Good morning!!!!

Need to pour first cup of coffee. 59° with mostly clear skies this morning. Heading to 84° with chance of afternoon thunderstorms. Got .1" of rain with a passing storm dropped it on us. Got my project done yesterday. Need to clean some around and in house and cut grass again. We are getting company for the weekend. Going to park their RV on our RV pad.

Wife and I have been thinking we need to start having someone come in to do house cleaning. I know some here have it done. Any recommendation on cost, how often and other concerns?

Drew, careful on letting older people pick color swatches. Ever wonder why they sell Pink furniture. Cataracts can make Pink look Tan. :confused3:
Along with Leisure Van. Look at Phoenix Cruiser. They make some of the best class B+ RV's. Plus you can get them custom built without slides. Over on the forum that I moderate there is a lot of info on buying a Class C/B+ RV. Here is one thread on the subject.

No luck on the pipe threader.

Good Morning All.

Ron, no time for rv next year, one more year of big garden and that's kind of all consuming added to the rest I
have to do. I am leery of Elkhart Indiana production, looking for higher quality small with good QC.
Good QC and Elkhart in my mind is unlikely from my own experience.
You get flimsy walls, cheap stereos and all fixtures are plastic for weight saving. The shower floor flexes under you...
Looking for small rig with higher spec equipment. It will wind up costing as much as my last big boxy Class A V10 gasser, but
hopefully I'll be getting more quality along with my less quantity.
Don't want to tow a car, want it small enough to get into places, likely 24 feet max.

wrote a letter to local city water dept asking if they might consider capping my water bill over a hundred bucks a month since all the water was going to
grow vegetables for local food pantry. Food pantry is well known locally. No reply.
But....lo and behold, my next water bill was way less than expected for all that water use.
I did the numbers and my rate had dropped from .9 cents to .7 cents per gallon effective July 1.
Well wasn't that nice. Have no idea if everyone's bill was reduced, will need to ask my neighbor.
.7 cents per gallon seems pretty reasonable to me for potable water.
Boy I bet David up on his Hawaiian mountaintop would like water at that rate.
Though he collects his own of course.

LS, out there in the desert, how much does public water cost?

Good Morning! 76˚ heading to 100˚ again.

What a nice assortment of quilts everyone has.

Eric, Those police cars are so cute. I will have to get a pic of a Texas Police vehicle They are big black SUVs around here.
So the security system was like a mouse trap! Good planing there by the security team.

What are type of police vehicles do you have in your community? Can you get cuter than Eric?

Ron my mom might have that thread cutter. I remember my dad cutting threads, I don't think she needs it again, I'll check.

75 degrees this morning going for a high of 92 with a chance of rain. The airport, 10 miles from here, shows to have gotten about.08" of rain around midnight last night. But I was surprised to find about .48" of rain in my gauge this morning; first measurable amount of rain since the 20th of June.

I'm watching an old "My Three Sons" episode. They live in a neighborhood and have an incinerator in the back yard, Bud is burning trash!

It has square sides and a round top and a chute on the side that trash can slide down. It is about 4'-6' tall. Can anyone find a pic?

It was the episode where the rocket explodes after take off on their TV.

Edit: found them, they banned them in 1957.
California Historical Society: History Keepers: Backyard Residential Incinerator

scroll down the one the lady is putting trash in and a police office is writing her a ticket.

Ron, Mom has a cleaning girl come in once every two weeks. She works for 3 hours doing the vacuuming and cleaning bathrooms and dusting. She works for a local company. Cost is $15 an hour. They use all Mom's equipment and cleaning supplies. They really need to come out and you tell them exactly what you want them to do and they figure how long it will take them. One a week or once every two weeks is an option also, if you can do minor cleaning in-between.
