I'll take care of that for you...


Gas prices are insane, and man made global warming is a myth.


Have at it Ricky.

I was just looking over the Members list and checking out the post ratings. Do you guys realize that the top 14 posters are all guys?

Hey ladies, where ya'll at. Holla' back gurls!!!

[Frog]

I'd rather have a poster with a woman on it.

Just got back from watching Spiderman 3 at an 11:45PM showing. If I knew the movie was gonna be like that, I would've waited. Very strange twist in direction....

[almo]

I like cheese.

Just sitting here at school, waiting for number one and only son to finish with the SAT. He's on 100% extended time, so we get to come back again tomorrow. Also converted all the spandex shots (school dance team, classes and senior portraits) to B&W for the printing of their program.

Preparing for the third funeral service of the week. Lost a colleague along with a father and a grandfather of two of my students. Three deaths in three days all related to different types of cancer. Kept me busy and off the boards for the week.

Washed out the fridge and threw away anything expired. Not too much this time, usually there is much more. Took my youngest to her first Tae Kwon Do lesson this morning, she looks so cute in her uniform. Made the girls help me plant morning glories on the hill (read, made them do it while I watched). Debating about starting anything else on my spring cleaning list...

If I don't, who will?

Also, I justed added my "what we do" on the gas prices thread...

Okay..here's today so far.

I drywall puttied more in our kitchen. All the drywall is up, just a matter of goop. Sent orders off to print, checked on stuff I'm waiting for. Ribs into the crockpot so we can eat some dinner. My youngest starts TaeKwonDo today, my oldest has Girl Scouts right after school, and I have bosu and kickboxing tonight. Made lunches so everyone can eat during the day, and have laundry going.

Still to do...finish drywall goop, laundry, and general cleaning. Monday is usually cleaning day. Debating about giving the dog a bath. She has allergies, and we are not sure what they are, but the dr suspects beef and/or weeds, so we've cut beef out and try to give her a bath once a week to keep the itching down.

I'm pretty sure that my 12 year old golden is allergic to Florida. What the heck is Bosu? I'm at school updating computers and getting our weather station back on line after updating its computer. Just nailed a freelance gig with a producion house that does everything from weddings to events. I'll be teaching the owner how to do some things better and learning a bit about Macs and workflow on Final Cut Pro so I can teach it to my kids next summer. Met the owner at one of my daughter's dance recitals. Need to go and get some lunch in me.

[adina]

bosu stands for both sides up.

It's a half ball on a base, you exercise on it. Looks like the easy button from staples. You can use both sides as the base.

[almo]

I'm kinda shaped like a BOSU. You wanna use me for now on?

[adina]

I just choked on my lunch. Too funny!

Rewiring !

Found some old installation left over from the last rewiring in the 1970s.
When British Standards were in two digit numbers.
When they used rubber insulation on the wires, and natural fibre covers, with twisted stiff wire.

I was putting in a new light fixture in the bathroom. The first thing I did wrong was not turn off the electricity. Second thing was probably using an aluminum ladder. There was no current coming through the wires to the fixture, so I got them rewired to the new fixture with no problem.

But then I started rescrewing the fixture back into the ceiling. Almost there only a couple more turns. The last turn managed to go through a main electrical feed line....:aureola:

Things lit up like Christmas, but I was lucky to be using a rubber handled screw driver.

I don't even mess around with which swith to throw when I do electirical, I just throw the main, Ronnoco. You are lucky.

Right now I'm eating a grilled cheese sandwhich and resting from all the yard work I did today.

Yup. By the way, the screw I was using melted.

I hate when that happens. I made the mistake of trusting a friend who said power was off to two legs of a 220 line I was installing. While stripping the wires, I arced a pair and flew across a garage for my trouble. Took a nice divot out of a brand new pair of linesman pliers. I always have a meter in my toolkit and check the lines after I personally kill the breaker, just in case I have another senior moment.

Having a nice 44 OZ Slushie from Speedway.

Wondering how I should handle this new tripod I got from B&H....one of the tightening knobs was broken although I can still use it.....it just sucks to get something broken.

Mail order saves you money and/or taxes but returning anything is hell.

I hate doing electrical work....I always have someone watch me in case I fry myself and need emergency assistance.
