Good morning!!!!

Day took unexpected turn, but not to town.
Found what I thought was a replacement shear bolt for flail. Didn’t last a full circuit, so back to the shed.

Offered my neighbor some of my kabocha soup. She did supply the kabocha. She accepted and was home so I took it over.

Longer story short, I now own this

Grrr, not posting

Wasn’t quite free, $100. Between her, Sophie and I got it loaded onto my pallet forks and brought home.
Always wanted to learn the piano, guess this will be my chance.

Maybe this time

Just ordered myself a weather station Wagtail. A few klm away temps are different to here as is rainfall etc etc.
Not expensive but my last one was destroyed by ants building a nest in it.

I reckon that I'm 7km NW from the aerodrome. Not a huge distance but I'm 'inland' and they're somewhat on a coastal peninsula. The BoM automated station is there, probably for the RFDS flights that happen often. There's always been at least a 2-3C difference between them & I. My thermometer is only that, an outdoor wireless sensor + indoor.

Rainfall-wise, theirs is 'automated' and records in 0.2mm increments, mine is a "handraulic" graduated tube gauge in the middle of my front paddock that I physically check at 0900 (as required).

I like to keep things simple.

good morning all
cool cloudy day going up to high 70s with rain coming in tonight and thunderstorms tomorrow.

Alien, I know almost nothing about RC plane engines but that seems like a really big motor on that plane. How do they rate power
in those engines? Torque? HP?

going to be a quiet day, have housecleaning and wash to do.

Buppies, glad it wasn't more, I've itched for weeks where they did the scrape and burn on my back.
glad I have a long handled wood backscratcher.

58 this morning high of 80 today 90s next week yuk

Prayers for all

Neck sore this morning. Mostly removing food source will cause bears to move on but our bear population is increasing here not sure what I can do

plastic auto ramps came in yesterday, looks like they will do the job perfectly for getting the mower on the new trailer.
but........every time I look at that trailer and think about the golf cart, I realize my planning was pretty
defective here. Oh well. I've screwed up worse... trailer folks are nice, pretty sure they will take this one back and not beat me up too badly.
Golf cart showing up Monday or Tuesday. And then I will take a pic of the golf cart up on the trailer. Maybe.

I'm headed up to the Catskills in two weeks with the golf cart and whatever trailer will take it. Golf cart a lot heavier than mower, but think car will pull it fine.
Still way under tow rating of car.

The Saito FG21 is rated at 2.1 hp. It's 1.2 cu in. Bore is 1.26 inches or 32 mm. 21 cc.
The plane can fly comfortably with a 15cc engine but I need to run this engine in so why not have fun. Much like fitting a V8 in a 6 cylinder car.

Glad to hear it was just your Omron was off. Why would 139/89 make them detain you?

It's just their policy. The time they did it they had me wait in the waiting room for about half an hour, then they took it again and all was fine.

That piano is a bargain David. I used to have a Yamaha organ with revolving speakers for that waa-waa effect.

Well I don't often talk about my health care, but today was almost a record.
Doctor had me come in today because one blood work reading was a little high.
So yesterday evening I did my usual blood pressure check with my Omron cuff and it was like 157/98, very high for me. 115/67 is more like it.
Checked it a couple more times before I went to bed. Still high.
Didn't sleep well.
Checked it in the a.m. several times still high.
Got to the doctors office, worried.
Nurse takes my BP. 120/65. I whip out my Omron cuff, 155 over 95. We double check, apparently I need a new cuff
At my doctors they have detained me once when my numbers were over 139/89 (I had just come up 7 flights of stairs).

I have never trusted those cuffs...they have always read high.
