The calico has the dimensions of my Shannon, but not as much white fur. The spotty kitten is a foster.

Oh please! No!
Not the sound of Chainsaw..
Ah...yes.

There is no application of advanced grass substitute growth stimulant scheduled for today, the temp is only 80 (as opposed to 98 or some other unbearable), and the advanced grass substitute, which last Friday was stunted and not in need of shortening is now armed and advancing on the domicile after being rejuvenated by four days of automatic applications of growth stimulant.
I need to wander the low places in the yard to see if they are sufficiently dried so that the Little Red Riding Thing doesn’t get mired in the mud (yesterday it was still to jellolike.) If so, I will be spending the next couple of hours decreasing the height of the AGS..
Best wishes for avoiding sinkholes or wild pests. I’m going to write a letter to my mother-in-law.
I think I’ve gone beyond my expiration date. Bed sounds comfortable. It may help my neck, as well. (Lots of pain with it this year...)
UPS is supposed to bring my pills today, but I’m tired of waiting. They will get here when they get here. They don’t need me to drop them on the porch.
I’m going to take a card for my mother-in-law out to the mailbox and then take a shower. I still smell like horses, and I have the Stewardship Committee tonight. Bo-ring, and we won’t have wine because we have a guest from another parish coming.
Was going to question where the power bus is.
Then thought better of it.
So ,don’t American breaker boxes use Power busses to mount the trips?
They are supposed to.
That particular series of breakers is DIN rail mount...
A former employer of mine used them in their controllers which were made in Finland. Just about everything in the box was DIN rail mount except for the cpu/io rack..
Of course the labels (in Finnish) were glued onto the doors. The folks at the US hdqtrs glued translated labels over them.
I guess it's to be expected that one would get screwed up.
No sinkholes. Yet.
The project had a delayed opening due to two minor issues - a flat tire on the Little Red Riding Thing (easily solved) and a refusal to start by the Prime Mover in LRRT. That involved a more thorough cleaning of battery terminals (well, just the positive one since the negative end was, well, negative and even battery terminal crud didn’t want to hang out with it. And a jump to get it going after all that.
Finally, after a filling of the fuel container I commenced the height decreasing treatment of the Advanced Grass Substitute. With the delayed start of the project I still figured I could get the Front, the East side inside the was-a-fence, and the West Front on the road side of the link fence before having to make a decision as to continuing under headlight illumination or postponing completion till next daylight.
That projection was truncated by a message from Mrs. NoC delivered via Messenger Granddaughter that said “Don’t forget you have to get milk.” Since the milkcheap place closes at 8pm I had to sacrifice daylight to make the milkrun.
Advanced Grass Substitute shortening will continue on the morrow..
The first edition of the adjusting instructions for the four quadrant static power converter (we didn’t get that fancy, we just called it an scr drive - even though it didn’t have scr’s - because the sales department couldn’t grasp the four quadrant static power converter thing) were, of course, translated to English from Finnish. By people who had a working knowledge of neither the English language nor the technical concepts they were supposedly making ‘plain’ to us.
It was a work of, umm.. It required great powers of, um... It was..
Descriptives fail other than in multiple places it was humorous. And you would have killed someone if you followed the ‘instructions’ to the letter using normal American English comprehension..
I wish I had kept a copy but corporate made us turn them all in when they printed the ‘real English’ version (which I do still have.)
I see.
A bodge-artist of the first order may have been at work. :)
“The folks at the US hdqtrs glued translated labels over them.”
Good to see traditions being upheld.
“Speak more slowly and with increased volume ,when abroad”
:D
So near, yet so far.....
It sounds as if you made a good effort. I have to get crickets for the gecko this morning.
The calico has the dimensions of my Shannon, but not as much white fur. The spotty kitten is a foster.
I love the horse smell, as it always reminds me of my childhood. But yah, unsuitable for a Stewardship meeting.

Monsoons have hit late. Last year, they came the last week in June.
I do NOT want to go into Vegas this morning. I’ve been debating with myself most of the night about it, and I hate when I do that.
Snuggies! The calico is fluffy, not fat! The little spotty kitteh is a real keeper!
We like to say Shannon is “plush.”
I think you should go into Vegas, get your medical business done, and then return. Then you can forget about it! Not that I am all that good at making an effort to take care of myself ... but do what I say, not what I do!
