54 right now...high in the upper 70's today.

Got about 20some miles south yesterday, then turned around. I've been having bout of light to moderate vertigo the last few weeks in the morning. I've been toughing it out to get to work since the vertigo abates in a couple hours. 180 miles to CT was too far though. I think it's my BP again and I have a doctor's appointment Thursday afternoon.
Might want to carry a BP machine with you. My BP was low this morning so the didnt give me my BP meds.

Complimentary rain for the golfers this morning, supplied by the Rain Dance Club. (Or was it the irrigation club). IMG_3093.JPG

My billing cycle ends in 2 days; forecast to be about 1600 KWH for $200. As of this morning, it's 1485 KWH for $187.

Now you made me go look.

Bill covering 7/10 - 8/8 was for 989 kWh @ $256.24. I bet I see double that before we get our next real rain.

Bird, they sure sell power cheap in Texas!

Good Morning!!!! 73F @ 6:15AM. Abundant sunshine. High near 105F. Winds light and variable.

Here's hoping Randy has an easy ride today, and he comes through it better than new...

Don, with all your club activities, have you no time for water volley ball this summer? Or is there no club for that (yet)?:laughing:

I hope you have a garden hose handy while you're playing with that torch, Drew. We'd hate to read about you in the papers...

Broke out the laser level yesterday morning to get the front diff aligned. It was only off by 1/8" or so, but the laser light was hard to see without the special red sunglasses included in the kit. While I was under there I saw that the decoupler on the front of the transaxle is still leaking, so I cleaned it off and will take another look today to see if I can figure out where it's coming from. Also made some measurements to calculate u-joint angles, but without the drive shaft in place, it's not possible to determine the angle of each of the u-joints. So maybe I'll play around with that some today, too.

My bulldozer neighbor's wife called yesterday wanting to know the name of my homeowners insurance company. Her mother-in-law had just been declined for her home and is having trouble finding coverage. During the call she let slip that they're going to sell their little fire engine, and asked me if I was interested. Interested? I was on that like a rooster on a June bug! Should have it sometime in the next week.

Happy Hump Day, folks!:cool2:

71°F and foggy this morning, going up to 87° today.

Got home from work yesterday and was met with the sound of a gas-powered pump attempting to empty the lake. Four months later than scheduled, but it's finally happening.

Paul, is your table built from pressure treated wood? We have a conventional picnic table that we'd like to paint.

No idea, Rick. It was given to us by the couple across the road, who got it from the husband's mother but never used it. It's been painted once before, but that paint wore off long ago, and the wood was fairly weathered. Considering it's current condition, I'm guessing it probably is treated lumber. It's remarkably well-preserved for having sit out unprotected for so long.

$200 / 1600 = $0.125/kWh

July - 3340kWh / $376.

$376 / 3340 = $0.113/kWh

Now you made me go look.

Bill covering 7/10 - 8/8 was for 989 kWh @ $256.24.

$256.24 / 989 = $0.259/kWh

Define win...:confused2:

One thing's certain: That solar power system will pay for itself much quicker here in Kalifornia!
