I will be doing my maintenance this weekend if the weather is "dull". Nice weather for most people.
Strong to severe storms coming through here Friday and Monday. I'll bet you get some of that action, too.
I am hoping my DFARS comes in tomorrow via the UPS girl....
Yeah, I'll bet!
My station has only been up since mid-September ought-8, so I'm hoping it's not too dirty or spidery.
I uncovered my bushhog today during a "cleanup" around the farm-ette and found a sprayer for the sevin spray for the garden. I had left the pump out of it so that it wouldn't freeze and burst. I thought it looked kind of brownish (it's a white plastic sprayer) and when I looked inside, it was full of sticks and leaves. A bird was up in the trees squawking at me. So, big hearted guy that I am, I put it back and pulled the tarp over it. I hope the bird will go back to it. You would think that the bug spray would smell, but I guess it didn't bother them. I donno.
Not a cloud in the sky this morning, comfortably cool, but warming quickly. Very little wind.
Excellent day to do the maintenance on the ISS.
Yes. UPS girl brought the FARS yesterday.
I shut down and retrieved the whole thing off the roof. Brought it inside and "tested" the rainfall a bit. I'm coming up a little short, but decided to leave it be for now. Not 100% sure of my testing methods.
Took it all apart and installed the FARS and put it back together and back to the roof I went.
All seems to be back up and working. I could even hear the little fan whirling around.
I "aimed" it more to the southwest in hopes of catching the last rays of summertime sun. I hope I didn't go too far and the rest of it quits working, but I think it will get enough sunlight.
Oh yeah. Only 3 little spiders and 2 dead flies.
Now to move onto another Saturday project.
