You pulling a one ton utility trailer Ron?

Max load is 1500 lbs with my car. Even that amount needs lights in Michigan. I have a 4x8 utility trailer that fits that limit.

I'll be installing a 22 kW whole house propane fired generator with the solar panels. That ought'a do it.

The cooling trend starting tomorrow doesn't look like it's going away anytime soon, either. That means I can just leave the A/C off.:thumbsup:

Good deal. That should be plenty. Will it be inverter style? On the solar, How many panels? rough wattage?

98F here. I love the film on every window and windshield on the Stinger. It is much cooler. The car was sitting in the sun for 30 minutes today, it has a black interior, and I did not feel the need to open the windows when I got in. The black dash was in full sunlight and was very warm to the touch but not burning hot like my other vehicles. I also squint less in the bright sunlight.

Thanks for the reply. I remember back in the early '90's, my friend's dad's airplane had separate windshields for the pilot, and co-pilot. He needed a new one for one side. It was $25,000 with all the coatings and electric heating.

80 today. Currently 68. Heat comes back this weekend. Rain went south of us. We are dry and have had burn bans for a week now. Drought monitor shows us in a moderate drought.

Half of chickens come tomorrow and then finish Monday. Ready for tomorrow’s birds. Then worked on fences that land clearing project tore up. Like about an hour and will be able to move cows. 9 calves are on the ground 5 more expected.

Rng. My experience with 240 and the situation you described is one leg is broken but the gap is close enough for enough power to bleed through to make a meter read it. But when you load it then there’s nothing. Trick is to find the break. Is the problem only with the meter? It sounded like it was running appliances fine.

Good to see everyone healing. Think Toppop might need some medication control or supervision.

New garage door opener works. Turns out the 2 openers use different opener technology.

Had next to last home PT today. They spend more time typing notes than actually working with me. She wanted to see if i could get in the car. i practically walked out, and got in the normal way, feet first. Then went for a walk thru the yard, and up 3 steps to porch.
Then i showed her i could walk up the steps.

What i cant do is do these things very long. I tire out. I explained i still have nerve pain, etc.

Installed light kit for my first garage door opener. Ive had it 7yrs. Installed on wall, cant get to ceiling. Now need to find if 2nd opener had a light kit, thought it did, but couldnt find it.

Looked on my amazon order, 2nd opener has light kit also. Detective work to find it and the remote.

Found it, last place i looked....

Want to remove wheelchair ramp before winter, so i can use that side of garage.

Checking IN:

Drew- Grate news

David- Your concrete guy and you did a really nice (and neat) job.

BEF- Great report.

I went to the GI people as planned. No surprises there excepting their "minimizing" the precancerous cell threat. Blood-O2 saturation = 95% which for me is decent considering 10% lung scarring.

Randy's "snake eyes" comment got me thinking about all the "snake eyes" that I've already rolled and survived so I went to an Urgent Care Center. (Randy, thanks for your motivational post.) I was right about "shaking" the bronchitis, but wrong about where it went. In typical fashion for me it quickly went from headcold to one of my lung's lower lobes and apparently morphed to pneumonia. My Blood-O2 Sat on their machine = 97%. X rays were taken for confirmation and also to create a "base point" (just in case). In theory I should not have a BOOP re-flare; we'll see. I am back on Prednisone and have a taper schedule set from 40mg daily, have.a fresh rescue inhaler ($45 copay), and a azithromycin 500mg "Z-Pack." To kill time between office visits and getting our pharmacy to process the medication prescriptions we went to a decent Indian Restaurant for their $9.00 "all you can eat" buffet. Those warming spices really helped. I spent the rest of the afternoon sleeping & sweating. The Prednisone is kicking in

This may not bode well for some bigoted, ignorant TBN poster who (a good thing) "energized" me early this AM. Now I need to decide whether or not to continue watching a fairly decent (so far) Thursday Night Football game (fun) or deal with some ignorant @r$eh*le. I could flag his post with a moderators as un-acceptable and take the cowardly (anonymous) easy path, but that's not who I am and for which what I stand. It will be interesting to see how is post was received and/or responded to (or probably not). I have not checked yet. I need to determine if it is worth the time & energy. We'll see.

It's going to be a long night.

Duplicated post.

Fingers getting shaky.

The offending thread died a natural death following that post. I'll let the dead rest and enjoy a decent foottball game.

I hope that everyone has a decent evening and a decent day tomorrow.

My + thoughts and prayers.

Good evening! It's 78° here ... going down to 74°.

My horse and I just returned from a week, in the Texas Hill Country, at our annual Trail Ride. It was hot all week, 90-91° every day. Normally we have low 80's down to 60's at night. The best part was no internet, no cell phone all week.

Now ...... I have to catch up with a week of Good Morning, put everything away, and clean up our horse trailer. My horse was soooo glad to be home in his own pasture and stall.

Hope everyone is healing up and no GM team members, have gone out of the game, over the last week.

Prayers to all.

Sounds like a great trip. Where is the texas hill country?

Good evening all. 76F for the start, partly cloudy, near calm wind. Wind out of the north early, blustery, then back out of the south more sedately. Looked like rain in area early on, then more settled sky and high temp 92F HI 99. Forecast is to cool a little more before next weeks cold front. Went kayak fishing with stepdaughter's boyfriend this morning, few light strikes and 1 tree bass:ashamed: This afternoon most notable accomplishment was a 2 hour nap. Had a friend come in tonight, he and his wife are going on a cruse for their 50TH wedding anniversary, and stopped in on the way down.
Eric the bike shop warned me today it will likely take a month to get the guy to do it :confused2: However, he may be able to reinforce the area, the bike shop will get me a longer seat post which will help.
RNG sorry about your sound deadening panels de-laminating, PG & E are not more customer oriented.
David rotary cutter looking good.
Drew, wow 500 bucks to drive tractor of-site.
Kyle, anything for aircraft needs a TSO number, and those cost. Even alternators which come off the same assembly line cost several times the same alternator for the car. TSO numbers do insure better traceability if there is a problem batch of parts.
prayers for all
