Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

I’m a professional pilot, now too old to fly for a scheduled airline. I still fly charters and for recreation. Flying is a great career, usually allowing lots of time off for other endeavors.

Pun wasn’t intended, but I have installed and maintained hundreds of ground water heat pumps over the last 4 decades, almost all open loop using well water.

Cool, I installed my own geo system using closed loop. Really like it.

Used to have a pilot friend , but small planes and he taught glider flying. He took me up and let me fly glider once.

70°F and .24 inches rain, much needed

Went to bed not knowing, and apparently awoke to no news.

Decided to order appliances (stove & refrigerator) from Lowe’s. Online system messed up, refuses to accept my address for delivery, but I could order for store pickup. Was told to order by phone. Took over 21/2 hours to get proper person on phone. Delivery in Dec.

May be a wet morning. If so, good. I could use an inside day.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

My 12 gallon Craftsman wet/dry vac that I've had now for more than 15 years is still a dandy. I have two hoses; one the size you'd normally expect and one big diameter hose if you want to suck up larger stuff; rarely used, but I did use it this past month to pick up acorns and twigs and such in the front yard. I also have two different filters for it; a normal one and an extra fine one, rarely used, but I did use it years ago to clean the ash out of the fireplace. If it ever dies, I don't know what I'd replace it with, but it would be hard to beat.

Since I took the day off to see a doctor...when I get home I might see if I can pair my phone to the tractor's radio/CD player.
I didn't get the manual with the tractor, but I did find it online and downloaded.

Well, circulation in both legs is good...thankfully. My left leg is considerably more muscular then my right...the left left does most of the work, right leg pretty much goes along for the ride. Doc wants me to go to physical therapy to build up strength and muscle mass.

Got the phone (Motorola Moto G7) paired with the tractor's radio...but the app on the phone doesn't connect. Music plays fine through the radio's speakers, but the app should also be able to control the radio/CD player functions. Not super important, but I'd like to see if I can get full functionality.
For a tractor, this (Jensen Heavy Duty) radio and speakers sound pretty good!

64F and sunny ... Ten Day now contains three days with temps at 70F or above ... :thumbsup:

Next thing on agenda for the day will be to get those empty tube feeders refilled with sunflower seeds ... might incorporate some cracked corn in there as well. Might see what other pieces I can start gluing up on the second squirrel feeder, now that the first pieces have dried.

Woman has reported that the birds have located the bird bath and are taking advantage of it. Need to hunt up an extension cord that can be used for it and get it plugged in, along with seeing what I can do to get it more level. Very pleased that it remained secured to the deck rail - even with all the high winds we had the other day.

After that run up and pickup the recycle container from the road and bring it back down to the house, before I remove the carrier bracket from the box blade that I use to pick the cans up.

Probably work on area behind west planting bed, adding new top soil, getting it spread, and getting it seeded.

Then probably repair the berm the UPS guy ran over around the lower catch basin and get it reseeded. Need to add some crusher run right next to area as it seems like there is a spot on the driveway that holds water/puddles.

If I get all that done it will be a good start on what's left to do outside before the weather gets bad.

Local election news: levy for the Akron Zoo passed, Summit County elected it's first ever female sheriff.

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

Trust me, that's great news ... :thumbsup:

You're gonna be stylin' ... :laughing:

Good news Roy, maybe a stationary bike for Christmas?

75˚F Nice day, but missed the park fun because the dentist installed my crown this morning - good to go now.

We have a remote control modelers club that has planes, cars, trains, boats and drones. There is even a remote control airplane runway and flying area.
If I would get a model plane how would this one be for beginners?

Hope you are going to get two of them? You will need to have good mechanical skills for repairs.

Think I'll let my beard grow in for the winter, helps keep me warmer. Comes in white as snow.

Drew, I don't know if you use a mask or not but will the beard screw up the mask?

Chris

Hmmmm, yes I wear a mask all the time when I'm out
good point
Long time ago had to shave my beard off when I was a fireman because I could not get a good seal with the air pac mask.
I don't think my beard hair will act like a HEPA 13 filter...bummer

got my weather station mounted, not on the garage, couldn't get the angle right to clear the gutter and still be level, so looked around to see what else I could use.
Aha, wood picnic bench in middle of lawn worked just fine, out in open so no air blockage and I can just back out the mounting screws if/when I leave.
An old bench not in best shape, no guilt in putting a few holes in it.

picked up Craftsman tool drawer at Lowes this morning, surprised box said 103 pounds, got help putting it in car after folding seats down, but what a chore dragging it into garage.
I really need to get a wheeled mover of some sort, maybe next trip to HF.
