Good Morning!!!! 75F @ 6:00AM. Sunny. High 101F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph.
Forgot to mention that the lizard was running up my bare leg; I had shorts on!

:laughing:
That sounds like more than a handful, Mike. Hope the workers do a good job and the trouble takes care of itself.
Also hope the new meds do the trick for Coco, Billy. I'd have stepped on that bug...
Ted, do you wait for it to cool down outside and open the windows before you turn on the house fan? Otherwise it seems you'd be pumping air conditioned air into the attic.:confused2: I'd also like to know make and model of the fan you used...
You should be able to find a large tile at a tile store, Drew. They might even give it to you for free if it's a left over or sample. I have one somewhere out in the garage of "Galaxy" granite, half an inch thick, that I should have thought to use for the pizza stone, now that I'm thinking about it more.:confused3:
Hope your rains don't move more sludge into your sluice, Eric, but I'll pass on the Mahler, and especially the maggots. :yuck:
Is there an app to help you keep from overheating, Don? Would be very handy this time of year!
Another 46 cases of CV19 reported here yesterday, bringing the total to a whopping 866. Only four in the hospital, but two new deaths earlier this week, both very old with preexisting conditions. Last week's total was down from the previous week, so perhaps we're over the hump?
Sounds like someone's playing tricks on your Shiner Bock, Bird. I wonder what would happen if you sent a photo of that bottle to the brewery?
That's a LOT of yard, RS. But at least it's flat!
The dead tree out by the front gate dumped another load of branches, so I need to go up there today with some gloves and load them into the side-by-side to move them to the burn pile. It would be a good jog for the grapple, but I'm using the forks to prop up the firetruck tank lid right now.
Used a
SureShot sprayer to apply the rust converter yesterday, the perfect tool for the job. I have a smaller version that shoots a single stream, but the mist from the bigger one let me coat the tank in only fifteen minutes. The directions on the bottle suggest using a brush or roller, which I'm sure would work, but this was quick and easy.
Since I was already dressed up in long pants, long sleeves, safety glasses, and a respirator, I got out the sprayer and rode around on the side-by-side spraying weeds for a couple hours. There were a lot more than I thought were out there...
While I was lifting the pallet full of welders yesterday, I put the FEL in self leveling mode. It wasn't working very well, and now I remember reading a calibration procedure in the workshop manual. So that's also on the agenda for today, right after I get the lid back on a pallet and the pallet back on a pair of saw horses.
The urethane coating for the tank was supposed to be delivered yesterday, but UPS rescheduled it for today. The metal will be too hot to paint with it by the time it's delivered, so that job is put off another day. That will be a brush and roller job; the urethane is too thick for a sprayer.
Happy Hump Day, folks!
