Good Morning!

[sp1187]

It would be nice if I had met all of you 10 years ago and could have cooked for you. But alas, it was not to be.

so we should eat before dropping by.....

Happy Monday! It's been a while since I've had a piece of equipment go haywire, so why not today?! For some reason my ATO decided to go nuts. I caught it in the act tho, ATO pump going furious dumping all of the 4.5 gallons of fresh water in to the sump, and the skimmer overflowing all at the same time..

I drained out the excess best I could and will test salinity in a hour. Total system volume is about 65ish gallons, so I don't think it'll move the needle too far. I'd definitely call this an ATO fail since it's supposed to know how long it should run before cutting the pump off. I know my skimmer cup was at least half full before the event, so even if it went nuts, that's maybe at most 3-4 cups of water volume to replace . No reason for the ATO to dump 4.5 gallons in one shot. Guess its time to add the redundant redundancy checks ;Woot How many freakin sensors do we need? Skimmer level sensor, ATO reservoir sensor, 2 x temp sensors, return pump chamber sensor, sensor for the sensors sensor, whee!! This makes me want to go with float valves or something low tech. Bad idea?

wouldn't know.
i'm old school.
still do manual top offs to a black magic marker mark on the sump.:cool:

Good morning! The conversation happened yesterday. The intent is for me to go part time, working the minimal hours needed to keep benefits. I have a few years before I reach the "golden" age. Husband is already there, so he doesn't factor into the equation. I still don't have a lot of the details I need, but the process has been started.

Boss asked when I wanted to start part time. Me: "Tomorrow." Ummm, that might not work. Bosses' boss wants me to stay full time through the end of the year. Me: "No." We agreed on November 1st. I still don't know what will happen November 1st, but something better happen! Waiting on HR details now.

CONGRATS.

CONGRATS.

Thank you! I'm just done with all the extracurricular activities....meetings about meetings, work groups, task forces, process improvements, etc. I don't want to improve anything else. Just leave me alone and let me crunch numbers! I guess I'll have to go to an occasional meeting....if I happen to be there that day. :cool:

I hope your situation works out!

Good morning everybody!

It was early evening when a fully loaded minivan pulled into the only remaining campsite. As soon as it stopped, four children leaped out. They began to unload gear and worked feverishly to set up the tent. Next, the boys ran to gather firewood while the girls helped Mom set up the camp kitchen. The camper next door was impressed. “I’ve never seen such teamwork,” he said. The father nodded sagely. “I have a system,” he explained. “No one goes to the bathroom before the camp is ready.”

note to self:
verify where the opening is on the spray bottle before removing your glasses.
it's for cleaning your glasses.... not your eye. :rolleyes:

Good morning. Dog free today, except for mine, I needed a little break before next one comes tomorrow! Got new tires on my car yesterday and getting alignment done today. Said they would have to keep my car all day… I hate being without my car even if I’m not planning on going anywhere.

Good morning
Waiting on the crane truck to show up. Tried to call the neurologists office. There is no longer an option to speak to a human.

Good morning, was playing with my camara today....

You know, I would love some photo skills and a camera I could do that with. Here would be my target

Just an old cell phone to take pictures with.

Good morning all!
More coffee soon. And catching up. Been overly tired lately with not much to say.

Good Morning. Saturday I sold one of my pieces at an art gallery here on the North Fork on Long Island New York.

This is not the piece that sold but that is my wife and Daughter.

Beautiful family :)
What in the world kind of art do you make?

It would be nice if I had met all of you 10 years ago and could have cooked for you. But alas, it was not to be.

My mom was the cook of the family. The moment she started up the grill, neighbors would line up and sit in a pile of drool waiting on the food to be done. They didn't even ask if they were invited. They invited themselves and she always made sure there was enough for everyone.

God knows, I miss my parents. They were great, with their flaws and all. Took my 30+ yrs to figure it out.

It's hard to describe. Here are a few.

That piece, is full of awesome! Reminds me of back to the future and some other things I have seen.

 

[WVNed]

It's called Steampunk or at least Paul's version of it.
Steampunk items on the net

Sitting in the house with the dogs. 3 inch hammer drill being taken to the back wall, power going off and on.
It's kind of like Halloween.

Now sitting in the dark

Power is back. Tanks were running on the small generator for the last time. Best $250 I ever spent.
Tomorrow is testing and turnup and some small details.

It has a turbo, LOL.
