. And it isn't even all that big a garden. Supposed to get some rain this afternoon. Seems unlikely at the moment given there is more clear than cloud up there. There is a severe storm warning over in NY with big hail. By the radar it looks to be heading this way. Hopefully we'll be on the edge of it rather than in the direct path. I don't need the garden pelted with hail.
....that reminds me of when we were kids.....we had a tv, a zenith in a metal cabinet....tubes in the back, type....the signals back then were a challenge and for some reason ya had to manipulate the v-hold adjustment.....it use to make my dad really Mad and he would walk up to it and whack the top with his fist and slam his hands against the sides....
....it lasted for yrs, but the cabinet was bent and dented from the whacking.....my dad wouldn't give it up til tubes got harder to find and transitors was the "way to go".....hey....ya just never know, I can't "swear" to it...but I have "followed suit" and done my share of banging....didn't work everytime, but was sure Thankful when it did....🤣
Everyone did that, it was how you "adjusted" the set! Though I don't think we ever bashed hard enough to dent the case. I recall going to SavOn drug store to test tubes and buy replacements for bad ones. I suspect a lot of people here on BYH do as well.
