Cooling right down. Only 89 to day.
I didn't disconnect the copper tube to the swamp box & thought it had froze & busted.
Nope just the float had come loos & would not turn the water off. Kind of fiddly to adjust, took a while but got it done.
Needs a new belt, got one last year that was too short.
Mostly a bunch on ramblings & of course a little whining. :laughing:
Dad & Uncle Dale were on a Jaguar hunt in Mexico. Dale spoke pretty good Spanish, dad not a word. The the Mayor & other elders came out from little village & talked to Dale.
He told dad that when I look at, just nod your head & agree.
That night almost all the village came out, band, food & so on. The fiesta lasted well into the night. As the party ended the mayor came up to dad with his hand out.
Dad ask Dale what he was saying. Dale grinned & said you agreed to pay for the fiesta and he wants to be paid & Dale walked off.
Dad got a speeding ticket in a car that would run. They lived in Paradise AZ. Between there & Bowie were some steep hills. Dale & grand dad would tow the car up hill, then let it coast down the other side. The sheriff was coming the outer way as dad coasted, He turned around & gave dad a speeding ticket.
Uncle Dale often said "I have never told an untruth". That may have been an untruth. :laughing:
I'll get back to whining later.

It may be a while before I talk to this thread.
Today I learned that my grand son was dead.
Don't want sympathy or condolences or need them. Just want to get over the shock.
I feel like the last 23 years of my life has been wasted. Everything I own or have worked for was his.

Thank all of you for your prayers. I can hardly think about much else. Guess I am in morning.
Its his grandmother & mother that really need comforting. More later on the subject.
I Tried to poison Harvey.
At least he thought so.
There is a hack berry tree in the yard that makes little red berry's, that folks think are poison.
Some branches trimmed off the tree were being used for to smoke some ribs.
Harvey says boy that smells good, what are you smoking them with.
When I told him he turned around & left. If you have never tried hack berry, try it, very good flavor.
Several years ago I put in some leach lines above his place. I dug across some old creek beds, they really help drainage.
I told Harvey about the old creek beds & told him, there were going to be turds coming in his yard.
Boy did he read me off for that. Not even realizing that would be impossible.

Damm computer just ate a long message I had typed.
Will try again in a few days.
I hadn't, gotten to the disaster night before last. About 2am went out to cook some tomilies. Lit the little grill. When I lit it, didn't look quite right. Then flames started comeing out the bottom & then the back of the lid, big flames. Set a wast basket on fire, it was about 2 feet away. Beer cans started melting in a bucket about a foot away. Set the railing on fire & some of the uprights.
Luckily there was a hose that I could reach it with, Started to turn off the tank & it went off again. Lot more spraying & I felt safe reaching over to turn it off.
Never again will I have a tank that I can't reach easy.
