Pellet heads!! What's up today?

Same here. Normally it is just filled every morning and don't have to worry. But I want it to be empty so I can spray the hopper so I have been running only about one bag at a time. This time it failed.

 

Same at my house...Don't know whether the wife had the stove off all day, on all day on 1 or 5, you never can tell!!

 

Had a smoothie last night, that mead went down nice and easy. No kickback, tonight I might try an Imperial Stout as the last one was easy on the piping.

Weather couldn't make up its mind yesterday. We had rain, sleet, hail, and other crud. We also had a floor show next door yesterday after the boss got back from teaching her class, the newest baby arrived and got introduced to his new family. Nothing like getting the horse noses outta joint. Next door rescued a Tennessee Walker from death row and he got introduced to the herd. Hopefully when Mommy and Daddy take their horses out for a ride their daughter's horse won't throw a hissy fit because she is all alone in the pasture. Daughter is away to college and every time her horse was alone it had issues last fall.

 

Well BOA is pushing them chip cards and my current card will no longer work after 5/2. Oh well new card activated and various wallets updated. PITA and waste of plastic.

 

Yes it is. Even having a new external faucet replaced. I'm getting easy turn access valves. Not those that go bad in a few years.

 

Well, latest update on the crashed iMac. I had the day off, so I took it to a local Apple Cert. repair shop. Young guy (couldn't have been more than 25) helped me out, and we recovered all the data I needed from the unit to my Seagate 1TB external drive.

It seems the video board IS shot and there is some system software damage, but the hard drive is fine. He connected it to his laptop, and he was able to get my drive to show up on his desktop......... I was able to "drag n drop" all of my desktop and other files direct to the Seagate.....couldn't have taken more than 15 minutes.

To say I'm relieved is a BIG understatement. And to boot, he wasn't going to charge me anything!! Needless to say, I gave him a NICE tip. Also bought an external drive enclosure, so over the weekend I'll be opening the old iMac & removing the hard drive and make it a "extra" external drive.

Now, time for some Corona Light w/ lime and sit down to watch the Rangers kick some Pittsburgh Birds a**!

 

Hey!

 

Had the Calligan Man here. His water test showed a ph of 5.8. So looks like water treatment is in order. No wonder my pipes have been springing leaks. So a treat. nt system is being put in along with having the pipes replaced. $$$$$ at every turn.
Bought our new appliances today. Finally getting my gas stove. . Wife getting her fancy refrigerator.
still picking out flooring. I like the wood looking tiles. Putting down tiles throughout. Everything seems so upside down for now, but i know it will get better. I am happy to see my gardens got raked out so my plants will have a chance.

 

Hang in there Larry. You're right... it'll be super when it's all finished...

 

Grilled a couple of Bison steaks yesterday. Wasn't really expecting much since it is such a lean meat. Let me tell you they were delicious and tender. Not at all like I was expecting.

 

Well, got the old iMac opened up, and extracted the Hard Drive. Mounted it in the new case, plugged 'er in, and voila, works great. So now I effectively have 1.5TB of storage, and ability to back-up my main drive in 2 places. Hopefully, this will be the last computer issues for me for a long time.

 

Nice out now. Good day for moving pellets......pics to follow.

 

Here is before and after:
