Hot again. We might have gotten some rain overnight, it was in the forecast and there was some lightning in the surrounding areas… but it will probably still be hot.
Spent the day chatting with sibling and spouse. They are athletic and spent the morning jogging, and out on the kayaks. But it was HOT and humid so we spent the afternoon in the shade, just sitting.
I did do some more investigation into my sprinkler pump. It’s not holding prime. I may have to open it up and see if the impeller is worn out. The grass went from “could use some rain” to “dry and crunchy” in the last couple of days so I would really like to run the sprinklers.
The garden is still producing but if we don’t water it, or get some rain, it will be done soon.

Today will be about spending some time with guests before they head to the airport. Then I’ll do some work. Probably. But it will be small jobs.

It was great to have the community gather for the fireworks. Lots of people in the park, lots floating in boats to watch the show. Lot of flags and even some bunting on the houses I can see. Nice to come together.
Work on stacking some friends and neighbors. You’ll need them the most when things get tough.

There should be a one way valve at the end of the suction line. It holds water in the pump. That valve is probably bad or stuck open. The impeller has nothing to do with holding prime.

Outside McAllen, TX yesterday, we saw a Tonytruck with a blue enamel paint job pull into the parking lot of the restaurant where we stopped for lunch.
I thought those were only delivered with stainless finish. Someone spent $120k on their toy and then another five figures (guessing) on paint.
A lot of people stopped to take pictures.
Of course I did.
They only come in stainless – no colors. I bet it was vinyl wrapped, which would likely be low five figures too.
It sounds so nice. Unfortunately as the old guy who doesn’t go anywhere I am currently dog and cat and house watching for different people.
When i brought in the loaner
coyote chowchihuahuas last night there was a young female pit outside the fence, collar and leash wrapped around her torso.Probably got loose on the 4th.
I lured her into the yard with food, but can’t get near her. Probably debarked.
Don’t want to mix Cs and a Pit, and only one fenced area.
Tony Trucks showing up often but then this is California, I’ve seen many with color and most look like wraps. Seen lots of Tesla cars in non factory colors that also look like wraps. When leaving Yosemite on Monday saw a stainless Tesla hauling s highly polished Air Stream. Some people are just showing off.
BTW very hot here. 104F in Bass Lake for today. 114F at home. Air BNB get warm afternoon until sunset, AC just ain’t up to it and deck with beautiful view of lake gets afternoon sun.
Something else towed the Airstream to Yosemite.
I imagine that rental services for Airstreams exist in the area.
What I wondered about that TT was the 2 hour stop and crawl wait to get in the gate. Right now THE NPS has a required peak reservation system going and only two windows operating at the gate. We were headed out around 4 pm but the truck was just hitting the round about to head toward the valley, a 40 minute climb with a high elevation change then a drop. Maybe he going to recharge on the downhill side 😀
Of course the Greenies at the NPS have EV charges at the major stops.Saw lots of EV cars but only that one truck.
There should be a one way valve at the end of the suction line. It holds water in the pump. That valve is probably bad or stuck open. The impeller has nothing to do with holding prime.
– yes, I conflated two steps of tshooting. The one way valve seems to be working, I can put 40# of pressure on the pickup line, so that I can’t manually push the stopper up, and the seat and seal look good. Even with that checked, and filling the whole pickup line with a hose first, there doesn’t seem to be much if any suction when I start the motor, just about the same as a person sucking thru a straw. (I’m covering the fill port with my hand and I feel only alittle tug)
At the same time, the pickup line is suddenly no full of water, although I don’t see bubbles or movement at the one way valve. I need to get in the water and double check the check valve I guess, but there isn’t any way that this system could be that sensitive or it would never run right.

