Good morning!!!!

[RedNeckGeek]

RNG, I hope you get a big check in the mail. Really.
PG&E: California power firm to pay $13.5bn to wildfire victims - BBC News
I hope you'll show us a picture of that fire truck running and pumping.
a drone video would be nice...
just remember the all important tank to pump valve,
or you'll be sucking air forever.
I would give those handles some extra color so you don't have to think in an
emergency.

I dunno how they arrived at that figure, as the deadline for filing claims against PG&E is December 31. It's almost like they don't care what the losses are, or what happens to the people that aren't compensated. No way to run a railroad, but that's how they got into this mess to begin with.

Here you go, Drew:

29 right now...high in the low 40's today with rain all day.
I have a customer audit today, so I expect it to be a long day...

Thank you all for the thoughts prayers I will pass them on.
BEF hope your first day back is an easy one.
My GMC is a month old and already has a seat belt recall, they can start a fire.
Drew agree that many people over drive using high beams and don't turn them off for on coming traffic. The new truck has automatic high beams, as traffic approaches or when you drive on a well lit road they go off and then will go back on when you drive into a dark area with no on coming traffic or a vehicle in front of you. I found this option by accident, was driving down a dark road and high beams went on. Worse than high beams coming at you are drivers who don't think they need lights at night.

We accidentally discovered this feature on the Ridgeline. Wife found it somewhat annoying. I’m not sure yet. Truth is, we don’t drive alot after dark anymore.

I often override auto high beam control, on both truck and car, because oncoming car is coming around a corner, lights aren't detected yet
by my sensors, but I can sure see the car coming so I dim the lights manually. Our eyes and brain will, for the forseeable future, always be better than
radar, except perhaps at night.

RNG, thanks for video, I couldn't tell, is that a booster line (1 inch) or a regular 1.5 inch line? What psi are you running?
Booster lines are usually on a reel and a lot easier to handle but
won't flow the same amount of water of course. I think it's great you have this capability and sure hope you get a big credit on your homeowners insurance

49 going to 67, part of big wet heat wave from South pushing up. Mid seventies tomorrow.
Rain has stopped, about 1.5 inches overnight.

off to Ram dealer to waste another morning. Charging up my Kindle in preparation.

Ramman, nice to have you aboard. Is your online name because you own a Ram truck?
No, no noodle jokes...

y'all have a good day

Good morning. 48 now, supposed to get to 55. And rain all day. Temperature is to start dropping tonight as a cold front come through.

Got to get moving. Have MSHA Part 48 refresher training today. That will be 9+ boring hours. I will try to act alert.

Everyone have a safe and good day!

41 going to 56 and more rain.

We got most of our outdoor chores done yesterday in anticipation of the rain. We also found a Christmas tree to cut that we had overlooked on our first search. It's in the house now...always like to have them with us for one day with no lights or decorations, just enjoy the natural look and shape. Each tree is so different.

Hope everyone gets a great start to the week.

Good morning,
temp is 34 and going to a high of 37 °F. Wind SSE 8 mph. Rain.
We are right on the dividing line between rain and snow for this Colorado clipper.
Tomorrow is eye Dr. at 8:40 A.M., I have my driver lined up IF he doesn't bail on me due to the weather.

Another energy conservation day after I check out the genny and make sure it is full of fuel and oil.

Have a good day all

The only car I've owned with the automatic feature was my 1955 Cadillac Coupe DeVille.:laughing:

 

[ronjhall]

Need to pour first cup of coffee. 46° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 49° with rain most of the day. Did closet cleaning yesterday. Need to haul the bags out to trash barrel today. No other plans.

RNG, thanks for the video.

Drew, good luck with dealer.

Rich, 9 hours of classes. Never liked them. Especially when I was the one giving class.

DABSGT, sad news about friend. Prayers for family and friends.

David, I need to check and see if my Captiva has auto dimmer. Took me 2 years to figure out why wiper delay did not work all the time. Car has auto wipers. That only wipes when windshield needs wiping. :confused2:

Good Morning All.
