Good morning!!!!

:dance1:

just a big old capacitor and my Trane is up and running, and it's 72 in my office.
great service, called last night and fixed by 9:30am. Lucky....
5 year old heat pump, 14SEER, gets used hard almost all year long.

Hosed off the front porch, trimmed the lawn, danced a modest little jig (see above) when the a/c started and
after a nice shower, I am happily staying inside. The house is vacuumed, mopped, enough. Now if my friend's wife was coming with him, oh boy, I'd still be scrubbing.

Roy, TGIF.
A hot July summer day. Stay cool Buppies if you are out in this.
Larro's pic of his family sitting in beach chairs in that small cooling stream has stuck in my mind.
Not quite a Nestea plunge but not far off.
Sorta wonder if one's toes ever got nibbled on...

I had the the high Wheeled trimmer delivered yesterday.Those 8 strings can cause some damage.
deerseeker,
how about to plastic fence posts? Tree bark?
pics?

I have a DR pull behind and it's just a joke working with my long rows of fencing. I can weedeat it much better the old fashioned way. Since I was only cutting grass I bought their lightweight model and it sure must be puny compared to that 8 line unit.

Farmer2009, I'm using more power than my solar is making this month due to using the mini split AC most days. Hazy sky, clouds, rain, hot weather, all that takes away from production. I've averaged 380 AC kWh the past two Julys, only 103 AC kWh so far this July with a third of the month gone.

Have a safe trip home. Two days with a little sight seeing is way better than one long a** day. I've found that getting home for that saved day is mostly lost anyways due to a lack of energy--and that's without a two-year-old in tow. It's 17 hours (with no delays) to my Mom's place in Ohio. It's about more than I can do anymore in one shot, and definitely not the safest due to fatigue.

72°F and .43 inches rain last 24 hours.

Off to breakfast, take our little visitors to Volcano National Park, Black sand beach, and South Point. A very full day.

Be safe
Have a great day

Good morning, a chilly 59F heading to 79F. Rode my bike to work for the first time today, a 4 km ride took about 12 minutes, no real traffic to deal with but this afternoon's ride home may be a different story.

Traffic in Tilbury? Kept my boat at Lukens for years

 

[Buppies]

Saw 100 degrees on car thermometer a little bit ago. Will not go on beach until after 4:30 today too hot for me

 

[riptides]

hMMM... 100...even at the beach, too much.

Drew glad you got A/C.

I'll be leaving the breakfast club for a long while, employment needs takes me elsewhere. More merc work. I have enjoyed the daily updates from the audience and the daily trials, tribulations, respect, sharing, health and happiness, some sorrow from you all. Keep your heads up, your tractors working, and operate your day in a safe way.

See you, again sparingly, in the other forums. On TBN of course.

Oh, today I tackled the lawn. As luck would have it, rain is expected tonight. That ZTR cannot come fast enough, perhaps on my return, for now, it is my field hands work problem. He of multiple downed John Deeres on my place at the moment. Oh well.

Be safe all.

Just moved to Tilbury last fall, so I don't know Lukins. Traffic is busy because Tilbury has a Tim Hortons so all the farmer come into town for coffee and talk. LOL.

Drew, we were having a rash of A/Cs go out a few years ago on the Texas Thread - every one was a capacitor including mine. I now have a spare capacitor ready to install. (That reminds me, now where did I put it?)

 

[dave1949]

Made it to 80F today and mostly sunny. The deer fly are thick as thieves since we've had some rain and it warmed up. I'm surprised how much they hang around in the open field.

Got the backhoe mounted and greased then dug up rocks for three hours. It's like Cracker Jacks, a surprise in every hole. You just never can tell what's attached to the 12"-18" of visible rock. I'm mostly focusing on the rocks that are small enough for my tractor to handle and stick up enough to be mower whangers on this pass.

Riptides, good luck with your merc job, hurry back.
