Good Morning!!!! 76F @ 6:15AM. Plentiful sunshine. High 104F. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph.
Glad the real estate drama is done for you, Drew, and that you've set a direction for your near future. Hope you'll take us along on your new adventure! FWIW, one of my fellow motorcycle club members retired about fifteen years ago, bought an Airstream trailer, sold his house, and has been "homeless" ever since. Seems like he's never more than a few days in one place, bicycling, hiking, kayaking, and doing tourist stuff is his new full time job. "Going where the weather suits my clothes" is a good way to describe it. Seems like his "gang" usually has about a dozen people he does these things with, and the faces change regularly, too. So "homeless" doesn't mean you don't have a home, or apparently, a family.
Kyle and Rich, you never know what you'll run into when you start taking something apart. So you roll with the punches and just git'er done. Whatever it takes...:thumbsup:
Yeah, Ted, it's HOT! And getting hotter...
How much wood did that woodchuck chuck, Ron? :laughing:
Hope business picks back up soon, Paul. Before you get too used to four day work weeks!
As of yesterday, we had 338 confirmed CV19 cases in the county, 118 recovered, and 4 dead. Doesn't seem like much, but the number has doubled in only two weeks.
Pretty much confirmed that the valves on the top'n'tilt are causing the leak down. Haven't been able to find a spec on what Kubota considers an acceptable rate, and I really don't want to lose the ability to float those valves as would be the case if check valves were installed. Too hot to do much about it this weekend, so that's put off 'till Monday.
Got a new credit card in the mail with an updated expiration date, and spent some quality time updating all the automatic charges that go against it each month. Oddly, a number of the accounts already reflected the new expiration date.:confused2:
Pizza steel showed up yesterday, too. Nice smooth finish on it, but will need to clean the oil off before it gets used. Slow cooked a rack of baby backs yesterday afternoon on the BBQ, that Sweet Baby Ray's stuff is the bomb!
Ordered a tambour door for one of the cabinets on the van, something I've been meaning to do for over a year. The company also makes roll up shutters for doors and windows, and I'm thinking they'd make a good addition for the house, too. They're not cheap, but what price peace of mind?
Also ordered an adapter that turns the folding bed/back seat in the van into a rear facing seat. Another one of those too long put off things.
Figured out that the suction line on the firetruck is threaded 2 1/2" National Hose, and started looking for a hose supplier. That stuff isn't cheap, either.
Not sure what's on the agenda for today; it's an opportunity rich environment...
