When can I bring my rim up? .

When is good for you?

Good late (Monday) morning. The overnight Low was 2C but now that the wind has come back the High is probably only going to reach 10C. It's supposed to remain like this until the weekend. (daugen, Mate, be careful what you wish for. I reckon that your 'mid-January' temps & conditions are more brutal than mine) There was 1.5mm of rain in the gauge, mostly from yesterday.

A few branches down from yesterday's winds, including one that was across a fence. Fortunately it didn't break the wire and I was able to lift it off.

There was supposed to be a Church Council meeting this arvo but the 'Chairman' is down with, I believe you're calling it, alligatoritis. So that'll be postponed.

I've spotted the "Mad Horse Woman" a couple of times, so I know that she's alive & well. (she's a very nice lady, just 'giddy as a schoolgirl' regarding 'her horse'.)

That's about it, take care all.

Ted, all the PV are mounted on the tractorshed roof, not the house. All the screw replacement is the house roof. Tractorshed roof only benefit from some power washing right now. If, in future I do need to replace those screws I would have to lift each section of panels, not something I would look forward to

Thanks for sharing your layout! looks great.

Rain shower just hit unexpectedly, so cooled off a bit...but should climb back up...to 87.

Thanks for concerns and prayers for my wife...she is doing much better.

Son and DIL came in last night and brought pizza so we wouldn't have to cook. We stayed up talking until after 1am, which is really late for me, since I still wake up and get up early to feed the birds and chipmunks.

I went grocery shopping yesterday and my wife calls and says the drainpipe under the kitchen sink had slipped apart, and water everywhere. So worked on that when I got home...temp repair until I buy some new plastic pipe...while under the sink, noticed a tiny drip from the hot water feed (copper)...so I'll have to take a closer look once our guests leave tomorrow, then make a run to the hardware store.

Also need to roast coffee for my son and DIL to take home...my roasting plan was interrupted when I had to take my wife to the clinic Friday.

BEF, is that an EA grapple? Sorry it got damaged.

Thomas, sorry your Florida friend passed.

Prayers for your wifey, Buppies, Randy, and the rest of our team members in need. Also for our country and Ukraine.

Took wifey and 2 kids to "Hot Nights Cool Tunes" in Brenham Texas yesterday evening. Very good band from DFW, Ashmore. Played many an oldie.

Speedaire Air compressor seems to be doing fine. We had a Jet 1.5 hp motor go south at work. Motor guy says usually when/if the starter contacts don't disengage. Jet equipment is not all that great IMHO.

I got the small 2 stroke Troybilt mini tiller running. I had ordered a new carb but the one they sent did not have a primer bulb circuit. Sent it back, ordered a new gasket kit from Tillotson, and some other parts. Had trouble with the thin wire spring that controls the butterfly valve in the carb, but eventually got it to the right length. It has a Tecumseh TC 200 engine.

Other than that, it's been so hot, I have no motivation to go work in the barn. Looks like all week here will be 104-107F highs each day....uhgh.

Mostly, only 37 miles??? Wow! Dedication.

Drew, I'm glad your PA team helped you get a solution. hope your upcoming treatment helps you out.

PJS, any further activity across the street? Many inner cities have a revolving door for criminals.

Church was good today. Martha Martha....putting things into perspective. Going to get setup to air The Chosen in my Sunday school class.

When is good for you?

Next Saturday.
I was joking, but by the time I get to Messicks I’d be about half way there.
Looks like I can buy the inner disk, will have to get a price.
Tires are loaded, so not sure how to support them to take them off by myself. Maybe build a frame on a pallet that I can strap it to, then I could move it upright with pallet Jack.

There are 2 studs with lug nuts, and 4 bolts. Two of the bolts and one lug nut would frequently come loose. So I check them often. Kept meaning to put loc tite on. I didn’t check before moving some logs last week, and I thought it felt funny running it just about 20-30 ft down the road. Only 286 hrs on the tractor which is 12 yrs old

Sounds like thunder in the distance.

Now close.

I’m only 3 hrs from doylestown, what could go wrong on a 3 hr tour?

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Going to get setup to air The Chosen in my Sunday school class.

A great series. Highly recommend it. Can’t wait for the next season.
