successful afternoon
output voltage from solar panel 20.4VDC, looking good
then I "winterized" my pergola with the sliding roof to slide all the way shut, and I tied
it off with a small piece of rope. Then took the teak table topper in, since now in direct sun, no sense leaving
it out for four months to weather.

moving on to rv, got nowhere trying to grease the front steering zerks; they have fittings one needs one of those flat
connectors for tight spaces. I'll remember that next time I crawl down there, for sure not the best thing on my back.
then checked oil in rv, a little full, as always, and topped off windshield washer tanks in both rv and car.
once again a small bit of mostly eaten walnut shells found under hood of rv.
there is one spot they seem to use as their picnic table

was thinking of driving to nearby town for car wash but decided to do it myself tomorrow.
Need to get the sap off. Am hoping that tree has stopped now that leaves are off
tomorrow little warmer at 56 and a possible shower

Friday night, what kind of trouble can we get in to??

RNG/Scot is doing fine, not washing away, still trying to get a decent quote on a backyard metal building and going
on rides with his motorcycle friends. He seems to be doing fine.

now it looks like we might get a sprinkle later this afternoon.
seems like an invite to chill

31F cloudy.
Good day at work enough so left early.
Dump run stop for critter food before noon,afternoon putter outside.
Mrs. said it's been couple months since I ask you about trading the pickup,that kinda put damper on the rest of the afternoon gotta do some research on todays no trill pickups before spring.
Plans for the evening share bowl ice cream and numb it to pillow time.

Enjoy your evening all.

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 5.2C and it's presently only 15.9C, overcast & fairly calm. There was a brief bit of rain after 0930, so I'll find out tomorrow.

Yesterday I was able to finish raking, secateur and loading the geranium 'garden'. Whew.

I then went into town to "Buster's" (our local automotive shop) to use a gift certificate that the 'Mad Agisting Horse Woman' had given me last Christmas. I remembered that I had it . So I got 5 litres of diesel oil and filter for doing an oil change on the 4105.

Not much scheduled for today.

That's about it, take care all.

You know a very large part of this forum is cursing your name, right now? I think we were in the mid-20's that night, and this ain't exactly Fairbanks.

Kyle has the privilege of dealing with rattlesnakes and various bugs, not to mention scorpions.
I am not in Fairbanks, AK either but really enjoy the cold weather. ZERO bugs.

interesting article about data centers driving up local electric rates.
don't know why but this relates to you guys in Virginia and Maryland for sure.

just makes no sense to unload this cost on general public unless deals were made.
Deals are always made...

It is always the little guy that pays when big business makes 'deals'.

Scott_vt, is there such a thing as too much Rum? Not in my book.

 

[Kyle_in_Tex]

It was a relatively low scorpion year.
low Snakes too.
low Mosquitoes too.
only 1 tick found on ceiling. 1st tick ever seen here on this property in over 20 years.
no hurricanes either.

Been a quiet year on the home front.

Just one major bumble bee attack here, never did find my glasses. Three pair of glasses lost (only 1 found) and two people got sick from the stings.
Good news on the Aiper pool robot, it is repaired and will be delivered tomorrow. I sent it in Monday, quick repair turn around. Temp this evening is a balmy 64˚F and will head up to 68˚ by midnight with a South wind.

Just a quick reminder I am going to Myrtle Beach early in the morning. Just another 80ºF day here, normal high 65.
