Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

I do have temperature sensors attached to outside of my loop pipes, so not real good data. Not many people have the water supply to do open loop, but that constant 55° water is better than closed loop. You can see on the orange on this chart where I turned on aux heat, you can also see the output temp falling right before, as the system was not keeping up.

Wondered why my downstairs unit, the red line was reading so low. Went to the unit and the temp sensor is hanging down near the basement floor, guess I took it out while working and never put it back.

The 4052 has the filler on the left rear fender...about 4.5-5 feet off the ground. Since I don't have the upper body strength on my right side (since the stroke), it's going to be a bit more difficult to fill the tank. I guess I'm going to have to get either some type of pump or siphoning device so I can leave the container on the driveway surface. The previous tractor, a 4520, had the filler just forward of the cab window so I could rest the container on the hood while filling the tank.

Maybe something like this would help until you finally decide.

I have 2 of that very pump. One for gas for the boats at camp and a 2nd for diesel for the tractor at home. I love them. They make the job of refueling simple!

back thermometers in the sun say 38° and 40°, front one in shade says 32°.

Went to a bbq food truck fund raiser for lunch, was cold out waiting for the food. But it was very good. Had a bowl of brisket corn chili, pulled pork sandwich w/ bake beans and potato salad. Ate in the car.
Saw my friend who’s 2 young boys had COVID, he and his wife kept testing negative. They are now clear. His work made him stay home even while testing negative.
Stopped at orchard and got cider and pies. Last weekend they are open for a couple months.

Oldest brother having surgery today to fix a Leak from surgery last week. One of my sisters going down to help him. He lives in southern OH, retired civil engineer.

Winter storm warning starts tonight. NWS has us in 8-12” range.

Hindsight is 20 20. But we aren’t at the full picture yet to look back.

Forgot to ask, how long does it take for pizza dough to rise? Got my Mids pizza sauce, might try homemade pizza tomorrow or Monday.

Nice day. clear and cold. Not much wind.

Pretty calm here too ...

Grocery order placed, will pick up tomorrow.

I drove past the dinner. The parking lot was packed and there was a line out the door. No social distancing that I could see.

Yup - that's the problem: American Idiots on the loose.

I like to affectionately refer to them as the "But My Free-dummies ..."

I wonder if the folks from the senior village across the street have got their shots and are now good to go.

Maybe ... but I'm guessing probably not.

I can't keep up with the state orders but a week ago they were closing restaurants that wouldn't close on their own.

We're down-trending on cases/hospitalizations/deaths here in the Buckeye ... with the promise of more relaxed curfews on restaurants if the numbers stay down. If they lessen further, the curfews get lessened even further. Stepped approach.

My guess is that it isn't going to fly ... but I'd sure be happy to incorrect about that.

The County is supposed to be working on a mass vaccination site that can vaccinate 5000 people a day. I don't know where they are going to get the vaccine.

From the vaccine makers ... but it won't be instantaneous.

Meanwhile the death toll sits at 438,452 souls ... and still climbing.

8F clear sky 10mph wind never reach teens today over night temp well be below zeroooo.

Thought it might be ho hum day but the Mrs. made sure that didn't happen,but was able put deer feeder in place and fill with goodies.
Not much plan for after dinner just recliner try find good movie to watch,later on watch to see how many deer show up.

Enjoy the evening all.

 

[rswyan]

your "no mandate" is same as jail.

Not really.

One has a choice as to whether or not they are in self-isolation or not.

Don't want to self-isolate/quarantine, then get vaccinated.

Pretty simple.

Won't happen.

It may not ... but then again, hard to say exactly how this thing (the virus) will end up evolving.

you need to also go after all the granola moms, and illegals who won't/don't vaccinate their kids....WITH PROVEN VACCINES.

Well, if it gets bad enough ... :confused3:

I will get the vaccine, as soon as offered....and hope for low/no reaction.

Good ... hope you have no/low reaction as well ... :thumbsup:

Already been a minor dustup here with some official saying no way to track if county employees got shot due to privacy etc.

That was info in article announcing that certain employee groups were moved into 1b from 1c.

BEF, why do they, you included call Ohio the 'buckeye' state?

 

[rswyan]

In the city thousands of people are walking around, how would you know who has the vaccine and who does not and should be staying at home.

Scannable, implantable bio-chip ... :laughing:

Seriously though, part of the program for obtaining vaccination compliance would be to make the penalties for non-compliance so bad that normal, sane folks wouldn't even consider not complying.

History, not politics.

Can the Government Make Vaccines Mandatory? - HISTORY

It's both actually - since anytime you are talking about the governmental policy/rules/actions it is - by it's very definition - politics and political.

Of course the HIPPA laws would have to be suspended. We did not have them back in 1905.

There's a lot of things we didn't have back then that we have now.

Lack of will to beat this thing, not least among them.

If you google "can you test positive for covid after you have had the vaccine?" you will not get a consensus on what is the correct answer.

Consensus is not necessarily unanimity.

The correct answer may to some degree depend on what testing is being used.

Edited out experimental because the testing usually ends 2 months after phase 3 testing but were granted an emergency exemption. Still would be an interesting case before the Supreme Court today.

Yup.

Are you using yeast or baking powder?

Either an hour (yeast and warmth) or while you are baking it (baking powder).

Will use yeast, I never made pizza dough, but wife said she had a recipe.

 

[Fuddy1952]

It's hard to find now but my wife for years uses Pillsbury hot roll mix and Poly-O mozzarella cheese pizza, toppings a variety of pepperoni, olives, homemade tomato sauce, etc.
It's like a pizza pie...very thick, very good.

 

[toppop52]

I fully believe we have the right to refuse vaccination constitutionally, however enough public pressure, plus the more people that get vaccinated with no or minor problems, more will come on board. Not everyone will, but we don’t need 100% compliance as nice as that would be, and you can’t legislate common sense.

We now consider the 50-70 thousand yearly deaths from flu acceptable, will there be a number of COVID deaths that become normal, like pneumonia and heart disease?

Anybody need an old oil burner, it’s still taking up space in my basement.

I’m with you. I hate oil furnaces and boilers. Gas or heat pump for me. Air to air heat pumps are getting a lot more efficient, especially the mini splits, with SEER’s in the high 20’s.
I couldn’t make sense out of your graph, it was to truncated in the screenshot, but looked like it would be interesting.
