99 F350 -- https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/ford,1999,f-350+super+duty
They've got 1999 F150, F250, F350, F450, F550, F800 and F53(whatever that is). There's nothing Beau won't be able to find there and will have many choices for brand and price for common things. The database and sources for parts is mind boggling. Just gotta deal with that 3-5 day shipping time but their shipping rates are low too. Their website also has a feature where if you put a part in the cart, all other parts in the listing that ship from the same location will now have a shipping truck icon. Helps to keep shipping cost down if everything's coming from the same location.
I buy most of my parts from there unless I just can't wait for it to be shipped. Even with shipping it's cheaper than the chain stores. They have parts for cars I've never even heard of and also have a good selection of good brand names.
I had to return something once and they emailed me a return shipping label within an hour and I got the new part before I had even sent them the return.
Got the new waterpump put in the truck. Took about 3 hours and I was taking my time. Couldn't have gone any smoother - yay. All the bolts showed signs of having had anti-seize compound on them so I ran to town and got some. Now I can have AC on my hot afternoon drive home.
Almost 3pm so I'm going to go see if that drip irrigation water burns my hand when it comes out for the 3pm bean/melon seed watering. The brown line feels cooler than the black and what I just bought is black. I need to mulch over it all but am curious about exposed drip line temp.
He uses Rock Auto too, and has been very happy with them so far. :)
Glad you can have some A/C again in your truck. Such Luxury! ;)
Two inches down at a drip, 98 degrees. Two inches down, a foot away, still 98 degrees so that little drip has no effect. Stuck a plastic jar lid under the same drip, still 98 degrees.
Water in the tank is 80 so obviously and unsurprisingly, dark colored drip line in the sun heats up the water in it. My little 10 minute sessions aren't enough to bring tank temperature water to the drippers.
In the shade of a tomato plant - 2 inches down, 86 degrees.
Tallest grassy area in an aisle, 86 degrees.
Under a pile of weeds sitting in the shade, 81 degrees. I have no pile of weeds sitting in the sun right now so I couldn't check that.
Full sun exposed soil 5 inches down, 80 degrees.
Two of three temp/germination charts I have don't even bother to give germination rates at 95 or more for cukes and beans. Could still be old seeds. Mulch and reseed will tell.
Mulch the whole thing and I'd be down in the low to mid 80s instead of 98. I think it's shady there now and I have a dozen square bales of hay taking up space in the tunnel. ttyl
