Good morning!!!!

[Wagtail]

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low was, again, 10.4C and it's presently 12.4C. It was sunny with a mist when I awoke but is now beginning to cloud over. Rain for most of yesterday but it really poured down around midnight, with thunder! There was 13.5mm in the gauge @ 0730.

I'm off to Church in a half hour and then the rest of the day is His.

That's about it, take care all.

OK, just couldn’t resist. Had to hook it up and a couple squirts.

Amazon.com

At $110, I’m happy. And mine came with the 2 additional brushes.

wonderful pics Frits, please thank your daughter
some place I'll never get to. Can't drive there and too far to boat.
Too bad there isn't a big river going up and down South Africa so you could take a river cruise ship
in complete comfort, and safety, going the whole way.
A boat trip down the Nile looking at pyramids sounds like fun. But how about getting through the jungle?
could you ask your daughter to swing by the pyramids on her way home and get some good pics?

I wonder what the first thing that comes to mind is when one of the locals there see your daughter's friends.
human nature is so wary of folks who are different
lot of history.

when RS is done with that appliance it will run better than new.

my water filters are terrible. Pressure drops too soon, getting more like three months out of them instead of six.
And they are before my copper pipes, not after.
Really need a small unit at kitchen for drinking water.
acidic coppery water. yuk.

Really the solution is to get rid of the copper pipes.
There isn't that much of it, tiny house with one bathroom, but copper is leaching like mad.
It constantly stains the appliances and I'm sick of using CLR and other specialty cleaners on it.
plus I wonder what is going into my body.

now that I have my new pex tool, look out, he's on the loose.
I'll get OJT on the rv and graduate to the house.
Maybe I"ll have Ken over to supervise. Apples are in so my powers of bribery have increased.

The copper pipes are good for general health. I wish I had them in this house like we had in our 100+ year-old house in Jersey.

"why did it post twice don't know"

It is a sign of the awakening consciousness of all the computers on the internet. They are starting to exercise their free will and do stuff. We may already be too dependent on them to stop it.

Daisy, Daisy,
Give me your answer true…

68°F and no rain.

Will get that last AP either reset or replaced. I do have a spare. Then I can test coverage in various spots. Have a bit of cleanup at the Cottage from the antenna work. Our Canadian friends are scheduled to return on the 30th.

Received the SunJoe electric PW that was a bargain buy during Prime. Would like to get unboxed and checked out but with this drought quite reluctant to waste any water.

Anyone ever shred cardboard? Read some interesting stuff on using a heavy duty paper shredder. Seems like a better use as soil amendment or mulch than hauling off. Would be good for all that junk mail that needs to be opened before shredding for the current shredder which is more than 10 years old.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

I have been looking, without success, for the mill gizmo that slits cardboard with alternate slits (almost like expanded metal grating) for packing material. Sometimes I get packaging with orders like that, and I think it would be a great way to mill cardboard for lasagna gardening for fast breakdown and water/nutrient permeability.

Drew-
Typically the pre charge in a pressure tank for a water system is set a few psi below the cut in pressure for the pump, which can vary. A common setting is 40 cut in 60 cut out, but I have no experience with an RV system to give you any guidance on what pressures are used for cut in or out. Because it’s all one level, it might be lower, but I have no clue.

As far as copper and your staining, you might want to install a whole house acid neutralizer, as acid water will cause copper and brass to leach out of the pipe and fittings. Eventually the tubing can become porous.

I think it is called Honeycomb Wrapping Paper. You can buy it at Amazon. I haven't seen the machine that makes it.

Speaking of honeycomb here is an interesting process.

There must be something out there, because I have received packing material that was quite obviously random cardboard with shipping labels, brand names, etc. It probably is not difficult to make one,just need the time and a couple gears…

Both power supplies for the block heaters work. The remotes do not, I've got batteries coming from Amazon. I will grab a 20' string of L.E.D. Christmas lights from Canadian Tire at the end of the month.
That'll take care of the tractor shed, the Dodge garage I can see from the kitchen window and it has a 10' string already there.
