70F ... with an absolute torrential downpour @ 18:45.

Dangerous Thunderstorm Alert and Flash Flood Warnings have been issued ... :oops:

Probably about a drop of 15F ... along with 2.32" of rain reported by the closest LWS ... in maybe 10 - 15 minutes.

And still raining but much lighter.

Got some more compost screening done earlier, chased inside once ... but that storm ended up going south.

Hope Rich is doing alright ... severe thunderstorms down around his area earlier.

100˚ at the coolest spot in the back yard heat Index 110˚F. Trying to send it some where. My neighbor just got back from winter down under, I bet this is a shock to her.
I would make that bet!
Don't get any ideas with the heat coming this way, send it to Louisiana.....

We did peg the thermometer at 99° if it makes you feel any better......

Daughter made it here. No overheating on the way down. As soon as she turned it off.... boiling over from the reservoir.

Now that it has been driven 250 miles, I'm going to recheck the oil for milkyness.
I am leaning towards cracked head.....

More research and testing needed.

I'm leaning towards a plugged rad. 240 K miles, it could probably use a new rad.

My '01 Wrangler had the same engine and it got the rad replaced in 2013. My mechanic said that you can only expect a Jeep rad to last about 10 years. The fact that I got 12 out of mine was because it didn't go too far in summer. (Parked from May to October)

Compression test should tell you if the head is cracked, if you do the test with it warmed up.

Need to tap the GM brain trust.

Along with my hydroponics I will be redoing what i call my gutter garden
IMG_0082.JPG


Started these as a summer project with granddaughter years ago. Have had good luck growing a number of things, radishes, green onions, basil, parsley, etc. my big failing is eventually my watering falls off and everything dies. My bad, I know. What I’d like to do this time is add some sort of irrigation system, maybe something I can run from a timer now that I have electricity. Assuming some sort of mini drip system or soaker, but I haven’t a clue. I see some listings on Amazon.

What you see is ready to plant, fresh, amended soil. Plan is about 9 different veggies, 3 to a section, to supplement the hydroponics. I start with direct sown, but switch to starters as we progress. Another learning experience.

Any suggestions appreciated.

good morning all
up too early, sniffling, hope I didn't catch something
.16 on rain gauge this morning, more rain to follow today but rain seems to be patchy

David, that looks like a nice project and will reward you with veggies
it seems to be your fate that you will always be mowing between the rain drops.

slow day planned
hope everyone's Sunday is nice
