Morning all.

TGIF. I came into work 15 minutes early so I can leave early. I have a real jerk for a boss now. I just wish I had some real work to do. I did change the air filter on the HIVAC unit. I have a schedule on calendar to change the filter every 4 months. The blower is a strange size. It really needs 22x24 filters. No one seems to stock those at the local stores. I have to get the from Amazon. My first few filter changes were a challenge so I ended up getting some square wood shims to hold the filter in place. Amazon was an easier choice.

Change my filters, two 12x24, when I sneeze right after I wake up, or the countdown timer on my thermostat says the filter has been in service for 1000 hrs of the fan running. Whichever comes first. Changed em just 2 weeks ago. The thermostat said it was time. I write the install date on the filters, It is usually every 3 months, but have had them go as long as 6.

Ours is a washable filter. My wife washes it spring and fall.

Tonight we (dad, the kids and I) go to Road America for the Hawk. Will watch the races tomorrow and come home afterwards. Can Am is the featured class this year.

Richard, our 7 year old boy loves ribs, especially smoked. Were you to share with him there might not be enough for the two of you! I don't know where he puts the meat, but he can eat a lot of ribs.

I tried the washable ones, we had a lot more dust in the house with them. Went back to mid level disposable. It is silly how much some filters cost. I don't get the bargain basement cheapies but I can't see spending 30 bucks per filter for a house with dogs.

[RKDinOKC]

They WERE really good. Know I ate too much, Just couldn't stop. Glad I only smoked half of em.

[flipper35]

Ours was a factory filter that came with the unit and is a HEPA filter. It is also huge for a filter. 36x38 or maybe the next size up.

Have fun at the races, Brent!

Going to another of the local PCA "car shows" today at 11:00. It will be mid 90s by 11 so I will park and go inside. It is at a hunting lodge themed place. The wait staff are dressed as guides and it is a rustic hunting lodge theme with two mountains in the logo. The place is twin peaks. The scenery is usually pleasant and they actually have decent food. Orders of magnitude better than that owl themed place. Hooters food is a oxymoron. They have to try to have food that bad.

[GH85Carrera]

Whew. It is 102 outside. The food was good and they have good air conditioning. Maybe it is my old freezer eyes but there was not one of the chicks there that I thought was pretty and for sure no hot ones. Lots of tats.
Good company. Nice turn out. My GP doctor sat next to me. He has a 1987 Ruf black on black and non functioning AC. My AC struggled on the 20 minute drive home. It sat in full sun for several hours on a fresh black parking lot.

Oh boy, we are having a cold spell. Forecasted high today is only 96°F

[GH85Carrera]

Yea, almost cold out there. I got the yard mowed by 10 AM and it was in the 80s.
It looks like my MIL goes home tomorrow.

This is a selfie taken by a monkey when the wildlife photographer and animal conservationist gave his camera to the monkey. The photo has become very popular. PETA is suing the photographer saying ALL the money made from the photo should go to help the monkeys because the monkey pushed the shutter button so therefore owns the rights to the photo.

It bothers me because PETA is wasting more of MY tax dollars in time, court court costs, etc. to sue this guy than the photo income would give to the monkeys.

People Enjoy Tasty Animals. We had a nice prime rib last night. Mmmmmm.

More fun with garage remodeling. I moved an electrical outlet and insulated part of the garage. Tomorrow, I have another outlet to relocate and then I'll insulate the remaining wall. Maybe by Tuesday I'll hang some drywall. Whoopie.

[RKDinOKC]

Have some metal shelving in my garage that would like to replace with wooden built-ins. Slot a track and use masonite for sliding doors to keep the dust off the stuff on the shelves.

Think insulation would be a big plus as well. Know there isn't any over the garage so assume the walls are insulation free, well...except the are brick masonry. Still gets just as hot in the garage as it is outside even with the insulated overhead door.

Happy Freakin Monday.

morning all. long weekend, sick with migraine on Friday and playing catch up the rest of the weekend. To much stress I think.

[GH85Carrera]

Good Morning.

My wife just left with her mother! Yea. In reality she is a great MIL. She was a bit crazy from the Lunesta, but she is over that for now we hope.

We are shopping for a camera for shooting obliques aerials. It is just like buying a car. We pretty much require a professional level full sensor camera. There are a million ways to measure a camera, but sensor size matters. The lack of noise is important for big enlargements. We shoot construction progress at sites and most of the time it is used in a report that any camera would do fine for the image. We shoot some stuff that get printed 40x60 and up and other low light level photography. Noise or a lack of it is important.

The camera we really want, the Canon EOS 5DS R Digital SLR is a 50 MP full sensor but kinda pricey. We would be just over 6 grand to have it with the 70-200 L glass lens. Yikes.

Time to sell a toy. NOT!!!!

Re-booted my computer this morning. Since it is a laptop usually just sleep and don't reboot very often. Evidently this is the first reboot since the last Outlook upgrade and it finally finished. Microsoft actually removed FEATURES and changed the colors and fonts to make Outlook almost impossible to see what you are doing... what in tarnation!!!
