I am up late this morning, but it sure beats the alternative

But I had one left and the guy
there helped me replace. Or tried to. He couldn't either. There i

My cardiologist somewhat the same,every 4 month he schedules meet and greet and chat mostly about everything but what appointment for.
Doctor has very little sense of humor,I ask him question and confuse him. ;)
Good Evening Guys,

TxDon, thanks for rubbing it in ! :)

L4new,
Good humor there !:)

Drew, I just did the FOB for my wifes Honda, yes a bit of a pain, but O did get it to work. Yes, mine were the CR2032 also !

Thomas, yes, mostly a waste of time, had to move the Dr's appt to friday because work needs me tomorrow. Will take the money over going to see that guy any day ! Some football tonite !

Have a good evening !

I just had to give $3.899 for 87 reg. gas today.
Lots of running around today, I had a VA doctor appointment in the morning 45 minutes away,
got home finally and 30 minutes later almost the same route for my wifes afternoon appointment with her doctor.
At least while she was being see I went and got the truck washed and made an appointment for an oil change on it for tomorrow.
Pretty much a non-productive day, 3 hours + of running around and no contractor for my siding.

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 2.5C and it's presently 18C, clear and calm. There was 0.5mm in the gauge @0900.

Everything planned yesterday accomplished... today I'll tackle that wattle tree branch. Other than that I'm just getting back into my usual weekly retired routine. "Ahhhh..."😌

That's about it, take care all.

Found out some of the PA state parks now have full RV hookups. So trying to book one for few days next week, not too far away. Not sure if 50A also has a 30A hookup or not, it doesn't say 50/30. They shut down full hookups Oct 30. I ordered 50 to 30 adapter just in case.

49F, cloudy and wet @ 20:00, high was 54F with occasional light rain throughout the day. Rainfall since midnight was 0.06".

UPS delivered Cycle Stop Valve and Cycle Sensor earlier today.

Used some vinegar to soak the rusted bolts on the front panel of the softener then was able to loosen them with the B&D 20v impact and get them out and the front panel removed from the valve:

Looks pretty bad but it's still functional. Will clean it up as best I can before putting it back together.

Once I had that removed from the valve I was able to pull the piston assembly from valve:

The threads of the flow meter and output connection fitting are currently soaking, will try to separate them here in a few.

After that fashion a tool to pull the seals and spacers.

Just took the trash and recyclables up to the road and set the cans out.

Woman off to feed neighbor's cat.

Color coming in pretty nice, maybe another 4 - 7 days and we'll be at full peak:

Flowmeter removed and disassembled, brass body in the vinegar bath soaking.

Got the rest of the valve body all disassembled and seals and spacers pulled too:

It's brass parts are soaking in the vinegar bath as well ... (y)

Still have to pull the orifices out of the brine injector body but I needed a bigger screwdriver than what I had down there with me.

Good progress for the day.

Love the smell of coffee brewing in the morning. 43° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 54° with mix of sun and clouds. Got more garden cleanup done yesterday. Also washed car in the rain drizzle that stuck around most of the day. More of the same today.
Still a few flowers in bloom in the fields.

am off early this morning with rv back to auto radio shop, for second attempt to fix loose rear

RS, surprising number of parts in there, with all that corrosion, surprised it worked. Until it didn't...

Good morning! 38˚F, West wind turning Southerly warming up this afternoon with a cloudless sky to the upper 70s. Had to get up and close the window last night too cold.

Have to do some pre-op test at the hospital today, I forgot to ask them about fasting before the bloodwork, so I guess I better call them before I eat.
