@ScionBoo I’d have to bet they aren’t working on heating systems unless they’re connected to AC units. 😉 Thermometer showed 105.7 at 4pm.

Picked blueberries and did some brush cutting early this morning. Had to quit by 9 am as was just to hot for me to get any more done.

102.6 in the shade at 2 pm here north west of Weaver.

Regulator was working a year ago but didn’t try it prior to removing it from the grill. Cooking supper on the electric one more night…

Have fire coming out of the proper places but either the regulator is bad or there’s another problem in the lines. Just not enough pressure.

Got a couple of old grills I can take bits off of to use but will end up needing additional parts to use them. Guess I’ll go look anyway.

Was hoping to get at least one set of the burners working to cook supper on tonight but looks like that may not happen.

Got the valves greased & reassembled. 3/8 ip to compression fitting located. Now looking for the regulator and hose that’s here somewhere.

Gonna have to build more book shelves. Somehow. Somewhere. Looks to be time to rearrange the living area…

Made a quick run to the water department to pay the bill before they added the late charge. Made it there with 25 minutes to spare.

Did a walk around and put out ant poison on the worst of the hills. Hate doing it but also hate getting bit by the little critters.

Not taking the day off from doing stuff but am not going to go full tilt at it either. Picked blue and black berries this morning.

So got much less done than I had wanted to. Such is life. Depending on the weather tomorrow hope to get started cutting trees. Will see.

Ended up being a dhcp licence problem that I got straightened out but took over an hour to find and fix. I then napped till supper time.

Had planned on doing it this afternoon but storms moved in and sat here for a while. Then when they were gone the network hub was fubar.

Was too hot and tired after bushhoging the east side of the powerline, the road up and back down and picking both black and blue berries.

Got part of the stuff done today I had wanted to. No bamboo or timber. Bamboo is sprouting so am gonna leave it till later in the year.

Looks like you reduce the size of the jets so will either peen them down with a hammer or solder over them and re-drill to proper size.

Got to find the orifice diameter for propane & see if I have to drill the ones in these out. Guess worse case, I can check one on the grill.

Took 2 3 eye gas burner units apart as far as they would go without impact. Got all of the threaded bits soaking in penetrating oil.

May drop a few trees too. Need to get them down and peeled so they’ll have time to dry a bit before they get used in the framework.

Got more fuel today so am going to try to harvest another load of bamboo tomorrow morning.

After looking at the blueberry bush below the barn tonight I’m gonna have to pick another big batch tomorrow morning.

Got the window cut out in the front panel and one of the pieces cut for the door end. One more to go. Getting closer.

For now tis lunch and then rest for a bit

Still got a lot of cutting to do but am about done in for now. Gonna get fuel this afternoon then may do a bit more when it gets cooler.

Trimmed the bushes along the drive. Swapped the scrape blade for the bushhog on the tractor, then spent a couple of hours riding the beast.

Picked 1 3/4 pounds of blue berries after hauling the ladder up the hill. have GOT to trim the bushes back soon as they are done producing.

2 more pieces to cut out for the door (rear) end and then will start foaming and tacking it all into place.

Got the other piece of the window end wall panelling cut for the camper. Or mostly cut anyway. Still got to cut the window opening out.

Oatmeal cooking and 3rd cup of coffee brewing…

Canes (??? branches???) are far too long to get to the top ones and the bottom ones are dragging the ground/breaking from the weight.

Got the first batch of blueberries picked. Got to go back with a step ladder to get the rest. Gonna try to trim the bushes back this year.

Coffee is gone so guess I need to be too. Till later…

Guess that should have read: and pick blueberries to add to our breakfast oatmeal.

Have coffee now and am fixing to take a walk up the hill and pick blueberries for our breakfast oatmeal.

Not the way I had planned on starting the morning…

Spent the first 20 minutes after arising chasing 3 of the neighbours goats back in their pasture.

Not sure if it is the cats fighting and spraying or if we have a skunk under the trailer… 🙁

Had to sharpen the bit one time after drilling the 10th piece. Love the diamond hone! A few strokes and bit cuts like new again.

there’s 2 sets of each design and each design has a different hole spacing from the end of the log support.

Just got the last of 12 andiron log support bars drilled to bolt to the fronts. 3/8″ hole was through about 1.24 inches of cast iron.
