68°F and no rain Expect to get my system configuration tweaked to accommodate the bad part. Not a big problem as I had already done so when system was installed 4 years ago. Need to have the secondary generator auto start when/if voltage drops. I had this until I lent my Honda generator to a...

Day didn’t quite as planned. Whole morning taken up by my electrical problem and Outback tech support. Eight dropped calls before I finally got to speak with a person. #2 in the cue, #1 in the cue, #3 in the cue, etc until finally. And then that person wasn’t the right expertise and she put me...

Drained and siphoned the tank. Flow definitely restricted. Going with adding a cleanout to tank per instructions I found on Youtube . Today, didn’t go quite as planned, never got to work on the BX. Tomorrow

Happy Birthday to your Mom, KJC

Glad your daughter is OK

E komo mai, Bruce.

65°F and no rain Our friend’s Chicken curry was different from what Sophie makes but delicious. More a curry flavored stew with potatoes and carrots whereas Sophie’s is more a white sauce usually made with coconut milk. Played Hand and Foot and guys lost. First order of business is talking...

Don, a few years ago some local CERT members organized instruction for HAM license. One of my neighbors the instructor. I think it was maybe 4 weeks and then the FCC testor came to classroom site and administered test. I aced it. A very big help was finding online practice tests. I’m sure your...

64°F and no rain. Feeling fallish Sunday again, maybe watch some football. Got a start on cleaning out the BX fuel tank. Apparent got some debris in the tank and it would restrict the flow into the filter. Kinda a PITA project. Electric system made it thru the night again - hopeful. This...

Mike, sometimes, “There but for the grace of God, go I”… I marvel what Sophie does every day and bite my tongue.

65°F and no rain. Headed to friends after coffee to help mount his replacement on demand water heater. Power made it through the night. But don’t know if because we isolated a potential component with a problem or just git lucky. Bruce, if you decide to take side trip to Hilo just let me...

71°F and 7 inches rain Also after 3pm Left early this morning to be at DMV to renew Drivers license. Third in line so pretty much in and out. Good for 4 years. Then Friday follies at Safeway etc. Of course the morning started much earlier with a power failure. Head scratching and...

Very nice, Ted

Lookin cozy

Doesn’t it seem logical a proper fitting for the job should be available? Any CS at the toilet manufacturer?

Hard to believe sometimesI’m retired from Army 30 years plus. Did do parttime computer stuff after and then my time as Home inspector until moving here. Building the house was like a fulltime job, set 8 hour day schedule, but the pay was not great. More out flow than income.

Thank you for contributing to our SS. Your GM friends need it to keep up with our tractors and toys, I mean tools.

63°F and .72 inches rain. 5.08 inches for this storm sure have been welcome. Sophie’s pool needs attention. I’ve taken advantage of the rain to get water level up, but the algae needs to go away. Anybody see the report of the Barbie pink pond on Maui? Very colorful. Prayers for all Be safe...

My solar installer came and went, brought his #1 guy. Actually they installed the system 4 years ago. They were able to dig deeper into msgs etc than I have knowledge. Basically didn’t find any problem with the system other than changing a couple of settings. They have the advantage of more...

Ahhhhh, the challenge [emoji16]

65°F and 2.75 inches rain and raining. Having an electrical issue. System not producing much power from limited sun, but more importantly not running off batteries just generator. My installer due out this morning to determine the fix. May take time to get whatever replacement so also need to...

I think Netgear makes something similar. [emoji16]

So so sorry to read this, condolences and prayers.

Drew, if I had a new part in hand I’d likely replace the old part and keep that for emergency.

68°F and .5 inches rain and more forecast. Hope it rains all day. Very nice Happy Hour yesterday. It was suggested maybe we needed a food oriented name as being more appropriate. As usual the potluck contributions were great. Still need to go to PO as item I was tracking wasn’t posted until...

Butyl tape may prove to be my leak fix. Not pretty, but functional Pumps running smoothly, effectively.

Maybe an opportunity for a local youth?

I’m another of the minimally dressed crowd many days are bvds and a tee. Shorts added if I have to leave the property ans rubba slippers outside.

