Good evening all. 74F this morning, cloudy, windy. Winds gusty most of the day, mostly cloudy to overcast all day high temp 88F HI 96. Choir practice to start day, the sand burr removal, and lawn mowing. Nap after shower. More sand burr removal needed and also need to put down pre-emergent to slow the weeds down.
Buckeye, sorry about pain, wife came in when she heard me laugh when i loaded the pic :laughing:
Roy sorry about your jaw, still praying.
Randy, hope it works out for you.
Thomas, one of the kitties is doing a pack rat imitation?
Don interesting color for the truck, have not seen that one around here.
Check, seems like way too early for boat removal. Nice color.
PJ it has stayed warm in STL I see. nice too get the dock done before noon.
Happy anniversary David and Sophie, just remember she helped you recover the tractor the other off the slope
Jay good to hear more progress, I wonder if the FP tends to spill over into other threads, the nastiness needs to stay there.
prayers for all

The company wanting to put the disposal waste well site next to my Mom's is running into some difficulty. I got a letter from the Railroad Commission, because I'm on the protestor list, that they will have to re-file their application because of 12 errors. Because of this the 15 day window to file a protest has opened up again and more people in the area can file a written protest. I think this is the first disposal well for this company - they just formed in April and labeled this as Well #1. I have a low confidence that they will be in an economic position to clean up any accidents on the site.

Thanks for posting about this. I hope you can foul them up enough to stop them. Please keep us posted. Why is it that almost nobody posts about what they end up getting out of pipeline easements? Is there a confidentiality clause?

First cup if coffee, 56°F, maybe getting close to 70° today.

The leaves are near their peak, but I don’t think quite there yet.

Time to take the boat out, I am afraid.

Very nice. Bring your boat down here and enjoy it another month (or more). Hottest September on record. But you watch, it will go from record heat to freezing in day or 2, robbing us of fall. We have 2 seasons here, summer and Christmas.

You win the imagination award for today's posts, Eric. :laughing: One thing I learned yesterday was that wet lead acid batteries give off hydrogen when they're being charged, so it's important to locate them in a well ventilated area that is free of sparks. The sealed AGM batteries that have been specified for the system here don't seem to have that problem, though, so colocating them with the generator might still be possible. Originally they were going to go in the pump house, and I think the electric motor in there would raise a similar concern.:shocked: More homework needed.

RNG, We have many battery scientists at work. Many say to try to stay away from battery backup, unless you are totally off grid. Just not cost effective....but if you do, remember I have a Yanmar L10 10hp 28volt DC generator in my barn, just waiting for a special person like you. Supposedly, It monitors the batteries and starts automatically to charge them. It uses the same batteries for starter power. These are great little engines, but don't confuse them for the Chinese knockoffs.

Today is Sophie’s and mine 36th anniversary. Not quite up there with some of you guys and not always peaches and cream, but I sure am blessed.

Town later to HD, brewery, Happy Hour with friends otherwise not sure what the day will yield.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Dave and Sophie, Happy Anniversary. When one has a wife that can have a good, fun time at the brewery every now and then, it most probably is a match made in Heaven.

Hot here. HVAC still running hard at 9:30 pm. I should go boating.

Sometimes there is a confidentiality clause in a pipeline agreement.

A pipeline has power granted by the state to take the land with reasonable compensation. Eminent Domain.

This disposal well does not have Eminent Domain, the property owner voluntarily agrees to the lease or it will not happen. In this case the property owner did agree. The drilling company is requesting a permit for 20,000 to 30,000 barrels A DAY to inject the oil, gas and saltwater waste into the ground about 200' from my mom's property. Unverified rumors say the property owner usually gets 5 cents a barrel. The disposal well site does not have any size requirements, so a piece of land just big enough for the rig is all that is needed.

So your mom has a neighbor that would do this? Only 200' away?

I would build a pig farm upwind of their home. With a motocross track too. Mufflers not allowed.

J, glad to hear you're feeling ok.

Prayers. And for our team too.

The neighbor inherited the land and does not live there, they live in a different county.
