Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

amazing pictures

Ken, I tried to figure a way but Williams is going in the wrong direction for me, I'm headed to route 40 right at Winslow.
looks like that trip through the mountains should be very interesting.

I stop for most scenic overlooks if there is room to park.
This is why I have a 200mm lens on my good camera. And when you use it, you wish it was a 600...
like finding a burro on a far canyon wall

I got the correct cable in for my good camera so now I can dump pics easily from the camera to my laptop. Or here.

this part of the world it would take months to see everything. Particularly the Utah parks.
I have friends who have hiked and taken pics of most of them.

Ron that was a great view from your rv, nice pic.

Four states meet here in freedom under god

for $10 you can stand in 4 states at once. We saw it from 100 yds away when we turned around.

67°F and .4 inches rain.

Friends leave for home to Wisconsin this morning, been a great visit. Jim and I revisited my LS, convinced ECU is bad. Not to get LS to replace.

Apparently brought back more than allergies, cough is persistent

Still getting caught up here on GM. You guys sure have been busy

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Sedona AZ is pretty area. some John wayne movies filmed around there. But it is New Age, Yuppies that live there now. Still pretty. My best friend in HS was married there, when they eloped to AZ my Sr yr of college.

Crickets in the house are supposed to bring good luck.

Good Afternoon Dennis,

Any problems here? Other than no oil and gears stripped

That does not look good ! New gears for sure ! I’m guessing the bearing is loaded with metal chips also !

Best of luck on the rebuild !

ordered new gear box on amazon, supposed to be king kutter brand. almost half the price of TSC and rural King, so maybe a clone? But, it gets shipped from Ohio, where KK is located... They probably source Chinese gear boxes anyways.
checked my game cams outside the house. one has almost 6K pictures in last 3 months, most are a blade of grass blowing....., other has 1500 pics. lot of me working..

92F and "Fair" @ 13:00, DP 71F ... feels like 106F ...

Worked on getting that one soaker hose laid out on the row of indeterminate tomatoes on the vertical trellis yesterday.

Got the hose laid out and pinned down, weeds pulled from the un-mulched areas, then got the uncovered areas mulched. Those tomatoes are looking pretty good ... largest ones are over 40" tall and blossoms are appearing.

Also did some pruning on them, wove them through the remesh panels and used the garden velcro to secure them. Still more pruning to do.

Skies clouded up and we got a few sprinkles but no appreciable rainfall. As I predicted, it went north and south of us. It did cool the temps off about 10 degrees though ...

Once that was done I dug out the 2-program/2-outlet Melnor Aqua Timer and set up the program to water for 20 minutes and hooked it up to the soaker hose. That ran ok with no issues so I set it up for another 30 minutes and ran it again. This time it ran and by the end the water pressure had dropped to around 20 psi and wasn't pumping up meaning the well pump was sucking air so we shut it off.

So it looks like maybe a timing interval of around 30 minutes of watering followed by some longer interval to give the well bore time to refill should work.

Probably going to set the timer up so it runs late at night ... that way there will be no other water demand.

Woman wants to pick up more soaker hoses ... She was out there this morning watering other stuff. Apparently that is getting old ...

Still need to sell her on the idea of 4-program/4-outlet programable controller ...

Took a cattle panel up to a neighbor/friend up the street with the Kubota who was wanting one for an arched trellis.

Dispatched The Woman down to Harbor Freight for more AA batteries while I was doing that. Got batteries replaced in the one game can and got it programmed with custom settings. Need to get that put up later.

After I got back from doing that I got the 8 Long Cayenne Slim peppers planted in the last 8 holes in the 2 rows I planted the cabbage and broccoli in.

Now need to make more holes in the weedblock fabric ... hopefully it will cloud up or rain later so I can get that done today.

Depending on how bad it is out there I may try ferrying down some more screened compost for the eastern edge of the garden area and get that task completed.

Most likely though I'll be heading up to the shop and firing up the AC and working in there for a bit ... at least until it cools off a little.

Hope everyone is having a decent Tuesday ...

It's more expensive and crowded but still worthwhile.
Snoopy rock.
4WD jeep tour to Broken arrow (Pink Jeeps).
Lots of crystals and weird stuff too.

And McDonalds with a different color sign, only place I know of that got them to change.

It has changed a bit since I was there. I was working the shale oil gas on the reservation doing the instrumentation at the wet gas collection sites. That was back in the 80's.
No charge at the time and just a parking lot and a trail to the actual corner marker.
