Good morning!!!!

[freedomlives]

And Happy St. Patrick's Day! Not such a big thing for Slovaks, though at least for the Roman Catholic's its on the calendar. I'm not sure I want to tell my kids about the pinching those not wearing green tradition. They harass each other enough as is!

Thanks! Off to Home Depot!

that's what I thought...the controller has a float setting, like a battery charger so it should reduce to almost nothing. Why mine isn't is a ?
Will read the manual (small and poor...) to see if I missed anything.

Good luck on the weight reduction David. If you've lost it before you know you want to lose it again. I lost 50 pounds about six years ago, went down six inches on my pants. You wind up with a lot of clothes...and hope you never go back to the bigger sizes. I gave mine away...
I measure my progress in belt loops. And I'm now looking for a belt leather punch to add a new hole. :thumbsup:
And now we are all a lot smarter about what to eat. How we apply that intelligence, well....

33 going up to mid 60's today with storms coming in this afternoon and tonight.
Plumbers coming early with ditchwitch to dig water line to new garden, thankfully only about a hundred feet. That includes installing an inline 1.5hp sprinkler pump in the crawl space of the house. My first job this morning, which I forgot to do, is to install the big pump on a wood board, and then that I suppose on some concrete blocks. Need to run more than one sprinkler at a time and garden hose pressure was not cutting it at all.

Drew, I wonder if the constant load for the fence is a factor? Battery maybe too small?

My son is turning 8 years old tomorrow! He's a St. Patty's day baby....and he can explain St. Patrick's use of the shamrock leaves to represent the Trinity. We are supposed to fish. Hopefully catch some crappie. Why would someone name one of the best, if not the best tasting fresh water fish crappy??? Anyway, my son makes straight A's, all high 97 and above, and he has 2 teachers that share him. They both love him and shower him with "bonus" points which he can turn in for trinkets. They say he likes to help other kids in his class with their math and reading. We are blessed and I thank the Lord for him as well as all my kids.

Happy birthday to him! Many blessed years!

struggled and struggled to get the LP finish mower on the Kubota by myself, and thank you Kubota
for extendable lower arms (that would be a handy personal option though most women think men
are octopuses any way... which made it easier, though I had to hunt down spacers from cat 2 to 1, and
finally got the pto collar to slide on. They should call that collar the Slimonizer.
Thoroughly slimed in grease by then I go to wash my hands and the water is turned off. :irked:
Up to check on the plumbers and they had that whole job done in three hours. Including a trip to Lowes.
I took some pics of the piping for posterity, and this time we put a bigger underground box to protect the valving.

ok, multimeter will be grabbed on next trip out.
If that's a slow blink, it means the battery is on float and the controller/panel are happy.
In other words all good.
But I'll take readings with and without a load if I can.
And preferably without shocking my self again.
I have a great deal of respect for 100 watts now.
No question the fence controller snapped a bit louder while connected to the panel.

David/Sodamo, I was thinking marine deep cycle or AGM.
Next I could put an inverter out there and have some night lights.
Motion activated lights would be good for scaring hungry critters.
Or maybe just light their pathway in...

need to sit for a minute after plumbers left. Been hoeing cabbage for awhile, on my feet too much.
While I was out there I was thinking that two or three hundred years ago folks were doing exactly what
I was doing. Hoeing.
Monday I check out wheat straw at the local store. Not sure how high up on the weed factor that is,
but it seems to be all that's available. No coastal hay locally.
TSC has stuff basically for pet cages.

Oh for that mushroom soil, I could use a semi load

The solar panel will have a higher voltage output than the battery. Likewise in a car-- battery outputs 12.6V, alternator around 14V.

Don, thank for the update.
Was hoping for comments regarding the 吐ood as well.

Here you go David and LSmt125owner-
Here is the meal program, the foods, and ingredients.

In the clinical study the results of the FMD (Fasting Mimicking Diet - ProLon) diet related to cardiovascular disease include the following:
1. Reduced abdominal fat and circumference
2. Major drop in the inflammatory risk factor, C-reactive protein
3. Reduction in total and LDL cholesterol
4. Lowering of triglycerides
5. Reduction is systolic and diastolic blood pressure
6. Reduction in fasting glucose
(taken from the book -"The Longevity Diet" by Valter Longo, PHD)

I surprised myself today; got all of my yard mowed, edged, and trimmed AND ALL of the one next door. If anyone had told me I could do both in one day, I wouldn't have believed it. I bagged the clippings from my yard, then did the side discharge on the yard next door. In the past, the EGO side discharge chute was worthless because it would just clog up. But with this new high lift blade, it blows the clippings right on out, so I never had to stop to clear it at all.

Thanks Don, exactly what info I was looking for! How is the taste of their soups / products.... Usually those proprietary foods aren't to good. The meal plan actually doesn't sound too bad at all! You reported on the weight loss and "diameter" (hehe), have you been able to check your B/P? Also how did you feel overall during the process?

If your still looking for more work, I have plenty you could do out here
