Theoretically it should work. Line clear and connected. Aux Pump filter clear, pump works, float switch works manually. I would need to drain the tank to test if the auxiliary fuel supply works. Fingers crossed it does. Connected to my 500g main supply. Would be nice not to have to fill by cans anymore, but in its new location I can reach with the pump nozzle as well.
Taking a break before next tadk

It would be great to see you on one of the judge shows, you could win I'm sure and it would be a lot more interesting than the endless dog or rent cases. Just don't get on the one where jerry is judge - can't stand a fake.

Am I the only one in Texas that thinks the call on first base last night was wrong? I am pulling for the Astros but he was right in the middle of the base when he crossed it. Am I missing something?
Trea Turner first base call - YouTube

I didn’t see the game, but based on my 16 years of coaching softball, I would call him out for running inside the base path.

Since I'm still torn between wanting the Astros or the Nats to win,

and since I don't want the baseball season to end...

how about a tie after 9 innings,

and then about 8,208 extra innings.

That should take us to 2/21/2020 when the Spring Training season games begin.

I don't think they have that much spit.

Astros up by 1, yeah.

He ran the same line as 100% of right handed batters. He stepped on the bag in the middle, like every other runner does. I don’t see how he could do it any different. It only became an issue because the throw to first was so far off towards home and the first baseman didn’t reach like he should have.

His left foot was on the grass each step.

His left foot was inside the line, you must run in the box or outside the line. If one foot is out, you are out. Just like football, if your toe is out of bounds, you are out of bounds. Bad throw becomes irrelevant if you’re out of the base path. Its a technicality, but it’s the rule.

Right, not in the marked path.

I got the BH off and the BB on in preparation for the snow coming tomorrow night.

I also got the wheel tracks in the driveway graded level again.

My usual monthly trip to North Bay tomorrow. I should be back before the snow starts flying.

Every RH batter tonight has ran the same way. No runner runs totally in the box, especially RH.

Might be the technical rule, but only enforcing it due to the first baseman reaching in front of him, in a World Series game, is poor umpiring.
I was an umpire once.

And it’s not like football out of bounds. You can step in or on the line without being out.

Good evening all. 42F for the start, temp drifted down to 39F before going up, 2 inch rain in bucket. Overcast sky all day with periods of drixxle, wind near calm in morning going 17-25 right now, high temp for day is 45F. Men's meeting to start the day, then aired up tires on explorer, they wer down to 27-28 psi. Need to put air in the front tires on the pickup. Made first fire of season, thought I might get cal to go to get bike but no call

. Did get nap in.
Roy unplanned shut downs were extremely rare, and with the older equipment we had, problems were mainly hardware related. Rezero machine, search to correct place in program double check part still in fixture correct, and away you go

Machines had mostly Fanuc 7m, 6m controls no too fancy to get you in trouble.
Ron, nice pic, great story on painter skill.
Don good luck with fridge.
Drew nice update, hope you get intermittent nav worked out.
RNG, and here you thought the mechanic was gone.
PJ, glad you are getting some sleep, hard to heal without it!!
Randy it is hard to plan a very uncertain future.
Drew very nice of you to pick up their tab!
David nice progress, so the main generator will be much easier to fuel as well the the propane genny.
L4N hope you beat the snow.
Prayers for all.

Got my rule book out.

Can be called out if Runner attempting to profit by running too far from the baseline, or outside the 3 ft line while advancing to 1st. (Avoiding a tag)

Fielder must not be in baseline unless reasonable chance for him to receive thrown ball. Benefit of doubt is given to the runner.

Don’t see anything about running inside the line

You can’t physically touch first base without stepping inside the line.

Seems to me the first baseman interfered by reaching across the line.

Found another one, a runner hit by a thrown ball while running on the baseline is not out.

But in the end, the call didn’t matter.

Congrats Nationals. Can’t believe they won.

Oh, Canada.... The Montreal Expos move to Washington, and Presto - 54 years later they win the world series!:cool2:

Roy, sounds like a lot of work for you today to ensure everything is back up to full spec. I'm intrigued what sort of chips you cook up. Those better at puzzles than me should be able to make a guess, 50 miles from Bethel and with a training connection in Hartford - unless that was a red herring (oh, fish and chips )

Actually, titanium chips...we're a machine shop making fan blades for jet engines...
