Pellet heads!! What's up today?

Oh man!!! One can only hope!!!! My ticker might get screwed up again!

 

I'm envisioning this... skip to about 1:45.

 

Had a plumber here today with a helper. $600 but it is done right. He has two more visits for about 3 hrs each at each stage. I think maybe two or three more visits from the electrician. Drywall should be going in next week. Son found some mold on the back of some of the stuff I put in some 30 years ago. He tore it all out and said the vapor barrier that I had put in had caused it. We had a couple water issues several years ago that could have caused it. I've since corrected all the issues with outside drains and water sealing.

 

Finally got my butt down to HD to pick up all the electrical stuff for the new shed.....4' shop light, bulbs, bunch of outlets & switches, wire, GFCI breaker, outside security light, outdoor waterproof outlet, etc., etc., etc. Had a 10% off coup, so saved myself about $30. Gonna put all the boxes in tomorrow, hang the lights, etc., and then a friend from work is gonna wire it all.

The least favorite part will be digging the trench to lay the underground feed line. Wish I had one of those things the cable guys use to bury cable.

Pics when it's done.

 

After 35 straight days of work I got today Off

Going to fire up the smoker for some ribs and do a whole lot of nothing ,....... well maybe I'll do one thing

 

1. Regarding the price: Excellent!

2. Regarding the tractor:

3. Regarding old glory: thank you for proudly flying it!!!!!

4. Regarding the pine pellets: if they perform like these pine pellets, you re going to be very happy this winter.

 

It's a top 10 day here, can't ask for much better weather than this. Took the dogs for a long walk and saw these growing wild on the side of the road.

 

You got that right TT, beautiful day. Spent most of it outside playing with the kids and had a small bbq. The Sox even had a nice comeback win!

 

Only thing is the cable TV cable installed last fall......the cable guys said there wasn't anything else there, and the electrical I'm going to run is in the same area. Just gotta be careful of that one, but I have a pretty good idea where it is.

 

Stopped by the local farm supply store yesterday to get some propane. They started carrying Traeger pellet grills this year and the manager had one fired up was giving away free samples. I tried a few and talked with the manager a bit and asked him how the ash was cleaned out of the grill. He stared at me for about 10 seconds and finally said "That's a good question. I don't know". I almost started laughing and walked away shaking my head. At least the sausage I tried was yummy.

 

LOL- I use a vacuum in my MAK

 

Here is a hummingbird on the feeder. We have lots of them around this year. They sound like little helicopters zooming around all day, and man are they territorial! They spend more time making that tell-tale high pitched hummingbird battle sound than actually eating at the feeder!

 

I have seen two this year while watering my newly planted grass. Never seen them before.

Good to see your are not using the commercial red stuff. Not so good for the birds. Best to make your own from real sugar. Also need to clean them weekly with a mild bleach solution to control spreading disease.
