Good Morning!!!! 68F @ 6:45AM. Partly cloudy. High 93F. Winds light and variable.
Way too warm for this early in the year.
Nice job with the glue, Drew. I won't complain if you have to cover up any light leaks with black electrical tape. That'll add a nice RedNeck flourish.
Your note about the birdbath sprinkler reminds me to see if the one here is still getting water from the drip system, or if I need to start filling it by hand. The only time the pump on the sprinkler runs is in direct sunlight, though.
That's a LOT of sore fish lips, Mark. Also sounds like way too much fun!
I once told an attorney in a courtroom that the only sure cure for recidivism was the death penalty. Didn't make it onto that jury, either.
Just my opinion, but there really is no way to prevent a crazed person from committing another mass shooting. Access to firearms, anywhere in the world, is such that anyone can get one if they work hard enough at it and break enough laws without getting caught. That leaves the response when it happens. Do you hope the person lives to make it to a court room? Or is some prepared witness to the act able to nip it in the bud and stop the person before it becomes a mass killing? That approach seems to work in ****** and other places...
KJC, the system here uses 2 @ Outback FM100-D00VDC Charge Controllers. One of them was DOA upon installation, but they were easy enough to get at the time that it didn't take them long to replace it. Lithium batteries have a very flat voltage vs. discharge curve, so it's tricky to set the parameters for the charge controllers. I'm told lead/acid batteries are somewhat easier to work with, if that matters in your system.
Yesterday the contractors finished framing the porch cover and got a coat of primer on it, and now we're waiting to find a roof contractor. Once that's done, we'll know what color roofing steel is available, and can get on with picking compatible colors for the paint on the house. I noticed that the plywood on the underside of the porch roof has created something of an echo chamber on the back porch now. Somewhat distracting when I'm making a phone call out there.
Busy day yesterday running errands in the morning, starting with a trip to the Oroville PO to pick up a certified letter. Had to sign for it in person. It was from a lumber store used by the porch work contractor, as he'd required them to sign a lean waiver when he bought materials from them. It seemed rather retaliatory to me, making me go out of my way so far to get their letter, which only contained information I already knew.
Then a long drive to Chico for new gate batteries and other stuff. Got home after lunch, and spent the rest of the day doing little jobs like installing mud flaps on the Camry and the batteries on the gate. Had to reprogram the keypad again, but it seems to be working now.
Also finished packing for a trip to SoCal today, and have a couple of new listings to look at, though neither one of them are especially promising. I'll at least get to meet the new realtor in person, though.
Hang in there gang, Friday's comin'!
