Good Morning
66 with a high of 75 under mostly cloudy, but dry skies today.

Yesterday was a wonderful day to be outside, but I spent the morning inside on the computer doing paperwork. Went out after lunch to fly models at the club field. Took the string trimmer for a walk when I got home. And went to change the compressor after that. The new compressor was different than the one that came out, the potential relay was unmarked, wasn’t sure how to connect it, so I’m waiting for documentation.

Off to Martha’s Vineyard, Ogdensburg, and home this morning, should be home by noon. Not sure what I’ll get into when I get back, hopefully finish the compressor.

Now that I put all that effort into getting my generator is all back on line, it’s unlikely that I’ll ever have another power outage! But that’s even better than having the generator.

Good morning! 73˚F before sunrise, heading to just the mid 90s North wind, partly cloudy skies, humidity 89%. It looks like we will have 2 our 3 days only in the upper nineties stoping our 100˚ streak! But the hundreds return toward the end of the week - it is still August.

Now that my knee is working again might try that Costco run that I did not do last week or clear out the garden this morning.

70 going to 78...likely showers off and on all day, again.

Got a few small things done and watched some baseball in the afternoon.

Kil, I put those spouts on my wish list...will measure my can openings before ordering. I bought one of the spouts sold for "water" cans years ago, but it's about worn out. Fortunately, all of my plastic gas cans except one were purchased before the newfangled spouts were mandated. I treat them like heirlooms.

Luckily, gas can spouts are two standard thread sizes, so the kits work on all but one or two oddballs that haven’t been made in ages…

I do recommend, when drilling for the vent cap, to turn the bit s l o w l y to get the biggest chips possile1;$ then let the flutes cut them off rather than spin at high speed and possibly get debris into the tank. YMMV

i can honestly say that, since installing these, I have almost totally eliminated spillage compared to the new “spilroof” nozzles —- with which I have put more fuel on the ground than I ever did with the old-style nozzles.

Good Morning!

God has given us another chance to get it right (or at least not screw up too badly).

69F going to low 80s, afternoon showers forecasted. Had some afternoon rains yesterday, so we did OK not running irrigation on Saturday.

Harry was a terror at the groomers, Bailey was zero problems as usual. At least they both smell good now! we had them do a Furminator brush out on Bailey - she is a shedding MACHINE! — and she came out looking smaller than when she went in.

We got back too late (and it was too wet) to pick up the carport, but today we will see the lady at her job and pay her and make arrangements to pick it up later today. So today’s activities include emptying the pickup bed (and maybe hosing it out from two years of accumulated schmutz) and putting in a couple pallets (including a 6-footer) to support the pieces a bit beyond the tailgate.

Trip to chiro this afternoon. Maybe we can schedule carport pickup before that…

i hope everyone has a happy healthy safe blessed day!

72 outside this AM. May touch 80. 91% humidity. Maybe some rain later. Hopefully.

Busy weekend. But I did manage to get up on the roof of the Milk House and remove part of the chimney to below the roof line. Unfortunately it was exhausting. Legs all bent out of normal directions, hip, knees. Dang. Need to take up some serious stretching going forward. Just exhausting.

Today and this week I will attempt to remove the chimney bricks in the attic. Hopefully it remains below 90 so I can work up there.

Hope all have a great day, a good start to the work week. Be safe. Those ailing, wishing you get better.

Morning all, 71 going up to 80 and partly cloudy.
Got patches cut and ready to go up where ceiling had to be cut for pipe repairs a few months ago.
Have people showing up for new boiler quotes.

Anyone want an old HS Tarn wood/oil burner ? Will be sad to see it go.

Power out at 2am, back at 3am, wonder what broke. Wonder if same issue as over at Drew's since same time? That would be a lot more than 900 houses.

Time to order mini-split? Could use a second job right about now.

Be well,
