Pool etc

Posted on Wednesday, June 24th, 2009 at 11:46 am

The pump is not the problem. The black nipple that attaches to the suction hose is. The nipple is now too weak; the pump suction collapses the nipple. I’ve put a small piece of pvc into the nipple to keep it open. And I’ve left the pump on.

Nice Helmet!

RAM! I can not find it. Do either of you know where it is?

Called Orange County about road drainage asking that someone come out and clean the ditch. OC info line is 407 836 3111. The Request Ticket # is 312551.

Two chicks had already hatched. The third had pipped. Fortunately, I had bought all the hand-feeding supplies, with the exception of the pharmaceuticals. So, my calculation was off. One is 10.6 grams. One is 8.4 grams.

There was something about the dishes in the cabinet that gave me the idea you were happy I wasn’t there. Did you add to your dish collection, Jen?

    In the bare area between the pool and the shed? By the curd for the garbage men?

    DW: Forgot to ask in the previous comment…do you have a suggestion where the wood should be moved to? JT

    David, Wow…glad you got the brooder fixed…hope the chicks start to acclimate and do better. I didn’t watch the end of Once … and I did forward through some of the long intro and long songs at the beginning. Ellen and I are getting ready to watch a movie – trying to decide which one – and have dinner. Thanks for putting the thermostat in…now I can keep my Cherry Garcia (chocolate) in the freezer and not eat the whole pint in one sitting (just kidding – I eat it in about 2 sittings!). Anyway, the other romantic … Hope Spring Eternal …wasn’t good … I watched about 10 minutes and turned it off. I’m not sure why romance is a backdrop to comedy…maybe it’s about balance. I’ll renew Once for you. More tomorrow. Jen

    Jennifer: The brooder was out of control this morning. It was overheating. It got to well over a hundred degrees. So, I woke to alot of anxiety. Fortunately, I did find an old incubator in the shed with the part that I needed. Even more fortunately, I was able to remove it from the incubator and get it into the brooder in about two hours or so.
    Too, today, apart from hourly feedings, I had to get to the pharmacy for nystatin and enrofloxin – the chicks have been without it, in their over hot brooder, for a couple of days. They are not looking good. Not dyhradting – yet. But not as responsive as they should be.
    So, there was little time to spend at the house. Nevertheless, I did replace the freezer thermostat. If your problem persists, I would guess the fridge thermostat is also bad. Of course, replacing the gasket will help. Sorry for the mess – I’m sure there is water on the floor.
    I did take the movie Once whatever. And I saw the stack of romantic comedies … but, I couldn’t find the box of chocolate … don’t you have to eat chocolate while watching romantic comedies. And, tell me, why is romance a backdrop to comedy? What is that about?
    The pool did have a problem when I got there. There was circulation, but little. The intake hose was clogged with leaves.
    The ligustrum is a victim of Mr. Often-wrong; the limbs from the oak should never have been stacked there. They are being killed by a fungus called myzella (I think). It can not be killed. However, the area does need fetilizer with micronutrients. And the wood has to be moved to a place where it will do no harm. Nothing “woody” can be expected to do well in that area for awhile.
    Can you renew that movie for me?

    Hi David: Yes…I anticipate coming home to find that you had a successful day working on the flights. The fridge can wait til next weekend when the gasket arrives. I’ve planned time on Sunday afternoon to work in the yard, so if the long blades of grass whisper to you, well…do your best to ignore them. How’s the little Snapper? There is one thing I would appreciate…if you could sort through any fruit you pick up today, that would be great. Other than that, I hope you have a good day here at Diostede doing whatever you like.

    Do you have some expectation for tomorrow?

  7. Jennifer says:

    David,
    To answer your questions:
    RAM: Ellen and I have looked for the RAM…haven’t found it…go ahead and buy what you need.
    PIGEON: Yes, that pigeon. I used it as a way to let you know it was me online…not Ellen…just having some fun.
    APPLESCRIPT: The little I know about it, you taught me.
    Jen

    Typo! That was a typo! Missed YOU by seven minutes! YOU. I missed YOU by seven minutes. Damn. I may have to do a No Abuse check in on that one.

  9. David says:

    Do you know any applescript? I can’t create a new group calendar in iCal using applescript. Are you alone?

  10. David says:

    What pigeon? I remember a pigeon? The third egg hatched. Eight point on grams.

  11. David says:

    Missed me by seven minutes.

  12. Jennifer says:

    ok…6:52 and no you…I’ll try back around 8:30 p JT

  13. Jennifer says:

    DW: I’ll check back at 6:50 pm…if your not on by then, I’ll try again at 8:30 pm. JT

  14. Jennifer says:

    I see that…it’s me, Jen…remember the pigeon? Are you still online…want to talk awhile now? Jen

  15. David says:

    If you refresh your screen, you’ll see I updated the Pool etc post after returning home.
    I will be here at 8:30. I may still be awake. I feel like I could sleep now. But I’ve babies to feed.
    You’re logging in as Ellen, Jen. Unless, of course, you are Ellen. If you are Ellen, you’re sounding mighty mature, and very busy.
