35 degrees with light frost here at the east edge of WA State, light wind and still wet from the past couple days rain. Little bit of sun is melting the frost from the metal barn roof. Drained and rolled most of the hoses, stored 'em for winter. The rhubarb and tomatoes are bidding goodbye to the last of the warmer weather. Time to roll out a bale of straw to freshen the mulch on the garden. A touch of frost nip on the fingertips from handling cold tools and equipment. Snow forecast is slightly above my elevation, but lowering.
welcome!

Good Morning
It’s 61 and not really moving throughout the day. another foggy morning, clearing later today.

Yesterday went by pretty quickly, still cleaning up from the weekend’s festivities. The 5 gallon water heater in the shop is fine for washing hands, but when I do anything significant in the big concrete slop sink, I run out of hot water pretty quickly. Cleaning a dozen chafing dishes put me over the edge, I’m installing an 18kw tankless heater today. That will make over 2GPM of hot water continuously.

Still a few clean up tasks, but they are dwindling. Still have to return my buddy’s Sprinter, and have to consolidate a lot of trash and recycling and get it to the street tomorrow.
Have an eye doctor appt this am, after that, I’ll get to work.
My former Boss had me look into a high end tankless, but when I told him that we have circulation pumps, and those don't fare well with "On Demand", that it was a waste of money.. Also we were going 3 phase, and the power it needed to operate was no cost savings.

You guys can't complain about diesel prices. I paid over $102 for a half tank in the Ranger yesterday. (about 42 litres from memory) That was the cheapest servo. Most are around $1.33.9 per litre. Cheaper to drive the Mustang at the moment.
While shopping yesterday I noticed my toe getting sore while walking around. Now I have full on gout in my right big toe. Hard to walk around so won't be doing much today. Luckily I took some tablets last night but still had a very bad night.
Going to be very hot today. Dreading Summer.

Diesel here still just below $5/gallon American. But it will go up. Fill your tanks guys.

Need to go to Lowes to buy some shoe and round moulding trim. Want to take car to save gas...60 mile round trip. Will take reciprocating saw to make sure I can fit the pieces in the car. Only need about 3 pieces of 8' lengths.

Son caught a nice bass this morning in our pond. Best smile on him I've seen in a while.

Wife and stepdaughter are still out...no idea where they are, but they should be in Lebanon, NH shopping.

Checked the oil in the tractor...all good. Otherwise, I'm dog sitting Margeaux who hates being alone. Any chores can wait...

For you dog lovers, a great and sweet video:
