Good morning!!!!

[ronjhall]

Coffee is done brewing. 66° with fog this morning, Heading to 88° with scattered thunderstorms. Several thunderstorms passed passed my area throughout the day. Left 3/4" of rain. Got some outside projects started without getting wet. Not sure what I will do today. Going to be to hot and humid.

Drew, hope waterlines got repaired. If pump is under house. I assume you do not have a submersible pump.

David, looking forward to more pictures.

Eric, great picture.

Randy's last day to recover. Prayers sent.

Buckeye, hope meds are doing the job getting rid of the pneumonia.

Prayers for all healing.

Good Morning All.

If pump is under house. I assume you do not have a submersible pump.
thanks, no, I'm on city water, good pressure, t'd off main line for new line underground to garden.
Inline booster pump, stainless steel, made for irrigation and sprinklers. Would be interesting to put gauge on output side, see
how much pressure the pump is adding. What is interesting is that when pump is off, water flows through it just fine getting to garden.
I just turn it on when I'm running two sprinklers at once. And running it for three or four hours day before yesterday doing the whole garden might have overheated it,
cheesy pump if it did...And the pump is stainless, not some thermoplastic so just how much could it expand with the heat?

One thing for sure, with metal piping, I'm hoping this is the last episode with this pump, second time it has let loose and flooded the crawl space.
A crawl space I had professionally remediated for mold. Large commercial dehumidifier down there will be running a long time, but it will dry it out.

My plumber is a good guy, and embarrassed this thing fell apart again. I told him to replace as much of the piping with metal as he could.
Wondering if putting pump on rubber feet or pad would help reduce vibration. I have some old horse stall rubber floor padding, might stick that under pump, specifically under wooden board under pump.

78 degrees this morning, going for a high of 93. I got the lawn sprinklers going front and back this morning at 5 a.m. for the first time this year. We've had way more than our normal rainfall early this year, but none since the 23rd of last month. And just the last 2 days, I've been killing flies in the house; don't know how or where they get in, but I guess it's that time of year.

Tomorrow, I'll need to mow.

Hope everyone had a nice 4th of July!

We (Suzette and I) didn't do much... I watched about an hour of the celebration in Washington. I kind of wish I were there...and I'm glad no evil crap went on!

Anyway...
60 right now...high today in the high 80's.

Good morning! A warm dry morning, no dew, brisk wind from the SE 78˚F heading to the mid 90s. The neighborhood July 4th decorated golf cart parade came in front of the house yesterday but by the time I realized it the last cart was in front of the house so no pics. Several options on things to do today, i'll think about them, but none involve face mask and goggles while mowing and sweating.

Randy, hope you have recovered for your big day!

Bird hope you got good results for test.

Yeah, I forgot to mention the results. They did the tests one day, then I had to go back the next day for the results. But the doctor said it all looks "normal for my age":laughing: In other words, maybe a 10% blockage in one artery. Nothing to be concerned about.

Sounds like all had a happy 4th, wish the big DC celebration had been broadcast, maybe it was, but not locally?

Daughter that has vision problem is getting better every day, praying for complete recovery. She is still having headaches (starts in back where headrest hit the back of her head) nearly constant.. she is hoping to get her car back in the next week, wants to drive again (she hasn't driven since the accident due to vision and headaches).

Was planning a quiet lazy day at home yesterday, browsing FB marketplace, found a JD Gator powerwheels for $25 on marketplace 20+ miles away. Messaged we wanted it, loaded up wife and grand daughter in truck, off we went. Gator had major tire damage and was too small for grand daughter, but they also had a quad that she fit on and I got it for $30. I asked the wife if she felt up to driving some more, there was some scaffolding I was interested in an hour further... sure, so messaged that seller and off we went. Got the scaffolding (need it to paint house). We ended up driving about 210 miles, very tired when we got home.. Grand daughter had a blast riding the "new" powerwheels. Now we have 3 so when my other grand kids come next week, they won't fight over them so much..

70°F and no rain.
A great 4th celebration, tons of good food, 46 people.

Hope to get flail mounted on new LS and attempt some mowing today. Of course, I managed to quietly introduce my new tool to friends yesterday. They were impressed. One of my favorites was a neighbor who bought new comparable size orange about 2 years ago tried to summarize by telling me I didn’t get 0% 5 yr financing. I agreed, but I added that getting the quick attach loader, hydrostatic trans, telescoping 3point, adjustable stabilizers, etc and paying $5k less was an acceptable trade off for me. His facial expression was quite rewarding. We remain good friends

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

mowed roadsides with tractor and then lawn for three hours, hot and dirty when I came in, shower felt wonderful.
Now I stay put and wait for thunderstorms to roll through.

crepe myrtles starting to bloom everywhere, tons of them planted along the streets downtown

68 and clear looks like rain tomorrow.
Not getting much done today had running around to do. Might see if I can get the 2N running again and just take it for a ride.
