Good Morning Riptides

 

[NHBX]

61° now high’s around 80° and mostly sunny today. Dew point is 57° it’s nice out

Dropped off truck this morning for the annual state inspection and an oil change. Hope it passes inspection the rocker panels are a tad rusty but I don’t think it’s through yet

@Mostly - I took a look at the drought map for the whole country instead of just NH yikes you folks are beyond dry, when you sweat you better save it! Also a Happy birthday and I hope many more to come. (mine’s tomorrow)

May try to give the mower a little exercise today but that’s about it.

Enjoy your day everyone
Stay safe and healthy

Prayers for those in need, our country and peace around the world

We do Drew all green gone from sinks

wonderful
I really don't need soft water, just don't want a bath in dilute copper.
friend has high tech soft water system, feels very strange showering in their home because the soap lathers up so much
more, seems hard to wash it off. Very surprised how much lather is affected by water PH I guess.

I make my coffee every morning with water out of the kitchen squirter.
stomach distress and cramps. Hmmmmmmmmmm.

Happy Birthday NHBX.
I got quite an education at auto body place about older trucks. And not so old.
Was told my Ram was a rotter and I should sell it. One quarter had been done, I did the second, and the
third was talking to us. Loved the truck through.
I wonder if it is still worth it to get a truck undercoated today.
Pretty clear the industry has done a crummy job with rustproofing.
Nothing like a heavy application of NJ road salt on some questionably recycled Japanese steel in older Toyotas.
But GM, Ford and Ram, they all rot.
Unless someone really got them treated early on.

Where are the least damaged cars from if they have to sit outside? Say with a cover on.
Arizona? someplace dry? California?
sure not from around here; everything is suspect
I think staying far away from ocean is good idea. Salt by another name.

I bet Buppies gets his car washed as soon as he gets back from the beach.

73°F and RAIN this morning, going up to only 88° today. More rain heading our way later this morning. We'll take it.

We've been having some regular trouble with our ADT alarm system. It keeps giving an error to "Check Longrange Radio", which is its internal cell phone. It has been replaces three times by three different techs. The last guy suggested we may need to upgrade to a newer control panel. We've only had this one for about six years. The alarm for this error notice gets so obnoxious that we had to disconnect the whole system. Another tech was scheduled to come out yesterday between noon and 4pm. Wife started calling them when he didn't show. Last call was at 7:30, with the intent to just reschedule for Friday. Nope, no times available (this was the original date scheduled). So, she told them he still needed to come. He got there just after 8:30. We got a lot more info out of this guy. He noted that he's been repairing a lot of systems with this same error by adding a better antennae, noting he could just drop ours down inside the wall. It's just not getting a strong enough signal from the towers. He also noted that this started happening right about the time that everyone switched over to 5G. Interesting. He couldn't get anyone at tech support so late last night, so he's going to consult with them today about the best options and get back with us.

Happy Birthday, Mostly_.

Good morning, gents.

I saw that front yard fireworks video I posted on the news last night...on the big screen, it sure looks like during the commotion, the teenager drops a lighter into the box of fireworks behind the van...hope not the case.

Any word on the location and if there were any injuries? Who uploaded the YouTube, the owner or the security company - SimpliSafe.

so I call her Racky.

Nope...not going to bite on that one.

They got drowned along the Louisiana boarder. But up in my area it's crisp and crunchy. We got about 10 drops of rain while out walking the dog the other night. And that's all we've seen in over a month.
