Good Morning!!!! 48F @ 5:00AM. Cloudy skies early, followed by partial clearing. High 54F. Winds light and variable.
Only rain in the 10-day is Friday, so it looks like we're headed back into a dry spell.
Hate to admit it, Billy, but in years past I've Jerry rigged a back feed into a subpanel from the Honda generator to run the well pumps. PITA to use, but much better than going without water, and much less expensive than installing a transfer switch and much, much, much less expensive than installing a solar power system. Just have to remember to ALWAYS open the main breaker to the grid before doing anything else with the hook up.
Where you gonna keep the new trailer, Drew? I keep meaning to repaint my 5x8 each summer, and after failing for several years, it's all a pretty much uniform rust brown now. All from being stored outside, and being painted originally with inferior paint.
Maybe it's just me, but I could do without the conflict inspired by the more controversial topics in my Good Morning feed. Plenty of other online places to get that if I want it.
That photo is just about life size for a Junko, isn't it, Ron?
Got some paperwork done yesterday morning, and by then the sun was out so it was time to start back in on chopping up the downed trees. First two were smaller and came off the pile pretty easy, but after lunch I had to cut a bigger one into sections before I had enough traction to drag it up the muddy hill. Kinda fun going sideways on the tractor, very slowly, though. Now I have a pile of slash large enough to burn again, and the start of another one to feed it once it's going. And that little Makita electric saw is still going strong, but with a good Stihl chain to replace the crappy one it came with.
Almost forgot, there's finally enough water in Lake Oroville to resume power generation at the Hyatt Power Plant in the dam. But only one of the six generators went back online, as they're trying to save as much water as possible for next summer.
Need to make a town run today, but with CV19 admissions going up again, going to be extra careful to mask, sanitize, and distance at each stop. Even though I'll be one of the few doing so, which helps explain the increasing numbers.
Hang in there, gang, Friday's comin'!
