Sorry to hear LS, our prayers and thoughts with you and the family.

LS, sorry about BIL.
Things like that is why I decided to retire when I did. You just never know.

So... turkey for her dinner?

No, chicken. I would harvest a few but my wife wouldn't eat it. We see them feeding in the fields after the manure spreaders go though. It doesn't bother me but my wife can't handle the thought of what they are picking through.

Drew, any heat in there will help, especially if it's warm during the day. Worth a shot to try any

And a shot I gave it, three full shots actually and no joy, no heat.
Piezo ignition works great, big spark.
no gas.
new 30 gallon tank
held down button for almost a minute, purging line
nothing
repeat
nothing
sigh
I'm guessing next thing is to undo line at top and make sure propane vapor is getting out that end and not stuck
at the regulator.
I did get some flowers out getting a measured dose of real sun, surprising how quickly they green up.
about an hour and a half and brought them back in.
would be nice to leave the larger ones in the greenhouse, which was the plan
State Fair zinnias continue to grow

Many times the excess flow valve on those tanks is very sensitize, when opening the hand valve on the tank open it slowly and sometimes you may have to stop when you hear flow and wait a bit before opening the valve the rest of the way.

I made the decision not to work for wages any longer than I had to when a guy I knew very well dropped over dead at the office one day. He was fairly young probably like 60, but that seemed old to me at the time.

Now I can pretty much do whatever I want to for whoever I want to and often for no charge and I find I do more and more for no charge and enoy it better.

Don't chickens do the same thing?

yep, I think you made a good choice! Considering that I knew 3 coworkers that died (younger than me), it was a no brainer to retire when the injury worsened and can't be fixed. They would have moved me into an admin position, but after being on the street for 17 years..... no thanks, won't drive a desk.....

Shush, besides which see only likes boneless skinless chicken breast from the grocery store. I have served her baked and grilled "pasture" raised chicken and see didn't like it the flavor was to strong.
It gets interesting at times as I prefer the dark meat as it has at least a little flavor. She's the same way on pork and beef, likes store bought. Thinks the flavor is "off" on the good beef I get so she suffers through that and I'll buy the flavorless store chicken.

Family calls still occurring, lots of emotions flowing. We'll be talking to him later this afternoon. Worst thing about it was the oncologist had reported that the original area was 70% eliminated after the first rounds of treatment. This just hit like a brick....
