I made a new juice tonight. Going to call it Banana Twin... Tastes just like the little debbie cake thing.
just ordered my first mod: Ovale v6 Variable Voltage Kit surfer is a good guy to deal with
Awesome little mod, but mine only lasted 16 days. The ground wire came off the atty connector. It is easy to take apart and put back together, so I'll fix it (or send it to markfm. LOL)
ugg don't scare me before i even get it. i just bought a 510 extender so i can use my tanks on it too 
Chelle2, a toilet is the easiest thing- basicly its unscrew 2 bolts, pick it up, put down a new wax ring reset the toilet and rescrew 2 bolts.. 
oh and hook up the water line.. LOL (unhook that BEFORE you take it out too)
I am still sweating here- I still swear its not a major repair on my AC- but they swear it is- I need to get out there and find the contactor- just to see- BUT, I did go and buy all the stuff to just run a 220 line from the breaker box, and we have a window unit that we can hook up- I fiqure we might just switch over to window units- It will be a little hard in the bedrooms, the only windows are facing the front porch, but I aint skeered to cut a hole in the wall and insert a window unit there.
since we have 9 months of 90-110 degree heat we have to be able to stay cool- I dont like to sweat... LOL
But this unit has been a pain in the .... since we bought the house.

Home repairs resume. Yay! Coffee is good, vaping is behaving, Liv is at school, Beth is cranky. Can't have it all I guess.
Have a great day PIF!

Yowsa, getting near the end of the week
The working on house projects stuff comes from days of yore. I was Marshall in our fraternity, which meant organizing work projects on the house, so even though I didn't know much about any particular activity I got to learn from the people who did know about different things. 20 years later, when I bought my own place, it was an "oh, yeah, I kinda remember this" moment. I've never gone crazy on tools, but would look at any given thing that came up, figure out what the tool cost was to do it myself, the degree of difficulty, ended up slowly acquiring things, tackling bigger projects. The addition was a big project, but likely cost about 1/3 what it would have been to hire it out, and I know the end result was solidly built, no corners cut; I did pull a proper permit for it, but didn't bother having the inspector come by after the second inspection point -- he saw that I drew up plans that were nicely detailed, and on the first two inspections (foundations and rough framing/deck completion) saw that I really was putting in extra safety margin on everything I did, spent time checking on some things that he wanted to use for future reference as good ways to do things. When he saw the gazebo down in the glen he just shook his head and smiled, since that one I hadn't done a permit on (an advantage to living outside of main cities/suburbs -- codes officers can be pretty reasonable about things )

I am soooo glad to live where I do- I aint got to permit for NOTHIN- barns, smokehouses, porches, a new house, NOTHING. If I want it, I build it. I can fly all 6 flags of Texas over my house and noone cares- can paint the house purple with blue polka dots and a HOA cant say a thing about it, Let my lawn get 2 foot high and turn the goats in to eat it. noone says a word- well except folks tend to stop and ask if I sell the goats. -
Technically we are supposed to get an inspector to do a septic system. BUT, I am NOT paying someone $5,000.00 to dig a hole, lay a line and put in a tank, so I was able to skip that too.
I am in the middle of planning a 3D archery indoor tournament- I just hope I can pull it off
