You have the makings for a very nice shop!

Concerning your dust collection, may I suggest that you place your shop vacuum (or if you decide to upgrade to a dust collector) in with your compressor and control it by remote control using this Rockler Dust Collector Remote Switch and Transmitter Box | Rockler Woodworking and Hardware.

I have a remote on mine and I love it. Cuts way down on the noise while it's running since it will be in another room and the remote is very convenient.

If you aren't familiar with Grizzly https://www.grizzly.com you must get their catalog. I bought my 2 stage dust collector from them (among other things). Cool!

more good ideas. Easy to pipe the exhaust drain outside, but what's coming out is under high pressure so this could make a real mess...well, I don't want it on my shoes anyway so better to get it outside. I have plenty of hose, but when opened I have 120psi bleeding off, not sure garden hose would like that. I have better hose left over from my larger boat days. Basically smaller diameter heater hose. Unless I pull the pop off valve I suppose. But the point is stuff is blasting out that hose so I need it aimed somewhere there is nothing to mess up. Eg, not my lawn mower parked there...

Ok ok
I promise to blow it out often. Like voting, blow it out early and blow it out often. It's a nice compressor and my air tools are mostly new now so would be pretty dumb to rust them out prematurely.

Drew,

Might be the best $9 you'll ever spend - will drain it every time the compressor runs:

Good day to everyone. 70s this morning with a band of heavy storms headed this way. Finished the turkey Taj Mahal, which sits next to Cluckingham Palace. Not sure if we should call that area Fowlerville or COOPerstown.

Went to CCallahan's in Austin and bought 2 Royal Palm and 2 Chocolate chicks. Birds settled in and doing fine.

Got a few hours of mowing in after all tha. Planned to mow more today, but that may not happen with more rain on the way. Perhaps some reading.

RNG,

Looks good :thumbsup:

From what I've heard PPG is good stuff ... so I would think it should hold up well.

68 this morning and headed to 85 today. Over 2 inches of rain yesterday. More headed our way today. Ended up going to harbor freight and Home Depot last night. The Harbor Freight stop was for their 12" sliding miter saw for 139.99. Wife found some new solar lights for the walk. We bought some from lowes 5 years ago and the half that aren't broke at the base are starting to stop working. So she asked about trying these. Then onto Home Depot for fire extinguishers. Insurance company said that in ordered renew this year I had to have fire extinguishers in each poultry barn and the generator shed. So I added one for the shop and house also. Had a small one in the kitchen but this ones more capable. While at HD I showed my wife their 12" sliding miter saws. Running about $599. She was happy I was trying the Harbor Freight one.

Off to finish getting ready for birds today.

Good Morning. 0925, sunny, 78F with 80% humidity. Forecast high of 88F with 50% chance of thunderstorms this afternoon, and a low of 69F tonight. I had to go help the customers with the sound system in the middle of my post. The temp went up 2F and the humidity went down 2% while I was gone. My 10 day forecast calls for 1 thunderstorm, 2 partly cloudy's and 7 chances of thunderstorms. If I get a little on half those days I'll be happy.

I got in from work yesterday with enough daylight left to let me apply Sevin Dust to my garden. The showers skipped us, so it should kill a few bugs before it gets washed off.

I have a black church group at work today. That means I had better go easy on the snacks because dinner will very good. With out any garden cardio it will be hard to stay under my calorie goal today.

Hope everyone has a good day,

Larro
