69°F and .03 inches rain

My short ribs were excellent and the guys won.

Today I’m off to Hilo Medical Center for a Pulmonary Function Test, PFT, courtesy of the VA.

Doubtful I’ll get into much after that by the time I get home.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

I am sorry, we actually I'm not if they are that visually impaired they should not be driving on public roads.
The persons might be far sighted, and the normal gauges might be hard to focus on. That's not going to majorly affect the driving, except perhaps for exact speed.

I've only driven a HUD a few times at night, and I did find it easier, thought I'm not far sighted.

All the best, Peter

75.3F with a mix of sun and clouds @ 13:00. Quite breezy. Calling for a high of around 79F. Low this morning was 51F.

50% chance of showers tomorrow.

Got a couple packages of okra sealed up and put in the freezer last night.

Deer netting seems to be holding as of this morning.

Still no success in locating tamper, truly a mystery.

Agenda for today (in no particular order):

Get 12’ round posts put on saw horses and start finishing up coating those with asphalt.

Move 2 x 12’s over to the radial arm saw and get those cut to length.

Glue and clamp 2 x 12’s where needed.

Move more 4 x 4 posts onto hay wagon.

Finish pressure washing asphalt.

Maybe do some watering in the garden.

Check to see what needs harvested.

Beyond that see what else comes up.

Hope everyone is having a decent TGIF …

You can still get a drivers license with an impairment. Field of vision, peripheral vision, some depth perceptions, colors, brightness, etc. etc.

good morning all
one weather station says .45, the other says .58, second one likely most accurate.
well that's enough rain to make the grass green again

have a busy day planned today. Meeting two childhood friends for lunch, getting some Jersey Mikes subs to take
to one friend in wheelchair. Then home later today to see if I can get my unhappy generator to start. Second time in four years Westinghouse
gen has failed, not impressive at all. Honda doesn't make big gens and we all know they cost at least twice as much. That leaves only a few name
brands to choose from. Though I see Northern Tools makes a gen with a Honda twin engine.

problem with these gens is no one to fix them. Nearest authorized Westinghouse gen dealer is a body shop in Delran NJ, a body shop?
not encouraging.
unfortunately my favorite McGyver is booked for next few days, poor guy has to work...
at least no power outages likely any time soon. I ordered a new on/off switch overnight so will try that today, after
doublechecking oil low pressure switch. Just changed oil, not low oil.
thankfully am on a generator thread here and smarter minds than mine are on the case.

going to be a warm day, 67 out now going up to high 80's.
Drew, have heard good reports on the HF Predator generator.

Another cement hauler truck rollover up the road last night. One wrecked just down the road the other day.

Not sure I’d like HUD, I hate stuff reflecting in the windshield.
We had emergency projections (red dots) across the bottom of the window accompanied by a loud beep beep beep to get your attention, in our Buick that we traded in a couple years ago.

It was distracting when it triggered and the beep would scare the ever living crap put of you on top of it. I hated it.

Apparently with the upgraded version, it added guide lines for the lane assist and some other mumbo jumbo as well.

Thats why they make bifocals and trifocals. And most vehicles now have a digital speedometer that shows your speed in great big numbers in the middle of the guage cluster as well.

People need to wear their glasses or get their eyes checked.

My boss is that way. He wears reader's for computer work, then complains when he's not wearing his glasses that he can't flipping read something (including street signs)

I'm in the passenger seat telling him to put his dang glasses on or pull over and I'll drive

Drew, have heard good reports on the HF Predator generator.
thanks
that's one on the list
finally got home this afternoon, and a crummy afternoon it was after a nice lunch with friends.
Took me forever driving across Montgomery Co to get to MRI place, thankfully the report was done.
it wasn't good. Terrible spinal issues but I deal with that every day. Fluid collection in one area that could be a tumor.
more visits
then home to try to fix generator, major fail, could not trace the low oil circuit wire to anything that came apart, but thankfully
neighbor across the street who I keep well supplied with tomatoes has a son in the Generac install business and he said he'd come over and take my gen back and fix it. Marvelous. I'm sure it's something simple.

David, hope the tests come back fine.
better than mine for sure
may your ejection fractions be mighty
