Gee BEF, not a good oops.

Gee BEF, not a good oops.

Picture was with the pressure on it. It will flex back. Can probably drop an angle iron from a truss and use a longer bolt thru one of the track joins to hold it.

72°F and .06 inches rain.
No trip to town this morning for errands and we slipped in last night to get needed items at HD to proceed with generator install. So my focus will be out in the tractorshed today.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Temps are warmer than the forecast a month ago.. we had 20-40mph winds with some rain last night... my back was hurting so I got up and sat in easy chair with ice pack, back calmed down but I was awake so watched some netflix. Went to bed about 2:30am, sleep good until alarm at 6:40am, had a few meetings I had to do, including presenting to about 15 folks on my last call.

I had a scare this morning when my internet went down at 8:45 and was down about 45 minutes.. cycling the power on the POE for the ISP's radio seemed to get it going. They need to upgrade the access point I connect to, they have over provisioned and it shows at times. New equipment in the next couple months will solve that.

Happy birthday to several folks that got older, I refuse to grow up, but I did grow out. My bubble is in the middle for sure.

Stay safe, prayers for those in need.

decided I hate the combo convection unit in the rv, went to read the directions, again, and they must have fallen behind drawer, into a void I can't see or get to.
Lovely. 7 things I'm trying to heat up for dinner, not good planning, have them all hot at once, heated sequentially in a device I can't understand. At least the new machine smoke burned off, had the fan on just in case and it was needed. Thankfully the couple coming for dinner are easy, he used to be a chef, in fact I met him when he catered a big party for us in PA. Perhaps we should just drink a lot....

Microwave/convection oven are a love hate thing. My wife was one of those that loved it. Had me buy one for the house. If you have internet access. You mays be able to find a copy of the manual with a Google search.

Sometimes the GDO works, but now it goes about a ft and abruptly stops.

So got out extension ladder and started putting up chain opener hoist for the 10ft door. Hoist hits a 2x6 nailed along the 6x6 pole. Poor design in my opinion. Standard offset for clopay door. I already cut a 1” rod to extend the pipe length, if I had known I could have cut it a half “ longer and made it work. I can cut another rod, or trim the 2x6 10 ft in the air.

Got too tired, had to stop.

Ellen closed one of our doors on a 4 ‘ tall box and warped so badly I’m going to have to replace the panel or the whole door. I’m not strong enough yet to do it, guess I’ll get estimates.

I assured her it was no big deal, she works way too hard and takes too good of care of me, for me to fuss about that.

Your GDO obviously should not warp like that. Do you have the door's springs adjusted so that it doesn't take much force to lift? I'm back to worrying again.

Randy, sorry about all of Ellen's families medical issues. Prayers


Don, I'm worried about whipper. Since she has been bitten by snakes in the past..... but still goes for the slinging kill, ignoring the pain, I don't believe them shocking her, or the snake biting her is going to deter her from killing the snake....hopefully I'm wrong. Her desire to protect you (or herself) will override any natural fear.

Drew, happy camping/learning experience.

Yanks won. Back to Houston. No day off I believe.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

.

That warp was because I had latched the lock. Spring does need to be a little tighter.

Ron, thank you, that's exactly what I did. still was wonky and non intuitive but dinner was good.
my leftover for tomorrow along with some collards. Sent the rest home with dinner guests and threw out
the hushpuppies. Just too many calories

felt like it took me forever to clean up that mess in one little sink, had to dry as I went. All done now, coffee pot set out ready to flip the switch
and I'm ready to flip mine.

Good evening all. 52F this morning, clear, calm. Wind continue to build al day, sky stayed mostly clear and high temp was 75F. Decided to start with putting done some pre-emergent as temps were better later for biking. Watering just took a long time, irrigation system only covers 1/3 the treated area. did not get finished with watering until 3, time for nap so no bike ride. Wife and I have started a Amazon series called Jack Ryan based on Tom Clancy's character, first 2 episodes fairly interesting.
David, sorry to hear about Tundra.
Randy sorry about Ellen's family's medical issues, that is a lot to deal with.
Phil man I am glad I don't have that kind of schedule!
PJ, have fun with your old friends and band members. I never noticed too may people leaving the game unless team was playing poorly that night, I tended to leave early if using Metrolink that night.
Don, good luck with snake class tomorrow.
Buckeye, that has to be frustrating on the GDO, so close and yet so far
prayers for all.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

My son likes jack ryan series.

 

[sodamo]

We like the Jack Ryan series, awaiting new season.

Skies are clearing after another very wet night. From the window I can see a few ewes starting to rise, a coupled of them are walking over to investigate the hay rack. Time I went over and checked on the rest.

Drew, very brave of you to cook for a chef on your first RV trip. Glad it went well.

Don, will you have to change Whipper's name if snake class is successful ? :laughing:

 

[Buppies]

Prayers for all in need

You guys have a good day. Prayers.

cold morning in Hatfield Pa, 33 going up to 61 today
Electric heaters managed to keep up with cold overnight
enjoying cup of coffee, then shower and wait for friend to come over later bringing me a loaner car.
Then off to lunch with other friends to Zoto's diner, a local diner with good service and ok food.

I sure was relieved to see a picture my neighbor sent me of my rv surge protector
hanging from the house wall outlet like nothing had happened, no damage, got very lucky.

Hope you all have a good weekend. Looks like lots of rain on East Coast, coming in here tomorrow.
