Will be incommunicado for a week. Have a great week and I hope it cools down for you. I’ll check back in a week from Wed word.

mspart

That’s great RYou. Relax away. We are planning to go camping with grandaughters to Wallowa area in North eastern Oregon. We leave Wed. Will be in the high 90s there but its a dry heat, yeah right!!

It has hit 90s here in Seattle for a few days and will cool down starting Wed word.

That was quick. My wife is over your way. She is visiting cousins on the upper east coast. Was in Boston visiting nieces just before that. I think she is having fun in the warm and humid conditions word.

mspart

Ha ha!! Yeah, they can calm down or go to their room. Sometimes, if they are old enough, they prefer that option. We have a grandaughter that just turned 14 and she prefers being in her room. I don’t get it, but there you go.

Weather was nice yesterday. I cut up some rounds from a fallen tree and some 12-13 year old boys came to learn…[Read more]

That will be a full house for sure. But it is always fun, but nice when it is over. We had two kids over yesterday and BBQd some chicken. That was pretty good word.

Our grass is all green, but it will probably turn brown end of July and Aug. Highs next few days is 82 and then it goes down from there. 60s and 70s for highs the rest of 10 days. No doubt will be overcast on 04 Jul and then will be sunny after that. Beautiful here in the summer. But it comes in fits and starts before it finally sets…[Read more]

I think it made it to 65F yesterday. Later this week it will be in the low 80s here. Then it will go back to the 60s. This is quite seasonal around here. Lousy weather for when school lets out word.

Wiffle Ball! Love that game! That’s great, I had a pretty relaxing day. Maybe I’ll get another balancing kit and try your idea out. It’s just interesting that there was no noticeable change with the weight on one blade in any position word.

mspart

I chucked the old fan. The blades hook up the same but the new ones are longer. It just seems odd that I could get no better result at all no matter where I placed the test clip. It’s good enough I think. It has 5 settings, high, not so high, medium, slow, off. Medium cranks it out with the longer blades word.

mspart

Tried the balancing kit last night. No good. Not one position made it really all that great. Last fan we did it and it worked great. I don’t know what is wrong here. Probably me word.

mspart

Ooooooooh. I see what you are saying. I will look into that. As well as a fan balancing kit word.

mspart

Well, we bought two years ago. Put one in and then the plan for the other fell through. So we kept it. It turns out it is the same stupid one that we had. I put up essentially the very same fan. We thought it was different. So next time, I will get one with a remote so I don’t have to pull strings all the time. It runs from an outlet…[Read more]

Well, our ceiling fan has been on the blitz for quite a long time. Last night it stopped with a horrible noise. So I get to replace that one today or tomorrow. Probably tomorrow since we are going out tonight to celebrate our daughter’s birthday word.

Too bad about the in ground sprinkler. It would be a fun project!!!!!

A grand flagpole. That’s a big tree. We had one go down a few days ago up in the woods, not on our property. If we burned wood, I would be up there harvesting. We stopped burning when embers broke out of the fireplace screen and burned the carpet. Kind of ruined the…[Read more]

I’ve got a new project for you. If your grass is scorched you can put in an in ground sprinkler system. Easy as can be. Just have to do a little digging. I did that in the hard red clay of O’ahu when we lived there. I ended up breaking the trenching machine I rented. Tough dirt. Gonna be drier here for the next 10 days word.

We had a well fed possum on our deck a few days ago. Ugly creature for sure. He was up on the picnic table and couldn’t figure out how to get off. He bumbled his way off, it was fun to watch. The frogs were chirping hard last night as it rained about an inch yesterday. We are expecting flooding and are under flood watch until Wed. We…[Read more]

That’s pretty cool. Animal Kingdom live in RYou’s backyard. Have a great weekend word!!

mspart

That is a pretty cool thing to see. Wow. We have rabbits here but they never get that close word.

Hi RYou,

I am getting better from pneumonia I think. I feel fantastic but feel like there is still something lingering in my lung. But I feel great and am able to have a more normal existence.

I went to the retina specialist last week and she said the retina and optic nerve were damaged. So it probably won’t get better or worse. It…[Read more]

Deja vu all over again word!!
