Older Folks and Vaping Back Porch - Part Three

I can't. They look identical.

I'm guessing you're not able to view the full URL, because one of them says back porch and the other says front porch but it's quite a few characters before it gets there.

I can also hover my cursor over the tab, and the full description will show in a drop-down.

Yes-- the url thingy. I am on Chrome, but I am more comfortable with big print.

I successfully completed a rewarding task this morning, before it got too ridiculously hot outside:

Repaired a broken plastic 5/8" outdoor water pipe that was spewing water for the past week or so. The pipe runs about 75 feet underground from a t-joint where the water enters my house, and connects to a frost-proof spigot by my carport. Fortunately I didn't have to dig the whole line up, because the leak was where it connected to the base of the spigot. I cut off the leaking section of pipe and re-attached it. Couldn't have done it without my trusty propane torch; basically a necessity for getting the old piece off the joint and sliding the repaired pipe back over that same joint.

So it wasn't a huge job but still, got 'er done without needing to enlist help!

glad you were able to fix it, but dang hope that's from a well or something like that, so you don't have a ginormous water bill

Bells beat me to it - resting the pointer on the address bar will pop up the full url - at least in Firefox. Don't know about Chrome.

Extremely clever remark... almost went right over my head but fortunately I had read a comment at the place I stole the picture from, that let me know that the graphic's words were parodied from Dune.

Been a Frank Herbert fan for many years, and without looking it up, it appears to be a direct quote. Only the kitty action is parodied. (We once had a deaf cat who LOVED to be gently vacuumed. Easier than brushing!)

I'm very proud of my daughter. Yesterday she finished replacing the ball bearings in her front wheels. It took her a couple of weeks off and on to remove the old ball bearings, get a shop to press the new ones, and replace them and get the car back together.

So, about $150 in parts and labor compared to about $1000 to get someone to do it for her. She does most of the work on her cars herself.

As a result, we now have 2 cars to drive, and I'm not riding the bus anymore. Yay, Melinda!

Awesome indeed. I looked under the hood of my '03 Focus and realized that for the first time in my life, I was going to need professional help to replace a headlight. Fortunately, the original's have lasted twelve years and counting

Silly. Headlights are removed via the muffler...

So there's this very successful doctor who, after decades of work in the local hospital as chair of the OB/GYN department, decides that malpractice insurance is too high, and managed care payments are too low, so he retires. After three days of hanging around the house, the wife tells him to do something with his life, so he goes to the local trade school because he always wanted to work on sports car engines. He progresses quickly through the course and a month later he's elated when takes the final exam (which is to tear down and rebuild a Corvette engine), and he's given a 150 point score.

Puzzled, he asks the instructor for an explanation.

"Well," says the instructor, "you completely disassembled the old engine without losing or breaking any parts, so that earned you a '50' point score. Then you cleaned and reassembled everything correctly, so that's worth another '50' points."

So the doctor asks, "And what about the additional '50' points?"

The instructor said, "Well, I thought you deserved extra credit, because I've never seen anyone do it all through the exhaust pipe before."

Loss of a GREAT surgeon!
