Good morning!!!!

[ronjhall]

We have a Dyson and Shark. Both do a good job. Shark is smaller an gets in and under places that the Dyson cannot. It is what we used in our Motorhome.

Good morning to all! Low of 43, going up to 70 today, sunny and "breezy" as the forcaster called it....Wind at 30-35, gusts to 40... I call that WINDY!

Buppies, prayers sent for good news.

Lynn, hopefully all the white stuff will melt off and just make everything green up faster!

Didn't get out to the shop yesterday to work on the quilt rack, got stopped in my tracks by the weed-wacker....that was an all day affair...hour on, hour off to rest the knee. The front yard is done, back yard / corrals another day!

Today requires a CostCo run, bathe the dog, then? ...probably will be enough.

Saw a news report last night talking about costs of college and student debt. Tuition at some of the big name colleges is as much as $75,000 per year...$300,000 for a BS....that is just BS. My daughter has student loan debt over $100K for her 2 Master's degrees. No wonder kids can't get ahead!

Have a great day, prayers sent.

There are good, more affordable colleges. It's crazy what some charge. The one my sons go to is private, yet on par cost wise to a instate school. I've been very pleased with their academics.

Sun was shining last night, so applied caulk to all seams on my camper roof. By time i finished, clouds were gathering, and rain 2 hrs later. Hope it had set enough.

I was just a bit off with the date above. I still have some of the old logs I kept during our travels and just now found this:

"8/11/91

Beautiful sunny day. I flushed holding tanks, Margaret did laundry, then we went to visit Camp 18, a logging museum on US 26, stopped for gas and groceries in Seaside. Then we sat out under the awning, cool enough for Margaret to get a sweater, and had a bottle of Gewurztraminer wine from the Stewart Vineyards of Granger, WA (best wine I ever drank), Smoked Cheddar and Pepper Jack cheeses from the Tillamook County (Oregon) Cheese factory, a can of Alaskan silver salmon (from what we canned last year that we caught at Seward), Walla Walla Sweet onion from Walla Walla, WA and crackers. Of course, Margaret had tortilla chips instead of crackers along with Frito Lay Salsa. It doesn't get much better than that. I also fed one of the black park rabbits cracker bits by hand while I was eating."

I remember Margaret asking what I wanted for supper and I told her there was no need to cook, and the above was as good a supper as I ever had.

Good memories.. grand daughter was playing with old cell phone from around 2010 I think.. picture showing on wallpaper was Haystack Rock at Cannon Beach.. she had a grand time with the phone for several hours..

ood Morning Everyone!!!!!

34ºF for today’s low temperature; an overcast 48ºF presently and I do not think temps will get much higher. Mostly overcast with periods of rain showers and an occasional break in the cloud deck. PT went really well today; one more session next week. Tomorrow I’ll be spending time in the dentist chair.

Buppies- I hope the biopsy is negative. My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers..

Drew- My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers..

RNG- Your Vanagon looks to be in really good shape thanks to all your effortsI. Thanks for the pictures. I hope you have a great time at the Vanagon meet up and everything goes as planned.

“I can't imagine what it must be like to graduate with that kind of debt hanging over their young heads, Ted. Tuition was $220/quarter when I attended Ohio State in the '70s, which was picked up by my dad. The rest was up to me, so I worked part time jobs during the school year and full time in the summer to get by,”- RNG. I agree and had a similar history at PSU in the 70’s.

Rick- Your new “kitchen toy” looks interesting. Thanks for the product test. It looks like great eats.

I hope that everyone is having a manageable day.

My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers.

66°F and no rain.

Unexpected trip to town yesterday to pick up the hydraulic offset for my flail. It arrived early. Spent too much time in HD as well assembling my attempt at a pipe puller for gas line project. Will post more later.
Backhoe cleaned up well, but disappointed in the amount of rust especially around welds, lot of paint flaked off under the pressure washer. I can see some sort of remediation needed after this project is complete.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Looking pretty spiffy, RNG

Never owned, or even used a Dyson. I just thought they were priced too high. But when the Shark was advertised on the TV with lifetime warranty, prompt refund if not happy, etc. I ordered one online with an assortment of attachments on 6/8/2015 and we still like it better than any household vacuum we ever used.

We've had both a Sharp and a cordless Dyson. "We" (i.e. Wifey) liked both. Wifey really likes her cordless Dyson. It really helps manage all the St. B. hair and pick up the debris field that always seems to follow me. I do not think that Brogen ever stops shedding. Wifey thinks that I never stop bringing in outdoor dirt indoors.

Do any of the air fryers out there know of a decent refillable oil mister that doe not leak?

This is what we use Jay. They have olive oil, canola oil, and other flavors. No muss .... no fuss.

At both Ranch and our Richmond house we have 2-speed Orecks for main floors and carpets. You use low speed for hard floors and high for carpets.

We also have the Dyson V8 cordless both places. The Dyson works well getting into small places and under furniture, etc.