The latest set of burners for the gas grill are cast stainless steel. They cost a little more but they have so far been perfect. They aren’t rusting, for example. Like the originals and their replacement. They came with screens over the air intake ports. Third time’s the charm. No problems with spiders.
The side burner needs a screen. I know I have some scrap window screen. Where is the question. I found the fiberglass screening from the patio door, which is now metal screening. It’s in a “safe place” somewhere.
Meanwhile, cleaning the cobwebs out of the side burner is simple.
I was reading an article* in a classic car magazine the opened by referring to the Ford Edsel as the greatest flop in automotive history.
Not anymore. I think Ford still has #1, but it’s now the Ford F150 Lightning EV. Back calculating the CPI value of the $132,000.00 loss reported on each Lightning sale to May 1958, the midpoint of the Edsel adventure, yields about $12,000. Total sales of 116,000 and a loss of $350 million equates to a loss of a bit over $3,000 per car sold.
Sales to date–2022 15, 617, 2023 24,165, 2024Q1 7743–total 47, 525. If 2024 Q2 was on the same pace (7743), the to-date total is about 55,268. Noting that Edsel production totaled two years and one month, Lightning sales have been well less than half, with no adjustment for population.
Looks like Ford Lightning #1, Ford Edsel #2. There may be a top-10 ranking out there somewhere. Rivian, Fisker, and Lucid may yet lay claims for spots, with footnotes due to very low sales.
*The premise of the short article was that Ford would have been much better off buying Packard, which had a customer base, some good designs in production, and factories with working tooling.

8 times. At the White House.
Nothing to see here. Move along.
Ah, but the front of that Edsel, priceless. That would make the LGBTAOUDBAYURENZYI community go berserk today.
My grandparents purchased one when they were new. I remember the pushbutton shift selector. Initially hey liked the car but I don’t seem to remember them keeping the car very long.
My grandfather had a work truck, Dodge I believe. He bought it new with zero options. Floor button to engage the starter, no radio of course. What surprised me was he ordered it with no heater. That truck was as simple as one could get. One fan belt that drove the fan, water pump and generator. It was a six cylinder, the cheapest he could get and there was a lot of room in the engine compartment. Manual transmission, three speed on the steering wheel.
The wipers were vacuum operated, I think the brakes had vacuum boost, not really power brakes. I remember going up a hill in the rain while riding with him and the wipers just quit. That along with wiping the interior of the windshield (no defrost because no heater) and riding with him was an adventure.
What panels there were in the interior were just thin pressed cardboard. Manual windows with the triangular vents. It had a speedometer, fuel gauge and water temperature. Lights were dimmed with a button the floor. There were no turn signals and he had to use his arm to signal.
More than a few Edsels still run.
I doubt the same will be true of a first year Lightning in ~ 70 years.
Twenty would probably be a stretch outside of a Ford archive facility.
The Exploders like my wife’s are already disappearing after less than 10 years, and that drivetrain is a normally aspirated V6 with a six speed transmission.
Eleventy-one out.
That was barebones.
But SOTA even in, say, 1961 was amazingly barren. Looking at the stock dashes and accessories is a stark reminder of just how much wealthier we are today.
We haven’t seen a full fleet turnover with EVs. I doubt many will survive the first decision point regarding the battery replacement vs. trade.
The US is a much poorer country per capita than in 1961. Today, it is all about willingness to go into debt and a single digit percentage of the population doing extremely well being able to afford the $60k average sticker on an F150.

Pearls Before Swine: Rat The Luddite
https://www.gocomics.com/pearlsbeforeswine/2024/07/06
You just gotta wonder how many people are like Rat.
M grandfather had to special order the truck. He did have some sockets welded to the front frame so he could attach the truck to his road grader. He would drive the road grader from job site to job site pulling his pickup. He had a large diesel tank in the back that had a hand operated pump that he would use to fill his grader.
And safer. Those dashes were hard metal. The steering wheel column had a direct connection to the front axle. A front end crash would impale drivers. A 30 MPH crash may not be survivable when the passenger’s head left a dent on the dash.
Now a 45 MPH crash is walk away stuff. Personal experience. I have been involved in two of them. Bruises, minor burns from airbag, bruises from the seatbelt retracting, a cut on the hand from the hand being deflected by the airbag into the side window. The car was destroyed but the passenger compartment was quite intact.
Thus I am keeping my 2014 F-150. Every month or so the Ford dealer calls wanting to buy my truck or use it for a trade. They say that model and year is high demand, last one with the steel bed. I tell them I want $40K. They laugh. I say fine, that is what is worth to me. Take it or leave it.
I had a 40 MPH front-end crash in 1971 in my 1969 Barracuda.
It had shoulder belts, separate from lap belts, but the shoulder belts were too uncomfortable to wear. However, my passenger and I were pretty dedicated lap belt wearers.
He left a face-sized divot in the lightly-padded steel dashboard, broke his jaw and nose, and spent a couple days in the hospital.
The Barracuda had a new-fangled collapsing steering column, which ended up flattened all the way into the instrument panel. I broke my arm, trapped between my torso and the steering wheel.
If I’d been going 30 MPH, the drunk would have missed me. Instead of shooting into my lane, he would have shot across and ended up off the other side of the road.

“You’ve probably noticed the showers and thunderstorms—there has been a lot of thunder and a lot of excited dogs down my way—this afternoon. These storms are not directly related to Hurricane Beryl, but rather are due to a dying front meeting up with the sea breeze and having a party with the peak heating of the day. These storms should sag toward the southwest this evening before fading out by or before sunset. After that we can expect a quiet night, I think.”

A superior ventilation system that Detroit killed so they could sell more air conditioning upgrades. EPA and their mileage standards gave them an excuse. “It’s actually cheaper to run the a/c–you get better gas mileage.” Sure, after you spend and extra $400 for the a/c and then have to have it serviced every year. And only at highway speeds, not driving around town.

@paul
Never had to do exactly this, so I’m going to give you some ideas and let other people correct me or come up with better ones.
First step would be to prevent any charges on his credit card or other accounts. I doubt they would be legally valid in any case, but the main thing is to prevent any money going out.
If you try to call and run into a thicket, I’d have a script:
“What was your name again? Please spell it. Thank you. Is this a recorded line? Yes? Good. My name is Mr. _____. I am hereby informing you that Mr. ____ passed away on [date]. Any charges made by your company after that date will not be honored. Any charges after this conversation will be considered fraudulent and a complaint will be made to your company, the county attorney, the state AG, the FTC, and the BBB. I am the executor of his will and need your company address and the responsible person to send notice and a copy of the death certificate.”
Start with a blank spiral notebook. Put a number in the upper right corner of each page. Reserve the first 4-5 pages for a table of contents. On each page you use for an initial contact, write the company name, account number and contact phone number, Record time and date. When talking to a person at a company get their name up front. Ask them to repeat it and spell it. Take notes as you go, and don’t let them hurry you. Repeat back as needed and ask for clarification. Be polite–do not lose your cool. Do not agree to jump through their hoops. If you think that you are talking to a low-level person that is not helping, ask respectfully and firmly for a supervisor.
If you have control of the bank accounts and have not done so, cancel any automatic payments to credit cards. If you have not done so, talk to your bank manager about how to handle accounts. You probably need to open new accounts to prevent any future charges, so make sure that the account info shows that you are not a new customer, but have been a customer since the date the original account was opened.
Use the notebook for the banking stuff, too. When you’re under stress and make decisions it’s harder to remember the details without something to jog the memory.
Oh, yeah. When you make TOC entries, leave a line for adding additional page numbers. If you start another page for an account, start with a blank line. After the conversation, Fill in “Previous page##”. Go back to the original page and at the bottom write “Next page ##”
Here in “Far West” San Antonio, I apparently have the Weather Shield engaged; as the storms approach my neighborhood, they split and thundercells go north and thundercells go south, but we aren’t getting any rain. Yet, but I’m still hoping. My yard is starting to crack open, it’s so dry. Come on, rain! You can do it!
@Paul; we’re here for you, so post anything you like, and any of us who know about this stuff will suggest things.
No luck finding the dogs owner, nothing on local (physical) bulletin boards, NexDoor, Craigslist, Facebook, or County Animal Control (which is a link to PetCo).
The big local rescue is having their Saturday Petco rehoming thing so they aren’t available.
Its the weekend so the vets with free chip readers aren’t around.
Not sure I want to try to pick up a stray pitbull to bring it in, tbh.

The Collapse of DEI
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2024/07/the_collapse_of_dei.html
Don’t bet on it.
First, examine recent history. The Soviet Union collapsed. Clinton declared a peace dividend and spent it all on programs that keep costing us every year. Meantime, we have Putin trying to reassemble the Soviet Union, and we are knee deep in PLT’s that previous generations of Democrats and Republicans would easily identify as socialists, Including one senator and at least two fellow travelers in our intelligence community. I don’t get warm fuzzy feelings that any of them have any respect for our country or their oaths of office.
Second, companies and universities may reduce the number of administrative positions labeled “DEI”, but the organization is chock-full of dedicated apparatchiks busy infecting the next generation, as they were infected and the generation before them was infected. The disease spreads–it is not dead, and not even in remission. It will be back, and metastasize.
There will be no real progress until we start rolling things back. One of the first steps is to kill the universities:

