Good morning!!!!

Busy at work today. donut at a 2 pm meeting was lunch, lol.
Measuring current draw of an amp as frequency changes. Also Pin vs Pout, ip3 readings.

Home late.
I ordered an LTE camera for the farm the other day on Amazon, then cancelled the order while it was still in the order state, to order same camera with a solar charger. They didnt cancel. First one arrived today, the one I want comes thursday. Now gotta send first one back. Over $200 camera.
Trying to see if I can add to my Verizon shared data account for $20 month, or go with T-Mobile 2GB data only plan for $10 month. I know Verizon works there, checking to see if any family has T-Mobile to know if it works there.
T-Mobile has a 5GB $20 month plan, maybe I should put one in an LTE router and just connect the cameras I already have there.

Wunderground showing low of 43° and it’s 28° out now.

Floods.
Well I am 73 so I'm allowed to be stupid.
I got caught today. I had to go get petrol for the mower at Grantham. 1st ford was ok. Drove slowly as my air cleaner pickup is low in the Honda. No problem. Next ford at Sandy Creek was a bit deeper. Keeping in mind the air cleaner I drove slowly and got through without a problem. Got to Grantham and massive flooding and roads closed. Bugger. Turned around to come home and got to Sandy Creek again. Hmmm looked a bit higher but I just went through OK so I drove slowly and suddenly realised I was driving into the current, not with it as I did before. Bugger. It was deeper and the car snuffed right in the middle. Hmmmm.
So I got out and it was over my knees by now and flowing quicker than 10 minutes ago.
Hung onto the car and pulled the hood and worked my way to the front of the car and removed the air intake from the flooded air cleaner box. Then got back in the car to find it full of water. Bugger. Wound the starter about 20 times and it was trying to fire up. Engine warning light on, muffler full of water. Then a cloud of steam out the back and a few hiccups and managed to crawl out of the water. Car was in limp mode so could only get about 15 kph. Drove a bit and barely got up the hill so when I got to the top I stopped. Car was idling sweet so I took a chance and turned it off. I flicked the key on and off half a dozen times and then started it again. Engine light went off and back to full power again. Drove home with tail between legs and sucked 3 shop vacs full of water out of the floor. It is now parked in the new barn, all doors open and battery disconnected to let it dry out. I should have taken the Ranger wifey says. Yeah..

Poured first cup of coffee. 23° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 40° with cloudy skies. Yesterday ended up being a conserve energy day. Snow is melting enough for weather station to give a rain report. .32" Going to spend the day with my Aunt. May get a little shopping in with her.
Lots of heathy looking critters at my feeders.

Alien, 73 and you have not learned that gas can wait for another day? I have no idea what you going to do when you are my age in 6 years. Glad you made it home safe.

Bakerg, good you found time to check in.

Everyone stay safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.

Good morning all.
37 going up to 47 today in sun with rain coming in tonight.

Alien, so sorry you got wet. Was this in your new Mustang?

off fairly early this morning to go visit MIL, age 92, in assisted living in Doylestown. I just found out one of
her best friends, that are still alive..., is moving into her same building. She will be thrilled about that, they used to knit
for years together. Now neither can knit

Driving my brother's M5 today, he went to Florida and dropped off his car for the week. Don't think I'll be holding traffic up at the lights...

Gary, welcome back. Great pics of your JD project. I grew up with a B so your tractor brought smiles.

Headed to Home Depot today with my fat file on Rubbermaid, and will ask for a refund. This should be interesting.

Drew, good luck with shed return.

 

[Alien]

Not the Mustang. Lol. The Honda. Reason I needed petrol was for my ride-on mower which ran out of gas near the road and I wanted to shift it. Too heavy to push.

 

[Alien]

Here's one for Ron. King parrots come for a feed and one spotted the game cam and decided to have a closer look..

 

[daugen]

Not the Mustang. Lol

car is too nice to mess up...

with the electronics on a modern car, water in the car is not your friend.
Shop that detailed my truck put a small ozone generator in cab to kill any microbes, anything actually.
Might help in your wet Honda to prevent mold in all your heat.

Very cool bird. Love the red. Now if it starts to talk to you...

@Alien - I recovered fine. I am recounting what happened 1 year ago when I had Covid. I seem to be reliving it in my head. Recounting what happened is doing some good.

And please keep recounting. The war with Covid is not over yet.
