I got the golf cart batteries filled with distilled water. 4 of the 6 batteries showing neg voltage. I was able to charge 2 batteries some, but the charger objects to the negative ones. Charging the two individual positive batteries further drove the negative batteries down. I read that...

LS, good to hear from you. Hope the good news continues. Happy anniversary Paul.

Now that was funny!

going to run up to a golf cart store monday to ask them, but think it should be putting out 48V, UNLESS the smart part is just shutting it down. Might be batteries were off charge too long and are too low. Measuring individual cells, they are low. I also checked water level, and some cells a...

The charger for the golf cart either isn't working, or the batteries have a problem. Get a flashing yellow on charger. Conflicting info online on what it means, some say voltage problem, other places says it's in slow charge mode. volt meter on output of charger only showing 2V and should...

like Dodge missed the UV additive to the 2001 dashboards, and they all cracked apart. Good breakfast with the gang. Picked up a perscription, now not sure what to get into today. 80 deg and sunny.

Scott, beach looks fun. Wngsprd, when deck is done, come on up, we can hike short section of the AT. We have plans to camp a couple weekends in Oct. We also have plans for a long trip out west, but might postpone out of concern about dad’s health. Don, hope wife’s test is neg this morning.

Was wondering about the moon, I went out to get my mail at 9:30 pm and took a pic. Was bright out.

I believe Trex HQ in Winchester VA, they have a large building just off of I81. Had a family over for supper tonight, one of the ones we camp with. Her husband wasn't feeling good so didnt come, just his wife and their one son. Their other son is the one in MI that we visited last fall. I...

Snagglepuss likes the unfinished step.

Smoky approves. Nice sitting on the deck in the shade today

Got picture frame done on deck2, now just needs the board against house, and steps done

My monthly power bills used to be under $100 month, now are $200-$300 a month. Same house, 1 less person. The war on coal came at a price.

Got all trex on deck2, except piece against the house (still have antenna rotor cable in the way), and the outside picture frame pieces. Did raise the antenna a little, cut the pipe, installed trex under it with blocking below, and have it sitting on a piece of PT wood right now. Think I'll...

61 deg we got a surprise .12" rain last evening, wasn't calling for any. My truck tires get rotated every time I drive it. yesterday was a breakfast meeting, then I just kind of chilled all afternoon, and taught a class last night. Not much else to report, up early for me.

Sorry, hate when that happens. I only had a front tire do that, would hate for a back tire to come off.

That was what I came up with laying in bed last night. Will put blocking under the decking for support, sit another block on top for pole to sit on. Likely cut it shorter rather than raise it.

I have at least 3 jump starters/air compressors, use them a lot. But wouldn't start my tractor the other day with a dead battery.

I remember when electronic ballasts first came out, they were pushed for their energy savings, but turned out they caused a lot of noise issues on electric lines in computer rooms. I have been running a few LED tubes on ballasts at home, and none have failed yet, and it's been a few years now.

after supper went out and put on more trex boards, I miscounted, will need another small box of clips. this morning I cut a piece of trex on the wrong side, cut out what was to be kept, going around a post, but should be able to salvage it by turning it the other direction for a post cutout on...

Yes, a smart guy. I like him a lot, very interesting to listen to some of his technical discussions. My wife said she watched someone do 30 pushups, and asked if I could do that. I said sure, I could watch someone do 60.

that's a good shot

Listen to the Music - All the Time

made my run to town, got more deck clips, 4 more trex 8 footers, lunch at mission bbq, picked up pharmacy items. When I got home, moved the AC material to the barn for now, so more barn tetris blocks added.

Little deck work, but ran out of clips. Need to unload concrete mix from truck

morning all My wife went line dancing with some of her friends, that’s her new entertainment. I need to sell a lot of stuff, like my woodworking tools I haven’t used in years. South City Midnight Lady

Like their music, have seen once or twice. Hope power back soon

That is more entertaining.

So they didn’t hide like my tape measures did once. Half of my jobs are trying to find the tools I knew I had somewhere. I did get my old sawzall back in service with a new set screw, used it again today. Still need to buy some more solid edge trex for deck2.