67°F and .69 inches rain. Feeling blessed. More rain welcome. Need to make a PO run this morning. In person Happy Hour at a neighbors this afternoon Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

No quick fix on my hose leak so I put a catch basin in place and will empty periodically rather than waste the day on a more time consuming fix. Of course as this is just a temp fix that goes away once rain brings water level up, not that important.

Thanks Phil. Not likely to happen. This would take ME too much time given my non skills. Doubtful the bowl is worth a lot. It was a gift at last years Christmas gathering. Would still work to put out with chips, popcorn, or something else dry.

67°F and .39 inches rain yeaaaaaa more please Will give my pool pump work around a once over before letting it run for the day. By blocking the skimmers, which were sucking air and adding a sump pump that feeds directly into the pump feed I get sufficient water to the main pumps into the sand...

Thanks for the info Phil. Yep, I think that’s the problem. Now it doesn’t even sit level and the main split has widened. Wife is curious if any way to fix.

Appears my pump-a-round will function as hoped. Had to make a run to HD for a couple fittings. Did a quick test, won’t stress until tomorrow. A minor leak in the corrugated hose I hope I can fix.

Drew, I think I’d order the part, shipped to Delray and then have whoever install to replace the cross threaded one. Just 1 option.

Excellent Helo 🤙

Same here. SL may not be 100% but soooo much better than anything else. We have a tower almost within sight just up the hill, but blocked by terrain/trees. It has Verizon & TMobile. I was attempting to get that via a 3rd party Mofi setup when I found by accident that I could get the ATT LTE by...

Sad about your neighbor’s barn, Mike. Devastating.

My deepest appreciation to my fellow Veterans, past, present, and future. Thank you.

Phil, ever seen this? Bowl is about year old, local, but I don’t know what wood. I had oiled it, so shouldn’t have dried out.

67°F and .03 inches rain Will walk the push mower thru dogs area today. Need to fuss with Sophie’s pool a bit. Water level down below the skimmers, guessing about 5k gallons low and getting green. Need to improve the water circulation. That will like be my big challenge for the day Prayers...

You might find this interesting. My AT&T signal sux. Phone service terrible, but strangely up on my roof I get a good LTE signal which with help from a Yagi antenna I get decent signal to Mobley. With WiFi my phone works [emoji16]

Another good day mowing. All the major sectors up to date. Only the Dogs area and in front of pool left to do. I’ll get dogs area with the push mower. Likely leave pool area to Sophie.

Best of luck at the fair, you do really nice work, Phil.

True. It was what I read as recommended. It works, so I’m happy and didn’t lose 2 future switch ports. Note But I am using 2 WAN - Starlink and my Mobley.

Great progress, Ted 🤙

Drew, can you remove that whole piece with cross threaded fitting? Possibly replaceable? If removable maybe take into a plumbing/hardware store and ask for help. If NPT possibly can a metal fitting to dress a bit, enough to get proper alignment.

Special prayers for your sister, Mark

Well, we did have both Vanilla and Salted Caramel (unplanned, brought by guests). Couldn’t be impolite. [emoji16]

70°F and .05 inches rain Another good day mowing yesterday. Far Hilo section finished and a good start on the interior sections. Let’s see what I get to today. Nice relaxing dinner with friends. Salmon overcooked slightly, but still delicious. Should have maybe cut the apple pie pieces...

Two-bit-score, My reasoning for say ‘the court’ is it would be the simplest catalyst - one court decision to trigger ALL government entities to address. I fear if we relied on the electoral process we’d never get there

Drew, stop the leak. Have an enjoyable, pleasant journey on this leg.

Paul, what if you accepted the cabinet from the wife, thanked her profusely as I’m guessing she thinks she owes you. Then you find a way to pay maybe anonymously, possibly a donation in his name and she gets a thank you but can only guess it was from you. Schools hands are ties, but still a...

Totally agree. Just because my property maybe worth 4x someone elses doesn’t mean we consume 4x the municipal resources. If fact more common that someone living in a property at 1/4 my value consumes at least 2x the resources. I don’t foresee any government giving up this power unless maybe...

