Good morning!!!!

[Looking4new]

My conversion from kilometers to miles is (?)meters times 39 (there are 39 inches in a meter) divided by 12 (12 inches to the foot) divided by 5280 (feet in a mile). There is a shorter formula but I can never remember it.
eg; 32 kms is 32000 meters x 39"= 1,248,000 inches divided by 12= 104,000' divided by 5280 feet in a mile=19.696969 miles or rounded up to 20 miles.

ken, if you put a freezer outside maybe the deer will stand beside it for when you shoot them. A nice crop of venison.

The wild raspberries are ready for the bears and other wildlife to eat. I don't really like raspberries. Blueberries should be ready to eat at the end of August. They can have them too.

They are calling for rain, that would be disappointing.
I have a new pool float for you and I'm coming rain or shine

pool sounds pretty good right now. Trimmed the veggie garden and then tackled the limb
that broke on property line edge. This time it fell on my side. Last time other side...
Makita just the right size for it and thankfully oil lube tank was full.
so steal two batteries from other Makita stuff and zipped right through it.
two loads on back of golf cart and my yard duties are done for today.

Google is your friend, but it never hurts to exercise the old noodle.

RNG, the fellow that delivered my trike followed google maps and arrived here an hour later than he should have after getting lost. Google hasn't updated their maps after the new highway was finished 5 years ago. In town it is good, but the transition from the highway to town sux.

I just found this preliminary weather forecast for the U.S. and part of Canada for this winter;

69°F and .11 inches rain

Drizzled all morning yesterday, no mowing.

But I did get to close out the Olympics before piddling around a bit.

Tiller chain at PO to be picked up.

Happy Hour at friends this afternoon. Hawaiian theme food. Trying Hawaiian garlicky shrimp.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

74F and partly cloudy @ 12:15, heading up to around 78F for the day's high.

Located drill and bits and got an electrical box on the deck joists taken down first thing yesterday.

Then took Cub around back and left it for Woman to load with the weeds She had pulled.

After that I headed up and worked on starting the new compost pile with the stuff that wasn't fully decomposed, also did more screening and added to the 2nd pile of screened material:

Don't think the leaves in the picture above are actually turning color, just the difference between which ones are in sunlight and which ones are in shade.

Took a break and came down to the house and cleaned up the last of the ribs for dinner and then headed back up to do some more screening.

Swapping out the flat face coupler nipple seems to have solved the leak on the loader valve ...

Wind slacked off as it was getting dark and I sprayed the weeds that had sprouted and were growing up out of the 1st pile of screened compost. Got that almost all done before I ran out of juice.

Woman was visiting with neighbor lady and her dogs when I got back down to the house. She had picked a bunch off tomatoes.

Started refilling empty sprayer.

Went out around 01:00 to catch the peak of the Perseids, saw 5 or 6 very bright ones.

Mowing down here around the house probably on agenda for today.

Also finish refilling that sprayer.

Probably swap out Light Material bucket for the Shrub bucket and dig out several clumps of hosta at the southeast corner of the house and move those over to the planting bed east of the garden so The Woman can work on those.

Otherwise see what else comes up.

Hope everyone is having a decent Monday ...

Hawaiian theme food. Trying Hawaiian garlicky shrimp.
besides pineapple, what other flavors would make it "Hawaiian" David?

went over to friend's home, place is fine, watered all the flowers anyway, and discovered cat box overflowing in basement, two
of them actually and now cat is dumping on concrete . Smells great too. I need to email my friend and tell her to offer 20 bucks to her lady that feeds the cats to clean out the little boxes. Not my job description...

@WoodChuckDad put in a similar unit. He sometimes drops on this thread. I don't think he has hooked up his loops yet though, thinking just his hot water.

I know my system still in my basement just has a water fill valve, an air scoop (I think it's called, that removes air from the line) with a small pressure tank above it. my circulator pump was on the boiler, and I put in zone valves, that I never could get to work. basically the zone valves took 12V signal to open when thermostat called for heat. I used a 12V relay that triggered when thermostat called for heat, with a stronger 12V supply to power the zone valve.
1" output line to air scoop & expansion tank, then it splits to two 3/4" each with a zone valve.

water makeup valve goes into return line, and circulator pump on input to boiler.

I’m late to the party. This just popped up on my feed of topics. Is there a thread talking about his boiler setup? Is he already done and all is well?

I was sitting down for a quick late lunch. I broke a blade off my Ventrac and can’t find it. Getting ready to take my metal
Detector out there and see if I get lucky

He’s got it plumbed, but not sure if he’s fired it up yet. Look back about 2 weeks ago

Hope you find the blade.
