Good morning!!!!

[txdon]

Good morning! Unusual morning, woke up to thunder and rain .9" and still lightly raining, simply wonderful. 71˚F with high only in the upper 80s.

My final mowing plans will have to be delayed to this evening.

The room is painted. BUT it still looked blue. My wife claimed it is haunted. Then I remembered I had put Costco lights in the room and they were adjustable, from a yellowish to a bright white. I had put them on the highest setting which is like hospital bright white. So I took them out and put them on the lowest setting and the room turned to a "natural linen" color, kind of an ivory off white. Just need to put all the faceplates back on and get a rug hang a few pictures and then call the room complete.

Still raining lightly we are up to .9" for this morning, Yesterday evening we had a surprise .2" shower, all is good! I think the best part of the pool is seeing the rain hit the water.

I tried that last winter and the wind tore up the tarp pretty badly. The BH is such an odd shape it was hard for me to adequately secure it. How do you do yours, Bill?

I've got a tarp that is longer than it is wide and anchor one end at the control panel and wrap it around the boom and stick in one wrap and anchor that on the other side of the control panel. Then run bungie cords (the good ones) around the boom and stick hooking them to themselves. The whole idea being to keep the snow and sun off the hoses. Junior usually does the wrapping up and all I have to do is admire the job he does. This year I will take pictures.

It feels like it is going to rain. rainfall warning is in effect.
The two tom cats went out, they might get a wet surprise. They both absolutely hate rain and at the first clap of thunder all four cats would be in the basement.
The one we just buried wasn't bothered by rain or thunder, she couldn't care less. When she was younger and out in the rain she'd come in looking like a drowned rat. A nice soft cloth we have and dry her off, which by the way she loved and she was good for the day.

Morning all, 67 going to 89 and sunny.
Got discount table cleaned, prepped and painted yesterday. Then went and did some watering and put water in pool as it's down several inches.

Got everything ready for oil changes, will see if it's too hot tonight though.
Could not start generator last night, might need to clean/fix/replace carb as it started with starter fluid. More stuff to fix.

Drew - safe travels on your big adventure. Wonderful you will get to see many TBN people and get to the coast. It will be a wonderful time, enjoy it and take plenty of pictures for us all sitting around back home.

Be well,

thanks Ken and others.
I could say it's a truism that today has arrived...

sweated through one shirt packing rv, sitting trying to dry out in replacement shirt.
took fridge extras over to lady across the street whose SO picks up my mail every three days and she
is old eagle eye. They also got the last of my tomatoes, which looked nice. Definitely kept two for myself.

Don, fascinating the color wavelength of light so easily visible on white walls, makes sense. My office light has three settings, I leave it on bright.
great that with a flip of a switch you solved your problem.
Have to remember when I get up to take office aircleaner with me.
right now it's vying for the thing I forget...

I have plenty of time, will make several walk throughs and another one outside before I go.
I found my little plug in inverter and that will power my compact fridge while traveling. Have to remember to
plug that in. The light was blinking on fridge under automatic setting which usually means it's unhappy with propane supply, often
air in line. Which you flush out by turning on a burner on the stove and letting it run a bit.
light was still flashing when I was done. Oh well. Usually gets its brain back after a while.

adios

will check in when I get to Twin Grove rv campground in Pine Grove PA

Bon Voyage Captain Drew.

I had to look up the campground location, just north of Fort Indiantown Gap, where my dad was discharged from the Army in 1947.

84F and mostly cloudy @ 11:45, heading up to around 94F for the day's high. DP 68F, HU 59%, "feels like" temp currently 91F.

Groundhog carcass moved up to the field first thing yesterday.

Checked live trap, still set and un-tripped ... but bait now gone ...

Made some room in the shop and turned AC on.

Removed bucket and box blade from the Kubota and got it moved inside the shop.

Then spent most of the afternoon going through the refrigerator and cleaning it out.

Removed everything inside except for the items on the door shelves and the stuff in the meat drawer and got it all wiped down and cleaned up. Then put everything back in, in a more organized manner.

Hauled two bags of garbage and the recyclables up to the cans at the road, set out trash can as recyclables don't get picked up until next week.

Hauled a bucket of compostables up to the compost pile and dumped those.

Watered all the inside plants and most of the ones out front as well.

On agenda for today:

Get the right lift cylinder pulled, disassembled, and cleaned up. Start replacing the seals.

Oil pre filter and get it and the replacement air filter installed on the Cub.

Re-bait live trap.

Water indeterminate tomatoes.

Finish clean up of refrigerator.

Maybe prep and freeze some summer squash.

Otherwise see what else comes up.

Hope everyone is having a decent Tuesday ...

Last night storms came right past us, both sides according to radar. No rain here. No potatoes dug yet today, too hot.

Costco didn’t have any Kirkland water yesterday.
