good morning, 73 going to 86 today and more rain yesterday. Looks to be a nice day

Will do clean up of the mower parts to get ready to put it back together

Yesterday almost got hurt when the spindle hub came off with a big bang. Fortunately only the glasses got scraped.
Glad you didn't get hurt.

I was going to post the same link to plug/patches that Lou posted. I've used them for near edge punctures for years. I also use plugs for convenience and keep them on hand. If you buy the really sticky type, I've not even had to use the glue/goop to seal ATV and Tractor tires that are lower pressures.
Yep, I keep both on hand for quick tire repairs and to be able to longer term ones when needed. Also I have had plugs not stay in higher pressure tires such as trailer tires at 60-70 PSI.
I also keep a couple of large tire boots on hand for larger repairs on off road tires.
Lou, sorry about your truck troubles. Is the new battery helping? Normally glass mat batteries last 5 years or more.
This was likely the original battery in this pickup so a 2019 to now is around 5 years. It seems to me that these new vehicles don't give the warnings of a battery getting weak like we used to.

Good luck! Low of 57°, going up to 90°. The cooler temps never happened. Neither did the rain that was predicted..... only an 1/8" yesterday. I guess that's better than nothing. No chances today, back to 20-30% chances of T-storms the rest of the week.

So, today's agenda will include running the drip irrigation. Fields are green now, almost ready to cut again, but unless we get more rain, I'll just let them "hang on" to what moisture they have.

When we went up to Colorado last week, they were haying everywhere from about a half hour north of here, all the way over the Colorado border. Apparently, there was a lot of rain that never reached here.

Another conserve energy day. Need to save the energy for our "deep clean" this week. Take one room at a time, clean top to bottom including waxing the hardwood. No more than one room at a time. This way, we don't wear ourselves out.

BIL home safe. He goes for chemo and radiation Monday and Tuesday, back to school teaching on Wednesday. Got to be tough to adhere to that schedule.

Fritz, glad you didn't get hurt. Could have been a lot worse!

Scott, too bad the weather didn't cooperate with the concert. At least you were inside. Reschedule again?

Kyle, the reservoirs up here are super low too! When we drove past 2 up north, they were about 50% of normal. Even the good snowpack last year couldn't get them filled. They had to move the floating docks out further.

Everyone enjoy their day!

frustrated by Eufy account setup. Keep stopping at that email address is invalid
I certainly don't think so. I wonder if it wants my icloud address which I never use.

had to take advantage of cooler temp so I washed half the rv. That got me needed exercise.
Checked oil in gen, decided I had overfilled it and sucked a small amount out.
1.6 quarts oil capacity, pretty sketchy for a 3600 rpm splash engine with no oil filter.
I rarely use it but sure will want it when I need it, like most gens.

I still wonder how the prior owner used this rv, how he put 168 hours on the gen.
I've put on three. I really think he went down the road with it running, which considering rv
fridge also runs on propane, is a head scratcher. Prior owners were older than me, so unlikely they
did much boondocking. All I care is that they took very good care of this thing, and they did.

doing laundry and plan on having a quiet afternoon.

69°F and .66 inches of misty rain.

Nice lunch with BiL yesterday. New restaurant for us about an hour away in Puna.

Made a stop at HD for some items for my project. Came home with a small ish bag and $200 receipt.

This weather is gonna hurt my grass mowing. Just enough moisture and sun I can see it getting thicker and taller while being too wet to mow. Oh well.

Forecast for today, more of the same.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day.

Moved this thread to the front porch forum (off topic) since it's a chat thread. No other change.

The little bit of rain we have been getting has made the grass greener and growing again, so will probably mow this week.
Got .1" rain yesterday, friends of ours that live a little south of us said they got about 3" since friday. The big storm last night went south, down their way.
storms are starting to pop up in areas.

Sermon went well.
Good lunch, I got a couple slices of pizza and ate my son's salad that came with his meal.
Gas prices have gone down some.
