Good morning!!!!

The above ground temp pipeline is probably for water, but they don't explicitly say so. I'm trying to limit the time it's there, as in the county, there are above ground water lines that have been laying for years and years. I missed the lawyers had put in a year limit. I want wording like, if it's still there, pay $x amount every year thereafter, with an escalation. Lawyers thought the year limit was enough.
I'm trying to look out for future use as a farm. can't build on ROW, fences have to be done in certain way. I'm trying to get them to replace fences, even though there are currently no cattle on the farm.

this pic is what the last oil well guys did to our gravel farm lane. Trying not to get a repeat of this.

pipelines are a must
we have big Texas Eastern LNG pipelines going through this area just North of
town over to NJ.
anyone who has lost land to eminent domain isn't likely to be happy, and hopefully they
get properly compensated

This pipeline isn't transporting finished product like that. A texas Eastern natural gas pipeline goes thru our county. Dad worked on it in the 1940's.

This is gathering from well pads, to go to processing plants somewhere. Just don't know why they want 3 lines. The above ground is most likely water for fracking. Probably one of the line is to transport frack water back to an injection well somewhere, one for crude coming out, maybe 3rd for gas products coming out.
There have been so many pipelines put in in the county the last 10 yrs, you would think there is no place to put any more.
Few years back the Rover pipeline went thru the county, it was an eminent domain line, that comes out of canada and goes south towards VA somewhere. That was a big line.

Currently we are limiting them to max 20" diameter pipes.

Good Morning! 47˚F, heading to 60˚, N wind, partly cloudy,

Just getting all outside work done preparing for the very low temps next week with a 20% chance of snow/ice on the ground. Some days next week it will be in the low 20s and not get above freezing.

Don it appears they have the salt trucks ready to go when needed..

 

[daugen]

marvelous salt truck picture, wouldn't that be funny to see.
of course they might have to breathalyze the driver...

Dennis that was some serious muck. Did they dump a lot of gravel on it afterwards?
hope they didn't drive off and leave that.

Good Morning!!!! 45F @ 7:43AM. Sunny. High 68F. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph.

A few days Xfinity (Comcast) announced it would be upgrading equpment in the neighborhood and there would be no internet connection. Sure enough, I'm using the hotspot on the iPhone to access the internet today.

Meanwhile up north, the grid is down at the old house and everything's running off the battery pack and solar. No reason yet given for the outage.

Got my MRI today for my lower spine. ...Hope the doc can figure out why my legs get so painful when I stand too long or try to walk more than 1/4 mile at a time.

Got my MRI results back last week for similar issues. I have "narrowing" in my lower back. This from one of the ditzes that works in the office, if I want more details I need to schedule a time with the PCP. Probably means that one or more discs are collapsing and pinching nerves that run between the spine and the muscles they control. My doctor is referring me to a pain specialist, but that hasn't come through yet.

Sounds like a nice truck, Drew. Flushing an automatic transmission at that mileage can cause more trouble than it fixes. The flushing stirs up deposits that end up in valves and narrow passages, resulting in shifting problems. And removing all of the contamination could reduce the friction in the clutches and cause slipping. Better to just change fluid and filter. Maybe want to drive it a while to make sure there aren't any problems before pouring money into it for new tires and deferred maintenance items, especially if you end up giving it back to the dealer if they won't fix what's wrong.

Been fighting paper feed problems on a Canon all-in-one printer for the past few weeks and yesterday finally gave up and ordered a new one. The old one lasted eleven years, and the new one is supposed to use the same cartridges. Bought the extended 4 year warranty, too. One and two star ratings are running between 15-20% regardless of brand, but at $80, it's clearly a throw away if it breaks.

Tracked down a problem with the video rear view mirror wiring in the van, and needed to order a set of depinning tools to get the wires out of a connector. Will need to track down a new source of switched DC, as the one I was using gets interrupted when the headlights go to high beam.

