Good morning!!!!

[toppop52]

Went Walmart and picked up grocery order, then stopped at Papa John’s for a pizza. Not the store we usually use. It was a medium 4 topping with extra cheese, supposed to be.
Burnt crust and it was gluten free, not what we ordered. It was so small it rattled around in the box, had to hunt for toppings, no extra cheese and hardly any sauce. I asked Ellen what it cost, she said $25!
I was so pissed I called them to tell them about it and they said I’d have to call corporate. I certainly will!

My bathroom cabinet install came to an abrupt halt after un-packaging. The cabinet back was cracked, (visible through the glass front) something poked through the box. Project on hold waiting for an e-mail reply on exchange or damaged merchandise discount and I will repair.

Second project - my Kia stinger wants me to consider taking breaks by suggesting it every 2 minutes after a 20 minute drive. Then intermittent suggestions. I found it in the owner's manual and it is called the "DAW" - driver attention warning. Looks like a warranty issue but at least I found out how to turn it off.

My 2 wood fired pizzas cost that. They were very good, but could have used more toppings. Very good flavor. One was bbq pizza, other was Maui pizza.

LS, you finish that bench you was working on? I haven’t sprayed my bench ends yet.

No, not yet. I moved all the RC stuff into the area to be used for making the bench pieces. Most of the RC stuff is cleared out now, I will probably get back to the bench early next week. I am getting tired of moving the sides and the back insert around to different places in the shop....

Good evening all. 76F for the start, partly cloudy, light breeze. Light wind day, Sky cleared off and high temp was 98F feels like 107F Walked with wife this morning, then bike ride. Adjustments made worked well. Think I set a personal record for elapsed time around the lake., average speed was 18.4 mph. Still trying to get update on boat cover repair, and might be able to buy golf course access land and will be able to irrigate it, I already mow it. Grilled some brats for dinner and helped wife make spaghetti sauce. After dinner did some prepping for Saturday ride.

Came home tired after a possibly good "win" on the big compressor at work. I got permission to tear into the main manifold which has a spring splunger on the pressure side. This plunger has a tube that goes to the pressure switch to see what the pressure is up to. It seemed a bit "sticky" so I cleaned it up and put it all back together. One small snafu, there is a bottom chamber that has a oil level sight tube. I had to take off the top banjo elbow to have room to remove a large hose connection. Thank the Lord I had a set of crow's foott wrenches. They made all the difference, getting into tight spaces.

Anyway, when I assembled the sight tube back on, somehow I lost the copper washer, and when I started the unit, it leaked out about a quart of oil.....Got it all cleaned up, and just happened to have some new banjo bolts. Started it up, and the belt started squealing again a little, I pulled out my brand new can of CRC Belt Conditioner and sprayed it liberally. Waaalaaa. It shut up and ran. So after all this, and 112,500 hours, the serpentine pulley on the scroll must be worn out (probably the motor one too....It was a really nice compressor in it's day...125 CFM @ 125 psi. 30 hp. Nothing huge, I've seem much bigger.

As far as the buzz bomb goes, I may bore it out again next week. Another .010" or so....and make the PTFE compression ring. Don't know why I keep wasting time on it....I just hate to get my arse kicked by something so simple and cheap. Ha ha.

I can just see Don driving along, and some woman's voice starts talking to him.....they should have her voice come out of the back speaker so you have to look around to see what the heck.

Daughter has left for a long weekend at church camp. Took her guitar along, and so did many of the other kids. That is the part I would love to be there to watch and listen. We have some really talented kids and some talented instructors/pastors. Multiple guitars, mandolin, violin, ukulele.....

Since I'm so tired, I got a new set of ear jacks, I watched a bunch of oldie videos, Pat Benatar, Garbage, Remy Zero, The Fixx....

Penn, I can't imagine someone being mad that someone else is wearing a mask.

Randy, sorry about your pizza. Stuff Like that ticks me off too. Sounds like the manager was gone, or needs a job digging ditches.

We got between a smidge and a smattering of rain for a couple minutes, and then it was gone.

Trying to figure out which chores I want to do tomorrow.

Ron, neat moon shot.

Prayers for all.

A very good day over all.

Easily finished the container cleanout. Will have to make a dump run Sunday and I want to make an elevated storage area for some of the items, probably tomorrow.

Made an interesting chicken and rice Instant Pot recipe from Campbell soup. Wife suggested, I made it, both happy.

Cottage tenants broke ground on their new house. Asked if I’d be interested in the topsoil removed for the drive and house pad. Heck yea. Apparently, tipping the driver is my share for the 5 mile trip.

3 loads today, not sure how many more but said I would take it all.
Forgot to ask truck size.


Will be good seat time getting it spread where I need it.

Wife and I kinda laughing. If this was our project any dirt would get piled for future use (they have 11 acres). Just hope they don’t ask for it back. Gave the driver $25 per load seemed happy.

64 right now...high in the mid to upper 80's today.
Chores....dump run, get fuel (gasoline) for the mower and finish mowing (what I didn't get on Thursday). I want to get this all done before the heat becomes unbearable this afternoon.
Need to pull weeds too, if time permits, or tomorrow morning

Have a great day, all!!
