Good morning!!!!

[Looking4new]

Kyle, I hope it is ticking just like my 25 year watch that I got in 2010.

The Ambulance driver asked me what prompted me to call 911 seeing as I didn't know anything about stroke except that I could still stick out my tongue.
I told her that about 15 friends that I have never met face to face said to. So I did. Good advice guys. Thanks!

This was last weeks mowing.

Popgadget, I'm starting to believe you have 36 hours in a day....tig welds look better than mine by far.
I'm wanting to get a small spool of hard facing wire, to run a couple of beads on my lawnmower blades, then sharpen them.

I’ve always used SMAW or torch applied rod for hard facing.

Had a bobcat run across the road in front of me this morning. The animal, not equipment.

Need coffee this morning. 65° with thunderstorm this morning. Heading to 93° with thunderstorms ending by late morning. .41" rain so far. Fathers Day party was very enjoyable. 11 fathers were at party. Lots of kids enjoying the swimming pool. No plans for today. Probably stay out of the heat. House is still at 76°. I am sure AC will come on for the first time his year before the week is over.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

 

[riptides]

64 outside this AM, heading to 90.

Pretty quiet weekend. Two of three daughters stopped by for Father's day. A pleasant surprise for sure.

Heat expected to build up towards the weekend. Need to make sure the animals have ample water supplies handy. May cut grass one more time. Also need to get wife packed for her road trip.

Hope the week goes smoothly for all. Be safe.

 

[Buppies]

65 this morning high of 88 maybe storms but low chances

Good to hear from you PJ

Thanks mostly everything here is in a mess fighting all the time.

Prayers for all our Country

 

[daugen]

good Monday morning all
the heat is on for many of us, maybe even most of us, 90 here today, and getting hotter
hope lots of you had good times with family

haircut today around lunchtime, then I have to mow the lawn, more like mowing the clover.
And pleased to report honey bee buzzing in the clover near the garden outside. Another friend who brings in bees
for his garden, which I think is overkill, felt we had less bees now. Some blame pesticides, some blame ?

You guys are like friends I've never met.
Well said PJS. Though on Labor Day weekend you will sure meet me.
And we hope to go to the St Louis zoo early that Sunday morning.

Bill, we get by with a little help from our friends.
just need to keep focusing on what brings us together

 

[Thomas]

57F partly cloudy day low 80's for high.

Outside chores done E muffin time.
Plans for today...town for critter food,couple putter jobs,if the ground not to soft frontend loader to clean drainage stream...slow motion day.

Enjoy your day all.

 

[Looking4new]

Good morning, the low temperature is 56 and going to a high of 88°F. Wind SE 9 mph. 40% chance of showers. Had some rain about an hour ago. Stopped now.

Junior is going to town this morning and he will take the monitor into the P.O. with him.

I will wait until he gets back from town before I go out and maybe turn the compost. It should be hot enough then that the bugs will be hiding in the shade. I will be sure to wear a hat.

That is about it for today.

Have a safe day all

good morning, 65 going to 90 today

Was nice easy day yesterday. Some kids came by, others called. D made a video thanking us for raising her and commented on the commitment and sacrifices it took to raise the kids. Call from son in jail too.

Seeded sunflowers in the big garden and seeded flowers in wife's patio baskets that are easy reach for watering.

Kyle, yes I was there during the STP phase in Houston but was working on cogeneration projects, projects for TU and engineering for a large project in Saudi Arabia. Also worked on the Blue Hills nuclear project during that time that got cancelled by GSU

 

[daugen]

They say they like to put in between the frame, underneath, so probably have to crawl under to see it.

I spent half an hour yesterday looking and could not find it. Looked through every compartment.
Looked under the bed. I sent a customer service request to Gulfstream yesterday and asked where they installed
it on this 5270 model. Any system that has a fluid reservoir where you should check levels and add more
sure should not be hidden.

I've been underneath before, don't remember seeing it, four metal lines coming out of it, shouldn't be hard to find.
kind of silly actually. I did find the electronics box for the slideout, that was at end of one compartment, but at least you could see it.
I even took a flashlight in the compartments.

this is not a small item
Replacement Hydraulic Pumps - EQ Systems
plus there's a hydraulic manifold with all that piping.

all of the pumps are shown in a vertical position with the tank underneath.
my nephew's 14 yo son is coming to work with me for a few hours on Wednesday, and we are going to take every single
thing out of the compartments, clean, and put them back using some additional storage containers I got. We we will eyeball every
dark place.

Installled the leveling system myself on the motorhome. Hardest part was welding the jacks on the frame so called in a mobile welder that did a good job on it. Located the pump and tank unit close to the front left area within easy reach of power. Just follow the hydraulic lines from the jacks and it will lead the way to the pump unit

Good morning! 79˚ heading to the mid 90s, it just doesn't get cool anymore at night.

Garage is still hot (90s) but I have a dozen boxes to break down and take to the old house for the buyers. They will be taking their second walk through to measure things this morning. Closing is next week. The house is spotless after the move, yard is mowed and all nail holes filled and painted, looks brand new.

I may get to meet them but I also need to meet the plumber here because the water takes too long to get warm. Whoever takes the first shower is cold. There is a system in place that supplies instant hot water (a recirculating system) that is not working, probably a timer valve. I'll find out more from the plumber. Like my wife keeps saying this is a fixer-upper house.

We put some of the leaves in the old antique oak table we have had and made it the dining room table. Yesterday we picked out the breakfast room table to be delivered in 6 weeks.

Then to empty more boxes in the library/study. Yesterday we crawled under the large built-in double desk through the the access panel to connect the electricity to charge the notebook, pad, phones and watch.

 

[daugen]

Thanks Frits, with my bad neck, crawling under things is a real challenge, just hurts too much quickly.
But I do need to follow the lines back.

Don sounds like your move is going well, I'm sure mostly due to your good organization.
my friends built a new home with the latest state of the art instant hot water system with water purification
and all kinds of complicated valving, and all I care about is that it takes almost three minutes of running water to get any
hot water in their guest shower. The heater is in the garage and too far away.
you want that water in your garden, not wasted going down the drain.

I spent half an hour yesterday looking and could not find it..

Operate it and see where the noise comes from.

Good Morning.
67° now, supposed to make it to 87. Sunny all week, first mention of rain is a chance of thunderstorms on Friday.

Yesterday was a good day, spent mostly with the kids, included a couple of meals, a trip to the RC club with the oldest son. Sat around the pool for a while, which is unusual for me, but it was nice sitting under the shade of an umbrella watching the world go by.
Made a trip to the airport to update the databases in the little airplane.

Today will be making sure everything is ready for concrete tomorrow. The recess for the curb less shower still needs to be formed, but I think everything else is ready to go.
Not too much else planned.

 

[daugen]

good idea
I can't hear it run at all, only squealing of one cylinder.
but I'll try that again.
Sadly with one bad ear, my sense of sound location is poor

Will be interested in how you form the recess.
