Fired up pellet stove for first time this season. Has that smell after sitting so long.

Looks cozy though ... :thumbsup:

Drew, bet you have one very pleased landlady.

Speaking of which, I saw 50A outlets at Lowe’s. Drew, what is the pin configuration on your generator outlet?

@ buckeye farmer. Those ball valve taps are the best. Should last 30 or 40 years. Had the same problem with leaking taps that hadn't been used for years. As soon as you touch them they start leaking. I just replaced another 2 with ball valves to keep the wife happy. She uses them mostly. Just under $10 each for 3/4" ones. We have 1/2 a dozen around the yard for watering.

Retired folks don't get Xmas bonuses, but with 40 HP it does look like a good solution for the steep terrain here. But if they don't publish a price, the old saying "if you have to ask, you probably can't afford it" most likely applies.

I’d like to have a robot that sprays weeds in the summer, and plows snow in the winter, and maybe grill burgers.

Good evening all. 39F for the start, clear, light breeze. Light wind day, clear morning, slow cloud build in afternoon, and high temp was 63F. no rain in forecast till Friday. Ponds and lakes are down in the area, unusual for this time of the year. Cleaned ashes, stocked the fire and went for a bike ride, delayed ride till 9 to let OAT warm up a bit. 2 hour nap, was tired after riding in the cold. Wife has been getting a few Christmas decoration out each day.
Covid update Cooke 1188 confirmed cases, 142 active cases, Montague 809 confirmed cases, 93 active cases, Grayson 4773 confirmed cases, 365 active cases, local 11 active cases.

Randy that is a lot of water!
Paul neat pics, interesting way to join copper pipe.
Thomas your birds are eating a lot of seed!
Billy thanks for Coco update, glad your water control is working
Kyle .032 is a lot of ring gap. Was that a single ring on a two ring piston? Some of the aftermarket pistons were single ring pistons, especially for racing.
RNG that is a lot of manzanita to loose. I leave about 1/2 inch to 1 inch after clean out. Cleaning lady ok, was having transportation issues because her car died.
Hope the solar hookup gets back on track
Roy hope you find a movie

a wife?

I’m pretty sure she’d tell me that’s not in her job description.

Water is way down, but still a lot standing. Strong winds helped evaporate it. I’m glad it wasn’t snow, I can’t imagine 40” of snow from 10 hour event with the winds, it would have been a genuine blizzard.

Mine sprays weeds, so a keeper.
No snow
I do the grilling.
