Good Morning!!!! 57F @ 7:15AM. Abundant sunshine. High near 80F. Winds light and variable.
Another perfect day of weather, one I intend to take advantage of from the seat of a motorcycle instead of the tractor, or standing at a bench or crawling under something.
Hopefully in the process of cleaning up the Steiner you'll gain some insights into what might be ailing it, Kyle. Or at least figuring out where the important bits are hidden. Sort of like an Easter Egg hunt with a bucket of soapy water and a hose.:laughing:
Usta make one day there and back trips to Albuquerque from the SF Bay area, Paul, one time for a meeting nobody bothered to tell me was cancelled.
Made for some very long days, and I don't miss doing that at all...
Good luck with your doodle search, Buppies!
Mother Nature must of heard you were getting low on sand at the bridge, and decided to make sure you had plenty more to dig, Bill.:thumbsup:
Were you able to find a shop vac that was both quiet and had good tool storage, Drew? They seem to be something of unicorns, at least from the hunting I've done. Don't bother with HF bungie cords, either, unless you plan on replacing them regularly.
Will those new fish help in the battle of the weed monster, Eric?
I thought you were a bass player, Paul. That one looks like it has a couple of extra strings?:confused3::laughing:
Glad you'll make it out of the deep freeze this weekend, Ted. Hope the water does some good for all your new plantings, too!
Happy to hear your paintings have come to light, Drew. My experience with delivery drivers isn't that great, either. It seems like putting packages where they'll be safe would be common sense, but common sense seems not to be so common these days.
Regretably, "chasing my wounded (insert animal of choice)" is the excuse most trespassers/poachers use, Ken. See if you can get a license plate number or photos, and pass 'em along to the police or game warden. Otherwise the bad behavior will only continue.
Productive trip to town yesterday, and got everything on the list. The allergist recently halved their office hours for injections, and when I got there for the 1:30PM opening time, the office was already swamped, no one honoring the CV19 distancing requirements. Fortunately there's a nice park bench outside the door, and I had it all to myself. I even heard the nurse call my name; she had a good set of lungs on her.:laughing: The fella at the hydraulic shop had the fittings I needed to plug the unused lines to the defective tractor valves, continuing their streak of having everything I needed in stock. And I got out of there for less than ten bux! The kid behind the counter at the BMW dealership had never seen a motorcycle with a headlight on/off switch before, so I unwrapped the one I was picking up so he could see it. I usually ride with my headlight on, but there are times where it only serves to drag the battery down. The postal clerk remarked that I saved ten bux when I put my bad valves in a "fits-it-ships" flat rate box; he seemed surprised at how much they weighed.
Used the duster part of the RG to blow off the red bike for today's trip when I got home, got everything packed, air in the tires and topped up the oil, and it's all set to go. Just need to eat a little breakfast while it warms up a bit. I'm packing a camp stove and freeze dried meals this time around, as most of the restaurants on the coast seem to be either limiting their hours and number of tables, or are outright closed. I'm also packing a cooler so I can keep fresh food from the grocery store cold. The KOA where the event is held has put on a nice smorgasbord in recent years, but that's a victim of CV19 this year. We also have to halve the number of tents in each campsite. But the show must go on!
Connectivity ain't that great over there, so hope everyone enjoys the weekend, and I'll check back in again Sunday or Monday...
