Good morning!!!!

Nice day high was 62

Busy few days. Went down on one of the trips to the old ice cream shop for Mint Chip Ice cream. Always what wife likes

Installed the Bosch dishwasher. Had to install an electrical connection box to hook it up and a new water line and drain line. My body was protesting getting under the cabinet and hole sawing etc

The delivery people shorted me and I did not get the parts that should have been with it. Maybe they left it in the box when they took it off. HD will get it to me from Bosch but will be Thursday next week. But installed it anyway with what I had on hand. Only thing I really need now is the toe plate

Planted 8 Forsythia 5 gallon plants

Also fixed the Yard hydrant by silver brazing the stem back on the rod. Not easy to hold it in position to get it brazed. It does not work to tack it because it stays fluid and falls off. And did not have 3 hands. So had to cut treads to hold it

long enough to braze it all-around. Install it and it works. Saved a lot work from digging it up. Picture shows the brass steam brazed to the stieel rod

Nice job. It’s not easy brazing brass to steel, and in position like that without a fixture makes it even tougher.

Good Evening.
70° and sunny here in Wichita.
Yesterday winds were about 50, made it interesting opening doors. The picture doesn’t do it justice.

I’ve spent most of the last 4 days either in a class room or locked in a moving box, so the outside weather is pretty irrelevant.

Nothing else to report other that I’ve go some trees to clean up when I get home. My wife says she’s not sure whether it was the wind or the earthquake, but there is work for me regardless. I’ll see on Tuesday what’s in store for me. She says it’s definitely too wet to get the tractor and grapple involved, so depending on how precarious things are, it might just wait a while longer.

Prayers son continues to improve BEF

Thanks, I'm concerned about lack of knee movement, but I think it's the pain from the large scabs and such, that he just doesn't want to move it. He sees DR tomorrow.

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 9.5C and it's presently 20.2C, sparsely clouded & calm. There was 2mm in the gauge at 0900.

I might pop into town today; pick up some mail, top up the ute with petrol and drop that clothing donation off at the Op-Shop. Perhaps a wee trip over to Pyengana for some cheese as a raffle prize for a Saturday meeting in Ross.

That's about it, take care all.

For sure
Thanks popgadget
Smallest tip I had was Victor number 1 and turned down as much I could without backfiring
Could really use smaller tips for work like this

What rod did you use?

The BH is on and the sunken part of the driveway is fixed for now.
Attacked one of the 8 tree stumps I want to clear out on the north west side of the house. Right now the biggest (3' dia) of the stumps has a 3' deep moat around it. It has a smaller (2' dia) tree stump growing out of the side of it. Cut into the bigger stump vertically and put some Epsom salts in the cuts. Then took a leak on it just to start the rot process. Will probably go out tomorrow morning and put more Epsom salt on it. Probably wont do anything to it until after I get back from down south.
Bag is packed. The cat didn't see me do it, so I should be good to go on Tuesday.

Good morning, the low is 42 and going to a high of 55°F. Wind E 8 mph. Mix of sun and cloud.
I guess the 80% eclipse will just look like the clouds are hiding the sun. I don't look directly at the sun at any time. I do not drive into either the rising nor the setting sun either.

The garage and towing service I use has a number of roll off trucks. One of them when he comes back from North Bay will be picking up my new tank. Hopefully it is here today, but I am not holding my breathe. I can't do anything with it until after I come back from the meetings.

Energy conservation for the rest of today.

Have a safe day all
