My auto insurance, USAA has a discount program (safepilot) that tracks various driving aspects, one being cell phone use. Not exactly perfect as I got dinged 1 time using the Map program. But I’m on track for a 15% discount.
too much overwatch for me. I sometimes "nail it" to pass people.
Thanks, Ken. I seriously wanted to do this when we built the pool initially but various factors dissuaded me. Sophie has confirmed we should do it. She is the primary user. Expensive, but going with the Circupool Core system as it appears it can take advantage of working with just my DC pump (direct solar powered)as well as the 240v pump. 39k gallons I guess will take a lot of salt initially. The pool is self draining but rain provides about 1.5-2 refills per year. Except pumps, all plumbing is pvc. Gonna be a new adventure.
Would there be a problem for overflow of saltwater into your lawn?
Humidity is a problem further South in Texas. We are North Of I35 the humidity is only in the morning and has been mostly around 30% during the hottest part of the day 1-5 PM.
We keep the AC on 77 during the day and 73-74 at night.
Good morning! 73˚F 75% humidity, heading to 105-107˚, it's going to be a scorcher, the outside furnace will be working overtime today. We have 2 alert warnings today, excessive heat and an air quality alert - high ozone.
Humidity here has been abnormally low in the 20's late in the day, thus the high temps.
Good morning! Low of 59°, heading up to 89°. The guessers are predicting a 60% chance of a t-storm. Saw some lightning last night, storm never reached us.....
The addition, as planned, is a "go". Now need to try to plan around any 'weather guesses'..... so far, I don't have any faith in their guesses....
Not going to cut a hole in the house if it's going to rain... wait---- does it rain here?
Today's agenda is to take a ride with the wifey and Max up to Santa Fe. The family has pitched in for our anniversary and and are getting us Meyers Lemon and Mexican Lime trees from a nursery there. We'll stop for lunch somewhere.....
I can't believe that it will be 40 years together this Saturday......
Need to finish watering 2 zones when we get back. Yesterday's irrigation schedule went ok, except for the one zone that I shut off the timer...... then forgot about switching zones. Flooded out 3 planters and some landscape beds into the driveway. Is that considered a "deep watering"?
Everyone have a great day!
Sounds like a sure way to attract rain....opening up a hole in the house. Maybe I should consider it. I'm sure y'all need rain too.
Successful trip to the nursery, lemon and lime trees have a new home.
They got the stock in a couple of weeks ago, only 2 lemon trees were left. Both had a little 'crook' in the trunk about 8" up..... probably why they were left. Wifey always fights for the underdog, so it has "character"..... as the wifey called it.....
It even has a lemon growing on it already.....
They won't survive much of a freeze if it gets below 25 degrees. They say 20, but I'm suspect. My friend lives 25 miles inland from the gulf coast and his lasted for 20 years but died in our big freeze of Feb 2021. I hope yours do well.
Headed south, to work on my mom's a/c in her car. Hope to be able to just put a can of Freon in it to get us past the hump in these hot days.
RNG, good report. Sorry for the DMV bureaucracy.
I had to skip ahead for time saving this morning. sorry if I missed important stuff.
Shop light sitrep. I took down the aged 2 bulb 8 foot fixture. It had a bad ballast. Main problem is I don't like being on my ladder at the peak of my barn maybe 16'? I have 1 fixture that holds 6 T5 bulbs in it already installed maybe 2.5 years ago, with 2 bulbs burned out. I had another "spare" fixture w/bulbs waiting to install. I went ahead and installed it. These bulbs may say 50,000 hours but they are nowhere near that longevity. Now I'm seeing T5's are about $15 each at the box stores, or $5 each if you order qty 25 online. I don't need 25, but if the ballasts hold up, I guess I could use them. T5's are going away, as are most other fluorescent bulbs. They gripe about the tiniest drop of mercury in the bulbs, but don't have a problem injecting it in our bloodstreams.
sorry the Springsteen concert got cancelled.
Glad the hornets are done in.
Prayers for our team, our country and Ukraine.
