Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

good morning, 49 going to 59 and raining hard

Cody woke up early and wanted to go out. Wet trip

Have to go in to the shop to change windshield. Apparently it is too big for mobile change

Cleaned up parts for the yard hydrant. No luck finding parts so braze brass stem to steel rod is on the agenda. Will it work will see? If not dig it up and change it
If changing I will use a brand that I can get parts for like a us made one

Fixed a corner of the roof on the machine shed that a dump truck had damaged. Had to change some of the wood and use some of the long timber screws to get it together. Need to go find sealant to seal some of the old screw holes

Also off loaded lumber for the barn repair

Looking to get a 120 volt pressure washer although it has its limitations but it will save getting the big Honda engine one out in many instances. Kranzle is the top of the line

mostly hope surgery goes well and Bubbies hang in there

Costco has a husqvarna one right now. $239 for 2300 psi.

Another longer night she left early this morning in downtown Boones Mill just sitting. Another doctors appointment to cancel am at end of rope.

Prayers for all our Country

Don’t know what to say, but hang in there. We are told we will not be given a burden we can’t bear.

48° and .6” of rain so far.
Son made it to work ok. He’s not a very experienced driver, as he has always avoided interstates and such if he could. Now he’s going an hour each way to the city. Friday he missed an exit and had to take Baltimore beltway, and he did fine.
Oldest son flew to Colorado Springs for a wedding this weekend, he got back to TN yesterday. I filed his taxes last night, he had to pay.

Turns out the SIL's place has Locust trees, not Hawthorn. The thorns look like this. Damn things are deadly!! Oh, my thumb is intact, it's just curled under the hand...

Hang in there Buppies. Prayers for the best.

35F going to 50F and partly cloudy. I think Scott needs to go into the table making business. Sign me up.

Hope everyone has a great day !!!

Looking at 120 volt pressure waters it is limited to 15 amps perhaps 20 with upgraded breaker. That sets the parameter for pressure and flow. Prefer higher flow around 2 gpm which limits it to about 1400 psi. Nozzles can be changed of course to change the flow.

If you're going to be using an extension cord, get/use a good one - 12 gauge.

PSI & GPM have the same relationship to power as Amps & Volts.
To maintain the same power, one has to go down if the other goes up. On a pressure washer, nozzle orfice size is the primary control.

Morning all, 44 going to 52 and rain,
Good supper and afterwards we all piled in my truck and went to town to pick up son at work and get milkshakes for the relatives.
Dogs came with us and had a great walk around town.

Son's driving is ok Drew, he still has some issues with figured out distance to curb and when wheel is straight. And his test is Wednesday, with rain.
But a large part of his driving in the last few weeks has been in rain and mild flooding.

Prayers for your surgery Mostly.

Taxes due, seems wife's work messed up withholding, another 2K in the pot :-(

Buppies - Talk to Dr. to see if they can provide you with someone who deals with this kind of situation. Asking for help is a good thing and I hope this all gets resolved.

Be well all.

Good Morning,

You pay for a kit, fill a small tube in the kit up with spit and mail the kit back. Very simple.

Thanks Don, did you get your kit off of Amazon ? Looks like $149, does that sound right ?

Turns out the SIL's place has Locust trees, not Hawthorn. The thorns look like this. Damn things are deadly!!

gstrom, WOW, those things look lethal ! Be careful, supposedly great wood to burn, but not if you get sliced to death !

Yep that is how it works. However most are positive displacement pumps so the GPM capacity is fixed by the displacement size of the pump. Most pump manufactures push high pressure at the expense of flow making it less useful to me

There is usually a special on the 23&Me web site around Mother’s Day.
The price sounds about right.

Don't you just love it when your significant other moves your tools but doesn't tell you?

Happens to mine frequently. Especially vulnerable: Combo screwdrivers.

Had a rose clipping I brought with us when we moved. It grew to a nice rose bush that the deer have not found. So we did have Easter flowers.

Beautiful roses Don. Are those what are called Knockout Roses? That is a real knock out picture!

Coffee taste very good today.

Ron, what is your preferred coffee? You may be one who likes coffee as much as I do. I drink a pot by myself throughout the day. Prefer coffee with chichory.

Guess my old computer doesn’t like rainy Mondays either, couldn’t get it to wake up. Just sat there spinning, no message what was happening. So did a hard reboot, then another. Finally it came up and said it’s updating, very slowly. Been at this over an hour so far.
I hate computers.
