Stop in for a cup of coffee

Actually the only milk trucks I see now are Land o Lakes, kind of big around here.
 
We don't have any dairies left here in the valley. At one time there were 5 or 6. Alan Johnson Racing started in his father's former milking barn :D. When the wind was just right and the dairyman up the street would get into his silage pile to feed, I could go out on the porch of the plant operating shack and get a buzz off the fumes :lol:
That's funny. We used to have a few sheep to keep the back clear and the garbage pail we kept grain in sometimes the bottom would ferment and the sheep would get into it. Funny to see drunk sheep!

The verticle silos are dangerous. When the stuff is fermenting you stay off the ladder and out of the chute. You can easily pass out from the fumes.

I have drunk rabbits after every beer brew. They love the grain and apparently the alcohol too. (Stumblin' around the yard)
 
When still working for AT&T, I was at a cust. home, at swan lake. We all called it swine lake. It is about 1/2 mile from a dairy with lots of cows.
Well that day the wind was blowing away from the stink, and it was almost OK. She asks me, does it always smell like this? Nope, great she says, I can hardly stand it! :rofl:

It is usually unbearable!

Not all dairies produce only milk :lol:
 
Whatever grape juice the local vineyards had an over abundance of was the variety of the year at Chateau Dutra :lol:.
Usually on the + side of 20% :D. He recommended mixing it into wine coolers for the faint of heart :lol:
 
Good morning, it's been a tuff 5 days, feel off the back deck last Tuesday night, full moon and a couple few beers and tripped over a plant/pot full of soil, busted a rib under my right arm pit. If I cof it sends me to the ceiling. Didn't go to the doctor till Friday morning....had my best night's sleep last night, I am sure you all can emagin.

Sorry to hear of this Mike. I broke two ribs on my back between my kidney and shoulder blade on the right side during a heated sparring match in class one night. Coughs, sneezes, laughs, blowing nose.....ugh
 
Hey @dartnabout , So, yesterday after we talked, (yes, I still talked to him after he called me 'Chris'-lol) I turned down the cutout to get it to turn off consistently. So running 20/35. As I said, pressure wouldn't go much higher anyway. Not going to touch it again till ready to change pump. Hopefully it lasts till this Covid crap is done.) After running up the air pressure on tank that you suggested, I really think the tank is good. So, I am going to get a new pump and ejector that is set up with a 30/50 switch to match the original precharge of the tank. Now I just need to decide which one to get. As we were discussing about horsepower, it's somewhat of a meaningless reference in this case. Took a closer look as specs on the 1/2hp with tank I had already ordered. Appears to be sadly under powered. I'm leaning toward the 3/4hp Everbuilt from HD. As best I can tell it's pretty close in pumping power to my existing 1/2hp...
 
I haven’t been on much lately, i’m still fighting the effects of having COVID-19. It’s been 3 weeks now.

Fortunately it was a mostly mild case, but it was...and still is...unpleasant.

I have lost 60% of the vision in my left eye due to COVID conjunctivitis and it’s like looking through an ice cube. My vision is totally warped.

I also have no sense of smell on the left side, the right side is still working.

Docs say it will clear eventually, but in the mean time I can’t do any artwork and reading is a chore that makes my head hurt. It’s like losing my right arm.

My wife and daughter are fine and show no symptoms. Thank God for that.

My wife knew I was feeling depressed and made the lasagna that was handed down through our family from an old Italian immigrant woman that my Mom was good friends with 50 years ago.

Sometimes, food is Love. It just came out of the oven a little bit ago.