After the circus left this morning, got busy on the deck. got blocking down the middle, the one post moved, that I had been contemplating for a long time, the matching post on the other side installed, most of the joists taped, got out the laser and lined up to the existing deck, and got 3 deck...

Guys working on new fiber line cable in front of house, a real clown show. One pickup parked in my grass, another bucket truck turning around made a 5 pt turn pulling into my grass several times, back hitch plowed up some of neighbors yard. Sitting on porch just watching the show Shows over...

That would be fun.

Sat out on the deck, until the bugs started biting. Didn't expect bugs to be biting at 64deg. But I was also getting cold.

Many like that around here, old house and barn have the road going between them, like my neighbors. When the original farm got subdivided, including my lot, the house and barn are now owned separately. My neighbor bought the old farm house on our side of the road, neighbor across the road now...

only a couple zerks on my zero turn, none on spindles. Have wanted to hike to McAfee but haven't made it. I understand they made larger parking area and put trail on a bridge over the road.

Which supervisor, Snagglepuss or the boy? Both participated in work the same... Was a good day, none of that shrub removal was in the plans, but it looks better. They kept encroaching out and out and out, amazing the matt of roots under ground, they just went every where. course now she wants...

Happy Birthday Ken!!

PJ, good to hear from you, sorry for circumstances..

Now sitting on deck eating on first Cantaloupe from garden.

Beautiful day Good breakfast with the gang Wife helped and we got all the potatoes dug. Used BX to take piles of weeds away. Even took up the plastic between rows, so now when the weeds grow back, can mow them. I just got everything put away in barn, my wife started cutting back bushes in...

I like Bristol area, could do TN around there. The Savannah bananas played at Camden yards last night, that was entertaining.

Other lot we looked at yesterday, there are two 4.6 acre lots in here, fruit trees on back side. Up in mts near the AT, and near state forest. Nice laying land, but neighbors all have sand mound septics. Would expect bears here.

that reminds me of using Smith charts in college in the antenna theory course.

Yes, that’s not a small line. We passed on a lot a few yrs ago due to the same gas line. Looks to be a power plant several miles east along that gas line.

i thought of that looking at land yesterday. House near road would save on electric and driveway costs. However the septic area is way back on that lot, so ideal place for house is way back. This is picture from house site looking east, back to the road. Our car is way out there. Houses south...

On our drive today

I've only seen community ones, this plat shows a 150 ft x 30 ft SWM basin, with a dry well required for each house. The part I don't like is the township says they can come and inspect any time they want, and inspection is required if a 1" rainfall. I don't like where this could go. It...

After hearing back from the realtor in PA, won’t be pursuing the lot. Was overpriced anyways. They require SWM pond per lot, have to give township permission to inspect, building restrictions are ok, no existing well. Not worth the hassle. Not sure if SWM rules are per township or county.

Spent couple hrs reading over some just released info. Wow, and that’s all I’ll say. Saw an interesting lot up in PA in an area I love, but overpriced. Got us talking again about getting out of MD, as it is so expensive here, especially taxes. Just don’t think I want to start over with...

I’d sell my old blade for that, and an old cultivar. I got a ton of stuff I need to get rid of.

Getting house shaking thunder now. storm pretty much went past us to the south, only .14" of rain

They been replacing top soil and hydroseeding.

wngwprd, tickets went on sale today for the Fall train rides from Staunton VA. We are doing the Sat Oct 25th one thru the tunnel, but not the meal this time. Rain missed us so far M7040 is 20 miles due west of me.

We are getting more general Asian places that kind of do it all, instead of dedicated Chinese or Thai places. Used to be a really good Thai place near work years ago that had excellent Pad Thai, but it eventually went downhills, and finally closed up. Another place near another place I worked...

I looked at WU a little bit ago, didn't show hardly anything, saw a flash flood warning for Morgantown WV area, looked at WU, nothing, even after refreshing the APP. Looked again a few minutes later, totally different, storms everywhere. Not sure what was up with WU.

