Good morning!!!!

[txdon]

Good morning! 71˚F heading to only the mid 80s with clouds. Yesterday we had a good short shower and this is the first time my two rain gauges have not been very close. The plastic rain gauge said .11" and the tempest said .88" I think total rainfall was somewhere in-between.

Mostly and Buckeye no heat so no S'mores, this is July in Texas the chocolate melts by just being outside I'll have to check to see if the marshmallows toast in direct sunlight.

The tree I dug up and the cut oak limbs over the roof were taken to the biochar disposal site. They usually charge $15 a pic-up load but when he saw the size of my bed he only charged me $10.

Now let's see what I can take care of today.

Drew look for Water Processed decaf coffee. It is coffee that has been naturally decaffeinated with water rather than solvents to gently remove caffeine from raw green coffee beans while maintaining the beans’ distinctive flavor profile.

Don, I believe we might could have green pastures around here for the rest of the summer, but August and September can be brutal too.
Can you run a gas powered chainsaw there, or only quiet electric? Your new home seems really special, it looks like hospice likes it too.

I just cooked up some breakfast tacos, but only my son and I had one. Water process decaf for me usually. Coffee this am was good.

RNG, good luck with the insurance. Chico fire is huge, prayers they can get it under control. Glad I don't live in a huge pine forest with pine needles covering the ground.

Old android phone battery about to kick the bucket....Have a newer version phone already, just need to migrate over. Wifey will help with this. She's a pro at it.

Trying to find Lincore 55-G or 60-G mig wire online at Home Depot. (I have a gift card), but they don't seem to offer any hardfacing mig wire there.

Prayers for our team.

Been a busy couple of days. Got transferred to a new line at work. Need to build 100 Allison 1000series transmissions. Basically the same tranny in the older chevies with the duramax. Another old guy and I was tasked with it. So, job security is there.

This morning after breakfast with my dad I had to replace a sticky caliper on my car and just did a complete pad and rotor replacement, and since it was in the air I changed the oil.

Gonna be mid 80's today and not a cloud in the sky so our daughter went to a lake with one of her friends family for her first time water skiing. That should be interesting

67°F and .15 inches rain.

As part of my project need to reconfigure a water line drop from a single to 2 spigots. Need to paw through my inventory but fully suspect I don’t have all the parts so a stop at HD later, before meeting friends in town.

Glad you had a safe trip, Drew.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

some days you swing just fine at the ball and plain miss.

after I had delivered tomatoes and other stuff to Ken's front door, he didn't answer doorbell but I saw
his car, so figured he was on business call. And when I get home he has emailed me saying he is in California for a week and no
one is home.
groan.
back I go to retrieve the tomatoes

thanks David. nice to be home playing with my tomatoes even if I am leaving them off at homes
with no one there....

BEF, replacing that is a simple common repair, if you don't want to splurge yet for new. You could supplement cooling with a mini split in your most common room to support the geo unit. I'm drooling over a new heat pump like Popgadget got. It would save me a lot off my heating bill which is electric.

I had a guy out yesterday to look at it. His company is going to give me a price to repair. That will determine the next course of action. Unit has to be evacuated, new TXV brazed on, including the tiny freon tube, then recharged. Then hope the compressor wasn't also damaged.
I have not been able to find many high efficiency units like the one popgadget is getting.
Anyone know about Champion brand? they seem to be the old York company. Like most brands, they have units to cover different price points.

I know, just pulling your leg..... Last time camping, I showed my wife you can melt marshmallows using the gas stove in the camper, no need to start a fire in 100 degree weather just to have a s'more.
