As we haven’t had particularly sunny days of late, rainy season has arrived, PV production has been down with having generator having to contribute. My Kohler 14 RESA propane is primary. I also have a Honda EU7000 as a backup. Have not run in several months so figured a good time to let it run and contribute. Started right up but quit after 10-15 seconds. Guess it needed a refill. About half full it seemed the odor of gas was stronger than expected. Soon after I finished, I noticed the tank wet around the rim. Tank was rusted through. Still almost 2 weeks shy of having this generator 5 years!!!
So this afternoon I have a replacement tank on order. As with most things for me, had to find the balance between price and shipping costs, not an item available via Amazon Prime.
I do have to wonder how long it has been rusted and I just didn’t know as the fuel level was below the rust. Less than 5 years - disappointing.

42°F and light rain this morning, only got up to 47° this afternoon. Rained most of the day, and was misty in-between.

Sad day at the Smith house. Our oldest cat, Katniss, finally succumbed to the kidney disease she'd been fighting for the last five years. Found her this morning laying in the hallway downstairs, mostly unresponsive. Took her to the vet, who told us there was nothing she could do for her, except euthanasia. So, she left us today after almost 11 years. She was a good kitty, and is already missed.

Not a lot else got done today. Wife was feeling better today, but still not great. I seem to have made it past most of the cold symptoms. Still have a bit of a stuffy head, but that's it.

Good evening, all.

Afternoon all!
Good news David!
Just got back from eye doctor visit with the wife too. My eyes are showing no change since last visit so next one is a year later.
Her eyes are showing a great improvement after the last procedure! Yay! Pressures are way down and macular is stable! Hopefully can hold off blindness for a few more years!
Been keeping busy in the wood shop making gifts. Got that done and now am working on a sleigh and reindeer display.
Two of the deer are ready for sanding and finish.

Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

Sorry to hear about Katniss. We had a cat that was 23 years old before it died. We still miss her she used the bathroom and learned to flush. She was very vocal.
