4.3" rain, yea!

Those knee pain block injections wore out after 36 hours so I'm having to start the prescription meds.
A suicidal rabbit took out the grill on the Prius and died behind it so I had to wobble out and do a rabbit pull. ARRG.

4.3" rain, yea!

Well the weather is turning bad, so we might as well eat.
My wife just baked this peach pie.:licking:

3/4 cup shortening (Crisco) to make the double crust.

Oy Vey! But we cut it into 8 slices and have one slice each night each for 4 nights.
That's 4.5 grams saturated fat
0 trans fat
9 grams Polyunsaturated fat
3.7 grams Monounsaturated fat
0 cholesterol
0 sodium
3 % of daily vitamin A requirements
22 % of Vitamin E requirement

We eat it for the vitamin E

And then there's the Ice Cream on top:licking:

At least you got me thinking about it... TxDon :thumbsup:

Time for the treadmill

In baking we substitue applesauce for the oil/shortening - that way less time is needed on the treadmill. :thumbsup:

I ran a double shot of Seafoam in the tank with fresh gas + Carb cleaner straight into the throat. It is running, but not as it should (rough and under power). Yes it is air cooled.

From searching Onan and RV forums, this is the most common problem with the Onan, one thing for sure, they have to n
be cycled under load for an hr or two a month to prevent varnish buildup with the ethanol fuels we have now. The carbs are EPA certified, so no rebuildable parts, meant as a total replacement, dumb, but a California rule i understand.

Here is a short thread with almost the same symptoms I have, and no doubt gas was allowed to age in the tank for who knows how long!

Dennis,
Try the Onan 4C they are talking about on the link you provided. Also...........have you replaced your fuel filters?

I hurt my knee (meniscus) last October playing basketball at church. Gradually got better
And to the point where everyday life was no problem. Even played basketball again last week.
So, what happens? After going up and down ladder to get in attic about a bajillion times it cratered
On me and down I came splitting head open by hitting corner of wall. Now I'm sitting in recliner
With pillow under knee catching up on TBN. Can barely walk and u guys switched to fall winter
Thread. I just caught up.
Wife wanted to rearrange room and paint. TV was mounted on different wall so I had to go
In attic to hook that coaxial to splitter. Could never get satellite reception therefor the bajillion trips
Up and down. To add insult to injury, my son came home for the weekend yesterday morn and decided to
Have a look in attic. I was on my way up to be up there with him when knee gave out
And fell. And we got reception on his one trip to the attic so turns out didn't need to go
Up there.

Morning Mist.
I shot this from the porch this morning at 07:30
Now it is totally overcast, cool, and getting ready to rain.
Ron

Ron,
Awesome shot. Reminds me of the mornings I would meet the mail plane and the sun would be breaking over the pine trees near IAH.

TxDon,
I love your "pasture" shots. Do you get many bluebonnets. I know Jim planted his!
hugs, Brandi

And besides that, it tastes good, too.:laughing:

I woke up mid morning to another thunderbumper and heavy rain. Rolled over and went back to sleep. It was short lived and only dumped 1.2 inches in the gage, but the island pond came up about 1.5 feet.

Last three weekends have had heavy rain. I have not been out dancing and was wondering when Y'all dance again..............can you do it in the middle of the week? At least turn Y'alls butts towards far west Texas?
hugs, Brandi

I've heard the same thing. Flies have hatched out here. Going to be real cold, and I was suppose to start getting things in order but rain/mud trapped me inside plus football. Got just over an inch.

Cool thanks... I usually can treat once and the fly/mineral tubes will take care of them but I have treated them 3 times past couple months,actually last time was 9/16 and they need it again already.

No, no. I TRANSPLANTED my bluebonnets. They were whole plants with seed pods. I did spread them around, but I didn't just plant seeds. The tract where I scraped off the seeds, I dragged over and spread plants with seeds around. The new owner of that property built a house with a deck so he and his wife can overlook that field of bluebonnets. If anything, where I took the bluebonnet plants, there were more there these last two years than when I took the transplants. That acre of bluebonnets is now covering 2-1/2 acres and still growing. . . and Lou, that land never was good for hay. No hay was harmed in the production of these wildflowers.:laughing:
