Hi Greg!

Bill, sleeping during the day is remarkably relaxing and restful. Especially after a good NIGHT sleep. 😆

Shitty evening in the neighborhood. This is facing north, I'm 3 houses farther north, 4 east. Neighbor friend texted me a house behind him was on fire. Could see smoke from my house, walked out to the mailbox and could see two upstairs windows in it from there, fire trucks were getting there by then. Saw big flames blow out the windows I could see, few minutes later the firemen had the flames beat down pretty good and then something exploded with a big thump and it really caught fire for a while, could hear parts of the house falling. Another neighbor got this photo from a friend in a closer house, must have been early, flames were bigger when I saw it, also said the family got out ok. Looks like they're going to lose everything. I've seen a couple house fires before, never saw one go this fast, I'd say the house was destroyed in about 20 minutes. Going to take more than a vaccine to get these folk's lives get back anywhere near normal.

Insurance gets you back under a roof, but there are so many things in most people's homes they can't replace easily, if at all. But yes, I hope they do too, this is a really bad year to get a big financial loss.

pulling the engine tomorrow or Saturday. Only major piece left to get is the rear axle, which will be around New Year's. Get the floors installed and throw it together

Evening Woods.

House fires suck. Hope no one was hurt.

So long as you're breathing, you can replace the rest