Milk House shaping up nicely, Mike

Excellent on the PT/bike Don.

69° F and .02 inches rain. Trip to Costco a success. $$ Damage could have been worse, but they were out of a couple items on the list. A bit cloudy and overcast. I’d gladly take getting rained out this morning but highest probability only 27% at 10AM then sunny. Need a couple hours of dry...

Years ago we were up around Flagstaff AZ, major construction on the highway. Google Maps apparently not updated properly kept making me take a detour that went nowhere. Frustrating.

68°F and .04 inches rain. Off to Costco this morning. Judging from the list it won’t be one of our cheaper trips. Got the Hilo end about 3/4 mowed and looking good. Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

When I think about such nuisance I envision a highly directional microphone to pickup the annoying sounds and an amplifier/speaker that returns it about 10-20x. Self adjusting of course, once it was a normal level it would quit.

Prayers for healing, Buppies

Happy Birthday, Scott And many more

72°F and no rain. Didn’t make it to town yesterday, thinking we’ll do Costco run tomorrow. But I did have an excellent day mowing. Got the Laupāhoehoe end of property done. Hopefully the Hilo end benefits today. I know many are reporting their last mow of the season/year. Not me, but then...

Congrats on making mileage goal, Mostly.

Birthday wishes for Mrs Mostly

67°F and .18 inches of much needed rain. Sophie tells me we need to make a trip to town, ran out of milk. Happy Hour on Zoom this afternoon. Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

71°F and no rain. Sky a bit overcast, forecast calls for Sprinkles so maybe we can be hopeful. Probably watch some football, not that any particular game excites me. Likely make a dump run in between games. Otherwise, nothing planned. Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

I’ll second that.

Not there yet, but slow progress

Good one, Drew

Pics? Maybe even ID the speedo.

Have to say Paul, that is really good space utilization.

69°F and no rain. It’s the weekend again. Where does the time go? Looking forward to getting the new pieces of my reorg in place. Someone (mostly?) commented about the decision process. Actually what I built is functionally same as my initial solution. That solution would have required a trip...

Neat Most likely if me 1. The containers between 2 supports, either 2x4, 2x6 depending depth of containers. 2. Peg board on backside 3 some sort of tool hangers on outside of 2xs Hence useable surface all 4 sides, easily rotated on the castors. Except a couple of table top pieces all my power...

Would love to see your design for that

Scott, Thanks. If you have decent internet at both locations you could share same YouTube TV account at both.

Ahhh, unfinished jobs…I can relate. I have a box of something similar. Can be mounted in single rows. Unfortunately I don’t have any readily available wall space. So this gives an idea of my starting point. So I’m putting together some frames for the plastic bins to slide. Glue will have to...

RNG, wow, glad nothing catastrophic.

Ron, years ago I used a GPS program on my iphone to determine speed in my golf cart. Not convenient, but fun. Let us know about this solution.

68°F and no rain. Not very productive yesterday. Evaluated a couple reorg solutions without making a decision. Guess I’ll do that today. My shelves are populated with a variety of enclosures to hold stuff like nuts, bolts, screws, tape, etc. some stacked 4 high meaning I have to move 3 to get...

I’ve seen YT suggest jigsaw, but I used my mitre saw. Made a jig to mark and drill the hole saw and the mounting holes on other side using drill press. Then drew a line from each side of hole then cut on mitre saw. Sanded edges with small drum sander in zip tool.

They are 3 and 4 inch pvc I had. Most of the 3 in repurposed. Cut them into 51/2 in lengths, 1 1 3/4 (2 maybe better) slots. Was interesting figuring out how to do so in a replicative manner.

Frits, I seriously doubt Paul would need me as an example LOL

Mike, always thought getting plumbing roughed in a major milestone, seems to add purpose to otherwise blank. Congrats.

Bestofluck with surgery, Buppies

67°F and .08 inches rain. Spent some time catching up with the Canadian friends. Still adjusting from 2 days of travel. They didn’t get in until after 3AM. Probably get started on my next little reorg project. Today is H&F. Guys get another chance. Prayers for all Be Safe Have a great day

Needs a tweak or two but I think it’s gonna work.

