Good morning!!!!

[RedNeckGeek]

Good Morning!!!! 51F @ 8:30AM Cloudy skies early, followed by partial clearing. High 67F. Winds SSW at 10 to 20 mph.
Looks like rain, and if so, I'll head north again on Sunday to get a jump on the week.

Maybe your daughter's new boss would reimburse her for a generator rental for a couple weeks, Mike. Wouldn't hurt to ask since it's his responsibility to provide reasonable shelter for his employees.

Yesterday's SpaceX launch went off at the beginning of the window, and I caught a live stream as soon as I heard it. Interesting how the booster steers its way back using some fins at the top, then decelerates with a blast at the very end. Didn't hear the sonic boom until after it had landed, which was another surprise.

Monkeyed with the little spot welder again yesterday, and came to the conclusion there's just not enough battery behind it. Next week I'll give it a try with a car battery up north.

Got tired of not being able to see what I was doing, so I rigged up four @ 4' LED light fixtures over the workbench and bike lift yesterday. Real quick and dirty, just poked a couple dry wall screws into the rafters to hold 'em up then plugged the first one into an existing outlet box. Then daisy chained the other three to the first one, took maybe all of half an hour. Should have done it months ago...

Got the DR mower back out and gave it a pressure wash. Looks almost brand new now. Having trouble finding out what it's worth, though, as I'm not finding many ads offering them for sale. I bought it in 2010, so it's at least that old. Are the new ones better than the vintage one I have here?

Snuck in a dip in the hot tub at the end of the day. The jets in that thing can really dish out a pounding if you're not careful where you sit...

Back on the zebra bike this morning to try to figure out why it's not charging. I have a new alternator rotor for it, but I want to test each component in the system to make sure I'm not missing anything.

TGIF gang!

Had a foot of fresh snow on the ground here this past weekend. Yesterday afternoon it was 75 degrees! I took advantage of the warm weather to fire up the John Deere and renew my fire breaks; all the moisture this year is really greening up the desert!

60deg
got 4 places froze this morning. 2 on face one on side of nose, one on arm. The place I was concerned about, they said it was nothing.
Then went to breakfast with the usual gang, 1 day earlier than usual.
stopped by church building do some cleaning.
Got .33" rain, now windy.
Pellet stove still not working, but won't dig into that today but did mess with it some more last night.
Have not checked in with Dad yet to see how he is doing.
Son has not tried driving yet. maybe he will try a short trip this weekend. Most injuries to the left leg, and not the right, but it hurts him to bend the knee. I don't know if it's just muscle sore, or something else. It got banged up good.

66°F and .13 inches rain. A rainy morning to start.

Guys won H&F. Looking back it was pretty even with the guys winning just 1 night more than the gals.

Need to go into town today. Diesel refill, brewery refill, some other errands.

Had a disheartening email from LS dealer. I had noticed a new tractor sitting at dealership so suggested that as they couldn’t find problem with mine maybe a trade. Turns out to be an MT235HE with loader. OK, a step down, but maybe so asked price. Quote was over $46k, no trade. . That’s almost 20k more than my XR4140. Guess I shouldn’t have been so surprised as this is same dealer that quoted more for MT125 than Sophie’s BX2380. Sure hope they find my problem

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Have a good afternoon !!

Pindar -My ex girlfriend was in the owners class many years ago and when we showed up he gave us a private tour. He taught at Stonybrook college at the time, really nice guy.
Him and the Hargraves started the wine industry there. My coworker grew up with the Hargraves, was a shame to see them leave the wine business.
I used to go to Pindar every year, for first bud.
