Ken, I hope you don't have too much trouble to get your money back.... was the situation caused by 'lack of activity' on the account?

Drew, I have a busy day planned for sure! Hope everything gets done easy-peasy!

Check... that's a postcard picture for sure! Beautiful!

Ron, I had to search for the dandelion leaves....:)

39°F and clear skies this morning, going up to 78° today.

Haven't been on here since late last week. Lots of catching up to do later.

Yes LS, inactivity, but seems some funny business on their side. They don;t even know which state took the money (if any)!

Interesting setup for your network, David. Lots of overlap. I've been thinking of adding an extender in the barn. It's 60 yards from the house, and our wifi router is right next to the kitchen window, so we get good line-of-sight reception out there. However, once we get the dog agility course and new shooting range set up in the pasture (behind the barn), it would be nice to have reception out there as well. I know The Wife will be spending a lot of time out there. With any luck, so will I. :D

Congrats on the move, Drew. Seems like you're being warmly welcomed back home. I share your frustration with inconsiderate drivers. As someone who drives the posted speed limit, I rarely pass anyone. However, those who pass me are frequently doing 20mph or more faster than me. On the drive to work this morning, it seemed more people than normal left too late to get wherever they needed to be on time. Wifey recently bought two new dash cams for our cars. I still need to get mine installed. This one has front and rear cameras. I've often thought of stringing together some clips of what it's like to drive the speed limit when everyone around me appears unbound by that limit. Sometimes, I'm amazed that they didn't actually hit me.

Kyle, the amount of PA you'll need depends on the material and the venue. You'll need more power outside than inside, obviously. If it's just your daughter singing and an instrument or two, a small system with speakers on stands (what we call "boxes on sticks") will work fine . If there's a full band with drums and bass, she'll probably need a larger system with subwoofers, especially outdoors. You might check with some local bands or club owners to see who they use. Those guys haven't been working all year, so there should be plenty of options available, and they will be more than happy to supply your needs.

One of the things we did over the weekend, Roy, was to record the details of our gun collection on a spreadsheet. We did this partly for insurance purposes, which will hopefully never be needed. More so, though, it provides a reference for my Wife of what is what, and what ammo it uses. She likes to shoot, but she's not a gun nut like I am. It's not a large collection (23, to be exact), but it's more than she cares to try to remember. Along with the info, we also took individual photos of them all, with any magazines or bayonets or other accessories that go with them. We made two reference books; one is in the gun safe for quick reference, and one is in the valuables safe. One of the shotguns, a Remington 870 12g, I bought from a former coworker back in '03. He'd won it in a raffle somewhere, but never shot it. When he told me he'd won it, I offered to buy it from him, but he declined. When that place was closing and letting people go a couple years later, he came to me and asked if I still wanted it, so I bought it for $150 ... brand new, unfired. I took it home and put it in my safe, where it sat for almost three years before I finally shot it.

68°F and .45 inches rain.

Hope to get the Hilo end of property mowed today, but first I’ll be watching the Apple event while Sophie takes the Pilot for servicing and safety inspection. and I’ll be on puppy duty Makani still small enough to get between some of the fence stiles so not quite ready to let him have free reign unobserved. Simba teases him to go outside their inner fence.

Picked last of the cucumbers, some tomatoes, and red sweet peppers.


Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Best of luck with septic Buppies. Gotta be frustrating.

Good Morning crew,

The rain was slow and steady yesterday, it was supposed to let up by afternoon and did not.
Maybe it clears us this afternoon.

Better luck on the septic Buppies. Must be some strange warped reality we live in between us. My wife told me yesterday she called the county for some special person to come out and look at ours. We seem to have a pretty big wet spot on one of our lines. Or at least we think it is off one of the lines. And wet means mushy puddles. I told her it could be a spring. LOL.

On the HD front, I retooled with that ugly green manufacturer. Yeah, same battery for all the tools. Making my life simple. If I get half the lifetime I got out of my Black and Decker I will be satisfied.

Took the final measurements for the front porch siding, patched some ceiling holes, and moved a chair out to the porch to test that view out. Now on a compressed schedule to see if I can beat father time. The news was not good from the ortho, partial tear, some fancy ligament name in the rotator cuff. I kind of figured it was bad the other day when I went to hop the front fence and face planted when the arm did not cooperate.

Hope all have a good day. Be safe.

Rip, I’ve been quite pleased with my ugly green tools. Yea, sometimes I’ll drool a bit when passing by the other colors, but mentally I just can’t justify the price difference, but I can rationalize picking up a piece that will see lesser use.

Best of luck with shoulder.

Inventorying one's firearms is a great idea, if only for insurance purposes!

not a particularly successful day. Even having genuine birth certificate with me, DMV rejected me because I didn't have my social security card (mine dissolved in washing machine...:rolleyes:), didn't have tax return and one other piece of paper with SS number on it, and didn't have two pieces of mail addressed to me at new location. Geez....they were pleasant though.
Then I bought some lamps at Lowes and when I got home, after getting styrofoam fuzzies everywhere, the bail and finial were missing. Meant tearing the box apart, more fuzzies, but nope, never packed. Called company, they were nice and were sending out parts in a week. Lastly repair guy came same day to replace the super noisy fan in the refrigerator, and while much quieter, it made more noise than he thought it should. He told me to see if it quieted down and if not they'd come back and replace it again. Great service from local company, Hendricks over in Stockton NJ, about five miles away. He was a Brit from the Midlands he said.

Tomorrow I'm off to Board of Elections to get registered, hope that goes better than today.
