Good morning!!!!

[Wagtail]

Randy(wag) sorry about calendar not transferring to new computer. I keep that on the phone calendar.

HA! I didn't (don't) know you can do that... mind you, I've stated that I've had to be dragged into the 21st Century before and this would apply.

Besides that, this whole scenario started when I attempted to 'upgrade' to my new my mobile phone.

All's well with the day and I'll report tomorrow morning.

62° now, dew point 59°, high around 75° and sunny today!
1st time in a while the dew point has been below 60°. Did manage to get mowing, trimming etc. done last Saturday and its been raining since. Sure wish we could share some rain with others in the drought areas.

Off to do some grocery shopping this morning then run the generator for awhile in case hurricane Lee comes closer than they “predict” this weekend. Other than that just enjoy some puttering around.

Prayers for those in need
Enjoy your day everyone

58 outside this AM. Heading to upper 70's. 86% humidity.

Went looking for a camper with and for the daughter yesterday. She is thinking about heading out west in a few months. It was fun looking at all the various setups and the technology now-a-days. Mini-mobile homes with lots of "city" features. Me, when I use to camp it was matches, some hardtack and jerky, a bottle, compass and sleeping bag. To say I was out of my league wandering around the floor would be appropriate.

She came home with a lot of paperwork. It will be interesting to hear if she settles on one she was bargaining on.

Hope all have a great day. Be safe.

Good Morning!!!! An even 70F @ 4:00AM. Abundant sunshine. High 97F. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph.

I have had the M62 Kubota go into regen when just doing a short time task, and that has had me parking it on a fire safe surface and letting it complete the cycle. It has taken as long as 15 minutes to do so; not very convenient, especially in summertime when the grasses are dry, brown, and very flammable. Most of the time, though, I'm mowing or some other task that takes a while, and then I hardly notice the regen has started. Mostly just a flashing light on the dash. So all in all, regen of the DPF isn't as big a deal as I was afraid it would be.

I think it's a good thing you stuck to your price limit, Kyle. Especially on a used vehicle, one that could have seen a pretty tough service life, leading to the possibility of some big repair bills. Bide your time and stick to your price discipline, and eventually your patience will be rewarded. Oh, and I also think Drew and I should know how you determined how much hair a lady you might be interested in had on her chest...

Up early then couldn't get back to sleep, so will get an early start on today's drive and beat the traffic through Sacramento. Probably pay for it with a drowsy afternoon, though.

A friend came over yesterday and we got a little more work done on the VW, figuring out the propane tank mounting and drilling a couple holes in the floor for gray water drain and the propane line. Then we got a couple motorcycles loaded into the van, then some furniture, then a whole bunch of boxes. Probably the heaviest load yet, as more than a few of those boxes were loaded with books and magazines. Good thing I have help lined up to unpack this afternoon.

Hang in there, gang, Friday's comin'!

Good Morning!

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

58.8F going to upper 70s, chance of scattered showers in the afternoon.

Yesterday’s activities, went well, Subaru brakes working properly (YAY!!!), got in good conversation with one of the owners About property management with heavy equipment and tractors, got into detailed tractor discussion, next thing is she takes us out back to see her fathers John Deere, it looks like a model B, it got badly neglected in his later years and she wants to fix it up, so she will probably be here before long , hubby is into ford galaxie 500s and original J100/J1000 pickups, showed her photos of our Willys Wagoneer, we are all best buds now.

Today will start with moving about 6 armloads of wood from the other fence line rocks to completely fill the big woodshed, taking dogs o woodlot for a walk and bringing the splitter back home to process the pine rounds this weekend, then some house puttering before going to a fundraiser dinner tonight.

I hope everyone has a happy healthy safe blessed day!

Nice balmy and sticky this morning. walked out to.the beach and got pictures for my wife.

I think the kids are gonna catch he!! when they get home from Europe. She's a little ticked off that she couldn't join me here.

Catered breakfast starts in a few minutes. Then a dog and pony show from our diesel laptop supplier for 90 minutes.

