Good morning Ford Fans!

Kind of cool this morning 41° they say mid 60° today.

I have a few things I want to take care of outside but I'm hoping to get some shop time in this afternoon.

Happy hump Day Washington, Tim, 350 Ken, Ken, Steve and all the crew. It is a nice early Fall Day in my woods and the rest of the week looks to be the same.
Not much going on today other than fixing lunch, running down to the Sammich Factory to see a few of the people then to Mom's for the night and go to Bible Study spend the night.
SO, you may not see me until tomorrow evening.

Tomorrow will be about 80° and mostly sunny and Friday will be the same and that should make it a great day to do the yard work that has been neglected for months!

I hope everyone has a great day as the Humper and not the Humpie!

Sounds like you also have the same issues that Sun Cove residents had to deal with 15 years ago or so when the gov (fed??) got involved in the private water system there. They now must report usage and were required to get leakage below a certain threshold.
Wasn't directly involved but I heard about it.

Hi Ken, Yep sounds the same. It's been three years now, we got all the meters in this spring and found out just how much water we were losing. We have fixed a few of the leaks, caused two of them and still have at least one more. We are not losing as much as we were, but still more then the 10% the state would like us to be at. I have it isolated to a section we have dug on before. We are planning to dig on it on Friday.
