Good morning!!!!

. We don’t have a nuclear power plant, it is Geothermal.

I had to chuckle at this, when I first saw the photo of the plant I thought it was a desalinization plant or a pumping station of some kind,
having worked in the power plant business for several very interesting years, I knew that wasn't a nuke plant. Then I read the article and
saw geothermal. Expensive plant to lose, supplies one quarter of Island's electricity I read. Maybe that's wrong too...
And you don't have to worry about any of it being totally independent.

Perhaps in some ways this will keep development out and nature in, just what the local residents want.

This geothermal plant is another political football. Some have fought it tooth and nail since the beginning and blame it for anything they can. Others bemoan the fact it is under utilized.

David, is that where Elton John lives?

Not a clue, Randy

Good morning all, 60 this morning going to 82 with fog and then sunny. Got the LA 145 running well with a mustard bottle tricklleing gas in the intake. Ran for about 3 min until I ran out of gas in the bottle. Went out and bought a fuel pump and hope to mow grass with it today. We will see if that is the problem. Guy is coming today to give us a price on the new ac/hp. Wondering what it will be.

Prayers for all in need, have a great day. Ed

Good morning. Just been moving the sheep out of a couple of fields ready to do something about the patches of stinging nettles while the weather holds. Little Max was on top form and when we came back he decided he needed to take a nap before finding the energy to eat breakfast.

The diagnosis is in the Tv is terminal at a $450 repair.

$450
Your TV hospital must have costed for a full internal transplant. I suppose all of us consumers that constantly demand new "improved" electronic gadgets are responsible for the lack of sensibly priced replacement boards.

Mostly, unless your truck was ancient, $750 for an ABS module sounds a rip off. That's worse than Don's spare parts pricing as the OEM will be fully aware you have little option other than buy one from them, with zero competition. No option but to make the ransom payment.

My did it rain last night. .32 inches? No...ten times that, over three inches of rain in just a few hours.
No watering today for sure.

69 going up to 86 in nice clear day. Once the Garden Club ladies leave, my to do today is firing up the orchard sprayer and doing both orchards and the azaleas around the house, as they always grow some kind of mold on them. The orchard spray is mostly organic and pretty mild so I can use it anywhere.

One small unpleasant job, sharpening the blades on the JD mower, made oh so necessary by my hitting a small wire tree cage that was over in the shadows under the tree line (should have been put away of course...) and I wrapped that metal cage right up into the mower deck. Made a horrible noise, I immediately shut the deck off, drove the mower back to the barn and parked it, took out the old Gravely and finished the job. Today I need to lift the JD up with the Kubota FEL and see what a mess I made underneath. Only thing worse is hitting barbed wire, and I've done that too.

Ed, hope the estimate is not too high. Buppies hope the leg is better and LS is getting around better.

36 and going to a high of 81. Wind ESE 6 mph. Sunny.

I gotta go to town this afternoon. Lots of running around between SR and Sundridge

I disconnected the ABS module on my Jeep back in 2005 (the Jeep is a 2001) and it stops just fine. I just need to remember that IF I pile on the brakes hard that they will lock up. I drive in order to get the very best fuel mileage I can out of my aerodynamic phone booth. 25 mpg highway.

Have a good day all

Ed about a year or so ago a 16 seer unit we replaced was about $6000 and it was 11 years old

65 high of 81 today another day without rain and lots of sunshine but on horizon a lot more rain next week something we do not need

Leg is still sore but healing very slowly and cyst healing nicely according to better half

Prayers for those in need

That's really good fuel mileage for a jeep

LFN, is that still legal ? Here that would be an immediate fail on the annual test. Almost certainly would invalidate my insurance too.
