test#97 Oh, my lord! I'm back after 5 months????? Well, hot da*n! I've missed y'all - I could see and read the newsgroups but not post-- verrrry frustrating! Meanwhile, I have posted a few things to a flickr account (tenman10mn is my handle there). Here's a link, though they don't always work with flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/28692493@N05/ And now I have to go outside as the temperature dips to 40 and bring the rupicolous laelias into the greenhouse. Going down to 36 tonight and as bad as the weather forecasters are here I wouldn't be surprised if it hit 32 and that wouldn't be too good for the laelias. They've been in full sun in the tomato patch all summer. I'm so proud of myself - got the shadecloth off (have to sort of almost dangle head down off the edge of the house roof for a half hour, scooching along and untying ties back up under the eave) and folded up by myself (it's larger than any remaining section of the yard) and as well got the pilot light on the main heater lit myself in only 15 minutes (took 3 hours with an assistant last year). The pilot is 16" deep and can only be accessed from the rear (against a wall - can't get around the exhaust stack and gasline to see). With a used heater and no manual it was rough going last year. This summer I drilled a hole into the front of the darned thing and put a little metal plate over it. Now I can reach in and do it from the front - while contorting my body to operate the pilot controls in the back! Of course it only took ten seconds to light the pilot on the backup Southern Burner! They should teach the other companies how to set it up! |
