Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

looks like a traditional rain maker headed North, sucking water out of the Gulf and sending
it north on a 45 degree angle
or so it appears
rain coming in at noon
going to leave car outside since it's not going to freeze and I'll take
any free car washing I can get with all the salt dust everywhere.

I turned my outside hose back on two days ago and did a quick wash on the car.
Really wanted to get salt off as much as possible.
I did remember to turn the outside water off in the basement, and take the nozzle off.
wrecked a few forgetting to do that.
But that old fashioned Goodyear black rubber garden hose has now been half buried and left outside for five years, and
seems to be just fine. Good stuff. Maybe being sentimental because Goodyear Rubber used to have a plant here locally in Trenton NJ. So it's gone through at least a dozen freeze thaw cycles and still seems ok.
As the guy on the tool testing show says
that's impressive

I would have thought some high tech plastic hose would last longer, but usually their cheap fittings fail.

there is only one outside spigot on this cottage so I have to improvise by running a hose around to rear of house.
only thing good about one spigot is it's better than none.