I'm partial to Pad Thai, but not too many places fix it to my liking. Hot and sunny here, 92 deg. They pushed storms back a couple hours, storms all NE of us right now. Did sams club run for a few things.

Nice pup pic buppies. Was 99% humidity when I looked this morning. Sprayed sevin on cantaloupe plant stem, and beans. Seems it’s very tiny bugs that drilled holes in the stem that killed the first plant,, and started to kill the 2nd until I sprayed it. This was after digging 1 row of...

Stilt grass is nasty, takes over everything. That reminds me I need to mow the stilt across the creek

Hope so, not cooling all the way down yet, so will have to see.. But much better than the last 2 days.

Have AC in the house again, for now. Will see how long it lasts. Upstairs unit was a user error on my part, can't believe I did what I did. downstairs he added some freon, but thinks TXV valve might not be working properly.

back from lunch in PA, diner near Gettysburg. Then drove around the country some, stopped at a couple markets but only got a cold water. Got a call about 3 PM, the HVAC guy wanted to stop by today, as in Now. But I was still in PA, so that didn't work. Fiber company stringing a steel...

Vacation day, as in too hot to work... Did get battery in tractor, fired right up, so one thing off the list. Started to look at ranger, decided too hot, it can wait. gathered game cam cards, no critters on camera so far, but got 787 vehicles passing in the last day and a half. cleaned up a...

I did replace the filters yesterday as they needed it, that’s when I noticed some freezing, not bad freezing

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...

Funny, now 81° and 84% humidity.

70° and first bottle of water. 99% humidity according to weather station.

It was a battery spring, cleaned it up, camera now working. This one is Stealthcam, I also have Wildgame. Both have been pretty good.

Just got a nice 1.43" rain.

.83" of rain sometime last night, things were wet this morning, not now. good worship, good lunch. Changed SD cards on one of my cameras, and nothing on it. Camera was turned on. Will need to go back out and check it, I moved it to try to identify the critter getting into the garden.

Hope better soon, ouch.

My camper lights, plastic cover pops off, screws under. You caulk around edge to keep water out.

Buppies, thanks Glad they got it.

My dad took care of my mom with it. Got a little deck2 work done, now have temp stairs. Joist tape not coming till Tuesday, Lowe’s wanted $35 for a small roll, I can get 4 rolls for that on amazon, but ordered 2. Very humid today, shirt was soaked

Went to Alabama concert last night in York PA, 10th time seeing them, and it never gets old. But they sure are getting old. Randy has a hard time walking around, but then I can relate to that. good breakfast this morning with the crew, bought more concrete mix and one piece of deck wood at...

cropping a pic from video is pretty blurry, I tried to pause video at a place where it was more clear, but it was facing away. Storming at the farm right now.

Lot of deer out, this was monday morning. Got a video of a young bobcat strolling thru the yard yesterday.

Update on the farm: We are late getting everything mowed this year, even though we started earlier. Between the frequent storms, and then the heat, been difficult. Waterline people want to extend the waterline agreement for up to 2 more years. Met with them monday, showed them if we extend...

good you figured it out, that's a strange one to happen. Never go by wire color...

Just north of cheboygan lighthouse, some swimming may be required.

Think you read my mind.

Did work on deck all day, was pretty nice out with a breeze, and work is now shaded until late afternoon. kept the pad wet all day to slow down the cure. got 2 step posts installed, and extra wood for the picture framing. replaced one joist on deck2 that had twisted a lot. Used up the rest of...

Me also. The railing might get done next year. I am starting to get stressed out over too many projects.

28” x 60” Steps will be around 48” wide Here’s an idea of how step will be

I broomed it a good bit later, when barely sticky to the touch.

spent much of the afternoon watching concrete dry. after mixing 9 bags, didn't feel like doing much else. Sat in shade, with a little breeze blowing sometimes. Gave pad a broom finish, after more smoothing when it set up some more. Got my fuel pressure gauge from Amazon, shows correct fuel...