Rented one back in Ga. Think it went like 25ft, really nice.

66°F and no rain. Oct was Driest I have on record, just 1.07 inches. Guessing my paint dried overnight so back to my project. Then on to next. Nothing too strenuous though. Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

Slow, but productive. Paint drying slowly so will wait overnight but assembling

I have 3 sets. I valuable when we painted the house this summer.

Don, maybe just try gauze and an ace wrap to cover wound area. Guessing the major goal at this point is to keep it clean.

Drew, with all the improvement you make to the house have you ever discussed a long term, multi year lease? We did that with our cottage, giving tenant a good steady rate and the ability to make improvements subject to our approval.

68°F and .03 inches rain 22 at Happy Hour yesterday. Guess we needed some social time. Plan is to get my cordless tool storage put together and functional. Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

Good to see TBN back up. Yup, seems I lost a few posts re cordless tools. Thanks for all your input. Did get a start on my solution. Expanding my current rack vertically with some 2x6’s using pvc to hold the tools.

Well Paul, I don’t feel so bad now. [emoji16] Do your chargers work off that switch?

I know a bunch of us have collections of battery powered tools. Curious as to how you guys store them. Initially I built a stand 12x48 with 2 shelves and the top. Put some various corded tools on the bottom, the middle shelves the battery chargers and the top for the various cordless. Now I’ve...

Good catch Nah, dump run between games. 1st game for us is 7AM. SNF about 2:30

67°F and no rain. Looks like a great day to watch some football. Need to make a dump run Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

Welcome back, Helegabals

65°F and no rain. Nothing special planned for the day. Continued cleanup and reorganization, slow paced. Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

68°F and .01 inches rain Guy lost at H&F again. Just not in the cards. Only 1 decent hand all night. Off to Friday Follies in Hilo. Shopping at Safeway, get gas, HD, hit the PO on way home. Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

Mostly, I sure my perspective has changed drastically. [emoji12]

Nice job, Drew

Don, 12 years later and I still keep mine flexed via the recumbent bike. I ride it almost every morning. How is your pain! Subsiding? For me, staying on the ibuprofen was key. Dr said there was trauma pain and inflammation. Ibuprofen targeted the inflammation. Was able to quickly reduce my...

Generous of you Drew 🤙 lucky kids.

69°F and .35 inches rain. Progress Very nice day yesterday. The National Guard briefing informative and interesting. Black Hawk aviation company. Power Point briefing followed by visit to hangar and flightline. No rides. Seems to me Chief Warrant Officers were much older back in my day. Nice...

Can’t you just picture 1 on each side of Paul’s grandson?

Don,curious as to the constant motion machine. What happens if your muscles/brain don’t relax and play along?

Come on, Paul. We know your heart’s big enough. [emoji16]

69°F and still no rain. Financial planning meeting went very well, no surprises. Discussed changes implemented. Some shop reorganization started and will continue. Really need to get better at keeping things in their place. Meeting of the Big Island Retired Military Association at the...

Prayers for a great recovery Don

Great pics, Frits, THANKS

4th grade, Middletown, CT (1955/6?). 2 stations on the street we lived had a gas war. Remember my Dad being ecstatic when it went to 9 cents. Didn’t last long. And then 1966, Keesler AFB, Biloxi, MS, I can remember myself and 3 friends scrounging for change so we could put $.25 gas in my...

And one of my simple pleasures as a kid pasting in those trading stamps, S&H and the Gold ones.

KjC, would love to see that sign posted at every station. Actually any place that has tax involved.

Drew. I’d be quite happy at $3/g. Funny though, I remember not so long ago when I wasn’t. Yea, taxes… to pay for things the government has no business doing, except curry votes. Need a reset.

Super congrats Frits and the Mrs. Not a milestone many see 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

70°F and no rain. Forecast says we may get lucky. Meeting scheduled with our financial planner this morning. Actually rescheduled from last week when he had an unplanned dental emergency. Probably more of a social call as we had reviewed most everything by email. Just need to confirm tweak to...

