Good morning!!!!

[kenmbz]

successful morning
after haircut, which was nice, headed to Popgadget's with rv.
took twice as long because both main roads were blocked with paving and tree work.
tis the season.
burned out lights replaced, all lit up when done, outstanding.
And since I was trying to replace the gen spark plug with the wrong one....(could have swore I doublechecked)
out came the old one and Paul had a spare right there. So gen is fully serviced now

filled up with gas on way home, least expensive I've seen in a while.

handoff of tomatoes made and time to come home and stop sweating.
by time I had rv hooked up again, shirt was soaked.
on really hot days,assuming I'm not going somewhere, I stay cooler without a shirt

tomorrow morning when cool will climb up there and clean/wax all the old mounting crud off; new one half the size of
broken one. I also have to silicone the upper running light.

I love the wire weight!

Good job PopGadget!

weather forecast for next three days is very hot, mid to upper 90's, who knows what HI will be.
looks like I'm back on watering detail; this heat dries out the raised beds

Ken, I hope you are floating in your pool at lunchtime.

tempted to crank the a/c down a notch and take a nap

Sitting in front of my screens, chatting with people around the world.
So,,, bored
Did go out and put the hose into the pool to add some water though.

Nice photos! I'd make sure you get the fiberglass really clean as I have found out the hard way that silicone doesn't do well with residual wax.

And I love the idea of backing the RV up to a roof edge for additional safety! Nice job @Popgadget!

All the best,

Peter

there was even a bigger advantage
Paul's shop is completely air conditioned so when that far door was open, we still got a little cool air
coming out. On a hot sunny day that felt great, though we did close the doors when we were done.

having owned boats for a long time, I'm an old hand at cleaning fiberglass. I have to go to the hardware store anyway tomorrow
for a few other things and think I'll pick up a small can of acetone, and some rubber gloves. I already have the silicone caulk.
I think the acetone will dissolve all that stuck on crud, and then I'll follow up with cleaner wax on the exposed parts.
I have to seal the small fixture first,
then clean up the larger center area and then likely silicone that too.

the bad center fixture was stuck on with a ton of caulk. Upon closer inspection, the whole fixture had been broken in half, and someone
glued it poorly back together, and stuck it up there using a whole tube of caulk..
The oem fixture is 178 bucks so I can see why that didn't thrill them and they got the
glue out. Just can't figure out how they broke something all the way up there; housing wasn't crushed, made no sense.
I replaced it with one half the cost, half the size, and much better online ratings.

98/107 yuk

If you know fiberglass, then you know...

The long OEM light might just have fractured from the fiberglass flexing. RVs aren't exactly rigid.

Regardless, I'm glad that it was a successful fix!

All the best,

Peter

92F hazy sky no breeze to stir the air,humidity creeping up most of the day more so tomorrow.

Snuck out got critter food got feeling I shouldn't have...ouch rest of the day baby the foot.

Mrs. cooking cheeseburgers on the grill with all the fixings I better get bib just in case. Evening deck feet up maybe smooth cigar wait for the critter and stars.

Enjoy your evening all.

Ron...how's Sassy doing in the hot weather lately.

I need to stop listening to the weather hypers.
Finally got my butt in gear this morning, and mowed the yard. Was still wet some at noon, but got it all done.
Really wasn't bad out, nice breeze most of the time.
after mowing, decided to pull the battery from the tractor and charge it, and charger didn't even recognize a battery was attached.
so loaded battery in truck, returned it to costco, where I got money back for partial warranty, and got new battery.
Will install that in the morning when cooler in barn. Tried to start ranger, no go there.

watched several videos on taking sub cooling readings on AC unit, since mine use TXV valve. nameplate does not list expected value though.
Finally just decided to call a guy to come look at it. downstairs unit starting to freeze the evap coil.

Sassy does not like the heat and humidity. Goes outside does her thing and back at door to get back inside. No car trips. Way to hot.

70F, dark, and wet @ 20:30.

Got the lawn down around the house all mowed before the rain arrived.

Also drug another ash log up to the woodlot. Probably the heaviest one, was a bear since the sun was out, it was around 90F at the time, and chain kept coming off.

Hauled down another bucket load of wood chips on the return trip.

Skies started darkening up as I was finishing the mowing.

Special Weather Statement issued, followed by a Tornado Warning (radar indicated) … which was canceled within about 15 to 20 minutes.

Then a Dangerous Thunderstorm Warning.

That rolled in just about the time The Woman was getting home.

Got 1.75” in about 30 minutes and it’s still raining.

Had my first glass of iced tea out of the new unit with dinner.

Menards order is finished, just need to pull the trigger and place it.

Probably go pick it up tomorrow.
