Good morning, the low is 55 and going to a high of 79°F. Wind SSE 6 mph. Sunny!
Roller coaster temps for the next 5 days. Typical September.

We searched all outside yesterday in all three garages and no cube lights. Today I will search inside the house. I did find some other stuff that was missing, so the search wasn't a bust.

We've got 4 cooler rainy days coming up and that is when I want to do the lights. It is only a one maybe two hour job, so four days should just about cover it.

Time to get my goobers into me.

Have a safe day all

55 heading to 77...nice again...spoiling me.

Congrats on the raise, Kyle.

Ron, louvered doors are fun to clean, right? Nope.

Plow, teeter totter sounds like a good way to give Rigby some exercise and agility. He's growing fast.

Ken, glad you get to work from home most of the time...that commute sounds rough.

hopefully cooler temperatures
going to be 47 for next two nights, in SD and WY.
good morning all from Onawa Iowa.
Headed North to White Lake SD.

geez.....
wet floor in the bathroom (AGAIN). Not anywhere I worked on, this time inside the tiny floor vanity, way in back, at bottom. Of course....drip, drip, drip. I dried everything up, jammed a towel in there, and will deal with probably this afternoon. Can't see where it's leaking, hose goes into a four inch square plastic piece and leaking out of bottom of that. This builder sure hides their crummy work inside boxes...
so this afternoon I'll pull all the stuff out of there and see if I can figure out what's leaking. For now, off goes the water and turn it on when I need it.
maybe another repair on RNG's every growing list. I really am glad he is on the way, but not for another couple weeks.

problem with the drip of thankfully clean water is it sits on bottom of fake woodwork, the not real wood expands and gets wrecked. So to avoid more of that, have stuffed an extra towel on floor. I brought SIX big towels for this, once bitten...

last night electricity went out twice. Oh no, the transfer switch. No, bad breaker, again, once again plugged into 50amp with 30 amp adapter and no problems. I think I may do that more often. It would not surprise me if connections on transfer box still drawing too much current. Running microwave and a/c and battery charger and fridge, equals unhappiness.
Not even thinking about using electric hot water heater until repairs made.

thought about taking a longer route North to go through corner of Nebraska, and pick up another state sticker for my map, but I looked at route carefully and it involved about 20 turns. No thanks.

so staying on 9 until I get to 90 and then head West
past the Corn Palace in Mitchell SD. I have seen a million pics of that, my friends visited it three times on trips and sent me tons of pics. Not easy to park near it either, so I'll wave as I go by. Interesting they say drought kept them from doing new corn murals a few years ago. It seems pretty dry out here.

next two places have gravel roads like this one, would be nice if it rained and settled the dust first

good morning, 51 going to 76 sunny

The battery turned out to not be able to hold a charge. Got a new one and installed it. The high ah rating makes it expensive. Ordered a couple of more trickle charges. Had some batteries last 12 to 14 years not this one just over two years which is the warranty.

May get back to fire wood tasks, winter is coming

Good Morning
It’s 46° with a high in the low 70’s under a clear sky again. A great day to be outside.

Been making great progress on the old folks home, the stone masons cut and set the blue stone sills. It was interesting to see them work the saw cut surfaces with an oxy-acetylene torch to pop off the smooth surface.

I got the radiant heat fired up and balanced the flow through all the loops, I was able to set it to the design gpm for each loop. The tile is moving along, today the hardwood floors get installed.

There is concern about how green the mantle is, and how stable it will be if we set it now. I have it in the climate controlled shop with fans blowing across it, and the moisture meter says it’s dropped from 24% to 14%, and it’s lost 18lbs.
There is some checking, but it is staying straight so far.

I also have been rotating it every day as well.

All of this progress has come at the expense of the little plane, I still haven’t got it finished and back together.
Maybe I’ll get there today while they’re working on the floor, and I can’t do anything else.
