Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

bang bang on the door
honeydippers are here
They had been here before, knew where to go.
I walked outside after getting dressed and was hit with this absolutely horrible smell near their truck.
Plus there was smoke pouring out of the pump area. ??
I walked around the house and chit chatted with these guys, his father pumped my tank in 1977 at my first home here.
They did a great job, cleaned out the tank and the pump house and there was zero smell near the tank. It was all near their truck.

Oh they said, that smell isn't you, your stuff is almost all clear water, it's what was already in the truck that is venting.
And the smoke kept pouring out and it smelled like burning rubber. I think it was a rubber vane or diaphragm pump of some kind, full trash, and something
rubber inside was burning up. They didn't seem concerned. 500 gph pump and having driven fire trucks, I honestly think their pump was melting down.
But he was quite proud that they washed that Peterbilt every morning. Ok, it was time for me to be quiet. If he wants smoke pouring out of his very expensive tanker truck
just can't imagine that ending well.

Is RNG on a trip?
Come back PJ

66°F and spotty rain this morning, going up to 73° today with more rain later.

Beyond that, I've lost interest in being in this thread today.

Have a good day, gents.

I'm not sure if it was too much politics or something else but I hope he isn't gone for good.

76F and sunny. Nice day. Mowed the lawn here at the house. I changed the EGO over to the mulcher blades. The EGO did a nice job no clippings showing. Maybe not as good as the high lift blades.

Don't you know there was an ad on Craigslist today for a Ferris which is almost the same as the Simplicity I just bought. Had a Kawasaki 25 hp with 735 hr for half what I payed. I like the Ferris red a little better but I'll live with the Simplicity.

Strawberries are in at the local farm stand. They are the little berries that taste like candy. They had watermelons and cantaloupe from Florida, Blueberries from Georgia, Cherries and nectarines from California. Fruit time.

Cherries in Texas are up in price this year at $6.99 lb. Are they that high where you are?

Cherry Vanilla "ice cream" sounds pretty good right now with just vanilla bean, frozen cherries and bananas.

They want us to buy electric cars.

Maybe by rising fuel prices just another way have no choice sooner than later....hmmm.

 

[Thomas]

Where’s PJ?????

Buppies, hope all is well with kidneys.

Guess we better let the hounds out and sniff PJ down....also Eric.

owner of local gas station told my brother gas was going up 25 cents tomorrow
maybe I can break a hundred bucks filling up car and one gas can...

nice chat with my brother and his wife, had a non alcoholic beer, I think Heineken Zero which wasn't bad
Gave him his birthday present early, a pair of 10x52 Leupold binoculars. He has an ancient pair of steiners which are really heavy, but better for
night vision. These will be better long range glasses for him. He just fully retired and has decided to take up golfing with his grandson.
So he bought a set of clubs today; unfortunately I know nothing about golf nor want to learn.

neck is killing me from mowing the lawn this afternoon and all of morning's activities. Since I was up at 4am, not going to be a late night.
Thomas, enjoy your date night.

Just filled up. Regular gasoline $4.339 per gallon - up 4¢ from last week.
Part of the "“incredible transition.”

 

[LouNY]

I topped off my tank today $4.899 for regular.
Of course the big shocker was this morning when I called my normal coal supplier,
he was out of coal and just learned the new pricing and with transportation,
it will be close to $600/ton and possibility a bit over.
I paid $280/ ton last year.
