7 cents a sheet is a good deal?
I use a splash of bleach and a paper towel.

We always had good luck with Kenmore until the last microwave, it was the loudest and slowest I've ever seen but luckily it died after only about 1 1/2 years and I smashed it to smithereens with the tractor loader. We bought a Toshiba to replace it and it is the quietest and nicest we have ever had. I hope it outlasts me.

69F and overcast/fog @ 11:00. Dense Fog Alert issued earlier. Peeks of sunshine later with a a high of 81F.
Got a couple of spacers made up yesterday to raise front of new seat. Used some old drops from drilling 1/2" steel with a hole saw. The seat does not go back as far as the original Kubota seat but that may be due to the slide bracket or location of mounting holes on the seat ... need to investigate that more. With the front raised 1/2", it doesn't seem that there is a tendency to slide forward, out of it.
Got about half of the lawn down around the house mowed yesterday, along with the compost/firewood lot. Ground was still very wet down around the house and it was hot and very muggy out. I didn't have much of a head for being out there ... possibly I didn't sleep very well night before last (fell asleep on the couch)
Everything on the list not done still on the list for today.
Will probably go ahead and mow the front again when it clears up later since I have the MMM on the Kubota. Like Ron said the grass seems to be growing pretty fast.
Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, and safe day ... :thumbsup:

Good morning- 69 going to 81 and rain for today-already had 1/2in and calling for a LOT more-
Got some more spraying of the stilt grass yesterday - it's starting to seed :-(
Chuck - welcome to GM and don;t envy the unpacking, hope you did a clean out before the move! On one move I asked the wife to mark the boxes-she put numbers on them :confused2:
RNG - getting reports from all over on smoke and dark days all the way down to San Diego and east. Be cautious and get out if you can- good time to have a firetruck and planning, hope it's more than enough to cover you.
Roy- success with the pine!
Eric, looks like another big hay crop,nice end to the season
Bird - last time Sears sent someone, they started yelling at my wife and I was at work-she put me on the phone with the guy and I told him to get the **** out of my house or I'd have the police there. He was trying to push for more money. We then bought a mattress from them and the guys who showed up were pretty scary too. Used to have Sears staff and they were great, now they contract out and don;t seem to bother checking who they send
LS - heard from people in Colorado- Snow melted pretty quick-but really early for them too
RS- busy every day-I took a low day yesterday and got tired just from reading your list !
Stay Safe and be well and thoughts out to all on the west coast

