Got all town errands done with no mess ups :dance1: and gave the old burn barrel got work out.
Mrs. decided she rather do super market shopping this evening...soon also grab quick bite...hmmm,other than that should be good evening to set on the deck.

Enjoy your evening all.

Were you able to sort out the "low flow" from your Fire Truck yet?

I wonder if there is a "recirculate" valve on your pump outlet that sends pump outlet water back to the tank .. if your hose is off? It may be partially open? Do you have a pressure gauge on pump outlet? If the recirculation valve is open you'll have almost no pressure on your gauge. Close the valve till you get the pressure you want.

I'd assume your hand line is 1 1/2"? For that you like to see almost 100 psi.

I was wondering the same thing. Or the tank fill is open possibly.

Ron.
"Tree rat has a growth on its neck."

Interesting...wonder if he/she was bitten by another squirrel and it just heal that way.

Looks like a bot fly...poor critter...

He does see himself as a lap puppy

Trouble with Boxer pups as lap dogs is they always think they're lap dogs...even when fully grown and 60-70 lbs.!!

12-7-41 - Not even in anyone痴 plans yet!

11-22-63 - East Elementary, Dover OH, 3rd grade, just came in from being outside at lunch

9-11-01 - at work, talking to the receiving inspector when the news broke. Very shortly after, I was outside and to this day, think I saw Flight 93 turn towards PA. An airliner was flying low and erratically coming south then turned east. About 40 minutes or so later, Flight 93 was reported crashed in PA.

Radar path shown later appeared that flight 93 flew over this area.

68F and partly cloudy @ 21:00. Overnight low predicted to hit 60F.

Rubber bumpers ordered from McMaster and parts picked up from Kubota dealer.

Three bird feeders refilled, cats fed (both upper and lower)

Grass from culvert ditch raked up, some hosta re-homed to a neighbor, none planted however.

Decided to hold off one more day on finishing up mowing down here around house, hoping it will dry out a little more.

Said I was going to make some oatmeal raisin cookies ... The Woman immediately volunteered to participate. She's mixing up the ingredients now, I've now been tasked with the actual baking ... :laughing:

RNG I don't know how I missed it but just realized you're having smog problem with the van. When I bought my Daihatsu mini truck it was registered in Ca. and the p.o. was a retired firefighter who had bought it from a guy out around the Salton Sea. The first thing I asked him was getting it smogged and he said that he had it for 3 years and never been told to get it done. He said that he thought the DMV thought it was electric but the title clearly says it's gas powered. I went to transfer the title and they said it had to be smogged so I took it to my regular smog shop and the guy said that he couldn't do because it wasn't in the computer system and I needed to take it to a DMV referee. I took it in and the referee was a real nice guy who said the truck had been registered for like 7 or 8 years and never smogged but couldn't find out why. He said that he could not smog it or exempt it and that the problem was with the DMV who should have never issued a title or registration for it. I was in the NAPA store one day and the guys there were admiring it and when I told them about my problems one of them told me to go down the street to a private business that handles DMV stuff so I did. The young guy there looked the records up and said the referee was right and then said the only way to register it was to get a P.O. box in an area where smog was not required. I had never known there was such a thing but he said the closest was the Pala Indian reservation just a few miles away or a small town up in the mountains East of San Diego where they are exempt from smog laws. I went to the reservation and the guys running the P.O. there were retired U.S.P.S. workers and they laughed and asked if I was trying to beat the smog deal. I said yes and they said they do it all the time. I took the receipt and box # back to the registration guy and he put it all into the computer and gave me the paper work to transfer it to my name. It's worked every since. The other problem I had was insurance as my broker couldn't find anyone to cover it but Progressive and he couldn't write a policy through them. I got on the computer and had the deal done in just a few minutes but It is pricey.Like $325 every 6 mo. for bare minimum liability and only me as driver.Double to put the wife on policy.

good morning all. Much cooler day, 74 going up to only 80 today in clouds but no rain
Disappointing to have to say no to the rental I was looking at in Lumberville PA, between tiny kitchen, tiny bedroom, no dishwasher, no dining room, steps to worry about
in winter and having to back out onto main road due to lack of turn around in driveway, well it all just became unattractive. Thankfully I have the other place still in queue and hope to inspect that next week.

My Mifi is password protected and not many folks here in campground, but yeah it sounds like someone else is devouring my megabytes. ?? It's about to crash any second.

Food shopping this morning, not much else planned.
Have a nice weekend guys

71 going to 77. Took Coco out for a short walk, had to run an opossum off first.

Looks like Makani is happy.

Quiet day yesterday...found a mix of seeds I wanted at the feed and seed (oat/rye/wheat/pea/clover/radish, etc), plus needed diesel for the tractor, so went to town, with light showers on the way. Passed my favorite local hiking park, so had to get in a good hike, late lunch, and afternoon Orioles/Yankees game. Today will be a good day for planting.

41 this morning...high about 70 today.

Chores: Dump run (last week's run was a bust since the dump was closed for Labor Day), then finish up trimming that pine tree I've been writing about...chip what's left to chip. After that, mowing time (which reminds me, I need to get fuel for the zero-turn) and, if I think we need it, do some weed trimming

After that...well, I'm taking after Thomas...bought some cigars and I'm going to set on one of the deck chairs, sip on some whiskey (Connemara or Jameson) and smoke a good cigar

 

[Buppies]

wngsprd glad Coco got to go for walk

Good morning. Sucking down 2nd cup coffee. 78 @ 85% out with noisy crows. Today we need to move wifie's bangladesh horse stall. Seems like she selected a low spot for it. And she's a aflutter that they'll be standing in a puddle with the _maybe_ change of rain this weekend. When it rained yesterday it flat poured for all of 10-12 minutes I'll give her that.
Still hunting my pop-rivet tools. Found the rivnut set so they should (hah) be there.
Put deposit down on a 14x24 tin shed for shop. Roll up door on gable end. I wanted the roll-up on a long side but that didn't seem to be this place's forte. Scheduling arrival (and take away of existing) gonna be a beach but we got a month or more to do that.

 

[Thomas]

42F clear sky slight wind 70F for high.

Country state of mind. :thumbsup:

Spectrum, our ISP) is still doing ... something to our internet access. Every 2-3 hours we lose internet for 10 minutes, give or take. Funny thing we still have TV thru this but lose the phone (VOIP) as well. Wish I knew what was going on!
Add that to "maybe" Verizon signal strength an I'm a bit concerned.
Just got a new phone. The battery in this P-XL has come unreliable. So I'll get down to local Verizon store and have them xfer settings/data and demand a booster while I'm there. Or go for AT&T if not.
