The forecast for the winds picking up changed to later and not quite as strong. May bypass the metro area but I'm not counting on it. Winds were supposed to have picked up by now originally and hot up to 60 mph. Then it changed to later and 50 mph. No winds yet.
Got out and anchored down the solarium a bit better. I think it should stand up to things now.
It's been raining a bit last couple of days. One problem was the slack in the plastic sheeting wasn't tight enough, so it gathered water. Had to keep going out and lifting the sheeting to drain the water off. It's tighter now and, while it has been raining, hasn't gathered any water.
Been having a strong feeling that I needed to rent a car this weekend, rather than drive the truck. Hard to do with a debit card. I did manage to reserve one but going to call and confirm things tomorrow to make sure. Some issues are questionable. They had some requirement about having a round trip airline ticket which I have to ask about. If the car fails, I'll rent a UHaul truck if one is available. I just don't want to go against my intuition when it's this strong.
Cleaned the cylinder heads, intake manifold and exhaust manifolds last night. Used the drill and a brush attachment, which did an awesome job! Mating surfaces are pretty well polished and no carbon buildup left. The cleaner they are, the better the seal you achieve. Still have to do the same with the engine block mating surfaces but not while it's raining.
Picking up another 2 hours extra tomorrow morning. That makes 6 hours of OT this week. Means a little extra money for the holidays.
Right now, need some sleep.
