Good morning!!!!

[sodamo]

69°F and .16 inches rain.

An excellent day mowing with Sophie’s BX yesterday, got the Laupahoehoe end of property all mowed. Just about the right height and density.

I did leave message for my LS tech, but he didn’t call back as he texted he would. Guess that might mean nothing to report yet.

Hope to continue with Hilo end today. And reach out to tech again.

After some very cursory discussion we have decided to take a trip next year, Ireland. Our planning won’t be same level as Drew. Can’t drive there and we sold the RV years ago.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Same here, our good friend is Irish and he is visiting currently in Ireland. He is also our long term financial advisor.
Landed in Shannon a bunch of times and been to Dublin on business trips a few times.

Sodamo - I think an RV would not like so much salt water

Watered the veggies, still no rain though !

East coast may become much wetter in 10 days or so Ken hurricane changing pattern as we speak or what’s left of it

God is mad at me.
Went to the local deli.
All, except the parking space furthest away is taken.
Just as I park the sky's open up.
Cursing I walk in soaked.
Takes a few minutes to get my order and I can see through the front window that the rain has stopped.
After waiting for a few old biddies at he cash register I get out just as the monsoon hits.
Now I'm really soaked to the skin.
My ball cap is dripping through to my head.
Driving home, 15 minutes, the cloud breaks and just a touch of clear sky.
Just before turning into home, flash of lightening, and monsoon starts again.
The paper bags from the Deli are soaked and threatening to fall apart.
I'm leaving a water trail through the entrance.
I put the stuff down on the kitchen counter just to see through the window the rain is just a drip.
Like really?
What did I do to deserve all this?
Ah, to Hell with it!

We are kicking around an Iceland/ireland or Scotland/UK trip sometime coming up..

91deg

turned water off to water softener, haven't been back down.

Somewhere in the night was thinking about the upstairs AC not keeping up, so dug out my manualJ calculations this morning. They don't look right to me, especially the upstairs numbers. so trying to figure out what I did 15 yrs ago. I do see one duct screw up going to the above garage rooms, I downsized main trunk without taking any air out.
When I put geo in, I totally almost totally redid the attic ductwork.

Original was a center feed AH in our walk in closet. The install of that, which I did not do, was terrible. I found out when I removed it, they had jambed the riser from the AH up against the attic duct that didn't fit tight, and it was dumping some air out into the attic. New Geo unit is at the end of the original house, it splits into two 8x16 ducts, one which feeds the original house, the other feeds 3 rooms over the garage

I know they are not balanced, so ordered an air flow meter to record flow at each outlet, and a duct sizing calculator to go thru the system and try to figure this out. HVAC is not my expertise, but I understand the concepts, I think......

Good Afternoon,
Massey, that was a great story, funny as heck, but sorry you got soaked !

David, you will love Ireland ! We went in 2006 or 2007, can’t seem to remember, but we had a ball ! Flew into Shannon and then drove to Galway on a rainy morning with no sleep! Lots of interesting sights to see !!

Got a little more trimming done this morning but it was hot, tee shirt soaked in no time ! Looks like it could thunder here but so far nothing more than some darker clouds !

Certainly is easy to get dehydrated in this weather !

Scotty I have not done German for months, I'm a drop-out. Just too much stuff going on to have a clear learning environment.

Don, I could totally understand with what you have been going through the last few months ! The good news is that you can pick right up where you left off ! My next door neighbor in Ct speaks a little German and I remember him telling me that there is an area in San Antonio that has a German speaking area ! Wonder if you’ve been down that way ?

Hope all have a good afternoon and stay cool !

Cool story Massey Rider sorry you got wet

Dad's grandmother on his dad's side was born in Germany. She died in 1951, I wonder what she thought of her grandson going off to war to fight the germans. Also have relatives from Ireland.
