Good morning!!!!

I might add, after breaking up any glass, in a bag, I also put it in an old box (amazon), tape it up, to protect others.

Good Afternoon,
We got to our Vermont house about 2:30 ! Mostly cloudy with some breaks of blue sky ! Cooler here now, maybe 80 or so with a pleasant breeze ! Started the smoker about 3 or so with 3 racks of pork ribs for our company! We also have some nice corn on the cob and big baked potatoes to dive into later ! Lawn is not bad so I’m sitting on the porch relaxing now !

Filled with sex and intrigue, bad trashy neighbors walking topless down the country roads drunk as a skunk.

Drew, sounds like my kind of story !

So now there will be another appointment to find the leak and then we will see how the warranty works

Frits, I believe what they can do while charging the system is inject a die into the lines ! When you find the colored die you found your leak ! I’m surprised he didn’t do that when charging the system !

Hope all having a good Thursday!

High 90s saw a tree rat laid out on the fork in the tree. I tried to get a Ron pic but he scampered around to the backside of the trunk. So you just get a pic of the big bird left behind by the previous owners.

From what I've seen from installer here they don't use the dye till you have an issue. Some of the new acoustic detectors are amazing, they actually check with the system down and pressurized. Then of course the older "Freon" sniffers.
When my condenser went bad on my tractor I added the dye after using the sniffer and having no luck. Then with it fully charged the sniffer found the general area and the black light found the dye leak.

And a question for all the smart people on here, what is this ?
It's located on a National Grid power pole.

and a close up;

Thanks
Lou

Lou, a detector of some kind or a transmitter.
warmer?

today was much nicer and felt great to be outside until later in the day when heat built up.
This morning particularly was lovely after the rain. spent an hour on BIL's porch with a cold
ginger beer. It was good until I saw it was 200 calories and full of sugar. Sure was zippy though.
an old fashioned "soda" that came with all the taste treats and health downsides.

I didn't get as much done as I hoped partly since my trash can is full of other stuff
going out tomorrow. When it's empty I'll start to fill it with pieces of that storm door.
picked a nice yellow squash and four tomatoes.
kind of a lazy day

Got back from taking supper over to a friend of ours, she's in her 80's or later, got ran over by a bicyclist while getting her mail last week. The guy that hit her broke his hip, she was just bruised and scraped up.

Found out a couple days ago there are plans for a new power line near me, to feed one of those new data centers. Bringing power down from near PA line somewhere. One route will be close where I might see it. Apparently been in the works for awhile, but it just got leaked and people are up in arms over it.

I finally got the letter from the quack about my stroke. At first they were insisting that I had to go into the office to collect it. 6 weeks later they mailed it to me. Exactly what they said they wouldn't do. Quote: "We don't mail anything with the Doctors' signature on it." "You must come into the office to get it." All worried about forgeries. So I accused them of insinuating that I would forge the quacks signature. Not this lad. I might be old but I am not stupid.

Junior gets to go to town tomorrow and mail a letter registered for me. I think I will give him some extra cash to pick up a few things.

Tomorrow is also grass cutting day. Think I will cut the front and the north field. Behind the house doesn't need it yet.

As soon as I get some money (Unemployment Insurance) coming in I will order a hand spreader and some grass seed with fertilizer and top dress the back.It is a little thin in a couple of spots.

Got 8 face cords of cut and split hardwood yesterday. I'll leave that in the driveway until probably late October to season.

My buddy that fell off his truck and shattered his pelvis is going to be in hospital for another 6 to 8 weeks. They flew him from North Bay to Oshawa and then transferred him to a small town hospital near his home.
My company didn't just lose one train driver this summer, they lost two. Both of us were the Northwestern Ontario drivers.
Now they can scramble to get drivers to go up there.

heard today that 36 people got laid off from where I worked a couple years ago, including my old boss. I'm so glad I left when I did, I saw the handwriting on the wall. The company used to be a great small company, but got bought out by a big national company that ruined it. The experts were leaving left and right, and the customers took their business to the experts new companies. I still remember the new big guys coming in to reassure us they would leave us alone and it would be business as usual, and then they started making changes.......
