Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

I realized I missed a good opportunity to find a forever home for my motorhome's oem living room jacknife sofa.
It is now hogging up a great deal of my very limited basement space, and is going to get ruined down there.
Still nice, beige pleather, I replaced it with conventional hideabed.
And I'm thinking, I bet Buckeye could find a use for that.
if only in his barn as a seat...
and he was here with a trailer.
Sigh.
sometimes you just don't think fast enough.
ok, perhaps better late than never.

I have one decent condition rv jacknife sofa I will give free to anyone who has a use for it,
as long as they come get it out of my basement.
It's not that heavy, and I can help.
Ken, for the garage? Popgadget, upstairs in shop?
I bet you could build a nice treehouse for your grandson with it...

errands run, landlord's two sons came over, super nice guys,
and immediately approved the wood fence I wanted to install.

164 inches of rain is just plain amazing David
that's way more than Hawaii's average

The 10 Wettest States In The United States Of America​

Rank	State	Average yearly rainfall	Average monthly rainfall	Wettest Month
1	Hawaii	57.2	4.8	December
2	Louisiana	56.9	4.8	June
3	Mississippi	55.5	4.6	December
4	Alabama	55.3	4.7	March
5	Florida	53.7	4.5	August
6	Tennessee	51.6	4.1	July
7	Georgia	50.1	3.9	July
8	Arkansas	49.6	4.0	May
9	North Carolina	49.3	4.0	August
10	South Carolina	48.0	3.9	August

well of course that made me curious as to who was driest

• Nevada (Annual Precipitation: 9.56 inches)
• New Mexico (Annual Precipitation: 12.38 inches)
• Arizona (Annual Precipitation: 12.61 inches)
• Utah (Annual Precipitation: 13.57 inches)
• Montana (Annual Precipitation: 14.33 inches)
• Wyoming (Annual Precipitation: 14.39 inches)

I think one inch of rain every Wednesday night would be nice
with guaranteed nice weekends. And of course it must snow everywhere on
Christmas Eve.

And be gone by the 2nd of January.

Haven’t counted our radio presets, we only use 2. Both are same station but work depending where we are on the island.

can you imagine the treehouse Phil could build?
it would be a work of art

David, are you on the wet side of the mountain or just the wettest spot in Hawaii?

Our weather is a bit strange this year. Our friends, one gultch over, less than 10 miles as the crow flys is more than 20 inches less than us this year. Kailua Kona only averages about 20 inches per year.

We are Windward side and not even wettest on island. Kauai is wettest in state.
I’ve seen it rain on East end of our property and not the West, rain above or below us. At 1100 ft elevation it flows downhill.

The 20 miles trip to town may be same weather whole trip or in and out of rain multiple times. Have some interesting roadside waterfalls at times. Makes for interesting.

I made a tool out of 1/2” aluminum to open and close PVC valves. There are tools for PVC valves on Amazon. But they are kind of expensive.

didn't know there were such tools. I was thinking a large pair of channel lock plyers.

I’ve had the plastic ears breakoff. Gently use a pipe wrench

I have a couple that are down in a plastic access. Cannot get Channel Locks into hole. 12” long piece of aluminum cut to fit over valve handle. Works good.

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.3C and it's presently 17.0C [heading to 23C], clear and calm. There was 2.5mm in the gauge @ 0700.

Yesterday I found out that my Sister had had a mild stroke a fortnight ago, but didn't realise it until a couple of days ago. She's now in hospital but texted me that she's 'fine'. That was followed by a video call with my Aunt to get the whole story... probably an operation once 'they' locate the blockage. <sigh>

I'm off to Church in a half hour and then the rest of the day is His.

That's about it, take care all.
