Good Morning!!!! 68F @ 5:15AM. Plentiful sunshine. High 99F. Winds SSW at 10 to 15 mph.
:welcome:Frankenkubota. Dehydration is a great way to end up with kidney stones. DAMHIKT. Now I start every morning with two 16 oz. glasses of water at breakfast, and keep it going through lunch and dinner. I avoid caffeine whenever I can. Drew is on the money when it comes to urine color, just need to pay attention.
Decaffeinated still has caffeine in it, Drew. Just less of it. Sounds like a plan is coming together, though. One step at a time, you'll get there!
Good list, Eric. I gave up on nails when carpal tunnel had me throwing hammers, and always hated slotted screw heads. Drywall and deck screws, along with the battery powered impact gun to drive them, are the best things since sliced bread! Still need to sort the slotted screws out of the junk drawers, though. That'll take a substantial round tuit, though.
By now, Billy, Coco's probably smart enough to expect a pill inside any new food you give her. But with so many pills, how do you keep her guessing without over feeding her?
Hope you can stay ahead of the remodeling snowball, Phil. 83 days'll be over in a flash!
Butte county keeps piling up the CV19 cases, with another 21 added yesterday. Now well over 400 to date.
That's a lot of bears, Buppies!
It's a jungle out there, RS!
I couldn't find the comet with my naked eye either, Mike. After sunset, try looking under the Big Dipper with a set of binoculars. That's how I found it.
The property taxes people pay these days are another reason so many are acting so crazy! :shocked:
Felt great to get back on a motorcycle yesterday morning! But I'm glad I called ahead to the BMW dealer; they had to order the parts I needed. Since the old man died, that's happening a lot now. Guess they can't afford to tie a lot of money up in inventory anymore. Called ahead to Tractor Supply, too, and guess what? They couldn't find what I needed, even though their web site said they had it in stock. The bigger store in Oroville had one in hand, so that's where I went. Shorter trip, too, but not a good place to spend time in, just too many sketchy characters hanging around.
RG got a workout blowing dirt and dust off the driveway when I got back, then worked on packing for the trip. In six months I've gotten out of practice and things have drifted from where they should be, so it took more than the usual fifteen minutes. Thank goodness for lists!
Our host for the campout is planning to feed us dinner each evening, but the rest is catch as catch can. Not sure what the restaurant situation will be, but there's a large deli in the supermarket in town that will likely get a lot of my business. And there's always cheese'n'crackers and jerky in the saddlebags.
FedEx says they delivered a package, at the front door, yesterday. Only trouble is my front door is a quarter mile behind a locked gate, and I know the driver didn't walk down here because there's nothing on the porch. I think that FedEx may have actually delivered it to the post office, who will then put it in the parcel box up at the road. Now if I could just get the newest post person to actually lock the box...
The UPS person gets it right every time, they left a new UPS in it yesterday. Hooked it up to the stove, and now when the A/C starts up, the propane doesn't shut off. The UPS looks a little funny balanced on the back of the stove, though. It wouldn't fit underneath. Might have to rig up some kind of shelf for it to sit on.
Found enough dirt under that stove to clog up the vacuum cleaner. Emptied and blew out the dust catcher, and vacuum still wouldn't suck. Downloaded the owner's manual and learned there's a thermal sensor in there somewhere, and after it cooled down for a while it worked fine. Glad I didn't start prying things apart like one of the Youtube "experts" was doing...
Hang in there, gang, Friday's comin'!:cool2:
