Busy day continues into the night with hvac repair. Heard a noise and smelt something burning through the air vent. Found two burnt wires at the heating coil. Replaced the wires and pulled the coil to replace it.
Fun with pressurization. Had a door seal fail yesterday. Couple hours to replace it, 12 or so for sealant to cure, hour test flight, better but not quite right. More sealant to fill all the little gaps that add up to a big gap, and more cure time. Another quick test hop this evening and my medics get a sea level pressure cabin up to 12,000 ft.
I'm still troubled by what I did for that Klondike bar...
Put plastic cover in the doggie door to prevent the dogs from going outside and antagonizing the skunk that I smell out there. Luckily the dog that had already gone out there and barked her head off didn't get sprayed otherwise I'd be closing the barn doors after all the horses had gone.
Troubleshoot a network issue at home where the Roku stopped streaming and the wireless Internet went down. Traced it to the cable modem box enabling it's internal, unused Wi-Fi networks which were stepping all over my own mesh wireless router. Just glad that I didn't spend a lot of time trying to trace down this annoying problem.

Fixed the Herfmobile 8-track; just a popped fuse. I’d safely wager that was the original in-line fuse that was packaged with the unit some 4+ decades ago. I pulled the player out of its original shrink wrapped box when I installed it. Garage sales are wonderous treasure troves sometimes....
I'm still troubled by what I did for that Klondike bar...
Got my bicycle out, re-did the grips, put some air in the tires, and went on the maiden voyage of this year. I was afraid I might have forgotten how to do it, but then it is after all, just like riding a bike.
One of my dogs cornered a skunk in the side yard and got sprayed tonight while I was vHerfing in the garage. Had to whip up a batch of de-skunkifying spray and take care of that mess. The living room is going to smell of skunk for a bit.

You'd think they would learn. I had a dog once that loved to go to the beach and roll in rotting seagull. He'd come back intolerably redolent and proud of it. Maybe your dogs like the smell?
I took my lazy ass down to the river for a hike this afternoon, instead of the usual stroll around the block. The water was high because of a recent rainfall which was nice because it made those nice gurgling flowing water noises, but the trail was muddy in spots because of it. This is one of my favorite ways to recharge my batteries. Maybe I should lead an expedition as an activity during the Excellent Herf.
Got called in at 1115 last nite (my on call stint didn’t start till midnite) to fix a pitot tube heat issue my “cow-orker” couldn’t figure out. Got into the hangar, no one here, no written turnover, no idea what he’d done or taken apart. Great way to start the day on 45 minutes of sleep. I basically started at step 1 and troubleshot it down to a bad relay. Took me a grand total of 4 hours to shoot, fix, close up & get the paperwork blessed. Gettin’ too old for this late night partying....

Thanks....but it's not hard. Angry pixies in one side but not out the other when they oughta be is pretty telling. That and the wonderful aroma of fried electrical components. ..🤣🤣🤣

Decided to boycott the word "awesome".
Although I was compelled to put an "awesome" on this comment, I do have to admit that at times I find it overused, but, what the heck? We're just an awesome group.
Which brings me to a boring thought, I often don't respond to what I see on the "What are you smoking..." threads. Everyone is putting awesome, and it may well be, but half the time I have to look up the cigars that y'all are smoking. If I know the cigar, and think it's awesome, I put "awesome", or "like". But, heck, I don't know if it's awesome.
At this point many of you may think that this is the most awesome dry-beg ever, but it isn't. My cooler's full.
I must say, though, that watching the what are you smoking threads have introduced me to some stuff I wouldn't have otherwise tried. Most notably, @Usaf06 's love for BLTC got me interested, then someone sent me a Bishop's Blend, and Zowie! Awesome!

I kind of agree with this, but obviously taste is subjective, so I assume they like it which means it’s awesome for them at least. Sometimes I’ll hold off though if it’s something I think is just not good under any circumstances.

That sounds terrible.
Want to meet on the vher?
I haven’t hurt anyone’s feelings today......yet.
It ebbs and flows, goes with the territory.

Not quite spring yet...snowed again last night.

Yup. And my fly rod...
Took my princess out on a Daddy Daughter Date tonight.
Crab legs, ice cream and bowling made her day.
Got the Herfmobile running. Replacement power steering pump & hoses on hand, ready to go in. Gotta troubleshoot the 8-track player...it quit on me.

^^^I'm sure they have their reasons. Or, do they?
My crabapple is in full blossom mode, the grass is green, and the furnace isn't running hardly at all these days.

Perhaps it's the fact that said person is smoking a cigar that the viewer deemed to be awesome and had nothing to do with the cigar.
In other news:
I got my butt to the gym finally. Time to shed to covid weight and then some thanks to the free gym membership through my work.

If your having a cigar, that's pretty awesome.
I know, You're a big dog and I'm on the list.
