WinterDeere, time zones do not bother me. I eat dinner early so my body digest most of the food before I go to bed. Between 7 and 8 each evening. That does not mean I go to sleep then. I get 5 to 6 hours of sleep each night. Am always awake by 4 in the morning. All my relatives complain about be awake at 4 every morning. Don’t forget Spain has Siestas. At least they did when I was there in the 80’s.

Good morning TBN folks. Its in the mid 50's here now with a predicted high of 70 today. Kinda nice, especially since we've not seen rain in 2 weeks. It didn't dry yesterday, but I still got the lawn mowed. Note the trailer parked in the sun (at times). Do love that ego mower. With a dry forecast, we will be returning to Camp Covington for the weekend.

Don’t forget Spain has Siestas. At least they did when I was there in the 80’s.
They still do, in southern Spain. I think it's always been less popular in the northern cities, where I was traveling this time, but even there some still do it.

I will say, catching a 20 - 30 minute nap midday allows me to function just fine on 4 - 5 hours of sleep per night. Back when I had no time for a nap, it seemed I needed more than an extra 20 - 30 minutes overnight.

In other words, a short siesta miidday might actually cut down on the total daily sleep requirement, by spreading it out a bit. I'm not pretending that's healthier, it's probably not, but it does work!

Coffee is done brewing. 54° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 72° with mix of sun and clouds. Did some yard cleanup and weeded flower gardens for the last time this year. Today will cut back field. Then get flail mower out and ready to cut side field in the next few days.

Good Morning
52° with a high under 70 and not a cloud in the sky.

Yesterday was a tinker in the shop day.
The project dejour was a portable hoist to swap out a geothermal heat pump in a basement with only a curved stairwell for access.
I used an HF ATV winch on a home made trolley to fit an aluminum I beam that will be supported by temporary posts that will let it slide through the doorway, and down the stairwell.
Today is the planned test date.

Made CAD drawings and used the plasma cutter to make all the pieces, even the bolt holes.

MIG welded it together. I regret putting off getting a MIG welder for so long. I didn’t think I needed one with stick and TIG capability. Boy was I wrong. The 285 amp machine works on everything from thin to thick. I haven’t stick welded anything in a year.

Dropping the Prius off for front tires and an alignment this morning as I begin another circle around the sun.

61 outside right now, heading to mid 70's.

Back in town, grass looks like it needs another cut, burn pile needs lit, pool needs closing, leaves need raking, walnuts need collecting and a honey do list of other things await. Good to be home.

Real jobs are going to get more busy now. Not enough time in the day to deal with it all. Good thing there are still some people who understand procedures and law.

Hope all have a great day, hope for brighter days ahead. Be safe.

Good morning, the low is 41 and going up to 63°F. Wind ENE 9 mph. Sunny!

Today will be a good day to put up the tarp I bought to replace the tarp Amazon couldn't be bothered sending me after I paid for it.

ron, I'll bet that squirrel stays warm with a tail that long.

Happy Birthday, Pop.

Time for breakfast, have a safe day all
