Most current and good pics are on hubs phone (my phone is on it's last legs) I will grab them tomorrow and post. They are getting big. Hank is now 8 months has grown into his ears, and Clifford is bulking up nicely :)

Wow! How did you find the BP through all the Korean ideographs?

On that recliner, yeah, I've learned my lesson. Too many times I've spent too much time and too much money trying to *jury rig something almost as good as genuine part.

*jury rig. That's how I learned it. In text, I see it's usually jerry rigged. You know what I mean.

I've got a feeling the early morning mods are going to have a fun filled day on deletions.

Yes, I am a cheapskate.

I guess I am one also. My family calls me McGyver junior... I recently made a new wheel for my outdoor vac out of a pvc end cap, I made a new end handle for a steam mop out of wood and pvc tubing and I ground a stove insert from a thrown away stove on the side of the road to repair mine that works just fine, but the firewall insert had rusted away.

Parts are just not available today or they cost almost as much as the entire assemble. We are a throw away society and I am not a throw away person. If I can get more life out of an item without replacing it - so be it...

Several years ago the front seal on our front end load washing machine got cut by a key that was left in a pocket of pants - they wanted $130 for the new seal. A bicycle tube repair kit fixed it. Worked great for 5 years until the motor seized up - now it got replaced...

This was a weird one. I nailed an unregistered supplier and deleted all his posts. For some reason, upon deletion, they all pointed back to a Social Group. We're still looking into why it happened. I fixed this thread by moving it elsewhere, then moving it back to reset the database pointers to the proper location.

OK. This thread is fixed. Post away folks!

Much thanks ... I missed my morning BP fix. Actually had to go out before the heat of the day comes on and finish up some tree trimming instead.

Lol...when I was denied access to the BP but no other threads, i thought i was banned!!!! I tried to recall if I used my normal cuss words , or the more "graphic" ones ,looked back thru my posts and didn't see any,
so I couldn't figure out what I'd done so wrong as to get banned.
Thanks, thought I got thrown off the porch for drunk and disorderly conduct

    I was outside for a bit today, but mostly inside nursing a terrible, miserable, awful cold. Haven't been sick in such a long time so guess I'm due. I did make some wonderful granola for snacking so something got accomplished, and then I napped. Can't type much with my eyes closed.
    oh no........sorry yur sick. Hope you are much better very soon. Wish I could send ya some for reals

    Not rain, they were "upgrading" the tower according to the tech hubby finally managed to talk to. Had to go into town and another tower to connect. No improvements we can tell.
    figures. glad it's back on now though.

    The leg rest only worked in the fully up or down position, no mid positions. Last night I finally turned the chair upside-down and found out the part that allows the mid positions was worn. The parts are plastic and a groove was worn in the part that allows the two mid positions. Today I went to the workshop and brainstormed a solution. Yes, I am a cheapskate.
    Well aren't you smart.......and newp not just a cheapskate, like Semi said, we were all taught not to just toss stuff out. We were green before there was such a thing! hehehe

    It was for the vape bench, I'll snap a pic tomorrow.
    kewl!

    Just pointing out, you don't really need to go through all that. Lazy boy's mechanism is guaranteed for life. I had problems with mine and all I had to do was give the local store a call.
    oh kewl. I think I knew that a long time ago but had forgotten.

    I have done so much for so long with so little that I am now fully qualified to do anything with nothing.
    Jup! that's been my motto for a long time.

    hehehe jup was hopin it was the transporter, but dunno if he'd do that outta wood

    We're aware of the issues with folks trying to post in this thread and are looking into it.
    Was that that vapedules guy? I noticed his posts were deleted. He is following me and at least one other from this thread.......is there a way to stop someone like that from following you if you don't want them to? I did notice there was a report button, but dunno if mods can get stop someone from following you.

    Just a quick post, they decifered the address and my flavorings are out for delivery this am. Have to do a mandatory update to my SS1 so will be at that for about an hour. Later.
    yay!!
