Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

I couldn’t sleep last night. Too much stuff going on in the world. Got up for awhile at 3 am, went back to bed at 4:30am or so. Finally got a little sleep till wife woke me at 9 to see if I was ok.
Working by 9:30. One nice thing about working from home, the commute is short, and clothing is optional.
Wife went to her mom’s for a few days. Some family drama going on with wife’s sister, I’ll leave it at that. My wife will do some zoom meetings with her dad in hospital so her mom can see him.
Need to transfer one car to my son, time for registration renewal and he paid me for it.

Haven’t seen dad since thanksgiving.
My sister and BIL who both had Covid went to see him for first time since they are recovered. They said they wore masks, wiped things down. They had to do his taxes and give him a haircut.

Year ago I had my first of 2 pneumonia’s that led to my GBS and 2 months in hospital/ rehab.
An awful time except the PT and OT people were excellent.

In MD numbers of positive tests down to around 8% of those tested, had been high as 30% when you had to have the symptoms to even get a test. But still over 800 per day.

Be your best advocate, Drew. Make them explain and keep asking until YOU understand. They should count their lucky stars GM is not there in person.

RNG,check voltages at combiner box, same voltage going into CC? Hopefully they started CC correctly, set voltage first.

rswyan- That's a great recipe. It reads to be great eats. I am happy to read that you were able get fresh rosemary.

Jay ... it turned out very good ... although I was surprised that the lamb "flavor" was a little stronger than I expected it to be ... (the cuts were really well marbled with quite a bit of fat, so maybe that had something to do with it)

Since most of the lamb I eat is prepared with a spicy Indian recipe (Vindaloo) I guess I tend not to notice it as much I guess ... :confused3:

In any event, The Woman actually liked it ... which I found to be pretty surprising, because if it ain't chikin she usually isn't really very interested ... :laughing:

We eat a lot of lamb and dried rosemary does not cut it = I keep two rosemary plants. I keep them under grow lights in my cellar garden all Winter and replant them the following Spring. Mine are going back to the garden tomorrow. Another nice rosemary recipe is rosemary encrusted baked potatoes. Fresh rosemary is best, but dried rosemary will work with this dish.

The fresh herbs really do make a huge difference, don't they ?

The Woman has been wanting a little herb garden for the longest time ... guess I need to add that to the list for this summer ...

I spent the morning taking out trip hazards in one of my walking paths. I've been tripping over these tree/sapling stubs on my walking path for years; I do not think that I'll miss them. My new hedge trimming attachment is really sharp. I cut myself removing the scabbard. It worked as expected. Tomorrow I'll be taking out the branches that I've been ducking under for the same time period with the pruning saw attachment.

That Kombi system looks pretty slick ... :thumbsup:

IIRC, Tygon fuel hose is what you want ... it's very flexible, almost resembles silicone rubber.

Yep, Tygon's good stuff, but not all of it is compatible with the new gas. I've been using Tygon F-4040-A for a while now with good results. It's an ugly translucent yellow color, though.

It was the end of the day, they guy had been hurrying all day, and he was almost three hours late in leaving for home with a two hour drive ahead of him. He was POed, losing his patience, and I think it's just a mistake made somewhere along the way. Probably in the configuration or programming, and my money is on the programming. That kind of thing never goes well under stress.

I did get through to the salesman this am, who was surprised (he hadn't heard from any of the crew), and he said he'd nose around to see what's going on. I emphasized to him that I didn't want anyone thrown under the bus, but do need some action to ensure the system is as reliable as promised. We shall see...

Sounds like the stuff I've been using ... same color at any rate ...

Wow. Your experiences with the highest levels of incompetency over the last few years have been an incredible roller coaster to read. Have you considered writing a book? Maybe along the lines of a "If You Want It Done Right, ..." kind of thing?

Dangerous Thunderstorm Alert issued just before I was about to hop in the shower, currently experiencing a torrential downpour ...

This promises to be another one that has the culvert overflowing if it keeps up ...
