Good morning!!!!

[Eric Salop]

Good morning all. Neither me nor the dog wanted to stand still for too long outside this morning, not while the dew is doing it's magic act of turning invisible air into water, it's condensing out everywhere.

Sometimes I still get a little lost in deciding how cold or hot everyone is on the other side of the pond. It was all Fahrenheit until I got to my teens, then along came Centigrade, which somehow over the years morphed into Celsius, so when I read posts it often helps me if I do an F to C conversion. I thought Ed was a little on the cool side at only 14.45 C and only today did I realise the number I had mistakenly read as a temperature was actually how many trips round the sun he has taken ! :ashamed: A very belated happy birthday ED !

Wife got me some sheep leather to make a wallet from. Have to learn some more about leather work before I try that one.

Have fun with your leather work - sheep often stitch me up and lighten my wallet

Also need to get backhoe on tractor for another neighbor's project. Wife and I plan a call to our friend and his wife. I am sure the need some support.
Good Morning All.

68 going to 81 with some clouds...no rain expected from Jose according to NOAA, but local weather lady says maybe from outer bands.

We've been feeding a pair of yellow and black garden spiders the last month...catching grasshoppers and horseflies and placing them gently into the web...great fun watching how fast the spider runs to the prey and how fast it wraps it up in web. They have each grown to huge size, and now created their big egg sacks. One is attached to the screen on one of the back sliding doors, so been easy to watch. My son says how strange to see his parents feeding pet spiders.

Someone is going to have to teach me how to turn a pic 180˚ on an iPhone.

After debating back and forth I decided to go with the ancel BA101 battery tester. Got it today and did a test run on my Subaru
It failed the test. I thought I got a bad tester because I have no problems starting the car. I then went to check my truck and tractor battery and they passed. I realized the battery on the Subaru is 5 years old. Looks like it save me from being stranded, already paid for itself and I haven't even tested Dad's tractor battery - the only reason I bought it.

As you can tell the charge is OK but it failed the both load tests - the sitting in vehicle, and the cranking test. It did pass the charging test so the alternate and regulator are ok.


Ron, sorry to hear about your RV friend, and I pray hospice will keep him comfortable his last days.

Don, where did you buy your Ancel? I've found them on Amazon for $54.99 with prime shipping and a EBay for $42.30 and free shipping from Los Angeles area.

Are you getting all the Love Bugs in your area Don? They showed up here last Tuesday. Mowing on Zero turn yesterday was not fun at times.
