I'm surprised that you didn't replace the igniters also;

Actually, I did replace them. Nice tool, but as I said, I hate working on oil burners and avoid them like the plague. My goal was to get them heat, and have them get the furnace properly serviced by someone else.

Now I need to figure out how to get the back half of my tractor back.
Need some counterweight to my FEL or I'll go flying...;)

I had to increase the size of the background to 400x400 pixels and then crop it square to fix mine yesterday, Drew.

RNG, no luck on air drop. My SE version is 13.7. I unloaded lots to get enough memory for a upgrade but still have to delete more. I will just get a new phone soon.

mornin, cold , lots of black ice and very windy. So far only small branches on the ground , just lots of them.
Doe I see by the road lying down each morning was not there this morning, guess she moved on early.
Was funny watching her sleep under the front hunters tree seat.

It would seem that it would be easier / quicker .. for those making the changes that caused the "avatar issue" to fix the problem, rather than thousands of members having to individually make a correction?

Turns out that AirDrop uses both Bluetooth and WiFi, and has been around since 2012. Here's some more info.

One thing that might not be obvious to everyone is that airdrop only will work with a Mac computer, not with windows.

Good morning. It's 46° with an 11 mph north breeze. Our forecast says 63° this afternoon. Yesterday was cold, damp, windy, with rain off and on so .. a dryer day today is welcome.

We've got VFD apparatus checks this evening so .. we'll have to work around all the heavy earth moving machinery presently working on site prep for our new building. There's mud everywhere from our recent rains, snow, ice.

Today is Texas Independence Day and the 185th Anniversary of Texas declaring independence from Mexico on March 2nd .. 1836.


I spent yesterday morning in the big shop trouble shooting one of my air compressors .. a roughly 10 year old Craftsman "oil less".

It runs but will not build any pressure in the tank. I removed all the covers and the top of the head .. expecting to see damaged reeds on the valve plate.

The reeds look to be okay but .. I went online to partselect.com and ordered a new valve plate, the o-ring for bottom of the VP, the "D" o-ring for the top of the VP, and a piston o-ring JIC. They conformed my order but .. have not yet confirmed a ship date.

Perhaps the "Giddings Compressor Whisperer" will whisper some advise to me.

I've got a Porter-Cable pancake compressor to get me by but .. it's obviously pretty limited. This is probably a "good excuse" to go buy a "real air compressor" somewhere around 5 HP, 240 volts, 60-80 gallons and 14 CFM .. or better at 90 psi.

I trimmed several trees after our bad weather and took down a good sized oak the was leaning onto an even bigger oak. All are in areas, to wet to use tractors w/o lots of damage to fix later.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Prayers to all.

28°F and clear skies this morning, going up to 55° today.

We ran into the same pricing issues, too, Drew. It is definitely not a buyer's market right now. Hope you can work something out with the current place.