Barely had enough concrete bags for the deck bottom step May have troweled a little too soon

Two bucks...

yesterday

I tell dad when i leave. Every time I leave, I think it might be the last. he's getting pretty frail.

but the list sure doesn't get any shorter.... I need to be in about 3 places at the same time. Hated to leave, but got stuff I need to get done here. I was sitting in my truck in Ohio, ready to leave, and I watched on camera as they unloaded 1 AH and 1condenser unit. I guess they had already...

Near the NE corner of the farm. 20 min trip back to the house. Actual corner is 100 ft or so right behind here, but almost straight down. first pic taken at bottom left corner of this pic. our east line fence is right in front of tractor. That was me mowing. Top left you can see a road way...

measure once, cut twice

Back from quick trip to Ohio. Got dad's ramp done. Met with waterline people, showed them what we wanted moved, they agreed. Nice guys. Mowed for a few hours this morning. stopped at 2 menards to pick up stuff to install new air handler upstairs. Premade parts to just splice together, will...

Like the easy fixes. Dads ramp is done Meeting with waterline people in morning, regarding them moving some of the line over so we can mow our trail. They are putting topsoil back and seeding the gas/oil pipeline up the road, so should get to our section soon.

Was overcast, light rain when we left house this morning, now sunny and hot and humid. .04” rain Good worship Good lunch.

Happy birthday Kyle. mowed rest of yard, stopped once for rain, but only got .02, so went back out later and finished. Looked at ranger fuel pump, think it's pumping fuel, as after I try to start, pull the fuel line at the pump, and it has gas in it. Need to pull far end of fuel line and see if...

Good breakfast with the gang today, got the breakfast nachos. Worked a little on the deck, got form ready for concrete. Didn’t want to pour today with threat of storms. Sitting out on upper deck2, have fan aimed at me on lower deck2.

I had groundhog last week, but we usually call it sausage.

still debating moving the post on the step of deck2. started prepping for the steps at the end of the deck2, 3 steps down to ground. cleared the area of dirt, brought in some stone to get it level, will pour a small pad for the bottom stringers to sit on, and considering a post against the...

My agent really worked to get me the best possible payout when my son totalled my subaru, Wasn't SF.

I keep a big fan running in my back garage door, that opens onto deck2. Today would cloud up some like it might storm, but got nothing so far today, high just hit 91 deg. Had lots of thunder 2AM last night (I went to bed at 1AM) but only .04" of rain from it. I was up late planning duct work...

Nice breeze blowing today. It got up to 90 deg, but most of my deck work now is in the shade. I would wait for a cloud to go over if I needed to work in the sun. Got the upper part of deck2 done, the 8x8. Decided I'll move the post in the step to the outside of the step, so that will be the...

cute chicks Ron

Not a big snake fan myself, but will keep the black ones around. Every time I go into shed, I look up, because it is sometimes in the rafters. Good for mice control. Dont know if I said before, but the odd acting groundhog is no more, and got buried. Dr appt went well, got there almost half...

75° and 98% humidity Fasting for bloodwork later. Pebbles cozy on my lap, her mommy Snagglepuss on the porch swing. Pic from yesterday

This unsightly line? lol, saw this driving up I81 this week.

Another day working on deck2, finished the post move, all bracing back on, deck boards screwed back down on deck1, then taped joists on upper deck2 (the 8x8 section level with deck1). Then after lunch started putting on some trex, got over half on before I ran out of energy. Tomorrow DR...

Need someone to back a truck into it? lol Lou's post reminded me, I couldn't get Ranger to start the other day, ran battery down trying, need to get it on charger.

all mail boxes here are in the road ROW. my property line is 20 ft or so short of the road edge. my mailbox is across the road, tight against a steep bank almost straight up.

Let me know how that goes. would think with evac, you would need to add more refrigerant if not using precharged line set. That opens up another can of worms. most units have enough charge for a short line set, but would need to add as long as mine is.

to reclaim the space on first floor, and it shortens the duct work. a bunch of sheet metal work either place, I'd like to reclaim the space downstairs where geo sits for a larger pantry. room upstairs was going to be 2nd floor laundry, still plenty of room for that if I ever get to it. also...

