Good Morning!!!! 47F @ 7:45AM. A mix of clouds and sun. High 62F. Winds light and variable.
Still no rain in the 10-day, and TV weather guesser's long range outlook was for dryer and warmer than normal. La Nina isn't living up to the promises here in NorCal.
I'll add my voice to the Happy Thanksgiving chorus; indeed, there is a LOT to be thankful for.
Sorry about the unpleasant birthday surprise, David.
Nice bluejay, Ron.
Got an email update from Starlink, complaining about chip shortages but announcing a new, smaller, and easier to manufacture dish assembly. But now they've pushed availability in this area back to mid 2022.
I got the cover off the transmission again yesterday, then started cleaning the grease off the shim stacks. One stack only had one shim in it, another had too many. Classic brain fart on my part, and good thing I triple checked my work. Still didn't like the idea of using grease to hold the shims in place, so instead made up a pair of studs from all thread to guide the cover back into place so it wouldn't disturb the shims. Worked perfectly, and now transmission shifts and spins like it should. Now it's on to service the clutch and oil pump before the transmission goes back in.
Took the bird out of the freezer yesterday to thaw and it's ready to go. Somewhere around here is a rotisserie attachment for the BBQ that I don't recall using before, so I'll see if I can get it going. Only gonna be me at the table; being a single it's always a bit awkward joining another family for their celebration, not to mention traveling for the weekend, and it's just easier and more enjoyable to stay on my own. I'm dodging leftovers by preparing a single Cornish game hen.
Hope everyone has an enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday.
