Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

nice to hear you are going Outback. I would caution against doing a mixed system if you want to monitor online - stay all Outback - Radian, FM CCs, Hub10, Mate3S, FNDC, OpticsRE all the manuals are online.

Radian offers a couple of options to trigger autostart. most likely I’ll stick with same as I have, let AUX trigger the relay in my transfer switch. It can also act as own relay.

You can buy Radian on amazon. Can you stack 2 for 8kw?

Went to a new mexican restaurant after PT, was ok. It had great reviews. I’m still hungry after getting their burrito, that came with no rice or beans.

Saw a couple snow flakes drift down. Temp dropping all day. Now 35° and cold wind.

"It is a bit steep, but that $1600 amortized over 20 years is only twenty-two cents a day."- RNG I'll remember this when I start whining, groveling, and kowtowing to get a replacement. That hyperbolic smoke chamber thingie reads interesting. I need to research this.

That looks magical.
43˚ bright sunshine, warmest time of the day, time to walk the dog.

I'm rather enjoying the short timer attitude I am experiencing today... hope they figure out who is taking my old work over so I can start them down the path... anxious to get going on new job.

19F clear sky temps 10F tonight...going to make ice tonight.

Didn't plan on plowing driveway but 3 1/2" snow and ice with cold weather arriving back blade did good job :thumbsup: only dug in 2spots oops.
Wood furnace purring like new born kitten sleep and wood heat on the old bones feel great.
Looks like recliner and num num movie tonight.

Enjoy evening all .

Some of my favorite memories are clearing driveway, snow falling gently as I finish up and park tractor, then come in a get a cup of cocoa and sit and watch tv in front of stove reclined in my easy chair..

One of my favorite memories was walking over to the barn to feed the cows, in the falling snow after dark with the Christmas tree lit by the front picture window. Our barn isn’t close to the house, so was a good little walk.

On that note, dad says he’s selling the rest of the cows, as it’s too hard for him to take care of them at 95 yo. He physically can’t do it any more. That was his life.

Will he be leasing the land to another rancher to keep his AG exemption? Good time to sell before having to feed them all winter.
