Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 7.7C and it's presently 18.7C, clouding over with rain predicted this arvo. Fairly calm.

Successful 'into town' trip yesterday and the split wood had dried enough that I was 'good to go' for more stacking.

What with the expected rain and an early arvo dental appointment, I'll give the wood-stacking a miss for the day. I've also got a dinner/meeting tonight (1730-2130).

That's about it, take care all.

My solar installer came and went, brought his #1 guy. Actually they installed the system 4 years ago. They were able to dig deeper into msgs etc than I have knowledge. Basically didn’t find any problem with the system other than changing a couple of settings. They have the advantage of more current info from the manufacturers as well as wider hands on. Only error logged was ac in short that took the system down to protect self. But being an intermittent short it could be a challenge to find if and when it happens again. They suspected battery lag may have been suspect with prior settings. I turned on all my big drawn items, pool pumps, water pump, hot tub, microwave, air fryer, in addition to normal loads and the new settings held.

Sadly, I may have wasted a few gallons propane as early this morning I did shut off the generator and system performed normally. Count it as a wash, as Doug said no charge for this service call.

As there were no physical issues we didn’t fuss with reconfiguration. Now I will be mindful of any short circuit potential as I wander around.

I’m pleased.

Sorry to be MIA but Mrs Gas went to be with Jesus Sunday evening.
Mostly, I want to extend my sincerest condolences and prayers. We are here to listen and try to offer words of comfort. This news hit me hard.

My buddy that moved here from South Africa lost his brother, at 54 years young. The brother's company is trying to handle everything over in Europe. My buddy is thankful that he doesn't have to go over there right away. Their plan is to have a small family service in SA when things are situated.

Prayers for Bruce and family, Buppies, Drew, LS and those in silent need. Our country, Ukraine, and Israel.

Evening everyone! Temps have been above average all week, hanging around the mid 60's. Maybe a chance for some sprinkles on Saturday.

I've been cutting, milling, planing, and staining some nice grained ponderosa pine. The first half of the batch is ready to go, so tomorrow I will install the window extension jambs and a doorway jamb. Maybe by afternoon I'll get to milling the window trim and baseboard.

Drew, sorry about all the rain and wind. Hope the RV guy shows up for the repair.

Bruce, hope you're doing ok. Don't hesitate to reach out if need be. Take care.

LFN, hope you get those pesky flies! The wifey has been chasing one here all day..... I thought 'fly day' was last month. Apparently, someone forgot to tell them.....

Good morning !

Condolences Mostly.

Nice to see and read your extended posts. ;)(y)


~~~~~~~~~

First things first. Winter is here. But as I am living near seaside, here T is still few degrees C above freezing. Apart from sea it is freezing already. But at least clear sky, sun is shining

For business things are going forward. A bit slowly, but in the right direction

With a little struggle have installed internet AP at new office. At the end went for mobile, 5G solution. Works very well, even at busy hours.

That's about it, take care all.

Coffee is brewing. 28° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 62° with plenty of sun. Got out side windows washed. Will do inside windows today. Rearranged mud room to get things out of the way when I need items out of the 2 closets. Planted 3 shrubs that have been in pots for months. Grocery shopping this morning. Then get at windows. Need to do some leaf blowing. Been putting it off waiting for the one tree with leaves on to drop them all.
Yesterdays sunrise.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

good morning all
what a night, just howling out there, winds today 25-35mph as system works its way North. Tomorrow should be lovely here and things we were going to do today we put off til tomorrow.

So....today I sit in the rv waiting for repair guy, and yes, I hope it's a quick fix. 100 dollar service call and 175 an hour. This isn't Kansas...

later today something will occur I'm having some concerns over only because I haven't seen my ex step son in 30 years. His mother's home burned down in Lahaina, and I tracked him down. My divorce to his mom and my leaving those three kids (not mine) was one of my life's true failings. The kids were wonderful, Mom turned out to have severe psychological problems that were way beyond my ability to deal with.
And her kids knew it, they never ever gave me a hard time, talked back to me, and always appreciated what I did. Leaving them was hard.
and despite my trying, communication shut down.

Mostly, just know there are a lot of guys sending you their best.
And any of us who have been through it sure understand.

all we can do is make each day as good as we can.
and as I've said here a few times.....
give your wife a big hug today.

Good morning, the low is 27 and the high to 45°F. Zero wind. Mainly sunny.

Today is dump/town day, I cannot medicate my knee until after we go to the dump. I will get some more rubbing alcohol while I am there. The water, rubbing alcohol and Dawn dish soap concoction works great! Now we kill them on sight, rather than waiting for them to P me off. The squirter bottle I have will squirt 3', straight stream or fog, it doesn't matter.

That is 'it' for today, have a safe day all