Was out measuring for line set length, looks like I need about 44-45 ft total. Will put AH in unfinished room upstairs (where current geo ducts pass through), about 5 ft in that room, gradual bend down to floor, drop thru floor to unfinished room below (where the geo unit now sits), turn 90...

Storms passed by with just a couple drops. Humid today Got post on deck1 moved to new spot to line up with deck2. Still need couple brace pieces and 4 pieces of trex rescrewed, had to remove and redo some. Will need to redo picture frame end, 1 will require new piece. I about dropped over...

Thinking about that also.

Cipro makes me nauseous. Lowes carries the Mr Cool units. I'm seriously considering one. woodchuckdad on TBN put in 2 of the wall units on his build, don't think he's had any trouble with them. Several of the youtube people I follow have used them. For the ducted systems, you can modify for...

83 deg, feels hotter, humid. Now looking at Mr Cool DIY hyper heat ducted system, has outdoor unit, lineset, and inside air handler. They have 35 ft and 50 ft precharged linesets. 35 is probably very tight, so would rather coil unused then come up short. My worries about them are the screw...

Drew, I have a very old blurry picture of me at the Kitchen Kettle when I was 17. I love the food at most of the places up in that area.

yes, but he said that is a $40K solution for a mitsubishi. He said no one has bought one from them yet.. I aint got that to spend, so will do $15K for a old school Trane unit, which is still ridiculous in my book. Sorry about your drummer.

like Tex Mex... Breakfast place has breakfast nachos, has potatoes, tomatoes, eggs, cheese, jalapenos, spring onions, salsa, sour cream. Had a good breakfast, spent long time talking. 90 deg, mowed all the yard. don't have any gas in cans, but didn't run out, so I know I can do at least 2...

Good to hear. Put a request into Lowes for a new system install price. Got immediate call back from a company. scheduled a visit, then did a google search on the company, and got bad reviews, lots of bad reviews. Called back and cancelled the visit and got a run around just doing that. I'm...

Scott, nice pic David, Glad alfredo was a hit Drew, glad safe trip, hope river ride is good. Hot and Humid again. Had AC guy out to give a quote on a new system. Ouch... He quoted a Trane unit. Said No one has yet to buy the mitubishi super duper inverter one, for around $30K-$40K depending...

agree, better than drought. We need more rain, they been mostly missing us. Good luck fighting quarry. one near me, lots of trucks, day and night. Our big fight now is more power lines to feed NoVA data centers. Got first ripe tomatoes 🍅

Wagtail, that’s the story of almost every project I work on. I know it’s here somewhere. Thomas, quite a herd.

76° Went out to put a couple boards on deck. Sweating like crazy, 91% humidity. Came back in.

Got his name from mitsubishi as a preferred contractor.

I was wondering the same thing.

happy birthday Happy!! Had a good breakfast meeting today, got my usual sausage bowl. Has scrambled eggs on bottom, potatoes, sausage gravy, cheese, toast. Our church hired a new minister, after looking for over a year. Turns out I knew this guys dad from years ago, and we have several mutual...

Got .12" rain from todays flash flood warnings, that happened this evening when I wasn't home. Just enough to wet the grass a little.

????????????? I answered tinhack's question....

and right now they are calling flash flood alerts for every storm cloud that goes over.... I recently got price to have wills and trust done, was a good bit of money so still not done. Some friends just did wills themselves using one of the legal software packages, and had us witness their...

my son switched from my verizon to "visible by verizon", still uses verizon network, but fixed price, much cheaper than what I'm paying now for data on verizon.

mine showed a satellite symbol where it normally showed signal strength.

Nothing like having to go to DMV with same documents as before, but this time you are “real”. In the meantime, it really didn’t matter. Wish I had the equipment to do my own AC work.

