Good morning!!!!

[KilroyJC]

too much overwatch for me. I sometimes "nail it" to pass people.


Would there be a problem for overflow of saltwater into your lawn?


Humidity here has been abnormally low in the 20's late in the day, thus the high temps.


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.

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.

Sometimes not driving fast enough is what causes an accident…

Congrats on GS scores, Ted. Maybe take after Granddad

No, took after his daddy..... he's far surpassed my degree, he's the mechanical engineer.

For you hot ones, WV recorded below freezing last night

Why do you have to rub it in?

 

[KilroyJC]

KJC, maybe consider replacing with the L handle vs knob we used them exclusively in this house, no regrets.

Going to do them all with handles vs knobs, just one at a time. Replaced the first one today, the old knob was old enough that the old cylinder did not fit in the new lock, so I had to carefully disassemble the cylinder and transfer all the key pins into the new lock cylinder. Not difficult, just small, meticulous work.

Coffee is brewing. 55° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 88° with lots of sun. Got fence post pulled for neighbor. Some of the 4X4 post were in ground 4'. At least they were not in cement. Also got most the mud power washed off Mule. Some pond maintainace this morning. Then stay out of the heat in afternoon. Some NASCAR inside where it is cooler.

LS, congratulations on GS test scores.

Buppies, hope all test come back negative. Get well soon.

Prayers and best wishes for everyone.

Good Morning All.

Morning all!
Currently 57 going to a beautiful sunny 82.
Clouds finally parted long enough that I got the deck repair finished! All that's left is some paint and landscape work that she will do herself.

A local resident had a large apple tree branch fall and offered it up on facebook to anyone that wanted it. I ran down and grabbed 12 good sized pieces. As a thank you I turned two bowls out of the driest chunks and will give them to him as thanks.

I also played with some more of the walnut I got a few weeks ago. (all this rain has me indoors so might as well stay busy)

Health wise no changes! Happy with that!
Need to get out and see if I can mow the to damp ground. Maybe let it dry today and head out tomorrow.
No more big projects on the agenda till fall!
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!
