what up misfits? i haven't been over here in awhile. believe i see yall on the old farts thread though.
OK. Yer ole Unca had another apostrophe.
Not only are all youse guys Ph.D.'s in this area (that would be a TINS, because who could know more and do better, hm?) Anybody at Yale?
BUT: Like professional vintners of fine wines, you guys all recognize different "breeds" by taste, scent, sight, and personal reaction.
Me: The equivalent of a hobo in an alley. As long as he has a bottle with something in it, he is quite satisfied. Couldn't tell Taittinger's Squat Bottle 1951 from Red Lady.
Use a long screwdriver. Press the tip against the irrigation pipe and the other end against your ear. I just capped off one of my lines, I need to buy 4 new control valves.Not only an adams apple, but actually looks like a guy, except for the lipstick. Would your wives and daughters feel comfortable sharing a restroom with him?
I hope lowering the requirements to hang out in women's and little girls restrooms that far doesn't give Roster (and his kind) any ideas about kinky wigs and lip stick.
53F @ 78% RH, gorgeous, and predicted to reach 84F.
Got bids to remove my old diseased Euorpean Weeping Birch but after discussing saving the bees nested in it with a bee rescue service, I'm getting a new bid to remove the limbs and top it about 15' up. The bee rescue service will seal the other holes in the tree and put a copper cap on it to protect the nest. The tree should have been removed over a decade ago, but we just keep trimming off the dead stuff to save the wild hive, because bees are having such a hard time right now.
I dug several holes in our front garden looking for the water leak in the sprinkler system and exposed some of the pipes so I can start installing valves and isolating sections. Still looking for one of the electric control valves............
Progress on my latest test sled upgrades article and got notice that a couple of parts that I need to complete the sled have arrived at the UPS store. At this point, I'm one thermocouple away from shakedown.

When my friends and I were 12 maybe 13 yrs old, we would collect bottles and get enough change to have my sister buy us a bottle Of Boones Farm SH and we would all sleep out in a tent and split it.Bigsur: "Boones Farm anyone?"
Their main hoohah was just a few miles from my house. "Strawberry Hill" cost $1.25
You could go to their wine tastings. Just buy a wineglass for a dollar, and start at the white wines and work through to the "high-end" deep red "Rosario".
One time, we took the tour, and followed the gravel paths to each of the tasting stations. We got all done, and were just a bit tiddly... and we simply took a wrong turn on the way to the parking lot.
We wound up going through the whole fargin thing all over again. We were totally smashed. Got a buddy to drive us home while his wifelet got our car home.
All for a dollar. And we kept the glasses. Drank perhaps three bottles of wine, since we tried every kind they made (with refills even, sometimes) twice.
how about a bottle of Thunderbird?...Ripple and Boones Farm anyone?

Great idea Or a engine stethoscope
What if you charged each lateral with an inert gas such as Nitrogen once isolated to see which is leaking?????????//Not to forget Auntie Greensprings
Both excellent ideas, but alas neither worked.

Three people shot in bars and the Bootleg fire is now over 400,000 acres and not expected to be under control until November rains.
I picked up a engine stethoscope to see if I could detect which lateral the water is leaking from in our sprinkler system, but alas no luck. Back to installing isolation valves to see which lateral shuts it off.
Still waiting on the thermocouple for the test sled.
Bought a gorgeous 100 year old burled wood, sterling knob and tip walking stick for my barrister neighbor. Now I am searching for a 5/8" rubber tip. I didn't foresee the need, but can't give it to him as is. He would bust his ass.

Same thing happened to me with whiskey sours. Never again will I mix whiskey with anything but ice.And when we were 16 we moved up to Southern Comfort
I got so sick drinking a bottle I have never touched the stuff again, just the smell nauseates me to this day
If you ordered from amazon you can cancel that order and once you have gotten cancelation noticed confirmed ,I found this at that the same time as you. Just ordered. Bummer--not Prime, have to wait a week. Oh, well.
