good morning, 58 going to 74 cloudy

Chimney people showed up with 3 people and worked all day. Unfortunately discovered when going to bed a lot of concrete and brick debris in the fireplace and spread out on the floor in the bedroom. Cleaned it up as best I could but still going crunch crunch when walking on the floor.
They will get an earful from wife this morning when they return

oh dear, mess in bedroom, the Mrs will not be pleased
man the mops!

same kind of drizzle settling in here too
got the phone number of repairman Popgadget recommended, googled the guy
and it was all positive with one reviewer saying fully satisfied over 28 years.
So this guy has seen it all. And i have a generic cheap dishwasher hopefully he will have the
part for.

might surprise you but most reliable dishwasher is Bosch with Miele right up there, the Germans score on dishwashers.
But you don't put a two thousand dollar dishwasher in a rental house for sure.
They mentioned Whirlpool as making the first cut, thinking a cheap basic Whirlpool would fit the rental requirement.
darned dishwasher stinks of burned something. Going to check if it's on its own breaker on panel, want to flip it off.

I'm not sure about LG, they have had a lot of class action suits against them. Maybe better now.

The most reliable dishwasher brands are generally considered to be
Miele, Bosch, LG, and Whirlpool
, with Miele and Bosch often cited for their superior build quality, longevity, and consistent performance. While LG is a newer entrant, its in-house component manufacturing contributes to strong reliability, and Whirlpool is known for customer satisfaction and efficient performance.

Good morning folks, didn't get very cool overnight here in Houghton MI and was in the upper 50's this am and predicted high of 62 today. Do hope rain ends and things can dry. Cut 1/2 seaboard yesterday for snow implements and got one on which went well.

Good morning, the low is 49 and going to 72°F. Wind ESE 7 mph. Sunny!

Going to clean up the wood bark and crud out of the basement today, as well as a couple of little jobs. I have two compost piles, one for cat litter and bark and the other for food scraps and grass.

There is my day planned out.

Have a safe day all

Good morning TBN!!
50 this morning with another beautiful day on tap.

Spent most of the day cleaning up after working a few days on my scrpe blade.
I got the wiring harness for my little rail buggy so I started researching that a little more and sorting what needs to be done. That may be on todays agenda. Maybe not

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

I wonder when this will be standard on many more planes.
a plane that lands itself on the nearest appropriate runway
after flying there all by touching one red button.
Not to mention it has a parachute for the whole plane

Cirrus Aircraft’s Version of FSD Lands the Plane If the Pilot Taps Out

At the press of a big red button, Safe Return gets the plane safely on the ground, even if the pilot can’t.

I still won't fly anymore but nice to see such new safety advances coming in

Morning all, 60 going to 71 and cloudy, misty
Did some string trimming and pool cleaning (again).
One of the M18 batteries started to melt at the power connector, will see if still under warranty.

Based on weather, may split wood later.

Be well,

Daily work now, time to plan pool closing. This is after using the net to get most leaves out. After the last storm had about triple this amount in the 2 skimmers.

54.9 now low of 51.3 still dry logging going on first pay day.

Dishwashers over the years we have tried lots of brands last one was Bosch lasted about 8 years replace with cove top notch been going strong for several years the one so far. Expensive but you get what you pay for.

Grass could use mowed but not too bad so I’ll let it lie.

More fabulous work Phil, prayers mostly, Don hope bee stings heal quickly, Drew hope dishwasher fixed soon, LS more prayers for you folks, Ron hope you are healing nicely. Nice work ArlyA

Prayers for all our Coi

You'd do well to get a tower type basket, as they don't jam up the pump as bad, when they fill up with leaves.

I remember when I ran those old style baskets you have, one time the pump even sucked the basket down into the skimmer housing, I had to bust up the basket to get it back out. Other times it'd be sucked into the housing so hard that I had to shut off the pump just to withdraw the basket.
