Good morning!!!!

Ron, great pic. I also added looking for the grease sale at TSC for next time I go...thanks LS.

Went back out to feed birds...even though porch thermometer says 41F, there are patches of frost on the roof...none on ground or on the truck, though. Not ready for killing frost...usually expect it in mid-October.

Kyle...wishing your bride many many more trips around the sun.

Adding on, guess I wasn't finished beaching.
When we moved in, 2 weeks ago, I tried going around and labeling all the wall switches. Figured out all but 1, and it's still an orphan.
I'm betting that somewhere there's a switched outlet that's not real obvious. Can't figure out any other reason for a switch to be on a living room wall.
One possible - across the room and down a short dead end hall (between bedrooms) there's an outlet 5' high in the end wall. What possible reason for that odd placement? Clock, lit picture? I dunno. I'll get a plug-in lamp and see if the switch controls it.

I wasn't expecting September to be this cool. 36 this morning. The heat has been on for the last week. Good working weather but dry and dusty. The grass has slowed down so I can keep up with it mowing once a week. The corn at the farm is drying out nicely. Won't be too long till it gets harvested. Still getting green beans and tomatoes from the garden. The local peaches are real good. Honeycrisp apples are in.

mpham.
"Got the mower off and the snow blower mounted to the rear of the tractor."
You know something about old man winter coming early this year.

16 Thomas days and only 8 more actual work days to go!
Kinds like Christmas count down when we were tadpoles.

Ron, I once flew to eastern Algeria to replace a relief valve that I had told the dealer and customer was the problem. Both told me I didn稚 know what I was talking about. And both convinced management it was a massive failure and had basically ordered a complete new hydraulic system to install. I was sent to supervise. But I hand carried the relief valve and had the machine fixed and back in service 45 minutes after arriving at the mill. There were lots of red faces.

Good morning. It's a very comfortable 63° this morning with a North wind at 6 mph. Our high is forecast to only get to 82° this afternoon.

It's becoming less likely that "Beta" will bring us meaningful rain this week. We've now got 7 big burn piles but .. I'd like a bit of rain prior to lighting any of them.

I pushed out three more long dead trees, in the far reaches of our "horse pasture" yesterday. I'll need to cut them into 10-12' sections today, in order to get between trees and to the closest burn pile.

Then, I mowed about half of the 9 acres around the house yesterday .. just in case we do actually get some rain this week.

Kyle .. Happy Birthday to your bride.

Drew .. good luck with your upcoming move.

Where's Jay?

Hope everyone has a peaceful Sunday.

Prayers to all.

Good Morning!!!! 64F @ 5:00AM. Sunny. Areas of smoke and haze are possible, reducing visibility at times. High around 90F. Winds light and variable.
AQI 78 and 194, inside and out. Time to get the mask out again...

Hope you find the answer to the mystery outlet, ChuckT. Have you got the breaker panel figured out yet?

Always nice when a new neighbor turns out to be a nice guy, Thomas!

There have been a couple of mulch piles spontaneously combust out here, RS. Might want to kee 'em spread out so they don't get so hot.

Good luck with your electronics shopping, Drew. Amazon reviews are good for helping to sort through the new names out there...

Yesterday turned into more of a putter day than I thought it would. Started off by replacing the wire to the outlet on the workbench, now there's a ground where there should have been all along.

Checked the alternator bearings, and they're fine, as was the belt tension. Turns out the AC and power steering pump share a different belt, and tightened that one again so it doesn't slip. Pulled both alternator connections and treated them to a DeOxIt bath, checked battery connections, too, and now alternator warning lamp stays out, at least in the driveway it does. We'll see if it stays that way next trip to town. Maybe it doesn't like hot weather?

Tried again to add a Power over Ethernet injector and network switch to the generator housing. The LED in the PoE injector still didn't come on, but it did power the switch, so now it's all set for another security camera out there. Which has been on backorder for a few weeks now.

Added another magnet to one of the garage door sensors that stopped working, and now it's happy.

Started a firmware update on the network box, and it's still running. Something's not right there, so will have to fuss with it after breakfast.

Wishing you all a pleasant and peaceful Sunday...

Three of us once got a coast-to-coast trip to fix a PC running data acquisition software. Turns out someone had left a notebook resting on the keyboard, and all it needed was a restart. :confused2:
