Drinking first cup of coffee. 56° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 82° with sunny skies. Washed Mule yesterday. It had a good collection of dirt/mud on it. Enjoyed visit with Niece and her husband. Visited a cider mill and did at local parks nature center. Need to do some pond maintenance today. Then NASCAR in afternoon.

Prayers and best wishes for everyone.

Good Morning All.

Happy Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Kenmbz.

Good morning, the low is 62 and going to a high of 81°F. Wind SSE 3 mph. Sunny!

BB is moved, the raspberry canes that were growing along side the foundation are removed. The planter box that was over three cats graves is removed and disposed of. (It was falling apart) The 2.5' diameter tree stump is still in place, it wouldn't budge. More Epsom salts and let it overwinter another year. I found oil Shell Rotella T-4 10W30, Canadian Tire has 78 gallons of it. $51.99 ea I am going to change the engine antifreeze today, that I have here. The coolant capacity is 2 U.S. gallons and I have one gallon of 'long life' (good for 10 years) here. I will drop into the garage and score another gallon on the day I pedal my butt into town to get the high test gas.

We got the 'special occasion' menus figured out right up to New Years day. CDN Thanksgiving = ham, U.S. Thanksgiving = whatever we want that is cheap, Christmas = a big roasted chicken, New Years day = roast beef.

We are going to see if we can get whole pineapples here in town yet. They are available in North Bay, but Junior said they looked pretty crappy, (almost rotten). I love pineapple, so I think the pineapple tea will be a good thing.

Time to get on with my day

Have a safe day all

62 going to 81. Buppies, looks like we might get some rain this week, finally.

Hard to get into TBN again this morning.

Hey BEF, who kept score in your putt-putt match?

I took advantage of the creek being so dry...I hand shoveled damp sand out of it and into my FEL 6' bucket...4 full loads. Dumped two buckets into my target backstop, and hand spread two into low spots on my woods trail...had to do some lopping to get there. Sore back today.

 

[Thomas]

Youve got me confused -
A 78 gallon container for $51.99?

78 individual one Imperial gallon jugs @ $51.99 ea. They actually hold 5 litres, so just over 1 gallon each.
4.54 litres in one imperial gallon.

Scotty-- great pix! It does look like divine intervention.

Kyle- regarding gas prices, a gallon in NV has been $4.50/gal +/- for years. Add about .50c to a dollar a gallon if over the State line in CA.

Regarding Cabelas in Verdi/Reno, some people also recommend Scheels. HUGE outdoor/sport/gun store with HUGE aquarium. Did I mention a ferris wheel inside just as you walk in? And a biplane suspended above the fishing section? Take Vista blvd. exit off I-80- it is right by the freeway.

Regarding cat houses, yes they still exist in Nevada. Shari's in Pahrump, NV is quite popular. At least I am "told" that from reliable sources!

Ken- happy anniversary!

BEF- good catch on the CA State line behind Drew's campground in Verdi, NV. Funny story, there is a small building just over the line in CA. In the back of the campground. It sells CA lottery tickets. So when the prize gets up to mega-millions, the campground and freeway is backed up sometimes for miles with people from Reno wanting to drive over and buy a ticket.

Yesterday I replaced the dusk to dawn light that got clobbered last winter by a falling oak branch. It's on a metal pole with a control box on the pole about waist high. The control box had #12 wires, black white green. OK. Wires at the top of the pole were #10, black and white only. That was the first oddity. Hmmm. I could barely reach the fixture on top of the 18 foot pole while standing on a 12 ft ladder using the pole for balance. Had to be v-e-r-y careful. After wiring, I flipped the breaker and the LED light glowed but did not light up. Hmmm. Went up the ladder to check it, grabbed the metal pole for balance, and felt tingling. Uh oh. Touched my meter probe to the metal pole and it was energized with 120v. Ahhh. When the falling branch hit the fixture, it caused the wire insulation all the way at the top to be chafed where it was not visible. Not a good combo with a metal pole. All works now and the LED even lights up.

Everyone have a great day !!!
