Hopefully Thomas the memory card is still OK and you will be able to post us a photo of the culprit?
Great that you found it.

Climbed to 64° from 63°,
Now near 1.5” rain for today, just a light soaker which we needed.

Thinking about removing the handicap ramp from my garage. Throwing lots of unused boxes away, filled up recycle bin. Moved my extra stash of TP that was on ramp to basement. Finally cleared everything off of it. It was built in 3 sections, then trucked here and put together. If I keep in the 3 sections it still takes up lots of space. I might need it again, so hate to totally disassemble it. The flooring has to come off to unscrew the sections. The last section was only connected at the railing, so it is apart.
Need to store wheelchair someplace also, it takes up lots of space in garage.

Can you raise the wheelchair up to the roof on chains to store it or is your roof not high enough?

It does fold, might move it to basement.

Afternoon all!
Wife and I are doing fine.
Cleaning and getting rid of stuff has been on the agenda for the week. Spent some time working on 3 projects at other people's houses.
Garden is starting to sprout and flowers are coming in. Grabbed some pics:

Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

When I went to work this morning, there had been a 3-5 hour power outage shutting off all the machines as well as any internal or external network connectivity. Since 95% of my work requires network access, wasn't much I could do...very boring.
Although the machines (mostly CNC multi-axis milling machines) were up and running, no network. Real bummer and very boring. I stayed until noon, than came home and connected there. Worked for a bit and an on-line webinar. Turned out, the network problem wasn't in the plant but had resulted from the power outage. Most of the Charlestown area (outside of Claremont, NH) had lost power
Did mow the back yard in two passes at 5" and 4". Yesterday's first mowing was also at 5" (as high as the deck would go), so now it looks like a yard and not a field.
I'll mow the whole lawn again this weekend at 3"-3½". Since rain was in the forecast, I definitely wanted to get that backyard mowed. This should keep our avian friends happy, since I'm sure there were a lot of ticks in that high grass
After mowing, back on the laptop to read and respond to a handful of e-mails.
So far, no rain, but we'll get some tonight sometime, I'll wager

I was gonna save this for tomorrow, but things went pretty well with the tank delivery this morning. Hunter, the young fella driving the delivery truck, was very friendly and willing to give the steep hill a try. He got to the ramp into the pad with a bit of wheel spin, then stopped to look at his options for backing in. When he tried to move forward uphill again, the truck started sliding backwards on the dry grass. All I could think of was the trailer jack knifing and losing the tank. But he put his foot in it and spun the tires down to dirt to get the thing stopped. I brought up the tractor and attached a chain to the hooks on his truck, and got him started in the right direction. He took it from there and slotted the trailer right into position. And the hydraulics on the lift did the rest.

The contractor/neighbor and I spent a couple more hours using his backhoe to get the manway and plumbing fittings properly oriented, picking up the tank with the 'hoe and nudging and turning it. The height was right at the limit of what the 'hoe could reach, so it took a couple of attempts to get the tractor in the right position and rig ratchet straps to all four of the lifting lugs on the top of the tank. I'm not one that enjoys heights, but the last thing I wanted was him falling off a ladder, so I did most of the rigging. I'm probably a good bit lighter than he is, too, and neither one of us had any idea how strong the top of the tank was. In the end we also had to run a strap around the tank, then hook that strap to another on that went to the side-by-side. That gave us enough oomph to rotate the tank into what I hope is the right orientation to attach the pipes.

The view from the tank top is pretty nice, too, and the cell phone signal is much stronger up there, too. Now I'm wondering if I shouldn't also lay a conduit for an Ethernet connection, and maybe an RG6 cable? And the top of that cut really needs a rail or fence, too. That might be tomorrow's number one job.

That is a neat trailer for installing tanks.

71F and "Fair" @ 23:30, heading down to a low of 63F for the overnight.

Inside "chore" successfully completed, rain showers held off ...

Spread another 9 bags (360 lbs) of lime on lower front, finished that just as Woman arrived home, so took break for dinner.

Then around 20:30 after dinner spread 1 bag (40 lbs) of lime spread down here around the house. Also spread 1 bag + another partial bag of gypsum down around house - probably around 55 lbs. Washed out spreader after I finished.

After that I started mowing wood/compost lot - about 21:00 - under the lights. Didn't get that completed but did get it about half done. Will finish it up in the morning, then mow the upper front.

Came inside around 21:30 local.

Woman thinks lawn is starting to green up and is looking good ...

Peonies about done here I believe:

About to grab a shower and hit the rack.

Hope everyone had a great day.

Looks like E. Texas might have sunny dry days through next week. We need to dry out. We’ve been getting about 3 x more rain here than home in Central Texas. High humidity.

Nice delivery and install RNG. What are tank dimensions?

My tanks are 8ft diameter, 12 ft tall, but only 4k gal.

good morning all. 60 degrees going up to mid 70s in clouds, showers later.

Phil, great looking roses! Deer ate all the blooms off one of my newly planted ones, guess the rain washed the deer deterrent off.

Roy, hope you can sleep in this morning.

RNG, nice install. Is that tank fire retardant?
with all the stories on water problems in your area, seems like a very smart idea to have your own tank.

for the last week cicadas have been buzzing constantly, definite background noise, like millions of weedeaters far away.
I guess they keep buzzing until they find a mate, and then they die. With that kind of romance, no wonder they only show up
every 17 years... No second dates here.

hope you all have a nice weekend.

Coffee is done brewing. 62° with with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 85° with slight chance of thunderstorm in evening. Good storm came thru about 7pm yesterday. Lost power for awhile and some tree limbs down. .13" of rain. Neighbors countertop came out good. He is staining and varnishing it. Waiting for Lexan to arrive. Then I will help with that and do trim. Did not get grass mowed. Working in close to 90° said it will wait another day. Back on list for today.
First Hummingbird picture of the year.

Mostly, no pictures yet. Was going to take one. Then realized that tools were all over the place. Decided it would be a good time to pick them. Then forgot to take picture.

RNG, good video of setting tank. I was able to see Utube link on iPad. But not on PC. This is the link I found.

RS, most of my Peonies are done also.

Everyone stay healthy and safe.

Good Morning All.

51° right now, high in the mid-upper 70's.

Chores: Dump run and must stop at the bank (deposit) as well as get fuel for the zero turn. After that, decide to mow the lawn and string trim, or finally get those belts on the flail mower. Weather looks all weekend so what doesn't get done today should get done tomorrow...
