Good morning!!!!

[PJSprog]

72°F and rain this morning, then more rain all day. Wait ... "rain" isn't really accurate. Deluge is a better word. We got 3.5" of it here today. Lots of flooding everywhere. Lots of water rescues everywhere, because even after thousands of years of learning, some still haven't retained the knowledge that driving into moving water is a bad idea. A dam broke over in Nashville IL, and they had to evacuate the town. Haven't seen that much rain at once since the flood of 1993.

The original forecast was for scattered showers in the early morning. "Missed it by THAT much."

On the bright side, it only got up to 85° today, which is 10° cooler than the previous few days.

While I was asleep at 01:40 this morning, someone in Ca Mau Vietnam was figuring out how to reset my password and change everything on my LinkedIn account. Great. They certainly seem to make it easier to do that than it is to recover the hacked account. Been wondering for several years why I still have it, as I rarely ever use it. Once I get back control of it, it will be deleted.

I somehow got logged out of my Google (YouTube) account last weekend, and it took three days to get back into that.

This technology stuff is too much work.

Hope everyone is well.

Good evening, gents.

Oh, and L4N, I'm reminded of an adage; "You only need a licence if you're caught."

I went down that road about 56 years ago. Co$t me two nights in the can and an additional 6 months suspension. No thanks. I will do it the legal way or not at all.

Understand this, in the link the measurements they talk of are in metric. 50 mm=5 centimeters. There are 2.54 centimeters in one inch. You do the math.

I think weather underground is also over rated. I'll be shopping for a new weather site when I move the Davis weather station down here. What are you folks using?

I still have both of my weather stations, a Davis and a Tempest upload to weather underground, but I view the data using “PWS Monitor” app. I also use the Tempest app, and “My Radar Pro” for storm tracking. I also have some aviation specific apps and use aviationweather.gov

Made it home safe and sound went thru several good thunderstorms

Coffee is done brewing. 66° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 79° with partly cloudy skies. Got flail mower put on tractor. Changed front tires on the 2 tractors. Titan tires grab into grass and cause grass to pull out of ground. Carlyle Muti-track tires do not do this. Took tractor and did 2 runs on field. Grass/weeds were to wet to do the cutting. Sassy grooming went good. I am sure she will be much cooler with shorter hair. Physical Therapy went good. Foot already feels better this morning. When things dry up today will start cutting fields.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

Yes, upper arm gives a better reading, more accurate.

I use my wrist BP reader most of the time. If I get an out of normal reading. Then I use upper arm BP reader. I ordered same one Sodamo ordered. Hoping it will be more convenient to use like the cuff reader.

 

[ronjhall]

Got a couple of items from Amazon Prime days. A Shark cordless vacuum and Apple Series 9 watch. Both were delivered before 9am yesterday. My old Apple Watch Series 6 has taken a beating over the last 4 years.
BP reader I ordered should be delivered early this morning.
Edit: Whoops tomorrow morning.

good morning all
73 going up to 94 today and likely more showers
rain gauge shows about half an inch

heading out early to have breakfast with a friend at Peddlers Village nearby
then no plans other than house work

I looked for converter in the rv and could not find it. The thing under the bed is not a converter but
rather a transfer switch and fuse box. Apparently the converter is hidden behind a false panel underneath the sink.
now the question is do I need a spare...probably not

on my older Bertram boat, all the wiring was in perfect straight lines, all organized, supported and heavy duty.
Rv wiring is a bird's nest, speed won out over neatness.

a good gift for someone with an rv is a large tube of Loctite. Everything vibrates loose.
