Hot and humid.\u00a0 It’s the season!\u00a0 There was a beautiful cool breeze off the lake yesterday and it was very nice in the shade.\u00a0\u00a0 For the limited time I was in the shade.\u00a0\u00a0 The rest was as hot as Satan’s scrotum.<\/p>\n
I did general cleanup and details before cutting the grass and heading home.\u00a0\u00a0 I stopped to pick up stuff on the way.\u00a0\u00a0 Got some stuff out of storage.\u00a0\u00a0 Went to Lowe’s.\u00a0 Had to clean and organize the entire fitting section to find the electrical parts I needed, and they were out of stock on one item.\u00a0\u00a0 Took WAY longer than it should have to shop.\u00a0\u00a0 But I got everything on my list and should be able to get the plumbing and electrical stuff done without needing another trip.<\/p>\n
So I’m headed back up to the BOL as soon as I get all my stuff together.\u00a0 I still need to pull a few things out of the garage, like the actual wire I’m using for the new circuits.\u00a0\u00a0 I found that the problems were even more dangerous and absurd with the dock and the dockhouse yesterday when I opened the panel and really looked.\u00a0\u00a0 NO breakers for the dockhouse, just live conductors.\u00a0 I live a charmed life, that it was broken when I thought it was safely off.<\/p>\n
Once it’s bad enough that it’s all coming out, is it really necessary to look at all the ways it’s bad?<\/p>\n
My wallet is over $1000 lighter, but one more safety issue will be out of the way.\u00a0\u00a0 Good thing I was prodded into doing the fix.\u00a0 I just don’t like to have things jump to the front of the line in this particular way.<\/p>\n
I was able to pull a bunch of stuff out of stock (and stacks.)\u00a0\u00a0 But I’ve never used the pvc conduit before so I had to buy all of that.\u00a0 Well, three sticks of 1″ I pulled from stacks, because I’d picked them up from outside another business – hey one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.\u00a0\u00a0 $30 in conduit?\u00a0 I was pretty sure I’d use it eventually.<\/p>\n
So stack stuff you think you might need.\u00a0 Stack stuff that is useful and cheap or free but could cost more later.\u00a0\u00a0 Stack stuff…<\/p>\n

added- checked on my grapes when I got home.\u00a0\u00a0 They are the red table grapes and while most are still green, they are sweeter, and there are a few that are red, and pretty delicious.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
