I left the office late this evening, so I had to do a drive-by of the clouds and contrails at sunset. While I was sitting behind a dually at the light, I noticed the Devil staring at me through the tailgate. He was using the holes my headlights made reflecting in the tailgate to see what was going on. Satin is a shifty little devil when it comes to shapes and reflections.
I was late because we replaced 55 fluorescent fixtures on our tenant’s side of the building with 55 LED fixtures. It was quite an undertaking, and I can feel rigor mortis settling in trying to stiffen up my joints. I’ll be contorted and stiff by morning like when Silver gets a case of Cater-Mortis.


Drive-by of clouds and contrails at sunset.
Oh he’s watching, alright!
Excellent capture!
Thanks, Dale. Do you still have snow?
Oh yes! Not a whole helluva lot but it’s been so damn cold, no way would it melt.
Stay warm.
Doing my best! The cold snap has finally broken. For now.
That’s good.
Today is such a colourless day. The sky a uniform pale grey. Ugh.
Listen to the Grateful Dead’s “A Touch of Grey”. It might help take the “Ugh” out of the grey.
🙂
That’s a good ‘un 🙂
Yikes! Hurry up and turn green, light! The sky is certainly more pleasant to look at.
It certainly is. We saw a dually low rider the other day. It was the weirdest looking thing. Thanks, Michele.
I love pictures taken at sunset or sunrise of vehicles. They are so creepy. I have a few too, but they aren’t as good as yours. I hope your stiffness isn’t bad today.
Thanks, Roberta.
Wow, always good to be on the lookout. Changing all those lights reminds me of this summer when we cleaned out our storage area. I could also feel a sore morning was coming, and, indeed it did come. Take care with that, Tim. Sky pic is stunning. The pink is glorious.
Thanks, Jeff. Manual labor = stiff and sore more easily these days,
You’re welcome, Tim. Yep, that’s the truth.
I’ve suspected for years that the devil lives in GMC vehicles…that’s why I drive a Ford.
That is one awesome, contrail, Tim.
Government Motors Controlled these days. My pickup is a Ford. Thanks, KT.
The main reason I buy Fords is that they didn’t take the offer of a government bailout years ago. Also, all Fords I’ve owned in my life have been good vehicles.No more GMCs for me.
I’ve only had old classic Chevys. Ford did good to not take the government bait.
Now you spotted him, he’s exposed, so all good! 😉🤣
Treat your back with some rest!
Amazing contrails!
Thanks, Marina.
Clouds like red jets. Amazing.
Thanks, Shey.
Very scary post. Glad I did read it this morning and I don’t have to go to bed… 😉
That thing, without the Devil is enough to give you nightmares. Thanks, Herman, Happy you saw it when you could have espresso and chocolate to drive out any demons.
Oh yes, a combination of espressos and chocolate can beat almost everything!
They are a good combo to cure what ails you.
We usually call them tow trucks, first time I hear the name dually.
The devil is definitely in all the deatails.
I hope your joints are alright now.
I love the photos of the dually,
Illustrated they could make a great feature or character in an animated movie.
Wow I’ve never seen a sunset sky like that before, besides in photography collections like yours.
Great stuff.
Thanks, abvr. The duallies are used to pull horse trails and other heavy loads. But a lot of people drive them all the time out here.
You welcome Timothy.
I would be lying if i say i see them alot, but the tow truck specific for picking up smashed vehicles yes. We have so much road accidents so they sit in waiting on the highway and national roads. Maybe they not duallies, just tow trucks.
“Dually” genreally refers to the dual rear tires on consumer pickup trucks. Our tow trucks are very large and often have two sets of dually tires. You have to call for a tow truck here. They don’t wait around for crashes.
It’s just a given that these tow trucks sit on our highway because it is business for them. The centre is usually called, and whoever is there first, get the business.
You’re a hard worker, Timothy! As well as very creative.
Thanks, Dawn.
That is a lot of LED fixtures, Tim. No wonder you are sore. Epsom salts in warm water might help the hands.
Those clouds made an interesting formation., and that is one big truck!
Thanks, Lavinia.
Busy man, slow down!! The devil wouldn’t dare confront you! 😻
They don’t call me the “Timinator” for nothing. Thanks, Holly.
In the sky I see a language I cannot read, but similar to the lines of Chinese & Japanese.
It did have skyline character. It was probably some cryptic message. Thanks, Frank.
The devil seems to pop up in all kinds of places these days!
He’s having a grand old time in this messed up world. Thanks, Tiffany.
What a glorious sky!!
Thanks, Rebecca.
Haha! That really is devilish looking, Tim. Those clouds are a good match for it. Hugs on the wing!
Thanks, Teagan.
Kinda see it, kinda don’t. Maybe it’s because I spent part of my afternoon at the dealership getting my brake light bulbs replaced. I would do it, but carmakers have made replacing the easy stuff so darn hard. Plus, you have to reset the warning indicator on the dash.
Replacing all those fluorescent fixtures would have anyone stiff and sore, particularly the neck and the fingers. Helping Megan move has been hard my hands, especially on the fingertips. She’s letting set up her house while she’s away in training. Talk about trust, lol.
I changed a headlight bulb on a 2006 Mazda once. That ended up being a major deal involving watching several YouTube videos on how to do it. I’ve had the deanship change bulbs ever since.
You are a brave man to set up a woman’s house.
Hope you had a restful night after the devil had it’s way with you. At least the night sky was amazing Timothy! 💖👏
No rest for the weary. Thanks, Cindy.
Rest up my friend!💖
The devil “drove” down to Georgia!
In is dually, nonetheless. Thanks, Brian.
