Good morning!!!!

David, first thing I thought of, after the fact that you are already utilizing all that water that falls on your home,
was a great tractor project for you. Dig a pond to catch all that water, create a raceway, and then put in a micro
electric water turbine to charge your existing batteries and generate extra power during heavy rains.
Wouldn't that be a nice thought...when it's pouring cats and dogs, you can yell Honey look at all the money we are making!
That's what it says on the brochure. :rolleyes:

spent a lovely few minutes in the hot tub giving it a wipe down after I had shock treated it.
skin started to itch so time to get out. No bugs on me! Bromine but I still smell like a swimming pool faintly.

Hot tub needed due to raking sticks and hauling all the garden hoses, sprinklers, etc down to barn for
cleaning and storage. About three hours of lugging heavy stuff, at least it was super nice out.

Not doing well with powerwashers. Loaned my electric one to friend after the recent flood.
And the handle pulled off the good gas one, with a Honda 390 engine. So no powerwashing until the new Honda
part comes in. Three price points. 15 bucks, 35 and 70. I took the middle one, figured that was likely the wholesale price for the
identical list price part, which is shown in Northern Tools catalog for 70. So I ordered the 35 dollar handle assembly. I must be catching an edge
of something when I pull, the cord looked new and not all that frayed.

Lovely day outside. All that good Canadian air.

NWS shows that one half to three quarters of an inch of rain is possible today. My gauge just passed the 2" mark and it's still raining.:laughing: And since the ground was already saturated, my yard looks like a swamp.

59° at 2:20, on a sunny day. Been a long time since it was this cool. The 8+ inches of rain from yesterday has soaked in nicely, still a lot in the streams and swamps though.

Happy anniversary Ron and Betty!


Ed, you are right good neighbors are hard to beat. That's why I keep trying to lure CWB down here to buy my neighbors house. :)

Hawkeye, how's your back?

Ted, your knee?

Ron is back on coffee at least, that's a start. Hope your better Ron.

Life's aches and pains...they come with all this stored up wisdom. :) Drew is a glutton for wisdom. :) (hope your aches and pains went down the hot tub drain Drew)...

About to go watch the football game at my FIL's house. The "girls" have gone on a mall trip. I told them, "Don't get mauled."

Went to high school game last night. Our team won, but looked lethargic. Not sure where their spark has gone.

We have a severe weather alert and tornado watch going on in the counties just north of us until 6pm. Then it hits us. I pray the storms calm down a bunch.

Hope all of you have a blessed great day. And extra prayers for those suffering the effects of Hurr. Michael.

Good morning all. Rain helped by strong gusts of wind has done it best to soak our firewood over night. No need to go lighting fires in woodburners though this morning, it was 18C/64F outside at 8am.

I have lots of hedge laying coming up this winter. Enjoyed doing it last year, but my right arm wasn't too impressed with all the pull starts on my Stihl chainsaw and I'm getting too old to do it all by hand tools, so thought I would give battery power a try and maybe apply to join the TBN EGO appreciation society. Sounds at first like a toy, but cut down these alder just the same as my 2 stroke.

I have the same saw...can't beat it for those smaller clearing jobs, limb trimming (annual requirement before mowing season) and such. Since I have other EGO products (string trimmer and leaf blower) I have three batteries but only one charger. I've been pretty impressed with the saw and trimmer...not so impressed with the leaf blower
