Working on fixing the caulking behind the kitchen sink...
First removing the old caulking that had water get under.
I think this happened because I didn't do a good enough job of letting the area completely dry before I applied the new caulking.
Learning process..
Learning process..
This is after already removing some of the caulking.
I may try to do a localized repair, instead of redoing the caulking along the entire area behind the sink.
Will have to see how it goes first.
If it looks bad after the localized repair, I'll have to redo the whole area.

Just unusual to see.
RHD European BMW wagon...
This is 90s Supra.
Taking the cover off the cam drive gears is interesting...
While working for Mitsubishi for about 1.5 years, I drove a white EVO, with the kinda ridiculous rear wing. That may have been the best part of working there...
The way the rotors mount to the wheel is pretty elegant...
180 MPH speedo...
Nice but it went too far...
Pretty ridiculous rear wing for the street...

Sunday, December 12, 2021 -- Long Beach Car Swap Meet -- Part 1
Asking $75,000...!
Asking $17,000
One of the coolest features of all time (the back window and tail-gate). The glass goes into the roof and the tailgate goes down into the floor, electrically... Amazing...
Volvo pretty much copied a Ford design... Except in 7/8th scale...
Saturday, December 11, 2021 -- Pelican Parts Cars & Coffee - Part 2
Mazda Kei car (I think it was called the AZ-1?).
Lots of "design" going on on the hood of the Lotus Evora...
Mail-slot like rear view...
Dealer plate...
A lot of "design" going on the rear of the car too.
Kinda looks like it's "butt" is sticking out...
Do like round tail lights (on almost any car!).
The door handle on the Rolls Royce.
The car is pretty much the low point (nadir?) of Rolls Royce design but the door handle is beautiful.
Like the little brackets/tabs at the top of the headlamps.
I don't know if they're necessary but look functional.
Great front end design.
Such a "thrust" to the design.
Soft tail fins...
Saturday, December 11, 2021 -- Sunrise... Driving to Pelican Parts Cars & Coffee
405 South, just north of LAX
Very little traffic.
The fast lane is 80+, so staying in the second lane...
Just passing LAX on the right...
Tuesday, December 7, 2021 -- The maple tree in front of the house has lost most of it's leaves
One of the few trees in the neighborhood that change colors...
