Date plants or ok up to 20˚.

Don't know what is on the tape, the cord is brittle and falling apart. Might have to wrap it in electrical tape.
Just open it up and replace it - if the inner insulation is too cracked, you will let the blue smoke out…

Good morning!

God has given us another chance to get it right (or at least not screw up too badly)…

64F going to mid-80s, partly/mostly cloudy.

Today is admin day, errands in town. I need to pick up a pail of Type 46 hydro fluid, so I can top off the excavator. When I get into thick undergrowth that needs vigorous clearing, it seems I manage so whack the thumb hose and loosen it and cause a leak. It adds up…

Also doing an item return to walmart of an online purchase. It is very convenient that you can choose to return to a store instead of having to ship back. I had made a commode up at the woodlot for Mrs (and me, too, but I could survive without one if need be, but it is nice to have a touch of civilization 😂🤣) and bought a camping shower privacy tent for it. After a year of UV (and an errant branch from the tree removal several weeks back) it had become a little “ventilated”… I found online a similar unit on sale, it was through Walmart, it was half the price of the original, so i bought two. Good thing, because when I went to set one up, it was missing the door. As in four solid sides, the only way in or out was to lift it over your head. The second one was just fine. I guess some poor bastid in China got a little groggy at the end of his 20-hour shift…

otherwise, nothing much to report.

I hope everyone has a happy healthy safe productive blessed day!

Drew, did you drink Red Wine instead of coffee.
no, it was a white, don't think it's the tannins
I used to be able to drink four glasses of wine, assuming I wasn't driving home.
now two glasses max, and often it upsets my stomach.
I never drink at home, so look forward to a glass of wine out.
Not so much anymore.

finished cup of coffee and feel much better.

heat advisory posted for heat index in triple digits.

Good Morning!!!! 62F @ 4:00AM. Sunny. High 89F. Winds light and variable.

Finished the tire swap/brake inspection/bearing repack on the trailer yesterday, and noticed there are no tie down anchors on the floor inside. Found some that'll do on Amazon, but they seem like overkill in both size and requiring 1/2" bolts to install. So more looking is in order. Also noticed there were no wheel weights used when the old tires were mounted. This new set needed anywhere between a half ounce to two and a half ounces. There were also no caps on the valve stems. I guess if you can't see 'em you don't miss 'em?

Played plumber for the rest of the afternoon, replacing ball cocks, flush valves, and flappers on the toilets here. The old ball cocks were frozen, the rest was preventive maintenance to keep things on track during next year's escrow.

Found space for a few more small things in the van, but now I wonder where I'll put the new microwave/range hood that's supposed to show up today. Speaking of which, they promised a four hour delivery window, and this morning's email said it's smack dab in the middle of the day. And I still need to make a town run before tomorrow's trip south.

Hope everyone's week gets off to a great start!

Good Morning Guys,
62 to start going to 90 or so with humidity you can cut with a knife !😩
used to be able to drink four glasses of wine, assuming I wasn't driving home.
Drew, same way here, I can’t drink anywhere near what I was able to drink years ago ! Also cant drink beer later at night or it keeps me up in the middle of the night ! 😉
Usually stick to a glass of white Sauvignon Blanc if going out to dinner or to be sociable with company !
Hoping the developing storm in the Atlantic doesn’t make its way to the US !
Here is a shot of our humidity ! We are not used to this kind of heat ! Whatever needs to be done, needs to be done early !

All have a blessed and safe day !