Wow, that is quite special Happy Birthday to your Mom

Just not right Contrary to what I read, metal, not carbon fiber Functional repair

Happy Birthday Tinhack

Ken, lots of Youtube on welding plastic. Replacement tank maybe cost effective.

Frits, skiing here on the Big Island. Yup, it happens, but not every year. No lifts or any infrastructure. I believe most popular is the pickup truck lift. A group skis and 1 member is at end point with pickup and drive them back up. Snowboarding more popular as it’s closer to surfing. Every now...

69°F and .05 inches rain. Up to .68 inches for the month. Drought. Nothing major planned for the day, just piddling around. Need to explore fixing the shaft on the Ryobi weedeater. Carbon fiber. In town Happy Hour this afternoon. Friends from LA area have returned for a month and will be...

Cute [emoji16]

Oh, it was. Wife, son, and I in different classes, then free skiing in afternoon. We belonged to the Heidelberg International Ski Club. Mostly US/Nato military and America/German civilians that worked with us. I think we were largest ski club in Germany with our own certified ski patrol and...

Loved Austria. Very pretty driving in the mountains. We did week long ski school in Austria 3 years.

68°F and .01 inches rain, not nearly enough. Very pleased with reconfigured network. Nice strong signal at all test locations. Worth the effort. No big plans for the day. Watch some football and energy conservation. Depending on feedback from the kids I may tweak their new budget...

OK, just couldn’t resist. Had to hook it up and a couple squirts. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08N5F26XN?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 At $110, I’m happy. And mine came with the 2 additional brushes.

Having lived 6 years in Heidelberg I was unenthusiastic to go, having seen any number of castles etc. Of course that was before the river cruises and boy was I wrong. A very different perspective. AMA does a great job. Much more personal than the major ocean cruise.

Drew thought one of these would be nice. Africa | AmaWaterways™ We did AMA Danube cruise and loved it.

Very colorful and nice, Frits. Proud Papa 🤙

Happy Early Birthday, Dennis. Sounds like a nice enjoyable trip.

68°F and no rain. Will get that last AP either reset or replaced. I do have a spare. Then I can test coverage in various spots. Have a bit of cleanup at the Cottage from the antenna work. Our Canadian friends are scheduled to return on the 30th. Received the SunJoe electric PW that was a...

Thanks. Sometimes I wish I’d paid better attention in Networking class. Most of it a mystery when I get it to work.

A good day in town, nice breakfast. Surprised to see so many empty shelves at Safeway, like whole sections. Soph commented to cashier and she said they were short help. Also a good day resetting my APs. All but 1. Of course that’s the most difficult one in most challenging place. Did the reset...

Have to pickup, no delivery at all. As a “ bonus” for that we do NOT have an official USPS street address therefore not in the official address database so many use. Often challenging.

That’s really looking great, RS

I think we’d make an interesting community, Drew. A great one.

Paul, I suspect any cabinet you build would be far superior than anything via HD.

Don’t look too closely in back [emoji16]

68°F and .14 inches much need rain Off to Hilo town this morning. Breakfast with Sophie, Safeway, PO and back home. Hopefully up on the roof and get my APs reset and adopted. Then who knows. Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

Added Ubiquiti UDM Pro SE to my setup. This gives me Failover for my Starlink from my Mobley. Pretty good speedtest too

Yup, probably overkill. I primarily wanted the Failover function. Had a Cloudkey Plus, but it died. Hoping I have better luck than you. Pretty happy with my Eufy cams so far. My Ubiquiti switches and APs have held up so far. Maybe I should get a list. I do have other friends with Unifi.

from this To marginally improved But the best part I now have automatic Failover for my Starlink to my Mobley Fortunately will got some rain. Kept me from the roof to reset those AP’s but we really need the rain.

