Good morning!!!!

Now you need a companion for giving back rubs.

yes, known that for some time. But I'm high maintenance and picky, back rubs lead to other rubs...
Seriously I wonder if Medicare pays for medical neck massage.

Newbury, sort of vacillates, lady or dog. Dog or lady. Probably ought to get one...
Dog can't drive an rv though. But I've had 3 wives. And too old fashioned to have friends with benefits.
A quagmire of vacillation and risk avoidance.
but who knows, keeping an open mind. And a dim view.
cute puppy from the SPCA is starting to grow on me.

looks like I'll get some first year blackberries in a month if the deer don't eat them. All the berries need to be netted to expect
anything to last. I have a little, probably should cut a couple of pieces and put them over these two bunches. the white electric fence is obviously off.

Is the system that are putting is a mini-split? If so you will most likely need adapters for your manifold, as the ports on most mini splits are 5/16 rather than the 1/4 of the rest of the industry, including your manifold. Looks like you have an orbital type flaring tool in the collection, as well as nitrogen bottle, I don’t see anything missing. (Assuming there is a regulator for the N2 bottle somewhere).
A bottle of Nylog is a good thing for making the flares and connecting them as well.
A micron gauge is an important piece as well, considering that you measured from 760,000 down to 10. You don’t have that resolution on your analog manifold!

Yes it is a one ton Pioner mini-split. Thanks for your comments. I can see you are familiar with what it takes. Yes I have the adapters and N2 regulator. Also have the micron gauge and valve core removal tools (One of them is 5/16 inch) to isolate the micron gauge from oil contamination when opening for the condenser to flow in the refrigerant The analog gauge set is not strictly required. I will rely on the micron gauge to monitor the vacuum and hold it for a period of time maybe a couple of hours. Also have a bottle of Nylog for the flares. I am wondering about bending the line set down as it exits the wall. Being close to the wall may not be practical to use the bending tools and may have to form it by hand carefully to avoid kinks.

I found my John Deere tub toy.
It's a little big but manageable.
Geez so much to do with it, pretend I'm RS
watering his flowers, putting out the big fire just in time all by myself,
a quick knock down as they say, and it likely floats.

hmmm, what am I going to do for a PTO?

Up way late this morning!! Was up for a few hours in the middle of the night

66° right now...high to be in the low 80's

Chores....dump run is about it, I think. I brought work home with me, but it ain't gonna happen today.
Maybe trim the lawn, if it needs it

Glad it's not just me that has trouble sleeping. Pain in shoulder woke me about 10.45 and couldn't get back to sleep at all. Not even for a minute. Can't work out why I'm not tired. 2 days ago I woke up with a real ballsy problem. 1 was 3 times the size for some reason. Very painful but pain mostly gone now but still oversized. I'd be quite proud if I wasn't so worried. Dr on Tuesday... again. Also USS guided needle into that shoulder so hopefully this time it will be successful.

Managed to clear a tree off my bush track the other day. Neighbour informed me it had come down. Took the electric chainsaw and cut it up then pushed it with the FEL. Neighbour arrived to watch. He found the tree when he tried to sneak down my track in his 4x4 then he got bogged. Took him some time to get his truck out and he was embarrassed that he cut the track up so bad. Serves him right but overall he is a good neighbour.
Still trying to teach the new pup not to dig our shrubs up. Difficult process and costly.
Congratulations on 45 year goal mostly.
I'm sure folk keep adding pages here as I try to read and catch up. A near impossible task at times.
Have a good day all.

Got this veg out of my garden today. Do you know what it is?
Hint, it is not a squash.

Eggplant?

Having 2nd thoughts about my bright idea of the cardboard in the garden. Got it all laid out, single layer and proceeded to hose down. Sun hot enough that
It was drying before i could finish. Guess one of those lawn sprinklers could work. My thinking was get enough rain to thoroughly soak, then hit with tiller.

My new neighbor has decided to cut down all the trees and shrubs that created a privacy fence between us and then he texted me if it I would mind after he did it. What would you do? interesting in your suggestions?

 

[txdon]

. . . playing fetch with the dog. Not a bad way to pass time.

Whose dog??
Whipper still cannot fetch.

I would just say. "Whether I like it or not I don't have any say now do I?"
