Good morning! 74˚ heading to 90 with a chance of a shower this afternoon. I need to list a few pieces of furniture in the neighborhood "book" that just don't fit in. It's like a private craig's list that only your neighbors get to look at in the community center. The garage here has some really nice cabinets installed. The problem is my tools are in boxes on the garage floor and there is too much to do to stop to organize, but I must force my self to get organized like David. My wife is running circles around me on unpacking her 30 boxes and only has 5 more to unpack. I'm thinking of retrieving my racing bike and start putting on the miles now that there is a wide paved road to drive on. There is even a bicycle club I could join once I increase my endurance to mostlygas's.

Drew, sounds like a fun party you are hosting this morning instead of an agriculture labor day, way to go! You must be related to Tom Sawyer, I would even want to join in the fun.

Good afternoon. I've finally caught up on this thread after several days of not touching a laptop and even managed a bit of bench cleaning in between.

Lenny, not sure if anywhere could match the views you had with your old house but that sounds like a great move. Wonder if in years to come your granddaughter will remember that spiral slide you built for her ?

Ed, the PM-1030 v looks a good size, hope you have lots of fun with it.

Kyle, I'm sure you will be an excellent teacher. If you can record the lessons with a camera, count me in with a few others on here for the remote learning class.

Ron, are you saying the best time to clean benches is winter ? I now have almost a whole square foot of free space, so perhaps I should wait a few months before more tidying ...

Could do with a bit of help with my wife's ride on mower. She set off to cut the grass and after a couple of minutes, out billowed a huge plume of white smoke from the exhaust. Oil level is fine. What do you reckon, head gasket ? The engine is a 22Hp B&S Intek 7220 v twin. Any tips gratefully received, I'm not familiar with the internals of these.

I hadn't been rushing to repair it as at the moment she is not doing much at all with her left arm, following a moments lack of attention while trimming the edge off a flan case. Knife went through both pastry and her upturned finger tip, leaving a deep cut that will not tolerate any movement without opening up again. I've been having to help her dress, undress and shower. Although she is much better today, I am more than happy to keep up with this sort of TLC for as long as it takes - especially now our guests have left ;)

Up early waking the chickens I guess, 61 high of 86 today.

Yeah, I beat the chickens getting up this morning myself. A bit before 4 a.m., it was already 80 degrees going for a high today of 96. So I got out the EGO lawnmower and had the lawn mowed before 5:30 a.m. And even though the grass was dry, and we had a slight southerly breeze, I was wringing wet with sweat before I finished mowing.

RNG, Irv and others. Here is a picture of my ATS and other boxes.
Meter is in middle . Power goes from there to 200 amp circuit breaker on right. Power is run through cable at bottom of picture to ATS box on left. Main circuit breaker box for house is inside house behind ATS box. On top of ATS box is the digital meter that has a switch to turn off meter or read both legs of 220. I use this to tell when power from meter is back to normal. Then I can turn circuit breaker back on. Red light on left side top of ATS box is LED status of generator. Inside of house I have 2 Cyber Power surge protector/battery backup for TV and computer. Each on different legs of 220. They will start beeping when there is high or low voltage into house. These are the things that burn up fridges and other appliances. I would like to have this monitored electronically and have switch to generator turned on. I had this on my motorhome. But have not found one big enough for 200 amps.
I also have a WiFi app that monitors watts used. But not voltage.

That is the nice thing about the EGO - you can mow before sunrise without waking your neighbors (for those with neighbors). I'm waiting for my wife to wake up so she can mow the yard with the EGO while I trim.

If you do not have time to get it cleared now. You could get started on it this winter. Then learning process starts. Project not done until bench is cleaned. :D