Then........ an intercoastal fishing trip

There's one other person from Arkansas here much to my surprise.... I've know the person for years. We had a couple people from corporate shaking their heads when we pounced on them for some app issues that we weren't happy with

All in all besides missing my wife, it's been a decent trip so far

Do those diesel laptops take DEF or do they have regenerators?

Morning all;
A nice sunny comfortable morning here at 55f, the humidity is a bit high outside my meter is just showing HH out of range.
The dew was heavy enough it looks almost like it has rained again but not.

Drew, I thought about you last night. The other day I used one of my multi-meters and didn't trust the readings as it is beeping and showing a lead mis-connection. Last night I changed batteries in both of my digitals and checked the fuses found the ma/A blown in the old Radio Shack digital. But wonder of wonders back when it was built they even included a spare fuse in a compartment inside the case. Replaced that fuse and that meter is 100% again, I'll have to pickup a 250V 500ma fuse again for a spare. The other more expensive "better" meter is still displaying a lead error even though it is working and measuring correctly,
at least on volts and ohms and hz.

Do those diesel laptops take DEF or do they have regenerators?

Na, but I hear many of them require dongle's which are just as bad.

Friend of mine leaves this morning for vacation in Maine. Waiting to see how that goes.
Found out yesterday the road thru harpers ferry is closed till December. That’s the route I take going south to hit I81.
63° and sunny. Waiting till tomorrow to head south to mow so wife can go with me.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Don’t think my reboost repair worked. Still only 1 bar on phone. It lights up like it’s working, but it did that with the input broken off.

While I'm not a hairy man, I have a good crop on my top, but I'm starting to have to shave a bit further down on my neck to get all the old man wild hairs....I hardly have any chest hair. Remember in the 80's when men would wear big gold chains with real hairy chests? And now, many women don't care for hairy chests after all. Lucky for me. My old rule of thumb, women had to have less chest hair than me if they wanted me to date them. LOL.

Kyle, good laugh this morning, you should get together with Drew, and co author a book deal !

Unplanned trip included a delicious late lunch with Sophie at our favorite Japanese restaurant. Also opportunity to refill the diesel cans.

David, did you ever think about getting a portable diesel caddy with pump ? Might be easier than cans, they are available through Northern etc !

.Good Morning Guys,Ct 57 going to 73, Vt 51 going to 69. We are headed north this afternoon after taking care of two of the grands for the day ! Need to cut the grass here in Ct but everything is soaking wet from yesterdays monsoon rains.

Ken, Happy Anniversary !

 

[txdon]

Good morning! Total half inch rain yesterday and last night!!! YEA!
71˚F after sunrise, overcast day with a 30% chance of rain and the high is only in the low 80s, really feels like a season change.

I sure hope Kyle got some rain also.
Happy Anniversary Ken!

 

[scott_vt]

Good Morning,
So finally on September 14th we have some nice fall weather ! Looking at the temps in Vermont, may need a small wood stove fire one morning !

Don, glad to hear you got some appreciable rain fall !

Yesterday afternoon went and helped unload 8500 lbs of food for our church food pantry ! That was the big news for yesterday !

Hope all have a blessed and safe day !

Got a little shelf built and installed in the upstairs unfinished catchall room. Put UPS & Starlink on it so far. One IP camera cable too short to put the switch on it yet. It’s camera I just installed on back of house. Don’t want to get ladder out already, but just now realized I didn’t seal around cable hole in soffit, and I better get it sealed somehow before it becomes a bug freeway to the inside.
Nice breeze on porch.

Good morning, 68 going to 76 no rain

Nice cooler day

Went down to Harpers Ferry yesterday and picked up some artisan bread from the baker shop
Lots of traffic around the main access road closed down for 3 months

The cruise ship stranded in Greenland fjord for days were running out of alcohol a big worry for the 200 passengers

 

[m7040]

A couple of teen bikers were in the road yesterday and used the airhorn to get them to move over. Slowed down to 15-20 MPH and then they went out again in front of me. Realized they were listening to music and did not hear anything. Pretty scary

“Share The Road” means “Bikers get to do whatever they &$@@ing want because traffic regs apparently do not apply to them….


yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, I shouldn’t let the 90% taint the good 10%…
