I want to say 400ish is about the smallest commercial rtu I've seen it was a 4 ton unit. We'll be setting a couple 26ton units coming up if I remember I'll report back on the weight of those

Manufacturer is Reznor

I believe ours are 1200s. about 1550 lbs

Emptied my 10 gallon shop vac that I use to clean the chaff out of my roaster today and cleaned the filter up a bit. Decided to order a new filter.

Trimmed the roots off the garlic harvest. Since they are hard neck I can't braid them the way we do soft necks. Need to come up with a mesh bag, or perhaps just store them in an airy box.Thanks, Rodger, @First_Warrior for the supply last year.

Same issue, don't have any. I will find something.

Friday, I reenlisted for my final six years. Swore in at the Chabot Space and Science Center because I am a nerd and I do nerd things. Yesterday was my twentieth anniversary in the USCG. My wife's birthday is in the next few days so we celebrated both by going to the NHRA Denso Sonoma Nationals. My wife loves auto racing, all auto racing. She doesn't know drivers or teams but she is a big fan of the sport. She'll do. Starting today, as far as the USCG is concerned, I am playing with house money. So, a huge thank you to @ShawnOL for helping me celebrate with a mighty fine Opus X Forbidden 13. Wonderful treat, this! 👍👍

Congrats, Chris and Happy Birthday to Mrs. Hawks.

You're very welcome, buddy. I hope it treated you well.

Went and picked up a water heater yesterday as there was no heat in the water yesterday morning. In the process of pulling the wires to replace it I ran across a red button so I pushed it, it clicked so I turned it back on and had hot water a few hours later. Will watch it a few days before returning the new one.

Looks like the new water heater is going back, going to chalk it up to weather related monsoon/lightning but it's working so why mess with it.

Leave the new water heater next to the old one, as a warning

Raccoon ripped a bunch of shingles off our cottage roof. Getting it patched up next week ($350), j would do it myself but wife said "no ladder work" when I turned 74..Happened a couple of years ago too.i am beginning to dislike the critters.

My oldest daughter is coming for a visit today. More specifically to go through her mother's belongings looking for something and to go through some old pictures. . Not so much to see me..

Of course I know nothing about your relationship with your daughter, but it seems maybe a bit strained. Maybe reminiscing and remembering your wife and her mother will help. I hope it goes well.

Went for a (brief) bike ride this morning along the Northwest River Trail. About 2 miles in, some other riders were stopped, and we asked if everything was OK. They pointed out this Bald Eagle perched in a tree overlooking the Susquehanna River, and I snapped a quick photo.

It was actually much closer than it appears in the pic. Then, starting up again, I was in too high a gear, so I stood up and gave a good push on the crank, and SNAP!, my chain broke and unwound itself onto the ground. Pushed the bike 2 miles back to the car.

Time to pick up some chain repair parts and tools. Live and Learn.

We get along great. It's just she didn't mention seeing me at all when she said she was coming over. Just a little butt hurt in a joking way.

When she gets there she will see you. Opportunities abound 🤙🏼. Good luck man.

Should it be doing this?

ShawnOL

Was a pleasant visit. She went through about 10 large boxes of Dawn's stuff. I now know I can throw away about 8 of them. Then I'll have enough room for another large gun safe.

Sharpened my Eafengrow EF11 Peasant Knife.

Photo shows the knife before sharpening.

There’s a bridge over the river midway between DC and the Delaware coast. Good memories.

There'll be hell to pay if that blue nylon rope gets sucked into the engine.