@EdH
Don’t blame you being cautious about a strange dog. Post a photo on NextDoor and ask for help. There are groups that specialize in pitties.
I was required to keep a legal lab notebook for one class in college, and that training was reinforced when I worked corporate R&D. Those notebooks are bound in a technique called “Smyth sewn” which is similar to bound books: pages are sewn together with thread, then bookbinding adhesive is used to consolidate and attach the cover and other bits. The whole process uses pH-neutral paper and other materials.
For a project that has patent or other IP potential, the notebook is used to record any experiments, measurements, research, discussion, meetings, or any activity that is related. It has to be read, witnessed and dated by someone who can understand the material–usually a coworker not on the project. Most companies now use computer notebooks.
I use similar record-keeping procedures for many non-IP projects without the expense of the physical notebook (about $100 each last I checked) and without the witnessing. Comes in handy. My parents were both in hospital before they passed, and one of the first things I would do was get a new notebook. If family was there in shifts they would sign and date, then record lab results, nurse and doctor visits, etc. In every case the staff would ask and we would tell them that primarily it was a tool to keep family up to speed, but it was obviously potentially much more than that. With cell phone cameras being ubiquitous I would now have everyone take a photo of the their entries before they left.
@paul. for any non-financial stuff, the quickest way to deal with it is to get a red Sharpie marker, write “DECEASED – RTS” on the envelope and toss it in the outgoing mail. Eventually they will catch on. Oh, and also cross out some of the pre-sort code that gets printed by the PO (looks sorta like a UPC code. If not the automated sorters will blindly redeliver those mail-pieces to you.

My guess is that things just gradually come to a stop after a lot of unanswered demands.
My wife is letting two lots outside Branson, Missouri go to a tax sale since the costs are more than the worth of the lots. She even got a lawyer to look at doing a probate in Missouri (it would have been a couple of thousand dollars). We have gotten certified letters from Taney County, the HOA, etc demanding payments of over five figures for back taxes, road assessments, and HOA fees. The lots are worth $2,000 each on a good day. The tax people in Taney County even called my cell phone last week telling me that they are going to sale the lots, I said go for it.
Her dad paid off both lots at $55,000 each in 2012, now only one lot shows it has been paid off. Nobody has demanded payment on the land loan ever in the twelve years since my FIL paid off both lots. My wife has not made a payment to anyone in over two years: taxes, HOA, the road assessment of over $6,000, etc even though they keep on sending us demand letters.

And I hid from the heat all day. Read. Napped. After dusk I took down the bunting and decoration.
I did take down two lawn tractor-trailer loads of retaining wall blocks from the most shaky part of the wall. Stacked them on a pallet and I was done. Soaked to the skin. That’s pretty much why I took the rest of the day off. I will take some down on every trip as weather allows. You can move a pile of bricks if you carry one at a time every time you walk by…
I’ll get in the water and look at the sprinkler inlet tomorrow. We haven’t gotten rain up here yet, and the grass is crunchy. W doesn’t want to head home if it just means going into a storm.

In Greece, there are many tiny chapels on the top of peaks and high spots, most of them inaccessible other than on foot or by helicopter. The faithful ascend on foot to worship, and tourists to visit and look around.
There is often, at the foot of the stair, a pile of building materials, oil for lamps, and other items needed at the top, divided into grocery bags. The idea is that each person who climbs up carries a bag up with them. Over time, everything that is needed above finds its way up.

“Many hands like light work. ”
“So say you have been living together for 44 years after dating for two years. And someone, me, does all the banking stuff because that’s what I do.”
The phrase for that is “common law marriage”. As in, you get to claim you were married even though you didn’t go through the formalities.
How does all this shi(r)t work for dead folks that have no one at all to settle things?
In a word, “Probate”. Judges and lawyers get involved and decide who is legally entitled to the deceased’s assets (and charge the estate hefty fees for the privilege). Creditors get paid first, then heirs. (You can’t inherit a debt, but you also can’t borrow a lot of money and leave it to your heirs and have them thumb their noses at the creditors.)
The laws on all this stuff vary from state to state, and I’m not an expert in any state, so you’ll have to look up the details in your particular state, but this should give you some keywords to search on.
