is a mamooth, basically unheard of in SoCal anywhere near OC/LA and affordable to the middle class. It's in off a dirt road by a couple miles, but that ain't no thing, and the house is tired, but not destroyed. It is however, 67 (yes 67, not 6.7) acres, with some pretty nice views.
Have to trade the pratically new xD for the upcoming Jeep Renegade for my wife, so she can safely and comfortably handle that road. I'll MadMax the Protege. Lol.

I hope this one works out for you Ben. How far is it from your work sites? Phil has been looking for a place like this too. Well not 67 acres but he want a place with at least a couple acres that he can build a work shed on.

The commute would be nasty, 46 miles each way, including 2.5 miles on a dirt road.
The whole area south and south east of lake matthews, a lot of which (like this) is unincorporated Riverside county has a number of properties in the couple acre range, houses in decent condition, on actual roads and stuff for < 400k. Wood Crest, which is a relatively nice horse area is up Van Burn but pretty close to the 91 and has nice houses and properties up to around 5 acres around $500k +- $50k.
What'd you pay for the Volt John? If I do this, eventually I need something with as many mpg as possible. The RAV EV would be perfect(ish) except for the $50k starting price. LOL.

Since the SSE Exemption has been stopped, I bought a few of these.

They're putting in more free charging here too, that's why I wondered.

I think so. It has been really slow. I know I've been really busy with work. We need to get this site going again.
Things I have on the burner.
The Cobra - it's currently down with the heads pulled. I'm porting them right now but I just used my last cartridge roll and need to pick some more up. The issue is that Grainger doesn't have them in stock anymore. The last time I bought some was about 18-20 years ago and I think I bought about 15 of them and I just used the last one. I want to pick up 5 or 6 (around $3.00) but to have them shipped to my house they want $11 which I don't want to pay. Luckily my neighbors brother works for Grainger and he's going to see if he can get them for me. If not I'll just pay the $11 but I hope not. Once I get those I can finish porting them and the I'll order the valve seals, keepers and head gaskets so I can put it back together.
The Chevelle - since the Cobra is down I haven't been able to pick up anything for the Chevelle to fix the trans. It will be a slow build of the trans.
The F100 - I've been working on the hood now and then trying to get all the rust off the under portion.
The Explorer - it's been running great and I finally got to take a wheeling out at Truck Haven this last weekend. It was an Explorer event and should have magazine coverage but we'll see. The official run we did on Saturday was way too easy and I did the whole thing in 2wd. Later that day I went out with some of the guys and did some harder stuff. I managed not to break an axle which is good. I carry a spare with me just because I've broken 4. I think I have the frontend set up better now so hopefully I won't break any more. I did manage to break the passenger side mirror by leaning into a wall while climbing up a stepped hill. I replaced it though because I also have spare mirrors. I picked up a couple from P-A-P just because I've broken a couple. I also have spare tail lights.
