Good morning!!!!

[wngsprd]

68 going to 89. So dry we aren't even getting a decent dew to moisten the grass overnight.

Good to read so many progress reports on health. Getting old is not for wussies. Tractors and Monte Carlos and Marshall Tucker are good therapies.

Buppies, sorry to hear your cut was so deep...but at least you've lost some weight this week . I have my 6 month dermatologist visit in a couple of weeks, and have a couple of spots for her to check.

Freezing already, hawkeye? Let's trade part of our air masses and even things out into the 50s for both of us.

Well, got the dryer working again. First test on it was a failure...still no heat. I started looking on the internet for parts like BEF suggested...thermostat, and cutoff sensor...both mounted on the side of the heater housing that I had to take the dryer completely apart to reach. But there was a discrepancy in part numbers, so I decided to take the dryer apart again to look directly at my parts. Voila! I had forgotten to plug the two heater element wires back onto the connectors after installing and testing. So fixed that, and tested the thermostat and cutoff and reassembled. Washed and dried two loads already...and now I can take our dryer apart with my eyes closed.

Kyle, I had my vacuum going as I removed each part, but there really wasn't much lint in the dryer for over 7 years of frequent use.

Poured first cup of coffee. 64ｰ with light rain this morning. Heading to 69ｰ with light rain most of the day. Got 1.25" of rain from yesterday afternoon. Good report from Dr. Next visit not until 2020. Need to put tools away from yesterday.
Neighbor thought he would jump into getting with digging hole for support legs on tree house. He dug out on both side of each leg down to frost line. Then ran off to Lowes to get the poles and bolts. South side legs fell off what little dirt was left under legs. When I came home from Dr. Whole playhouse looked like it was going to fall completely over. Got my 2 floor jacks and jacked up the leaning side. Then it rained while we were cutting and setting support poles. Good thing it was a warm rain. When we completed project we were covered in mud from head to toe. But project is done.

Getting good report from everyone makes me feel better about life overall. Keep up the good reports. Prayers for all.

Kyle, Happy Birthday to your middle child.

Buckeye, my complaint about Apple is updates. Just did iOS 13.0 a few days ago. This morning got 13.1.1 update. I am sure a bunch of apps will need update soon.

Randy, a ride in the the Monte Carlo. :thumbsup:

Wgnsprd, glad you got dryer fixed.

Good Morning All.

Well done, Wng! I figure I can take something apart a couple of times before it's properly fixed and still come out ahead of what it would cost to have someone come in and do it for me. I learn more from my mistakes than I do when things go smoothly the first time.:laughing:

I usually check the MacInTouch.com site before doing any major update, Ron. Even then I like to give it a few weeks to see if problems emerge, and if they do, I'll wait for the next update. There are very few new features these days that make updating desirable from a functionality viewpoint, and I just don't understand the hurry a lot of people get into when a new update is announced.:confused2: Especially if you've got an older laptop or phone that may not be supported well with the latest software.

Glad no one was hurt by the tipsy tree house. Hope nobody catches cold from the drenching, too!

My 2 i Phones and iPad are set to do auto updates. Both are newer models 2018. No problems yet.

52 right now...high today in the mid-70's...we haven't actually hit the predicted highs in a week or more though.
Chores: Dump run...maybe mow (if it needs it)...that's about it, I think

Good Morning!!!! 61F @ 5:15AM. Rain showers this morning with some sunshine during the afternoon hours. High 71F. Winds W at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 50%.

Good on you for getting out and blowing the stink off the Monte Carlo, Randy. I bet you both needed it!:laughing:

Sorry to hear about the big excavation, Buppies. Talk about giving up a pound of flesh!

Was just about to finish up installing the new breather parts on the red bike yesterday when I got a call from a buddy saying he'd like to stop by for a visit later. Turns out he was on his motorcycle, and headed for a camp out with my old club a little east of here tonight. So he "camped" in the spare bedroom here last night.:laughing: It was a good excuse to BBQ a couple of steaks and enjoy a side of green chili stew and a pair of nice salads. We managed to taste a Scotch or two after dinner as well...

Also got the worn out rear tire changed on that bike, but the new one is just a tad larger in diameter and now the exhaust system needs a little tweaking. So that's on the agenda today, a good inside job since showers are predicted. I'd given some thought to tagging along with my friend, but soggy tents aren't my idea of a good time. And now I wonder if he's seen the weather forecast.:laughing:

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
