Good morning!!!!

not good news for RNG and other California homeowners

State Farm disclosed it is seeking a 30 percent rate hike for homeowners, a 36 percent increase for condo owners,
and a 52 percent increase for renters as a result - a move that would only worsen the state’s already present housing crisis.

those are hefty increases when you consider the existing rates were very high to begin with

mission accomplished

good afternoon, 83 which is the high for today. Nice day with full sun.

Picked up the garbage can and replaced it with the recycleable can

Picked up groceries. Called in refill for one med for pickup tomorrow

Mowed for a few hours. Had not mowed for a few weeks since no rain with little growth.

Neighbor lady called wife and wanted permission to take down our fence. This is he neighbor that was shooting into our property and doing the bump stock shooting at midnight. And dumped load of rocks over the fence for me to clean up.
Wife said to call back and talk to me but she did not call back. Sounds suspicious so went up to see what is going on.
He had excavated several feet down along our fence and had built a new driveway and pad for pole building. Looks like very little set back so drainage could be a problem around it unless he used our land to slope away from the building. Maybe another case of no permits. He should have located it further back into his property but it would have required more fill. Mowed along the fence line and will check it often to see what he is up to. The pole building supplies are delivered and the ground was marked with red stripes for the building.
What happens to come and talk about it instead of as the neighbor lady said she had searched for wife's cell phone for a long time???

sounds like all the more reason to keep a fence there, with past behavior. I know I have 30 ft restriction on the road side of my lot, but only 10 ft to the neighbor. Seems backwards to me...

Got yard and field all mowed. Wasn't real bad, but the planton tops and another weed makes it look bad if you don't mow. 3 weeks since last mowing.

non metallic cable/Romex run though conduit
better make that conduit oversized if you can only fill it
up to 51 percent. And never outdoors.

this will have Popgadget out measuring his conduit fill percentage...

I always calculate it, but also only ever use THHN in conduit.

Seems like he is just trying to push your buttons because HE knows HE can probably get away with it.
/edit - for a while.
If he can remove your fence, then he can start using your land.

My day took unprogrammed turn, but a good one.

Still having coffee when I got a text from my dealer tech saying to call him as he was coming Hiloside this morning.

So my priority became my tractor would fail while he was here. Got it to fail and repeated fail all morning.

Shawn arrived and tractor failed within minutes
He spent next 2 hours doing his thing with his test equipment, with fresh version of all software.
Took lots of pics of the results. Performed some computer generated fixes. Took the tractor down to an area of high, thick grass to test. Fail. Tractor limped back up to shed area and more tests.
Not fixed, but Shawn feels he is armed with enough data to get LS help and will keep me informed.
He is also labelling as Warranty work, so repairs may on site vs trailering back to shop. Of course that would depend on level of repair.

Hopeful

Good Evening David,

David, that sounds like some very positive work on your tech coming out !
Hopefully this data will resolve the issues !

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 2.2C and it's presently 10.9C, overcast & calm.

It's 'into town' day for a script at the chemist, some mail and groceries. I also need to stop at the tip as the 'wine bottle faeries' have filled that recycle box up again.

That's about it, take care all.

I truly hope they can fix it. Makes me wonder if documenting the complaint, and the level of service, online here, has made the mothership tell them to "Jump through Hoops"???

No one should go through this much trouble...to get their tractor running right.
