    What's under your lip/in your nose right now? - Part 2

    I forgot to mention the transformation with Jake. Since I posted about going without the lead walking him next door and then turning on the collar. he just kept getting better. I still don't know what he'd do on the road with cars passing, but he was doing so well that I stopped using the...

    Yeah, I get that totally. I was real apprehensive in attempting it, particularly since my friend didn't want to handle it and he was the most talented guy I've ever known. I had so many areas that needed repair that I was feeling pretty confident by the time I was finished. The one big one...

    I don't know what came over me, but I made a few sheetrock repairs that came out great. I also had a drop stairs put in my hallway to access the attic space in the back of the house. My friend who passed put it in, with me as the helper, put them in but none of the drywall ever got repaired...

    That's a fancy ceiling. I just say them building one on 24 Hr Flip. It's a new show where this couple buys and then turns trash into treasure. I think they're from NY. Apparently my gf's nephew has something to do with the show but haven't figured out how. The husband picks up properties and...

    Hitt, I've got one still in the box that my gf got from her friend that passed away. The thought of replacing the one already there with my bad shoulder has kept it in the box nd had me fining an LED floor lamp that seems to have quieted her desire to have the fan with light installed. I've...

    What a great week. After battling with Jake, my rescued Labradoodle, for nearly four months, he's finally getting it, other than understanding where he's supposed to pee and occasionally pooping. I've been taking him next door to play with my neighbor's rescue. We have the same invisible...

    Boy it's dead in here! I'm a couple hours from my last cigarette 12 years ago. I felt better when I was smoking but that has more to do with the ravages of years than the condition of my lungs.

    How are you doing Hitt? Hopefully you're over the worst of it.

    Well, I played plumber today. Kitchen sink has been running slow lately and almost not running at all this week. Best investment ever is that HF, Bauer power snake, much better than the Rigid I bought earlier that wouldn't go around tight bends. I'm probably going to sell the Rigid as the...

    The bigger question is whether PM will screw up General Mint.

    The back of the cans I bought last year says manufactured in Sweden and distributed by Swedish Match from Richmond VA.

    That was the pond issue but that was easy to analyze since the GFI (yeah a "c" belongs there but I think ground fault indicator) was exposed to the weather since they resided the house. They never put the cover on the box and I never complained about it. I just needed screws, I thought, but...

    Thanks for the birthday wishes. I'm trying to grasp being 3/4 of a century old and realizing I won't be around for the finish of that last quarter. My gf's that she visited every few weeks to do some housekeeping and visit didn't make it. He passed away the previous weekend and she went to...

    I use Smok Nords almost exclusively these days. Of course I'm not a vaping wizard like Hitt. As to our earlier discussion on electric, it's still not resolved, just handled. After my last post when I thought I had it resolved, it happened again. I resolved it by unplugging everything from...

    Well, I think it was crazy GF as opposed to any other issue, at least for now. Once she woke up and plugged in the heater behind the set of drawers (I don't twist real easy these days), I plugged the new power strip in, no issues. I plugged in the two other things she previously had plugged...

    Yeah Hitt, that was my thought too. What's strange is I went back to see if she wanted to work on getting the space heater, that she should have used instead of the one she did, plugged back in. It was plugged in behind a bureau that's really a pain to move. She has this habit of loading all...

    Had a weird one tonight. My gf said she tripped a breaker in the bedroom. I went out and checked the breakers, nothing tripped. I couldn't remember ever tripping one there so I wondered if perhaps the BR was on the subpanel in the basement, nothing tripped there. Lights in master bath were...

    How did you make out Burnie, if/when you get electric back if you lost it? From where you marked on the map, you hopefully missed the worst of it. I have friends that moved down there late last year and bought a house in Rotunda West on one of those peninsulas where it got pretty bad. They...