My buddy is complaining of drowseyness and lethargy after the surgery and hospital stay, and I'm afraid it has something to do with the heart rate and blood pressure meds. They don't have a PCP yet, but do have a cardiologist referral, so hope they can find drugs that don't slow 'em down.

Happy Hump Day, folks!

65°F and .09 inches rain. A bit on chilly side last night.

Solar lights and Eufy cam (s230) came in. Getting those installed will pretty near complete the gate project.

Took the boys to PO yesterday and pleased to say they negotiated the ramp with little hesitation. Definitely easier on me and less stressful on them not jumping down.

Didn’t get generator transfer switch installed as I wanted to have enough time and not be stuck in a non functional mode, especially these days when I don’t get 100% charge, which I haven’t for several days.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Make sure you put it in the initial contract, that is where you have the upper hand.

Good Afternoon Bill,

scott, me and ella don't like salmon.

Back from the dump/quack/town run. Quack was running 45 minutes late. She said there were a bunch of people that came late. I still maintain that if you have an appointment that the quack should adhere to the appointment schedule and the late comers can wait until there is an opening.
My own quack that I had since 1965 showed up late by a good hour one day and I called her on it. Told her that mark my words, I WILL make an appointment but I will show up an hour late and see how she likes it. I didn't, but she was never late for an appointment with me again.

Love the mobile salt shaker.

We've got a Trans Canada pipeline running about 1/2 mile north of me. Don't know where it goes or what it moves, I only know it is there.

 

[Looking4new]

PopG, that bio stuff just cost me $92.oo. But it is cheaper than 10 grand so all is good.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

fired off email to the lawyer that we are sticking with our price. Told them we prefer the pipeline goes around us. It's amazing the gall of these people and what they say and do.
Dad still hasn't received a dime for them drilling wells under our farm.... But that's another court case.
29 deg and sunny out. my whole day wasted on this stuff again. Pellet stove ran out of pellets earlier and shut off. It fired up this time without help from the torch.

Is the oil well lease under a contract? Does it say when he will get paid?

Been a long drawn out case, settled out of court, but still no payment. Might have to go back to court.

GS had surgery yesterday to reinforce the ankle fracture with some hardware on the Fibula. Hopefully it will heal normally

Finger cross and speedy recovery for your grandson.

 

[newbury]

Doesn't tire size produce different speedo readings?

Yes. You are supposed to change a setting if you change tire circumference.
I met a guy in California ~ 1972. Nice big Camaro, big tires. Told me whenever he got stopped for speeding he would tell the cop "Sorry, just put these tires on" and they would let him go.
It also prolongs your warranty.
I put tires a size up on my VW Jetta, the distance measured from my house in Mississippi to my house in Virginia dropped by ~ 8%

 

[Buppies]

Long day not much done again I’m getting old. 26 presently low in teens 41 tomorrow next week high in teens low zero the old days return. This cold weather is changing the average temperatures for the last 10 years back to late 90s early 2000s. Fascinating stuff sometimes man kind does not know as much as he thinks.

Hope grandson heals quickly M7040 your friend gets BP under control RNG. Power bill last month $293 yuk.

Prayers for all Kyle’s mom all others silent or spoken our Country

My ram truck has 285 vs 265 tires Cooper A/T 3 tires get about 58000 miles out of 20 in wheels just hate price

D called to update us on her activities. She went to a farewell party and was jumped by her former department looking for help. Seems like the "good old boy" taking her place she applied for is in trouble and in over his head. As acting manager she had left a him a detailed road map of what to do.

We don't really have a word to translate the German expression " Schadenfreude" meaning something like "joy derived from learning about his troubles" I think it may be used now in the English language. Maybe Drew can help to verify that

 

[Tinhack]

In the old days, you had to change the speedo gear in the transmission.

I've run Coopers since the 80's. Great tires. But, I put a set on my Duromax (20's) and they didn't handle pulling the camper well at all. The factory Goodyears did better. The Ram has Yokohama's (18's) and they are pretty stable pulling the same camper.
