Reminds me I have to get my two 30 pound propane tanks filled and my two five gallon gas tanks filled, have been putting it off since I still haven't found any E0 around

Found this map up at the RealGas website, Drew. Had this place on it with E0 Sunoco:

Self Heating & Cooling
219 Keith Valley Rd, Horsham, PA; 267-803-4840; ethanol-free SUNOCO 95 98 112

Looks to be about 30 miles away from you, but call first to make sure they're still there.

Then there's this place in New Jersey, a little closer to you, but only have 100 octane av gas:
Raritan Valley Flying Service
41 Airpark Rd, Princeton, NJ; 609-921-3100; ethanol-free UNBRANDED 100

Good Luck!

33F and partly sunny @ 09:30, supposedly headed up to a high of 44F.

Ground is mostly white, got a good bit of snow overnight ... will probably be gone by this afternoon.

Today is the first day of what the Ten Day forecast claims will be an 8 day period of no precipitation and warmer temps ... so the big push to get outdoor winter prep completed will be on.

Got perch board glued, screwed, and clamped on the bottom of one squirrel feeder last night ... hopefully get that one finished up today.

Have more boards to cut on the songbird roost boxes, along with the clear front panels for the squirrel feeders. Need to locate the 3/4 x 3/4

Got a couple of cheap 32 gallon trash cans from Menards to use as containers for the critter food, need to haul those down to the basement and get the food put in them. Still waiting on the 10 gallon containers to come in.

Locate extension cord for bird bath and get that plugged in.

Birds all out there this morning ... but feeders need refilled ... so it's pretty slim pickins until I do that.

More clean/straighten up in the basement.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, and safe day ... :thumbsup:

Took easy route and put it on the deck corner post for now. Too close to house, but it is what it is, better than sitting in garage.

Great idea ... knew there had to be a good use I could put that old mount to ... :laughing:

Next hard decision of the day, where to pick up supper. I want a good pizza, and there just isn稚 any around that I consider great pizza. And by the time I bring one home it痴 cold.

I had a DiGiorno Thin Crust Supreme the other day ... cannot recommend ... although maybe I overcooked it ... :confused3:

Really miss those Jeno's ...

25°F and clear skies this morning, going up to 57° today. Looks like we're in for sunny days around 70° through next weekend. Not bad at all for November.

Knocked a bunch of things off the honey-do list on Saturday, then spent some time in the evening tweaking the new guitar. Put on some fresh strings, adjusted the pickups (distance from strings), adjusted the string height from the neck, adjusted the individual string intonation at the bridge, and now it's playing very nice. Pleased with the outcome of that work. Then, I stayed up too late playing it ... again.

Printed off the sample ballot for our precinct yesterday so The Wife and I could take a good hard look at the candidates. Went down the entire ballot front and back and did internet searches for each candidate to find out about them. Not many surprises found, as most of the advertising we've been hearing and seeing has been deliberately misleading, on both sides. One of the judicial races here has been exceptionally ugly. I'd like to tell them both to take a walk. Wife went to the court house in Carlyle this morning to cast her early vote. Said she was in and out in 15 minutes. I'll go tomorrow morning on my way to work and vote at the regular polling place in town. I, too, will be glad when this mess is over.

Stayed up too late again last night watching a couple of movies with The Wife. We watched the two Cate Blanchett movies about Elizabeth I. We'd seen one of them before. Good movies.

Kyle, that GT80 looks just like the TY80 (Trial 80) a neighbor had when I was growing up back in the '70s. It was the bike I learned to ride on. Fun little bike.
My memories of ozone smell are from those transformers that came with model electric train sets.

Sorry you lost your trip, RNG, but glad you recognized the potential problem before it left you stranded.
I have moved enough times in the last 30 years that I think I finally outmaneuvered JC Whitney. Haven't seen one of their catalogs in years.

Solid state memory capacity can be a troublesome thing, LS. I've run into it with every iThingie I've owned. As RNG pointed out, not everything gets deleted completely, and digital remnants remain that clog up the memory capacity. It's ridiculous the way SSD was designed to write and re-write in partitions, sometimes skipping entire sections just because of a remnant from some deleted data. You may have plenty of capacity, but your device sees it as occupied and unavailable to write new data there. There's a trade-off in everything, I suppose.

Good morning all,36 going up to 44, windy , very
Friday, flashlight bounced off house from hunter in back neighbors yard, getting frustrated. May call warden....Wonder if he is why I have found 2 deer carcasses in the general area over the last few years, maybe needs glasses?
Got leaves moved over Saturday and kid went trick or treating with friends, glad he didn;t have to miss that.

70°F and no rain

Yesterday’s birthday was a welcome break. Just 8 people, outside, good food.

Back to project this morning. Trip to PO also.

Zoom Happy Hour this afternoon.

Makani had his first night without being crated. I think he passed, no surprises found so far.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Good morning to all! ?? The low temp... dogs are still on standard time and got me up way too early, considering I stayed up way past bedtime last night watching a show on PBS called 'COBRA'.... an interesting production relating to anarchy in Great Britain after a massive solar flare striking the earth. Anyway... put the dogs out / in and went back to bed for a couple hours....

We lost internet yesterday shortly after posting in the morning.... it was down until around 8 last night. I wonder if we will get a credit on the bill.... I won't hold my breath waiting.... The good news is after going through the wifey's IPAD meticulously adjusting, deleting, and setting preferences, I got the glitch fixed. It's back to having around 60% memory left. It was odd that it didn't correct until after the internet came back on.... I am wondering if there was a 'clog' getting stuff deleted due to an internet problem.... sounds weird, but I guess possible.

RNG, B&H photo was one of the first places I looked for a new IPad. They were $35 higher than what I could get locally though. Since I got her's working again, we are going to hold off getting a new one for a little bit.... at least until it gets messed up again....

Neat hearing about all the squirrel / wildlife stories. My nephew found a baby squirrel in the grass under a tree after a windstorm a few years ago. It was only days old. They fed him with a dropper and got him to survive. They kept him as a pet for his daughter, being he had no 'wild' experience. He made a pseudo den for the little critter, the squirrel would come and greet them when they came in, it would sleep curled up in her lap whenever possible. He described it as acting like a cross between a cat, ferret, gerbil, and a dog. They had him for about 6 years.

I did get some shop time in yesterday. The homemade dust collector system works better than expected, at least on its first trial. Today will be its big test.... I will get some pics of the contraption.

Rip, sorry to hear about the 'off level' porch situation.... there is some play in vinyl siding, allowing to "stretch" each run up maybe 1/8", and loosely attach the opposite side of the run, dropping it maybe an 1/8". Essentially making it level over a few courses / runs. A bit time consuming, but maybe an option?
I hope you can find a simple easy solution.

Everyone have a great day!

Drew, hope you have a great Dr visit.
You sure are turning that place into your home 🤙

Cold and windy, two of my least favorite conditions, Dennis. Add wet and you nailed it.

Like that moon pic, Ron, especially the clear to cloudy transition.
