Good evening! 3/4" of rain this evening. Yeah! The rain might make the gardens too muddy to move rocks out from a discontinued dry stream drainage bed with the FEL, will see in the morning.

I caught Penelope just fine as I have figured out her routine. She's an indoor/outdoor cat and spends a good portion of the morning outside doing her 'mouse patrol' and her 'business'. Afternoons are for napping inside, so that's when I arranged the appointment. I have to physically carry her as there is absolutely no way on God's green earth that she will go into a carrier. She sits on my lap whilst I'm driving the short distance to the Vet's in town and is good as gold going into the Vet's, being examined (although she's very indignant, understandably, when her temperature is taken), and returning home.

She's not even ticked-off that I took her to the Vet.

Happy Labor Day to those of us in US. Happy Monday to all others.

Dennis, I'd sure want to confirm what was in that tank. Makes sense it was water. funny you could decorate it and make a steam engine out of it for Christmas!

not much planned today. Likely will make a run to Popgadgets and pick up some pulled pork, bet that will be yummy, and I'll get an extra container for Ken and get that down to him.
We'll all be eating well this week.

had some free range burgers last night. They were half price at 5 bucks a pound. 10% fat, what fat there was was a bit chewy, and overall a good burger. But nothing
I'd pay ten bucks a pound for. You really need a little fat in burgers for good taste.

Wet weather due in tonight and tomorrow, system working it's way across the US. Flood warning already posted

Wagtail, "council rate" is property tax on your home? Head tax? Income tax?

hope everyone takes it easy today and enjoys their family

I like the water cannon! I'm sure more would go on them than the plants! Maeve would definitely get her brothers!

About five years ago I gave my best friend a rechargeable John Deere tractor for his grandchildren to use when they came and visited.
it was a little early, they weren't quite ready for it. So Grandpa carefully kept it in the garage, cleaned it, got a spare battery for it, and
both kids and grandfather had to be patient. And then the oldest boy wanted to ride it. So off they have gone. Next younger brother current driver, but
woe to them, their younger sister is now about to start driving. I think she's three. They get out of their car from NJ and run to the little tractor, it's pretty funny.
So....that water tanker I suggested for my hot tub toy is actually meant to go on the back of their little tractor.

I suggested to my friend that the kids could help in his garden and plant watering, he has lots of stuff growing too.
So maybe for Christmas Santa will bring them a water tanker.

Good morning! A cool 64˚F with that North rain yesterday evening. But it does not feel that cold because there is absolutely no breeze, very still outside. The sky is cloudless and the temps will quickly rise to the 90s.
Tractor work will have to be called off because of the mud, too bad I was looking forward to moving those rocks.

For 12k btu it likely has small OD lines, hopefully 1/4 and 3/8, both are pretty easily bent by hand. But it could be a good excuse to buy the Yellow Jacket bender with the outside adapter as well. Alloy Ratchet Tube Bender Kit - Yellow Jacket HVAC Supplies and Products

Are you using Slim Duct to bring it down the wall?

If you have the fittings and hoses, you can use your manifold to isolate the micron gaug

It is 1/4 and 1/2 inch lines. Have some benders that can make a bend close to the wall. I plan to make some test bends to see what diameter it ends up with and stand off distance from the wall. Have the plastic duct to cover up the line set and the first piece at the wall penetration has a hump in it that allow for may be a 4 or 5 inch radius in the lines. The lines inside the evaporator unit are normally bend out 90 degrees to go through the wall. In my case the thick brick wall will put the fittings for the line set in the wall. So plan to leave the lines as is on the evaporator and bend the line set 90 degrees to connect allowing for access to check for leaks during the nitrogen pressure test. Will have to block out the evaporator from the wall for access and wait with the bends outside the wall until after leak testing.

69, hotter than Texas. Going to 86, maybe rain tonight and tomorrow.

Lots of good stuff going on since I had time to visit.

First, Happy Anniversary to the Mostly lovebirds...and congrats on her winning the raffle.

Don, congrats on the new job...sounds like a neat place.

BEF, beautiful land...hope it works out. So much is going around in your head, planning, investigating, excitement...makes you feel young, I bet.

Buppies, such an interesting career...and good lesson regarding the battery story.

RNG, we are seeing "we" and "dog" in your stories...sounds good for you.

RS, dang old hornets. Feeling for you...I got stung in the ankle on the way out the porch to go to the mountains....big pain.

Son and DIL still here for the 3 day weekend...having fun...talking, hiking, visiting wineries, playing with their dogs.

Happy meterological spring to those down under.

61° now dew point 57° high’s in the mid to upper 60’s today with RAIN! Nice steady rain, could see 1-2” both today and tomorrow.
If I had known all I had to do was mention re-roofing the shed to make it rain I would have done that earlier this summer lol. We need the rain more than I need to re-roof shed.

No plans for today except energy conservation.

Enjoy your day everyone
