Need to get dryer for the airline. PG what are you using?

I have two basic water trap filters in series followed by a desiccant drier, and a motor guard filter after that. The key is to have them significantly downstream of the compressor so the air has cooled by the time it gets to them. I had a refrigerated dryer in my old shop, but I keep this one air conditioned , so the humidity is low to start. As a result I have not had to change the desiccant in the final dryer in years.
In the old shop with the compressor in a more humid environment, the water left the dryer in a continuous stream.
Harbor Freight has a reasonably priced refrigerated dryer if you need one.

Good Morning,
Vt, 28 to start going to 31 with light snow. The wind is back, so getting those last few deck boards down will be a bit tough. I just really want to wrap it up if I can.

Paul, good luck with your FAA physical, and BTW, very interesting support structure on last 3D print job.

Mostly, prayers

Drew, I will send the US Treasury my check today, but with no notes attached The good news is that the state will send me a bigger check

No need to run out side this morning when the snow is still coming down

Hope all have a good day

read several articles on benefits of eating/drinking pineapples
for reducing inflammation of arthritis. Pineapples I know make an effective meat tenderizer, so
clearly there are some good enzymes going on in there, plus vitamins.
only downside is sugar, lot of it, will mean cutting out other things.
I eat plenty of fiber so I don't need the whole pineapple, hoping there isn't a huge medicinal difference between fresh
juice and canned juice.

I ordered a case of 48 small cans of pineapple juice and will go on a daily regimen to see if
I can feel any difference.
let's see, six ounces of pineapple juice mixed with six ounces of vodka.
I was just taking my vitamins occifer....

cranberry juice also good with much less sugar but different benefit

only memory of juice as a kid in the 50's was getting orange juice frozen, and
someone had to turn that frozen tube into a pitcher of OJ, and quickly.
this was before microwaves, i think we put them in hot water?
I bet OJ was a luxury in the beginning.

That was the only kind of orange juice we ever had growing up, and it was definitely a "treat". Milk and water was free.
I actually still buy some at times, there are two cans in my freezer as we speak. It defrosts rapidly even in cold water, spoon it out of the can, stir and enjoy.

8:30ish in the AM.
Sitting at a very January like 26F and topping out at 32F.
Strong wind predicted most of the day.
Are we in a time warp going back several months or is this just Global Warming?
Nice fire going and I haven't had a hot chocolate for a while.
It's going to be a relaxing couple hours in the Lazyboy watching some logs burn down.
So much for some people I know that were all getting the garden going.
We don't plant here until the long weekend in May (varies 21-24th).
A few nice days early and the threats of GW don't change that.
Great day everyone, where ever you reside.
Stop and pet a dog if you can.

Good morning TBN!45 going to the low 60s. Rain finally stopped. We got 3.5" inches from midnight to midnight yesterday. We needed it but not all in one day. Going to be a cool week.
Remembered my water pump was still by the river when I got up yesterday so that was the start. Went and collected it in the rain and got it in to the shop. Cleaned it up and ran it for a moment to make sure it would start. It was about 1/3 submerged in the mud but it did fine. Too bad because the wife wanted to run and get one right away. For those with interest. HF has a pretty good deal on one for ITC members.
Spent the rest of the day piddling around the shop.
Not too sure what I will get in to today but I suspect some time will be in the tank again. It will be chilly PWing in the 50s though. We will see.

Time for a second cup.
Everyone have a great and safe day!!

Oh on another story, a friend who graduated with me got GBS. She went to ER and was sent home with flu meds. Her daughter is an RN and told her to go back to ER and get tested for other stuff. She got tested and a specialty doctor was at another hospital and took her on. She had a therapy where they replace her plasma, and filter her blood somehow that kicks out the bad antibodies. She was originally diagnosed with Flu A. But something wasn't right and she went back in. In 4 days of back and forth, she couldn't walk as she entered the hospital. Tests, spinal tap, CT, 3 mri's in 4 hours and she was diagnosed with GBS. The plasma treatment was done daily for 10 days, and with help she was able to walk out of the hospital soon thereafter. The docs believe it was because of fast diagnosis and early intervention with the plasmapherisis. She believes the Lord had a hand in it, getting the diagnosis, having a world class neurology doc, and the special plasma treatment.

Do I know about that. The transfusion is 1 of 2 methods. I did the IV as it’s less intrusive and has same success rate. Only it took me several months to be able to walk again. The key is getting it identified and treatment started ASAP. I was a week between realizing something was wrong, and starting treatment. They wanted to just treat my pneumonia, and I kept pressing them. I’ve only personally met 1 other person who had it, pretty rare.

Morning all, 38 going to 46, sunny, very windy.
Heard some more thumps, will go look when the wind dies down a bit.
Eye Dr. visit went about as expected, deal with the issues or undergo a risky surgery.
So we will see if I can deal with it.

Drew - I have the big jack and four jack-stands here. Should make the job pretty easy.

Sorry about your brother Mostly, seems like he needs a lot of prayers, sent.

Be well,

Looking towards the Brooklyn Promenade. My brother lived over there for a few years. We could go up on the roof of his apartment building and get a direct view of the 4July fireworks.

Ken, thanks, have 8am Thursday appt at Heaths in Lambertville to do it.

finished cleaning house, vacuuming, killing time while it slowly warms up outside.
now headed out to spread two bags of mulch. Will likely get cold doing it and come back in.
I need to plant some more radishes, trying to have three plantings, two weeks apart.

67°F and .06 inches rain.

Successful day yesterday. Fans replaced in my inverter without too much challenge. Will be nice not to get the error message when running.

Dropped the Canadians at Hilo airport. Not sure when they can return. Besides the house challenge, Theresa is awaiting knee replacement. Apparently under their medical plan that is a long wait and see situation. She’s hoping maybe she can fill a cancellation.

Happy was a smallish but fun group at the golf course restaurant.

No big plans for the day

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day
