Good morning!!!!

67°F and .82 inches rain

Did have some unwanted excitement yesterday about an hour before leaving for H&F. Both dogs got outside the fence. Lower neighbor has a project running a water line from the stream up to his house along our common fence. While I had heard the workers, I never visually saw the work being done. They dropped the line on my side the fence. Makes sense as it is the clean side as We keep it mowed and weedwacked. Now that becomes challenging, but the big problem is I have cross fencing that joins perpendicular. They didn’t tie it back together allowing a place for dogs to escape (and pigs get in).

Luckily one of the upper neighbors saw them and let us know. Likely only gone a couple of hours and recovered before it started raining. Had a talk with neighbor about the pipe work.
I was civil, but highlighted that as dropped pipe was subject to mower and weedwacker damage.

Rain forecast for today. Might take advantage and go to town

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

I mentioned early this morning that it was 61°, but the north wind has been blowing, temperature falling, and now just befor 11 a.m. it's down to 39° and still falling. And hoped for rain that we had (briefly) early only gave us about .05" before it moved on east. So far this year, my total rainfall for the year is just under 3/4".

Bird, do you have to get a roadworthy inspection before your fego can be renewed yealy?
Some states here require that but not Queensland.
It is the owners resposibility to keep his car roadworthy or risk a fine. A Safety Certificate is required if you intend selling your vehicle.
Police may give your vehicle a check if they pull you over for anything. (Tyres, damage etc) If they find anything they will put a sticker on your car and you can't remove it or drive the vehicle until repairs are carried out and you can produce a new safety cert/roadworthy to the police who then remove the sticker.

Isn't a great feeling knowing you'll be retired soon, and idiots like that no longer need to be a part of your life anymore?

You have no idea!

One good thing about the email I sent this morning......He hasn't spoken to me at all today.

"I wonder if the big rig service centers are able to get it?"

For the most part, no. But it also appears to depend on the additive packages in the hydraulic oil. Rather basic oils seem to be available. The high end oils used in modern construction and industrial equipment, not so much. The high end additive packages are simply not available to blend the oil.

I have suggested they use one of our fire resistant/environmentally safe oils which is a phosphate ester based fluid. But the cost is a problem. And that specific fluid does not play well with any other oil. But it is an incredibly good hydraulic fluid.

Rain here today. Probably 4" to "5 so far

We had gully washers from around 6:30 till 11:00am.

It would let up enough so you would pop your head out. And then dump again.

Was blowing and pouring so bad that water was seeping through the seams on the overhead doors in the shop.

Cabbed forklift has been the most popular mode of transportation around the yard this morning

In my last post, I mentioned that I just got my car serviced yesterday at the dealer. So early this morning I decided to go ahead and order and pay for the registration renewal. As many do, I used to go to the DMV office, wait in line, and renew in person. However, for several years now, I've just renewed online, and in fact, it's $1.00 cheaper if you do it online. Now it has always been quick and simple to renew online . . . . not anymore! I finally gave up early this morning, went and ate breakfast, then started over. I've NEVER in the past, had to answer so many questions and enter everything off my driver's license, as well as everything from my other forms of ID, and credit card. I began to wonder if they were going to require a blood sample. But anyway, I finally got it done.

Strange, I also renewed my vehicle registration this morning online and did not have to enter my DL number or other forms of ID. Are you sure you were on the right website. Only name address and cc# were required.

We got our "free" tests today from Uncle Sam. Anyone notice where they were made? ITOTKO.

not a productive day
Hospital called thankfully early enough and cancelled my procedure. Said they had an emergency.
Ok...next tuesday

so I'm studying spreadsheets for a school board finance meeting tonight,
and doing some research for socially responsible/green mutual funds for both my church and the school.

decided it would be fun to have a metal detector to search the SC beaches in May at family reunion, so I ordered a
modest one with a carry bag and a sand scoop. I've had one before, they are a good way to kill some time. Had it shipped to my brother
in VA to drive it down so I don't have to haul it on the train. On the way back I don't care if my dirty clothes get a little sand on them...

I checked the test kits I had, same brand, also made in China, sold by Amazon.