Happy birthday mostly Happy retirement again Thomas

Verizon

Storms just missed us. Got warning, thunder, a handfull of drops. back from trip to Nashville, and our oldest son. Hit 3 Buc-ees in 1 day going both direction. Stopped on way down in Pigeon Forge for a round of mini golf, and supper at the old mill. When we left monday to drive home, he...

When I was in an area of no cell signal, my phone gave a message that I could send my location via satellite,

Another 3 buc-ees day. Hit 100° down near Buppies, but cooled off to 79° up near natural bridge after a storm.

The pedernales river near there had flash flood warning sirens when I was there in the 80s.

Last Tuesday was 9 yrs since my mom passed. Seems like yesterday. Lots of fireworks last night. Went to bed with them still banging away. Not much planned for today Wngsprd, glad you got cornhole boards back in action. Fun game.

Tragic

Glad you all had a good time.

Stilt grass also stinks when cut. That’s all that grows across my creek in the woods.

Morning all. Happy Independence Day.

got the lawn all mowed. was still a little wet in the shade when I started, so tried to mow more in the sun at first. It's done. crews burying a conduit for fiber in front of house, had road 1 lane for awhile. clouding up outside now.

Wow, we got .22" yesterday.. We have a beaverdam near me also.

My friends named their baby Maverick. "Ford says the Maverick's 4.5-foot bed can fit up to 18 sheets of four-by-eight-foot three-quarter-inch plywood without having to load them at an angle." Better have them tied in good.... Too wet to mow.

That is one flavor I can't stand, hate coffee icecream.

I can do most flavors, not too picky.

After he rolled over from getting hit with the tape, he just sat there. I grabbed a shovel and started to go near it, but was worried it might have rabies the way it wasn't scared. It finally walked up behind a tree, and I let it go. Never seen one act like that.

chocolate works for me.... spent afternoon paying bills and other paperwork. rain only at .15", not enough, but better than none.

This morning I was thinking, I probably got that on the security camera video, and I did. so i kept a short video of me throwing the tape. got a little rain this afternoon, only .13" . most of big storms going around us. No deck work today, was very humid this morning. Working on plans...

Here’s the tape about to roll the groundhog, for good measure.

If they come around, I'll throw a tape at them too.... lol Ground hog didn't charge or anything, just didn't run away like they normally do.

sams club had them priced at $17.76

Dftodd, place looking nice. Drew, glad you got help. Buppies, hope you find more help with Holly.

Nice table story Ken House sales have slowed way down in my area. Spent day on the deck. Have it almost ready for deck boards Top 8x8 section just needs a board for picture framing, got 3 new posts installed today. Step needs a post yet, then it’s ready. Lower 8x12 needs joist ends cut and...

Glad it's running better. When mine started sputtering around, I did sea foam, and E0 gas. it ran better for awhile, then started running worse than before. I haven't had time to mess with it.

One of the people at the bday party in WV had a sprinter van that they purchased bare and made a camper out of it. Had generator, offroad tires, nice finish inside, even a shower. I didn't take a pic of it but found it in the background of one, but won’t load

Condolences Drew Back from WV. Nice party down on the river. Didn’t see any trains at the Cass Station, but did see this Western Maryland.

There was a band playing outside in the park last night, but storms put an end to that. Some very close lightning strikes, could hear it sizzle. Have about 1 1/2 hr drive down to the party on the river. We will only stay for half then head home. Other side of cash register People were very...

Yes, Seneca rock. One of restaurants was Gateway, at entrance to spruce knob. Had blackberry cobbler there, but they are known for good homemade pie. My friend who is having the party has been doing real camping out in the wilderness, where he canoes in to the area he camps at. This year he took...

Camped out in WV tonight, and by camped out, meaning a hotel with AC. Little weekend get away, for 70th Bday party for a friend along the greenbrier river. On and off rain storms, nothing bad. Met up with friends for supper. Visited an old store that has a working cash register built in 1910...

Ron, that Robin looks like it has an attitude. lol

Decided to mow, so got that all done. Wasn’t too hot. 90 now. As I was mowing up by the road corner, some guy pulls out of the side road pulling a trailer of junk, trailer came disconnected, swung up under the vehicle. He was able to unhook chains, pull forward, jack up trailer and get it...

