Sandy, a little behind here - so sorry for your loss.
Could grooming be an avenue for a part-time job, maybe? That might be a nice alternative to owning another one...
See? That's why I can never have pets. Just too heartbreaking.
True, but they are sooo worth it while they are with us.
I took three 78mm autos apart using a CE3 base and a pair of needle nose. I do want the ASIC to control voltage delivered to the CE3 so that's no problem. The biggest problem is how to safely attach a cable to the 78mm body and still control air flow. I may hang a fuse on the battery just to be safe.
I was outside, weeding, and watched the better part of three quarters of a billion, that's billion with a "B", fly by. Three C-17s came in from the north and turned east, basically, right over our house, on final approach into McGuire AFB. Their altitude was probably about 2000 feet or so. Of course, the camera was in the house and my hands were really dirty anyway. It was amazing how closely spaced they were, maybe a half mile apart. At the speed they have to land at, probably around 150mph, that seems kind of close. Awesome sight, though. We hear them when they take off if the wind is out of the east and can feel them most of the time when as well, lots of power going on there. If there's an open house at Joint Base MDL this year, I want to visit and see our tax dollars on the ground and climb around in them. I was there, years ago, and sat in the pilots seat of a C5. You can't see anything on the ground in front of the plane closer than about 100 feet or more. That must be fun to taxi around with!
Sandy, maybe the therapy of grooming another horse will help sooth you. I hope so.
We used to hear jets fly over here regularly. Low and loud! Always two at a time. For some reason, they don't do that anymore. Maybe because they're all overseas.
Cindycated would just use a mech.
Yep. Me too.
Roland the Tilemahos is a tank device (3ml).
True, the CE3 will blow up, but since the resistances are high on those devices i doubt it will ever happen. Tilemahos runs at 1,5 - 1 - 0.5Ω usually.
I don't like dripping too, too much work when on the move.
Don't like dripping either. And I really can't understand the love affair that so many have with them.
It is almost noon and I finally finished the North and the Northwest irrigation zones setup. That took me all morning!
I moved the irrigation manifolds to inside the veggie garden and away from the faucet using a 15 foot irrigation pipe that Hubby glued hose ends onto. A three way manifold went onto that.
Then, a heavy duty filter and a heavy duty pressure regulator that can take being under constant pressure on the right hand manifold valve.
From there I put on a double manifold. Both zones got their own timer.
I then had to run the 3/4 inch tubing across the field to the NW zone. I used a T to tie the old system on that side into the new line. I cut off the old line where used to tie in to the system and closed it.
I ran 1/2 tubing with built in drippers behind the long shed and greenhouse. No more individual drippers on teensey weensey 1/4 inch lines. So much more efficient and easier to maintain.
I still had to run a new 3/4 inch line to the North Zone and T it into the old system. Then, I cut off that line where it used to run to the old manifold and closed off the old line where it used to start at.
I am so ready for lunch and a nap on the couch.
Then, I can finally finish hooking up the veggie garden onto the left manifold valve.
The garden hose will go in the center manifold valve. Then, I'm done!!!!!
Speaking of "Master Garderner" !!
Cindy, with the drip systems you can install a head that matches the needs of each plant. I use 1gph heads for tomatoes and such and either 3gpm or variable rate heads for cukes,squash and the blueberries. I think Lizzie's garden gets plenty of sun, everywhere, LOL. Even with a drip system the gph rate can get high for a layout the size Lizzie is using. That would mean a major investment in solar panels to run a big enough pump.
Heck, 3ml isn't a tank, that's a clearo! My favorites are the Erlkonigin (clone) at 6ml and the Big Fogger at 10ml.
It's supposed to rain tomorrow so I'll have some time to fool around in the basement and see what I can do for a "super cig-a-like auto" system.
Sooo ... you're gonna be able to use an automatic powered by a 18650
HANDS FREE? Must have some strong chompers!
It is all sun here, all the time, Cindycated. Most veggies prefer at least 8 hours of sun, per day. More is okay.
Tomatoes prefer afternoon shade, if they can get it.
Many veggies benefit from late afternoon shade in a hot climate.
We use drip tape which dispenses water every 8 inches. We do not vary the amount per plant. I have experimented with putting drip tape on both sides of the carrots and potatoes last year. That has worked well. I put the two tapes about 8 inches apart. Most of the veggies don't need the two tapes but I noticed potatoes won't grow into dry soil so the two tapes worked great. I had some enormous potatoes last year and lots of them.
Cindycated, you can come here anytime.
And then she can come visit Terry and I on the way home. That's on the way home, right?
Good morning, Voltpeeps.
Any more trouble from Harry the Woodpecker, Raven?
Hope everyone is outside playing in the sun, seeding, planting, planning a garden
Okay, maybe taking a walk or just sitting in the sunshine are acceptable as well
Henry, the woodpecker has decided that the good-looking fellow in the window is an equal match and unbeatable. He's given up. Thank goodness!!
I've been busy doing some spring cleaning and organizing. In fact, I had a gallon sized zip lock baggie full of "Vape Laundry" that I finally tackled. It was full of old tanks and bottles that needed to be cleaned, and heads that needed to be rebuilt. I'll bet that I literally rebuilt fifty T4, Evod, and Protank heads over the last couple of days. Never,
NEVER, designate a bag as "Vape Laundry". It enables one to put off what must be tackled eventually. Most of the stuff I put away for storage since I rarely use the Protanks or Vivi Novas anymore, but I still use T4's on my Leos. I want to keep this stuff in case of Vape Armageddon, but was too lazy to clean it on the fly.
It'll be whatever it works out to. My experience with migrations was that an estimate of 24 hours turned into a reality of 72 hours, then a lot of clean-up for the next week or two. I don't envy their task, at all.
Guess we may be stuck going through ECF withdrawal for a bit.
