That's a LOT of daffodils, RS!

And yet, it's not even half of what I have to plant as far as daffodils go (250 bulbs)

The company that picks up trash here doesn't provide a separate recycle bin, and doesn't have drop off recycling either, Drew. And Waste Management in town shut down their collection site, as did the one helping developmentally disabled people. Truth be told, I've read that it actually costs more to recycle glass than make it from raw materials, so in reality, recycling it is just another tree hugger feel good thing.

At least as far as economic side of things goes.

OTOH, it's one less thing inserted into the waste stream ...

Double checked all the measurements on the transmission yesterday, cleaned everything up again and reassembled, and it still turns with what feels like too much resistance. Put it in the oven at 250F for a few hours, and when hot, everything feels like it should. And now that it's cool, it freed up some but it's still a little stiff. The handbook I'm using suggested using grease between the shims to hold them in place, but it very well could be that the stuff I used is too thick and is taking up too much room. If that's the case, it'll eventually squish out and the resistance will go down. I'm tempted use it like it is, but it's very likely I'll take it apart one more time and adjust the shimming on the input shaft to give it just a few more ten thousandths of an inch more clearance. And use oil instead of grease to hold the shims in place. Hard to believe that that small of an amount could make such a difference, but it apparently does. The specified tolerance range is 0.002" - 0.004". Live and learn.

Good luck with it.

Hopefully the third time will be a charm ...

44 degrees and sunny, pretty nice actually. Got everything done outside, used my new tree trimming pole to do the one tall tree and that seemed to work, though I realize why folks go up and down on taller trees instead of round and round. Then I put down more lights on the bushes, tested everything, and then taped up all the connections.
Will "build" inside 4 footer tomorrow morning when it's cold out.
Thanksgiving looks like a nice day.
Muffins were quite edible, most for family, four for neighbor.
That means I only ate one, which is being exceptionally good for me.
Extra cup of local tart apple diced up, plus cup of blueberries, cinnamon and vanilla.

67°F and no rain

Today marks my 75th trip around the sun Bo, whodda thought? I remember back when thinking 75 was really old!

Today’s focus will be TDay prep. 18 fully vaccinated friends will be here tomorrow for a potluck dinner. I’m responsible for the ham and turkey.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Hope you have a great one.

You can see the Electrician in this video. I think I will delete the video soon. LOL His son is working with him. He is a nice young fellow.

One of you two needs to brush up on their astronomy...

Copernicus figured out heliocentrism 500 years ago!
75 years old, we're all on planet Earth (I hope). 365 days in a year (one trip around sun a day) so 27,375 trips around the sun...correct?

 

[Fuddy1952]

Actually according to NASA a year is 365 days, 5 hours, 59 minutes and 16 seconds.
So that means at the exact moment David's Pediatrician smacked his bottom that was 2,366,816,700 seconds ago .

...we're all on planet Earth...

I'm not so sure about some of these guys...

David...just don't do what this lady did