My Ranger acting like that, only I haven't replaced anything yet.

Made a Lowes run, returned a few extra things, and bought a little more wood. Unloaded that in garage, and I'm probably done for the day, unless I do some work in the garage. stopped and picked up monthly meds.

What’s going on in Venice? I drive thru Washington PA on my trips to the farm. Just over an hour out. They been working on the pipeline at the farm in the heat. Looks like they might be winding down some, they took some pipe out yesterday. High here yesterday was 94, not the 100 prediction...

We got .28" rain while I was getting my hair cut. She charges $22 now, was just $18 last year or so.

temp dropped to 86 deg with some thunderstorms popping up just to the south of me. wish we would get some rain. Scott, hope the shot helps your wife.

92 deg already. watched the hee haw episode, thanks L4N. My youngest son is Loretta Lynn fan, ever since she was on the Dukes of Hazzard. We have visited her ranch in TN and toured her house. I have done nothing outside in the heat, nor inside in the heat. we only hit 97deg yesterdayd and...

I had scheduled a local Bryant dealer to come look at my geo unit, with the thoughts of maybe replacing one of the units with a Bryant Heatpump. They called me back later, said they don't work on geothermal units. I explained it's a heat pump like any other they work on, and she hung up on...

Congrats Don and wife on 50 yrs. My sister had her 50 yr anniv this month.

Last night after dark, when cooler, went to barn and Dug out the drip irrigation system I bought years ago, and never used. this morning set the parts out, cut a small section of header tube, added one short length of drip tube, and assembled and put water too it. some little leaks. I never...

Ron, thanks for update on Harvey.

drew, thats heat index. hit the Temp button until that line is blank. Also, your year is off, today is 23rd, but not 19th.

Heat Controller. units were built same factory as Climatemaster, actually uses climate master control boards. I thought it was a well made unit, using brand name components. New Parent company is called Mars, their Geo units now labeled Comfort-Aire, or Century. Same units with a new label...

They already go by another name, so yea, no more from them... Not sure what to do, very frustrating to have a "new" unit already fail.

Got ahold of the geothermal manufacturer customer service by email. Told them about my warranty card getting returned last week, on the unit I bought last september. They looked it up and said, Oh that was manufactured in 2010. I sent copy of my purchase from last year. They said they will...

must have been tired from the work saturday, I slept in till after 11. Came back yesterday, saw 99 deg several times on the way. So no work today, still got trailer on truck. Would be a good time to get long trex, but not in this heat. Not quite ready for it. I need to get 4x4s for posts for...

Last springs I ordered weren't exactly the right ones (even though they claimed they were), and a little weak, but better than no springs..

RIP for your friend. enjoy mowing in AC.

Mostly, still lots of good tread on it. Lol

I learned first time hauling trex, tie down good. I put in trailer with sides and back closed. Underestimated wood need for dad’s new ramp. Local places closed at 5 pm, so will finish next trip. Had to hand dig 2 tractor buckets of dirt to get started. Got new outlet installed in bedroom...

Made it to the farm today. Was going to bring the ranger, but it stalled twice getting it out of barn, so parked it. It’s been running rough, but ran good with new gas. But last time I used it it kept stalling again. Brought wood to build a new ramp for dad. Already determined didn’t bring...

Got all the grass mowed, was pleasant breeze blowing, even if it was in upper 80s. skies darkened when I was going to go to town afterwards, big storm hit. temp dropped 20 deg, got .6" rain in 20 minutes. still rumbling around.

Happy (21x4)-1 birthday Ron Was thinking of going to Ohio, but didn’t get up in time, and supposed to storm later.

David, nice helping the neighbor. Drew, glad you got mowing in. Still wet here, and storm coming now. Did get 6 final bolts in the deck headers, so I can officially say, "It ain't going no where" started by putting black weed block down where I had to walk, to not get too muddy. By time I got...

.7” rain overnight, heard 3 different storms, lots thunder. Lost power at 2am, but on when we woke up.
