[Kyle_in_Tex]

In a way your lucky...your doing something than hear tractor start next thing you know Mrs. tractor gone and you have no idea what her plan is ...dirt work,garden,snow removal etc.

Maybe she's just doing the bear necessities.

after being told by MB dealer I had to drive to Raleigh in person with ID to order replacement keys, and then when they came in, had
to have rv towed all the way to Raleigh to program keys, I just knew this was going to be an insane cost. One last thought, I emailed my prior
next door neighbor, and asked him if by any chance he had the ignition key. He laughed and said I had it in my pocket. Say what?....
well....the big black fob which I thought was a dumb item with just lock and unlock on it has a concealed compartment where if you push the little button
on it, out pops the ignition key. Geeeezzzzz. He had tucked it away, which I never had... sure felt like an idiot, but a very relieved idiot.
too late to go get propane so I'll just stay put.

first rain coming in, heavier stuff after lunch. Forecast is now expected to be a minimal Cat 1 hurricane, with gusts to 70+mph. This should be an interesting night
tonight. Rv is all chocked up and I'm in the lee of three larger motorhomes on three sides, which should help block some of the wind.
Path of storm is just West of me, basically right over my head.

RNG, cute friends!

No RNG she dried the vehicles glad you found your key Drew

Sunshine now will just make storms bigger

How is your daughter doing Kyle

Good morning 71 going up to 89 - tonight starts our flood warnings and it looks like we will get more than 3" of rain in the next 24 hours.
Might see another one or two dead ashes drop, these are at edge of forest, they are dangerous as the EAB have eaten them away and some of the wood in the trunks is rotted and can split when trying to cut like the last one that split about 15 feet up

LS - can you wear a knee brace, when my knee gets bad I wear the brace when I am doing any work, otherwise I just take it easy
Ron-sorry about the bees- have exterminator coming back as both nests on my house just moved when he hit them with Tempo-at least not in my doorway anymore so I can go out. I get stung every year by them-2 stings is not fun...
RNG-sounds like a lot of progress-hope valve doesn't give you too much trouble
Randy-sounds like a great birthday party!

Drew-prayers for your brother-hopefully just a regular cold-stay safe - padding for cabinets looks good and glad your key is found

spent Saturday tracing out the leaking pipe for the pool. Still have not found leak- digging by hand is getting old.


and dog helped me celebrate birthday- had fresh lobster and the wife baked me cookies!


Stay safe and be well

Glad you found your keys Drew! Do you have enough propane to get through the storm? There will probably be power outages....

Ken, I have 2 knee braces. I will occasionally wear them, but they usually only make it feel better for about 30 minutes. After they are removed, the pain usually gets worse and / or range of motion gets decreased. My orthopedic surgeon recommended to not wear a brace... he really tries to avoid having any of his patients wearing them.
Did the pup at least get a piece of cake?

 

[kenmbz]

Pup got cookies-not a cake person so wife baked raisin nut cookies for me called "Rocks"-pup was very happy with her cookie

I only wear brace as my issue is with twisting and only when it's bothering me and only when doing work when it would have an impact. acts as reinforcement. brace can weaken muscles if worn too long/much
So for me kinda like wearing a band aid, use only when necessary.
anything they can do to stop it from going out, seems like falling is a pretty bad option?

Those cookies sound delicious :drool:

Fortunately, that was the only fall that I have had due to the knee going out. Most of the time I just have a little stumble when standing up. I think it was just coincidental that it went out while on the steps. Hopefully it was just an isolated incident.

I hope you can find that leak soon! That's a lot of digging.....

Thanks for the link.

My generator is dual fuel, but I've only run it on LP...hoping to avoid the starting problems I've heard others have with old gummy gas in the carb.

I've been meaning to get a propane kit for my Honda generator, just haven't gotten a round tuit. Did you convert your generator yourself, and if so, what kit did you use?

I'm looking at one from Nash Fuel right now...

I bought it as a dual fuel...one of the features I was wanting since it rhymes ...a Costco deal...Champion...4 years old and original battery...I guess I need to worry about that soon, although it cranked right up yesterday after no use or charging for 18 months. Actually, I bought it planning to only run propane, and bought extra 20 lb tanks...handy to refill at TSC, and use in our grill.

77F and partly cloudy @ 11:45. High for the day predicted to hit 82F, with a 30% chance of a thunderstorm (according to WU, 40% if you believe WB ... )

Spent all day yesterday working on garage clean up and organization, good progress made ... :thumbsup:

Water softener salt delivery due today, need to clear a path so he can get to the door ... :laughing:

Hope to get auger storage rack finished up today ... along with more progress on garage.

Probably wash off mower deck too ... since it looks like going to have to mow fairly soon.

Maybe get that rear tire on Simplicity handled as well.

Other than that, take it as it comes ...

Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, and safe day.
