18 degrees this morning. Heavy frost overnight. The dog just came in, wet with "snow" on him. Not a cloud in sight. The "snow" must be coming off the trees. Pretty, but a bit strange.

Dec 7 - A day that will live in infamy!

Looks like the best value for a battery chainsaw is the 16” EGO with the 5ah battery at $299 on Amazon. I can get $50 off making it the same price as just a 5ah battery and then have an extra battery for my lawnmower.
The 14” only come with a 2.5 Ah battery.

68°F and .90 inches rain

Off to Hilo town this morning. Sophie’s ophthalmologist appointment and in town errands.

Hope wx for the day dries up, otherwise it will be an indoor day.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Good evening! 45 now and drizzling. Been about 45 all day. As rs said, next 10 days are gonna be dreary in this part of the world.

Just dabbled on stuff in the garage today. Need to make a couple of calls about the paint for the bike and it can come apart.

Made supper tonight. Chicken and biscuits, it was a hit.





Gonna take it easy this evening.

Everyone stay safe out there!
Any leftovers by chance. ;)

Good morning.
-2 C. During night we have got like 10 cm of snow.
Made good job with Yanmar and broom. But looking at forecast is seems at evening will be another 10 cm. Dont care. 😎
Just need to ran to tank, get some diesel (I dont keep smelly liquids at home, maybe I should... )

Tried to drive to office. it is 11 km. Waze told 40 minutes. Which is "normal" for going across big city (650k ppl lives in Riga). Anyway, started to drive, Waze adjusted to 55 minutes
Fck that, today I am "working" from home 🤣


This is the view trough my (not yet finished) "winter garden". I am kinda "working" from there 🤣
View attachment 773546🤣

47F and cloudy @ 11:00, currently under a "Dense Fog Advisory. Heading up to a high of around 50F. LWS reports 0.13 of rain since midnight, 0.04" yesterday.

Not much action at the feeder this morning, single crow walking around on the ground. Bunch more over in the neighbor's woods though. Probably need to check it and see if it needs refilled.

Large flock of starlings out foraging over on the east side though:

There were many more beyond those, up towards the front.

Decent progress yesterday.

Another 18+ gallons of water drawn, pre filters for HOB filters cleaned out. One HOB cleaned out, also gravel vacuumed on several tanks.

Found a large, dark Julidochromis dickfeldi hiding in one of the tanks that I didn't know was still in there. Also the Neolamprologus multifasciatus seem to have quite a colony going in their tank. Have one of those upstairs I need to move down.

Four containers of white worms tended and fed, probably going to take a while for them to recover and recolonize.

Got sediment drained out of water heater, probably had to dump 35+ gallons of water to do it. Will likely hit it one more time today and see if any more crud comes out.

Some cleaning done in utility and family rooms, also more organizing of hardware.

More tools and grow bags moved downstairs. Now have the stuff necessary to hook up the stove pipe to the wood furnace.

Found out I have more time on the Medicare/insurance, so that can be put off for at least a little while. Woman did get her plan changed though.

Agenda for today:

Finish sediment drain of water heater.

Clean furnace filter.

Check brine tank for softener.

Check pre charge on water tank.

More work on unloading shelves along the south wall of utility room.

Probably more vacuuming and clean back there too.

Plus whatever else comes up.

Hope everyone has a good Hump Day ... (y)

pretty gunked up after 8 months. guess I have to do twice a year regularly
got effective counsel from both Paul and Ken, and with confidence knowing which way to really push, off they came.
Will do the ph/calcite filter next time. It's double this size.

now to get a new valve

Just rinse it off and put filter back in, like my dad does.

that might work a little while with the sediment filter, but the charcoal filters is just useless paper by then.
actually I could have/should have taken the calcite filter out to see if it needed washing off. That would tell me if anything was getting past
the first stage.

Haven't been able to post for a while due to hands but then I fell and broke my leg so have been in hospital. Because I went by ambulance I had no tablet with me. Wasn't happy with the noisy ward that I was eventually moved too and complaints went nowhere so I spat the dummy at 2.30 a.m. this morning and crutched my way out. Signed a self discharge thingy and phoned a taxi. $75 later I was home much to the surprise of my wife.