67°F and still no rain Good report at Sophie’s ophthalmologist. He showed on the pics how the healing had progressed. Change to prescription dosage and back in another month. Almost finished with my internet mod. I hope Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

Still deserve time off As spoken by another cook [emoji16]

As we do yours Thomas

69°F and no rain. Feeling back to normal today. Headed for town 1st thing, Sophie has her periodic ophthalmologist appointment. Then a couple errands in town. Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

67°F and 0 rain Good lunch in Pahoa. UPS delivered my networking component. Hoping to get that configured today. Scored all 3 vacs at Safeway as walk-in. Moderna, sr flu, and RSV. Both arms complaining this morning and a bit under the weather so today will mostly non physical. Sophie...

Happy Birthday, boys

Interesting watching you guys transition into fall, great pics. Never liked raking leaves. OK, maybe as a kid when we’d jump and play in the pile, but never as a clean up thing. Didn’t make me real popular with some of my southern neighbors. My reply was, “God put them there, he’ll remove them...

69°F and no rain. Had to transfer water into the pool Off to Pahoa town later this morning. Meet Sophie’s brother and GF for a late lunch. First time down that way in quite a spell. Gonna try to get walk in vaccinations at Safeway enroute. Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

69°F and 0 rain No plans for the day. Likely watch some football, but have no idea of who is playing. Not really following any particular team this year. Do like watching Tua and Purty that they do well. Everyone else pretty much hit and miss. And to be honest there is a couple on the other...

If your Dad has internet shouldn’t be a problem. My neighbor and his brother in Ca share a Youtube TV account. 3 devices can be logged in same time I believe.

Dennis with Youtube Tv, Prime, AppleTV, we don’t miss Dish in the least. And less downtime.

Finished mowing, 🤙 Nice lunch, pizza from the air fryer Turned into a ME afternoon. Nice long soak in the hot tub. Configured the bed into Zero Gravity mode Both head and foot massagers for 20 minutes. Turned me into to a warm puddle of contentment.

69°F and no rain. Another beautiful but dry day ahead. A couple more hours to finish mowing my farm end. Glad I decided to do a week early. A bit quicker and looks a bit nicer. Probably take rest of day for energy conservation Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

Scott, careful not to spend that 3.2% in one place. I know for my SS that won’t even cover a decent lunch with Sophie. But glad we get it.

Glad you weren’t damaged.

69°F and .14 inches rain, welcome improvement. Just as I was about to walk out to the tractor shed yesterday both Kekoa and Makani started heck of a ruckus up at the gate. I walked around to see and there is a car with 2 people waving. I go up and find 2 former neighbor friends, Dave and...

Great story, Paul 🤙🤙

To the marketeers…

70°F and 0 rain Got about half my Hilo end mowed yesterday. Should get that finished today. Otherwise, could be a quiet day Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

Product: Unleaded Plus Quantity: 23.770000 Price: 5.1090 Amount: 121.4400 Product: Diesel 2 (Non-Taxable) Quantity: 15.076000 Price: 5.0890 Amount: 76.7200

You make me laugh, Paul. I too, have a difficult time playing Indian. Really difficult when i don’t see what their next step is, made worse when I realize they don’t know either.

69°F and .02 inches rain. Not even keeping up with evaporation. Got a start mowing yesterday but needed to make a trip to town for diesel and gas. Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

Happy Happy 100th 🤙

68°F and .1 inches rain. Every little bit helps. My shrimp stir fry Was pretty good as was the rest of the offerings. Another good time. Not sure what I’ll get into. I’d prefer too be rained out [emoji1] I can always piddle about inside Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

My stressful life

Sounds like a very reasoned approach RS. Save money.

🤙🤙 Drew

68°F and .13 inches rain. Noticed yesterday water level in pool is barely at the skimmers. Dogs area definitely needs attention this morning. Amazing the grass growing yet so little rain. Happy Hour at neighbors this afternoon. Chinese theme. I’m making shrimp stir fry. Prayers for all Be...

Great attitude, Ron. Unfortunately, passing is just another part of life. A few years back we were scheduled to host a neighborhood gathering. A former neighbor passed very unexpectedly just days before. I got several call, people expecting we would cancel. My response, Heck no, Jim would be...

So talented, Phil. Very nice.

