Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

we just went over 2 inches here, back yard starting to flood, as expected.

bad train derailment in IA yesterday, but someone flew a drone over wreck that shows chemicals leaking into stream below.
Not a good day on the railroad.

Kenmbz. I can relate to lights being left on in the house. Always flicking them off. It was quite a dark place a while back but I spent $4,000 getting 4 skylights installed which made a big difference but light switch habits seem hard to break.
Scaredy, hope the little dog turns up safe. I would be out of my mind. I found some wandering on my place last Christmas and caught one but the other ran into the bush. Turned out the neighbours 2 klm down the road had family staying and it was their dogs. They were thankful I had caught one and 6 hours later the other one turned up back at their place thankful to be home.
Hope you get the SIL problem sorted. Couldn't for the life of me imagine living with mine.
Doug

Incidentally, I turned out the light at 9.00 p.m. and woke at 12.00. Not sure why. It is usually shoulder pain / numbness but not this time. Needle has certainly worked some. Now nearly 2.00 a.m. and have been surfing for the last couple of hours. Think I will get up and have a bite to eat. Have a great day / night all.

70°F and .65 inches rain.

Did get most of the interior mowing yesterday. Just the pool area and Cottage left, Scag mows due to some narrow areas.

Need to finish up prep for my concrete work. Still planning on Thu being the day.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Has happened to me too getting too close to the pond and sliding in when trying to get out. Then trying to pull it out with another tractor until that sunk in and then getting the Unimog truck and a long tow line. Still not coming out so got the big tractor and used the tilt on the bucket to generate leverage against the ground to pivot and move the tow line a foot or so and repeat

...and the power went out for two minutes and I was annoyed to sit in a perfectly dark room with a non functional UPS on computer.
Could be operator error but doubt it, maybe battery has given up. Cyberpower 750, any other brands recommended?

I have the Cyberpower 1500VA Sine Wave from Costco ($179) I think I got it 3 years ago and it was used a lot during the rolling 2 hour power outages in Feb. 2021. I just checked and it has 164 minutes estimated run time if power should go out.

Whoops...

I only do that with the zeroturn or the rider ... and I seem to do it a couple times a year . Came close with the tractor once or twice, but have not stuck it yet.

Ditto, I am good for getting the ZTR sideways at least twice a year. I hit a wet spot and it just slides right into the muck. Then, you know....you just have to try and drive your way out. LOL. Which makes it sink just a whole lot more. LOL.

I surely have not spent the last hour doing what I wanted to.
Good news, rain stopped at about two inches
bad news is I had unplugged the sump pump in plugging in the hot tub and well, the results are as expected...
inch of water over entire basement, thank goodness everything is up on pallets or shelves. So an hour with shop vac, again..., and now the fan is blowing and everything plugged into
proper receptacle.
never ever ever going to unplug that sump pump again.
repeat

did order a new UPS, wanted one that seemed to put emphasis on good output, not just number of minutes.
Seems my nice new 10kw gen has some pretty unimpressive THD specs. Very unimpressive.
So I'm hoping if I use a unit touting sine wave it will help. A perfect sine wave is 0 percent THD?
Devil is always in details.

clearly states battery replaceable, a must have. Current one says no from factory, yes from tinkerers.

it was my trip down to get new bottle of MopNGlow that led to my distraction. Came up with wet feet, mopped the floors, waiting for them to dry.
I have a number of deliveries today including a rug for downstairs so glad the rain has stopped.
