Good morning!!!!

Heavy fog, 100% humidity and 66 going to 92. Got dumped on last evening. Looking forward to checking rain gauge in a few minutes.

I took advantage of yesterday early morning's fog and dew to give my wife's SUV a very much needed washing. Might do the truck today.

Nice tomato harvest, Kyle. I can't remember, do you can or make sauce?

Eric, for 14 pounds, I hope you got more than a comic book. Good that you can tackle fixing an excavator like that.

Thanks for your concern about Coco...she is what I'd call stable, but still in a bad condition. Still doing twice daily pills and ear drops and cleaning. She has found the delight in eating canned foods with names like Cowboy Cookout, Birthday Pawty, Slow Cooked Texas BBQ, Hearty Rabbit and Salmon stew. I'd go broke feeding 4 cans of these if that were her regular daily diet, but derm vet asked for soft food since she has mouth sores. I'm also moistening her kibble for an hour, using the remnants of the canned food that I rinse and store in a jar.

My son stopped by last night to drop off some things and also has a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, a good boy that we helped raise...but is very old now. He's been researching a replacement, and told me how much DNA testing is being used now so that a breeder can ensure that recessive genes aren't combined from dam and sire. Pups cost more, but fewer dogs will have to endure problems going forward, and less long term costs with vets.

Got some mowing done before the storms hit, and did some pole sawing on some low limbs I've been threatening for a while when they smack me on the tractor after popping off the ROPS. Nice to get than done.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 64° with light rain this morning. Heading to 73° with am rain. Did not anything done yesterday. To hot and humid for me. Rain has accumulated to .09" since Sunday. Should be good day to tackle repairs on JD mower. Got woke up by Sassy barking at 4am. She found a moth on floor. That she appears to be afraid of. :confused2: I may need a nap today.
Bluebird cleaned up it's self some. May be molting.

Drew, special prayers.

Jay, wishing the best for you.

Kyle, tomatoes look good. Lots of BLT's in you future.

Don, hope you get pool to gym time spots.

Eric, hope repair works on BH.

RNG, the surge guard that I had on motorhome dropped out if voltage dropped below 102 VAC. To help stop the voltage drop a hard start capacitors could be added to AC unit. This was on a 15k BTU AC. They also make a soft start control that will let AC start on a 2000 watt generator. May be something similar for a house AC and water pump.

Ken, nice sized stump you pulled.

Everyone be safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.

good morning all.
Still warm down here Roy.

And since I can never remember the difference between TIG and MIG (one is for aluminum?) never learned that "improved" method.

Yeah...I'm fairly OK with hot weather...hot humid weather really drags me down. This heat we're experiencing now should be in the deep South...not New England!

TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) is like gas welding...you hold and manipulate a torch (with a tungten electrode) and feed the puddle with a filler rod (like gas welding)....MIG (Metallic Inert Gas) the filler rod (wire) is fed through the gun. Both methods can be used for any metal. Both TIG and MIG are used for aluminum welding, but not limited to non-ferrous metals. The advantage is the inert shielding gas (normally argon or an argon-helium mix) reduces the weld contamination.
I was certified on TIG while in the Navy, but wasn't really too good. However, it gave me the experience to evaluate welds when perform NDT (Non-Destructive Testing)
Aluminum can be stick welded, but it looks pretty crappy

70F heavy fog low 90's for high scatter t-storms late afternoon.
As Roy said we need break from this heat wave or I'll need to start hosing down the wood pile so it doesn't burst into flames. ;)

Kinda of little strange maybe not last evening,around 7:30pm fancy car pull into driveway couple in there 70's visiting there daughter from lower Boston,Mass.,asking permission
set in there car half way down the driveway eating there fast food and take pictures of wildlife,Peanut investigated them and both fox pups put on show playing with tennis ball fill with catnip,Tom turkey stood proud while both hen turkeys took dirt bath,before leaving couple ask if they could return that's not a problem just no dogs and well behave children wife said.

Plans for today...putter outside until it get hot than stay low and cool.

Enjoy the day all.

Good morning. It's a humid 73° here this morning but forecast say our high will only get to 89° this afternoon. Big rain cells heading our way this morning. It looks like we'll get rain by late morning. I think the rain has already got to Don and soon .. for Kyle.

I'm heading into town to get feed this morning .. before rain gets here. I'll be there waiting .. when they open at 7:30.

I made zero progress pressure washing up at the house yesterday. Got pressure washer ready, filled with gas, checked the oil, turned on switch, set choke, gave starter an easy pull and the cord wouldn't retract for a second pull.

I removed the recoil assembly and the cord had come off of the reel. Got it re-strung and put it back on the PW motor. Gave it a pull and it did the same thing. . Gave it up for the day and did some trimming and mowing on the front side of the house.

Depending on weather this afternoon, I'll bring the trailer mounted 4000 psi PW up to the house and get busy.

Everyone have a pleasant "Hump Day Eve" today.

Prayers to all