Condolences on loss of your friend, Drew. Sounds like he had a good life. 2 sugars and cream was pretty normal in my growing up.

69°F and no rain. Took a chance and realigned my Ubiquiti antennas at the cottage. Able to get a good strong signal and internet with current configuration. My thinking being the replacement part deals with house side distribution with minimal effect at cottage. Hope I’m right. Maybe watch...

Welcome back RS. Almost feels like I’ve been on vacation not reading you working so hard.

Very colorful, Check

66°F and no rain. Dry month so far. Most of the state is in drought https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/CurrentMap/StateDroughtMonitor.aspx?HI Not awake enough to plan the day. Do my bike and coffee first. Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

Amazing. So glad you are on this side.

Pretty easy day. Spent some time on the electrical system. Made sure all the vent areas were clean, unobstructed. No burnt or unusual smells. Upgraded all the firmware to latest releases. No more glitches so far. Still think the problem is in the control unit. Wait and see I guess. Scag...

True that. I fabbed mine from a piece of 2x3 box steel I had left from a project. Split into 2 Ls. Apparently didn’t pay close enough attention and it was about 1/8 inch too tight to put bowl collar back on, so had to make a slight modification. Can’t tell in my pic [emoji16]

Hey Scott. Have 4 of those 4k tanks for my catchment system. Back in 2006 when I purchased, all 4 for $10k. Heard recently they are $10k each. Hope you got a good price.

Drew, if you haven’t do a Google/youtube. Numerous hits, some citing which toilet model. Doesn’t appear as straight forward as one might hope, but doable.

70°F and 0 rain Guys lost H&F, but dinner was great. Some unexpected power glitches to investigate. Possible firmware update, but suspect possible hardware issue. This system has been very reliable since installation nearly 4 years ago. Network reconfiguration on hold until new Ubiquiti UDM...

No progress, just wasted time this morning. My network reconfiguration required moving a Ubiquiti component from Cottage to house. Was hoping just relocating to opposite end wouldn’t require major reconfiguration. Wrong, unit wouldn’t even power up. Tried everything I could think and every...

69°F and .08 inches rain. Expect to get my internet finished today, get the Starlink signal from the house to Cottage properly configured. Hosting Hand &Foot this afternoon. Have to finish my meatballs and spaghetti started yesterday and make some garlic rolls. Sophie made a banana cake that...

Other piddling around meant getting later start on the network mess than anticipated but the good news is some success. Everything still working and able to label the unlabelled. Some more neating up to do yet. Should get started on the reconfiguration tomorrow

Good one [emoji16]

Somewhat similar thinking here. We did VRBO vacation rental, but no longer. County keeps changing the rules. Transient tax up to 13%. Shortterm rental redefined as less than 30 days, now, 180 days. Big push for additional licensing which means additional fees. Endgame is to change property tax...

68°F and 0 rain Need to spend some time on my untidy, but functional home network You might agree All this reporting of closing pools, I should report. Very pleased with the salt water conversion of Sophie’s pool. Not that I’m a big time swimmer, but a quick dip followed by a leisurely soak...

Extra prayers for all the “heads” needing same.

Good point, thanks

Good on ya. I wasn’t aware. Made my own bracket so took me longer than a few minutes and I only had black paint, no grey or orange. Thanks for grease tip,p. Hopefully I’ll remember when and if I remove the bowl. Kinda strange I didn’t as I usually put lube on my screw type filters, even on my...

True, unless you want to shut off before the filter.

OK, you got me. I won’t be 77 until next month. Also work aone, I have the drive over deck, but geez, all the frame stuff still attached to tractor is a pain. Mine almost cost me my apple watch. Managed to chip the face corner. Fortunately after it dried out and resuscitated I was able to patch...

Anyone who has had to deal with the BX fuel filter knows it can be a PITA endeavor if you need to deal with the filter under the frame under the seat. Solution: add a fuel separator/filter and shut off in a more convenient location. I used a kubota part...

Finally got Sophie’s BX properly fixed with fuel separator/filter and shutoff. I used a kubota part https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AEW48IO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 And https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001DQX02/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
