86F and mostly cloudy @ 13:30, which has already exceeded the day's predicted high of 85F.

HI 93F, DP 69F, HU 60% AQI 40.

Calling for variable clouds and scattered strong thunderstorms. Chance of rain 40%. A Tornado Watch was just issued.

Line of showers has formed from up around a little north of Toledo down to just north of Mansfield. Should be here in an hour or so. Local weather folks are already on the tube sounding the warnings, Sandusky getting hammered with heavy hail.

Woman came in the house just a bit ago, says it's hot out.

A-yup.

Showers arrived after my last post late last night, looks like we picked up an additional 1.09" for a grand total of 3.72". Lots of thunder and lightning.

Looks like continued grass mowing as far as the eye can see ...

No big plans on agenda for today, think I will content myself with inspecting the garden ... maybe pick a few of those Hungarian Wax Peppers to go along with the squash and sausage and stake up a few tomato plants that are just propped up on sticks.

Hope everyone is having a decent Saturday ...

More thoughts for Randy, RIP

 

[sodamo]

what else can you flavor lobster with?
something dill and creamy?
mild hot sauce?
lot of lemon used but I need something more than lemon
maybe a lemon dill dressing...

A la natural, good enough for me.
And I don’t really need the extra calories LOL

Got cloudy over the past few hours, keeping the temps lower for now, only 76°. Hopefully, a storm will form.... nothing showing on radar nearby yet......

Yes, have thought about Randy quite a few times....he went through a lot during the last few years.

Also Roy Jackson. That was sudden.... hope his family is doing ok.

Well, I guess I didn't get off to piddling fast enough.... the wifey joined me on the porch.... and we discussed an addition onto the house.... we had mentioned it in passing, but could never really figure out where it could go.....

Never even considered this spot, off of the kitchen. Nothing really to interfere with, clear, easy access to build, and accommodates exactly what she was looking for.
Basically an additional bedroom for the MIL....

Now I have something to do.... draw plans, engineer said plans, do a materials takeoff, and come up with a cost.

.......I guess my shop expansion is now on the back burner....

Super Corsair now that is an engine.
Wasp Major. 4360 cubic inches, 3000 horsepower.

That’s 56 spark plugs and you don’t want to know how many gallons of oil.
Variants of it had up to 4300 horsepower.

I looked up most powerful piston airplane engine
this apparently took the prize but they only made two, not exactly a production engine.
The Lycoming XR-7755 was the largest piston aircraft engine ever built in the United States, with 36 cylinders totaling about 7,750 in³ of displacement and a power output of 5,000 horsepower

could be fuel line partially plugged. Check it runs freely at the carb

Fuel line is clear.

Log Splitter Update:


So I did what any reasonable person would do, after opening up the carb and cleaning everything out and having lousy results:

I drained out half the gas, added a cup of Sea Foam, pulled it and let it round for about 30-40 seconds, and let it die. Then I had lunch, worked on a couple other odds and ends, and came back after about two hours and topped off the gas, it fired right up, ran for almost ten minutes and stalled out. Pulled it again and it ran for 45 minutes without a hiccup.

problem resolved, but not diagnosed…
