Good morning!!!!

[Ed of all trades]

Did not get the weed eating done but sprayed the weeds and grass that was in the wrong places. Picked up some foam sheets for the garage door and hope to get it on soon.

Buppies, The man replaced the blower and it has been quiet ever since. The boy is relaxed and not as stressed as he was so we assume it was the fan noise that was stressing him. We are thankful.

Don, you are ahead of me on unpacking and we moved over two years ago.

Have a great night. Ed

Ed, my metal garage doors face SW so they really heat up the garage. Do the foam sheet insulate the garage door?



edit: is it like this https://www.homedepot.com/p/Garage-...es-Garage-Door-Insulation-Kit-8-pcs/203630159

Good evening all. 79F for the start, breezy, partly cloudy. Sky cleared off, wind pickup a bunch and high temp was 101. Had a 1+ hour trip each way for the boat test so that was first on agenda, went well, 2 ft. waves on Lake Texoma, would have bought the one I test drove except it was gray and SWMBO wants red . Put a deposit down about 1 week del. Pics when in driveway. On the way home she asks are you ready for a new pickup :cool2::drink:
Prayers for all.

Never ate a lima bean sandwich, but I've always been partial to them...
Ever try succotash, Drew? It's simple...corn and lima beans mixed. Succotash was a staple at our house when I was growing up.
Succotash - Wikipedia

Grew up with succotash and I always make a big dish of it here for Thanksgiving. I prefer baby Lima’s rather than the larger ones and a mix of whole kernel corn and creamed corn.

Don
Haven’t read or heard news reports of any significant population changes due to the volcano.
My take: The Puna area tends to be a lower cost area to live and has attracted both local and mainland folks for that reason. many of the local folks will just relocate locally. The mainland folks relocating are more likely to be older retirees having tried their Paradise adventure see this as rationale to relocate back to mainland to be with family. Talked with a couple this past weekend, one of the early burned out homes. They just see it as reason to move to less working demanding home, but still here on the island.
Economics will be a determining factor, owners with insurance are hoping the County/State come up with a solution that enables them to rebuild. Another element is the absentee owners, vacation rentals, but they don’t live here and may not as they aren’t likely to duplicate their circumstances elsewhere on the island.
Those expert at gaming the system are well into it.
My BIL drives a school bus for a charter school that is cutoff by lava. School got out for summer about 3 weeks into event, but he can now collect unemployment for the summer.
The actual % of people directly affected is quite small and limited to a small area of the island.
If paying attention, we can see the cloud/plume driving into Hilo. We haven’t been significantly impacted by the air. Today, on Konaside, the vog was heavy, but we’ve seen it nearly as bad before.

60 right now...high today in the mid-70's and rain/possible thunderstorms.

Got about half the field mowed (finally!) before the rain started. It wasn't raining that hard, but enough to wet the field grass so my tires would smash it down enough the flail wouldn't cut it. Friday will be hot (upper 80's) but should dry things out enough to finish mowing.

Roy, not heard of Succotash before, is that from the same language as Sasquatch ?

Oh - could Succotash be the vegetarian alternative to Sasquatch - no wonder bigfoot prefers to stay hidden :laughing:

Good morning. More endless sun today.

Baling contractor managed to squeeze us in yesterday. Some of the Hay is so green it looks as if it is wet , yet couldn't be much drier if cooked in one of Don's air fryers. Finished stacking bales in the field at 10pm and for once didn't have to rain sheet them before they are moved into the hay barn.

Good morning all, 70 going to 86 and sunny today. Hope to get started in the garage door this morning, may get to the weed eating later on.

Don, I just bought the foil backed 4 x 8 sheets of foil backed foam. The foil raises the r factor a bit and with foil tape to seal the edges I think it will look a little batter even if it has words on it. Got a can of foam as well just in case.

Mostly, you got a good one, hang on to her.

Eric, actually succotash is a indian word, They grew corn, beans and squash long before we got here.

Have a great day. Prayers sent. Ed
