Good morning!!!!

[jbrumberg]

B75- I had a Davis Vantage Pro. I really liked the product. I did not like the attitude of/at Davis "support." I do not carry "attitude" when it comes with products. I'd buy another one. In a perfect world I'd have a perfect site to place it. The best site would require signal transponder(s)

Sorry to hear that I had good luck with them I sent mine in after 8 years for a rebuild cam back like new and the cost was $125 much cheaper than a new unit. most all pieces were replaced except the console which I did not send.

67°F and rain this morning, going up to 71° today. Radar shows it will probably rain here all day. We'll take it. Unfortunately, the bottom is supposed to fall out again tonight, with temps in the 30s tomorrow. Hoping all that rain doesn't freeze up on us.

We spent a week in the Grand Canyon area back in 2011. We stayed in Flagstaff and drove to The Canyon and other sites every day. It was the first week of June, and it was in the upper 20s and lower 30s every morning when we got up. There was still snow at the top of Mount Elden. By afternoon, it would be around 80° at the South Rim. The 50-60° swing in temperatures every day was quite different for us. We also hiked around Sunset Crater Volcano one day, walked through some ancient Hopi ruins, visited Meteor Crater, and yes ... we even took pictures "standin' on the corner in Winslow Arizona." We really enjoyed our visit there.

It’s 4’ longer than the one that burned. I test fitted the tractors. View attachment 540852


Probably won’t go back to using it for anything much more than storage, I’ve got the garage set up for servicing everything and I don’t see the need to move it back.

Nice shed. I built mine without skids, now i want to move it. Keep thinking about putting skids under it somehow.

Jay, thanks for the link to the emergency center(didn't know what else to call it) pretty cool. Bookmarked it for easy access.

A few days ago or last week sometime, I posted about a shooting that occurred here at a local gas station. Well the follow up story tonight on the news: the state police arrested 7 people in connection w/ planning and executing the robbery. The gunman was the last to be caught. The murder of the attendant was for the big sum of $55 dollars.....sick, sick, MF then he had 'incarceritis' when he got caught, claiming injuries during the arrest... Makes me sick!!

Enjoying a Jack Daniels and a good cigar on back porch, watching it rain.

We had a volunteer fire department meeting tonight and drove home in nice showers. We’ve had just over 1” so far this year so, it’s very welcome. Pastures just starting to green up.

I’ve gathered ingredients for an InstaPot batch of Texas Cowboy Stew to make tomorrow.

Prayers given to all.

Good evening all. The high temp was before I got up at 70F (3:45 or so), raining, and windy and .2 inch in rain gauge. Temp really dropped off about 2PM, to a current 35F. Rain, heavy at times, 1.1 inch in rain gauge before lunch, more this afternoon. Got the WBS fired up at 5 PM, this morning was cleaning lady prep, went to POA board mtg recap, minor gutter clean-out during slow rain time, and fired up the new battery maintainer on golf cart.

Randy nice building!

Glad to hear of the health improvements, keep it up guys !
Prayers for all sent.

Winter on it's best behaviour here this morning. No rain, sun is shining and the wind has taken a day's holiday. Perfect for a few hours more hedge laying this afternoon.

In case RNG doesn't get back today, I'll announce it's Hump day. Ed, that's your cue for more camel stories.

Up early. Raining here, we have had a light rain for the last couple of days. The rain, and a frozen drain underneath the driveway at my wife's shop has resulted in a flooded parking area. I rented a 3 in trash pump yesterday to pump out the water, wow that baby can really move water! Going over there to check out water level, then go out for breakfast....

Have a good one, guys!

I watched a couple of hedge laying U tube vids. Lots of work, and some of those guys aren't young!

Edit: Not including any posters here....

Close to 70 today and possible snow tomorrow. Wacky time of year.

Good morning all. No rain here, 80 degrees today and tomorrow, warm until this weekend when it all changes and cooler weather comes back.

I got the sprinklers working in the garden, temporary set up until the water line is put in. Have everything running off a four way manifold so I can start and stop individual sprinklers. With "hose" pressure, only really runs one sprinkler properly but hopefully after the inline pump is installed, I can run four. It says it will run 30 sprinklers at once. ? One line runs drip tape down the unfenced portion, and then it's a long, long haul to the potatoes. Prior owner of farm left about 1000 feet of drip hose in barn. Today I find out if it works or falls apart.

spent two hours yesterday struggling with implements, first I tried to dig a small trench/water ditch with the potato plow, and that was useless, just skipped along on top. Then off came the potato plow and on came the Fred Cain subsoiler. Oh is that thing heavy, what a beast to put on by myself, holding up something that weighs hundreds of pounds, trying to balance it with one's body while trying to get the pins in, wound up tired, full of grease, but got it on. Subsoiler didn't work well on larger Massey, lift arms seemed too long, put the shortest top link on I had and I still couldn't get the angle of entry right. I guess I need an even shorter top link. Another item on my TSC list. But after a fashion it did scratch a trench in the bottom of the field, where the water doesn't drain, and now there is some form of drain. First I have to go down with a shovel and shovel out the "diggings". I've drowned too many trees to know that I can't let water sit anywhere near them.

Otherwise I have blades to sharpen and a list of to do's that never seems to get shorter.

But it's a beautiful day, life is good, and going to make the most of it.

AT&T names first three cities to get its ultra-fast 5G network - Feb. 2, 218

Dallas and Waco Texas come first, most interesting. Hope the faster speeds somehow migrate over to the rest of Texas.
5G is supposed to be a game changer, though one wonders if existing equipment will bog it down. I bet you need a new router...

Are you practicing for the championship?

 

[wngsprd]

60 headed to 79. Too warm for February, but I'll take it. Yesterday's windy 75 started drying the ground, but need more today.

Randy, that building looks roomy. Looks like you need to buy one more piece of equipment for it .

Buppies, are you back to 100% well, yet? Seems we are adding sick and injured faster than healing them.

64 now and might get near 80 today, back to mid 50s tomorrow.
This is my second La Crosse weather station, like Bird I paid $80 for it at Sams. My previous unit was 3x that 20 years ago. Other than barometer which I will order as soon as I remember it, it does all I want it to do. It’s internet connected, as well as stand alone, using the app it was extremely simple to install, much easier than the old one. You add sensors by scanning the bar code with your phone, everything else is done automatically. Those so called self emptying rain gauges are basically just flow meters. My old one actually dumped its self at 1” and started over. I could have bought a $400-$800 unit, but why? I don’t farm, fly, advise planting schedule, I’m not a waterman or professional sailor. I guess over the years I’ve pissed away a few fortunes on classic cars and such and left others wondering why. We all have our albatross.

God bless us all, Lord knows we need it! LOL
