Good morning!!!!

The 2 rents mentioned were $500/mon for a 2 bedroom, $600 for a 3/2. One had almost bought, but unable to get a mortgage.
No mention is GA or section 8, but probably not. Many are affordable due to absentee ownership, some due to being just basic, even unpermitted structures. Very mixed bag in Puna District. Leilani Estates has reputation of being one of the nicer Puna subdivisions with good number of retired owners. Not a lot of jobs in that area. Lot of alternative lifestyles in Puna.

David, is that where Elton John lives?

Ed, sorry to hear of the HVAC issues but might know of a lathe, cheap. I’ll pm you.

Big thunderstorm last night but thankfully only dropped about .14” of rain.
Got to grocery shop today for all the crowd coming this weekend. Celebrating son’s 42 birthday. I can’t be that old!

Buppies, update on the leg and keep healing.
Prayers for the lot of us.

Can't sleep so I just got up. HVAC guy was here yesterday and said hat I have a hole in the coil of the 15 year old air handler in the attic. Need a new unit. Guy put 6 lb of R22 in the unit

6 pounds is a lot. I had to replace the coil in my attic last year after only 7 years. It had rusted away.

66 going to 85, and chance of more t-storms...yesterday evening's storm was quite the classic...dark, almost black western sky with crazy clouds and winds bending the trees over...changing to a downpour and much localized lightning...used WeatherBug Spark to watch the lightning hits while out on the porch...until one hit a couple of hundred yards away and I went inside. Got another 0.74 inches...ground soggy again...makes my to-do list one without any heavy equipment today.

Ed, sorry about your dreams going into your HVAC repair...hopefully Randy can help. (Randy, I need a '67 Mustang )

I've never owned an air compressor...looked at one at Harbor Freight yesterday...the usual sale price plus $30 coupon...couldn't quite pull the trigger on buying it...seems like whenever I spend over $100 I feel the need to research. l'll check the other forums, but if anybody has a recommendation of oil vs. oil-less, or brand they like or should avoid, or minimum flow to power a medium impact wrench, I'd love to hear it.

Buppies, hope your healing.

Don, I forgot how nice your keyhole garden looks after seeing pics last year...is that rebar and chicken wire holding those rocks? I saw a big sun shade sail thingee at Costco this week and made we wonder if the pool grand opening had occurred.

Yes it is chicken wire. It held the stones together while the motor dried.

About the pool opening, it is not going to happen this year. We are making changes. Not to worry it's all positive.

Good morning! 74 partly cloudy. Got the yard mowed yesterday and got wet from a brief shower but no dust. I'll only have to mow it one maybe two more times this summer.

Mine had a tiny leak after 7 years and 2 months.:laughing: It was replaced under warranty a couple of months ago.

Good morning!
Hot and humid again today. I hope the AC guys come this afternoon as they promised. The trouble with my heat pump is a little beyond my capability to fix. I think I can still fix it but have no time to figure it out with so many things going on. It seems to be the pattern of most everything in my life of late. I can fix the house, the AC, the cars, the tractor but can't do them all so I pick and choose what I'll do and what I'll get someone to help.

Lots and lots of house clean up to do to prepare for a large group visit to my house. We have 17 guests coming.

Finally took settings off WiFi

Wow. That looks so good. Right now I have several layer of card board. Plan to add about 30 cubic feet of composted cow manure. Then 15 cubic feet of top soil then mulch on top before I plant. I'll have to think about the straw top. I think I'll need it as well.

Yep, it just doesn't get any better than that.