Good Morning!!!! 68F @ 7:30AM. Some clouds this morning will give way to generally sunny skies for the afternoon. Expect widespread areas of smoke and haze, reducing visibility at times. High 89F. Winds light and variable.
New record on the AQI meter this morning: 436!. Air so thick you breath it by the slice.
Eric, around here they say "You've got to make hay while the sun shines." Do they say that in Merry ol' England, too?
I have to admit I had visions of grandma's quilt nailed to a barn, Billy. Someone has too much time on their hands if they have to paint a barn like that to stay busy.:2cents:
David MFW, wouldn't it be nice to be unpacking like ChuckT, even if it did mean missing your tools?:laughing:
Good luck with the ice maker, Bird. Nothing like talking to a tech person that has a mouth full of marbles.
That's what I was thinking, too, Don. Not only to breathe, but to keep the IR heat from burning my skin. Full face mask, a hood of some sort under a helmet with a shield I could lower. Maybe even turn outs, but I'd hate to wear a set for very long in the hot weather we've been having. Glad you found a sweet spot for the Tempest.
Can't blame it all on the tree huggers, DavidMFW. Much of the land that burns out here is in private hands, and the owners just don't have the money to take care of it. When I was house shopping several years ago I ran into a couple of fire marshals that were fining people for not abating their properties, but he wasn't making much progress collecting.
When I was in Costco a couple weeks ago, Drew, they were putting out three packs of those big round cylinders full of Clorox bleach wipes. They might be sellin' 'em online, too. But I still haven't found any Lysol spray yet.
Took a series of one hour naps last night, Ted. But gave up at 3AM and slept straight through to 6:30 when one of my neighbors woke me up with a text. Looking forward to a good night's sleep tonight, providing the fire cooperates. Hope you can get Max in for his ear, that can't be pleasant for him. Usually when you buy something, it works out that you don't need it. So I'm not sure you're the cause of the cold snap after all. At least you were prepared, and weren't out in the field harvesting sage to stay warm.:laughing:
During one of the awake periods last night, the alarm on the van went off. That triggered an alarm sound on the iPhone, first time that ever happened. I don't usually lock/arm the van when it's parked here, and I was so tired I just went back to sleep thinking it was just a bug. But I also took some comfort in thinking that it's fully insured and if someone were to steal it, all my problems with it would be solved. Does that make me a bad person?:confused2::laughing:
I seem to recall that back in the day, Paul, Whirlpool made the Kenmore stuff. I wouldn't be surprised if that was still the case, but then again, Whirlpool ain't what it used to be, either. Sounds like your getting the hang of digital mixing, but if you're like me, learning new things gets harder every year. This o'scope is a good example of me struggling with something that should be simple...
Neat how the dark pink tinged three or four separate blossoms where they overlapped, Ron. Is that a geranium?
Good point about stress, David. It was a major motivator in choosing to retire when I did. Now I wonder if there's a way to retire from retirement?:confused2:
This is the third fire I've been through here, Chris; they seem to be coming along every couple years now. So far there's been no damage this time around, but the 2018 Camp Fire wasn't so kind. Unless equipped with oxygen, I don't think a shelter would do much good. There is a great deal of open ground here, and with or even without an N95 mask, the firefighters I've stood beside were confident of a positive outcome. No firefighters here this time, though, and no air support, either. They were all too busy trying to keep Oroville from burning to the ground.
Thanks for the well wishes, folks. Bravery has little to do with it. I was taught to lay in the bed you make. But if someone would have taken me aside ten years ago and explained about wildfire, I probably wouldn't be here now.
In spite of the bad air, the fire is dying down, or at least the satellite seems to think it is. Just answered a robocall from PG&E telling me that the power will be back on by noon. By this time, though, I can't say I've really missed it. Aside from going out into the garage to push the button to turn the generator on/off a couple times, being off grid has been no inconvenience at all. Brings a whole new meaning to the fashionable "cord cutter" term, doesn't it?
As if the fire wasn't bad enough, someone hacked one of my email accounts yesterday, and now I've got emails from all over asking me about strange mail they're getting. Worst part is, the messages are copies of email I'd sent them previously, sometimes months old, with a short paragraph above it asking them to click a link. So far, all of the links have been dead, a small blessing since who knows what kind of nastiness could have resulted had they gone someplace bad. But just to be safe, I've been working through my passwords and changing them. Not a small job, but it's small potatoes compared to how a lot of folks are waking up this morning.
Yesterday's news was full of video showing all manner of things on fire, and thousands of people fleeing their homes with little more than the shirts on their backs. Most will be OK, but a lot of 'em were uninsured, and everything they had was just turned into a smoldering ruin. They're usually folks my age or older, with no pension or savings, or even enough hours to qualify for SSI, and it might be months before they leave the fairground or state subsidized motel room where they ended up last night. Just folks doing the best they could for their whole life, only to end up empty handed and broke at the end of it. That's the real tragedy of these fires...
Hang in there, gang, Friday's comin'!

70°F and .55 inches rain.
Trip to PO and haircut highlight plans for the day.
More puppy time of course. I may have said back when we got Kekoa but I think this house may be challenging for a new puppy with the floor and and the fact we have concrete floors inside then expansive concrete Lana is. A trip to grass could seem daunting.
Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

RNG - Unpacking is a dream I cannot afford yet. I gotta make it through the next 9 days (maybe a few more).
And I believe if the timber industry was healthy in CA, if CA was less NIMBY & Greenie, there would be more treating of the forest as an asset, not just pretty to look at. Just my opinon, YMMV...
Regardless STAY SAFE PLEASE!!!!
Be well,
David

So true Ron. So far I’m trained to get up in middle of the night on HIS schedule 
actually doing well, slept until 4AM this morning.
He just discussed the doves walking on the lanai by pool. Got his attention.

We're 100% on the same page, David, especially the NIMBY/Greenie part. But loggers won't help the vast numbers of small property owners such as myself that don't have the big trees the loggers are after. I'm safe here thanks in large part to a neighbor that loves to drive his bulldozer at cost, but even then it wasn't cheap to clean this place up. And it's an increasing handful every year to keep it that way. But if your neighbor lets his property go, it can really mess you up. Just last night on the news, a young man told of watching two towering pines on his neighbor's property explode in flames, which then proceeded to shower his home in sparks. In moments it too was blazing, and there wasn't a thing he could do to stop it.
