good morning all
up too early but coffee will get me going
should be a quiet morning until friend arrives to give me a ride to the rv, where I will check out of winter storage
and bring it home. So I expect to be busy this afternoon unloading the rv for sale.
naturally dealer told me wasn't sure he could get my price for rv, motorhomes are down, blah blah.

35 going up to 50 today, mostly sunny, should be a nice day

never made it to Costco, worked outside instead.
Mostly, when I was doing power plant instrumentation, one of the hot tickets was vibration monitoring for turbines.
everything was done to prevent unplanned outages by using predictive (early AI?) analysis.
Kia says they are putting in new engines, not fixing them. (?)
worrisome so many new engines are bad these days. And for dumb stuff like leaving production debris inside engine.
in Kia's case they got bad rings from a supplier. If they went for lowest cost, shame on them. It will sure cost them more now.

not to mention almost all new truck gas engines in last few years have been plagued with valve gear issues, all the variable timing
gear not working so well. Hemi ticks, ecoboost cam phasers, GM's bad lifters, Toyota and Lexus replacing more than 100k top of the line
V6 engine (that replaced their very reliable V8)
simple reality is between emissions and infotainment, our cars are incredibly complicated now.

Good morning,
29° now

Today 02/28
A mix of clouds and sun early followed by cloudy skies this afternoon. High near 40F. Winds WNW at 10 to 20 mph.

Tonight 02/28
Cloudy with snow showers developing after midnight. Low near 30F. Winds SE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of snow 40%.

The only accomplishment yesterday was cleaning the couple inches of slush off of and around the vehicles and then back to conserving energy.

No real plans for today just spend some more time puttering around.

Enjoy your day everyone

Poured first cup of coffee. 23° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 50° with cloudy skies and gusty winds. Grocery shopping went good. Found everything I wanted on shelves. Stopped a Lowes and got 4 keys made for garage and barn. Key for barn work. Key for garage will not work. Back to Lowes to get that fixed today. Got camera bird feeder problems solve with a short phone call. May work on getting it put up today.
Sandhill Cranes are back. I think this one has it's legs crossed hoping for snow to melt away.

Good morning TBN!!
36 this morning w/high of 65 today.
Not much energy expended yesterday. Fixed both pair of cutting goggles up and they are clean and ready to go. Started the generator and let it run with a load on it for a while. Shuffled some stuff around and now I have a full bay to work in.
And of course walked Takoda.
Not sure about today. Might make a second attempt to get glasses. Tired of not seeing well enough.
Probably just putter after we get back.

Time for a second cup.
Everyone have a great and safe day!!
