I accidentally fell asleep on the couch watching tv (trying to stay up until DH can take over watching the rain) and saw it was time for DH to get up for work. I jumped up, ran to the kitchen and made coffee. About the time it started brewing I realized it was Saturday 
Lake Garland has receded and canal street is only flowing along the gutters. Hopefully we don't get any more of that crazy sideways blowing 1" per hour downpour. It blew open our side gate and either the wind or the flood pushed our trashcans right on through. Unfortunately, trash pickup isn't until Monday so we had to drag them back in
Is it time to stalk the mailman yet?

Well just went to Rob's site and see there are only 11 woods left on there available. Glad it was a great sale night for him. Hoping everyone got the wood they wanted!
Quick question I am having problems the first time with my Reo Grand. It is not firing properly. I have filed the pin and used Noalox. I am thinking the pin is not making enough contact with the nipple on the battery. When I push he button and the pin comes down it is just barely coming down below the black casing. I know most of the pins have the slight V shape and this is almost flat. Wondering if it has been filed down way to much. I messaged Rob and he told me he thinks it is not cleaned well enough and of course he would be happy to look at it but hate to bother him. I know he is going to be swamped shipping all you fine folks out there woods. Has anyone had to replace the pin because it has been filed down to much?
Make that 10. (I seriously need to stay away from the website for awhile !
It could have been the old man nap you had? There really wasn't anything exciting going on last night was there?
Do you have a button cover on the button? Mine was down a bit too far so it wasn't pushing the pin far enough. I removed it and reapplied it and all is fine again. Or maybe it was just manipulating the thing, either way it worked.
If you are using a button cover make sure it is not pushed down too far on the button. That will make the button not push enough on the contact strip.
Remove the button cover and put a little piece of paper or dental floss up in it before putting it back on.
Now I feel really good about writing what I did! If Karen agrees, it must be so.
It took me 2 days of my poor REO misfiring to figure that button cover thing out
Karen, did you get any sleep at all?
I managed to sneak in a few hours. Apparently my sentry duty worthiness is nil.

The tornado alert in my area has been lifted. It is the calm before the 2nd half of the storm and DH is awake so I can officially go to sleep
Have a great day everyone, stay safe and warm!
ETA: DEN, did they lift it near you? They had funnel clouds 20 miles NW of Sacramento right along the 5...

Good morning everyone. Did you survive sale night? Hope everyone was lucky!!!
I don't know how much I slept. I went to bed I think three times! Each time I laid there with my mind still going. I am guessing I slept a little then woke up.
I am tired and my brain feels numb!! Trying to stay up for awhile and hopefully get some more sleep a little later.
I just don't know!
Good morning Reoville!
I feel about like you do Karen...my body and brain are numb! I tossed and turned all night, getting up to check my Paypal, see if i got any emails from Rob, etc., looking at the mods I think i scored.
I need about three days to recuperate!Even as I'm typing, visions of the curly oak and cocobolo are filling my head. I've never owned a brand new wood before.Nor dreamed I'd be quick enough to get even one, never mind three. But the third one was a mistake cuz i thought i'd missed the second one
And they're all pure wood so I get to lovingly stroke them with Howards!
NOW I understand the excitement of Woodvil sale night!
More coffee...I need more coffee.....
thanks to Curbotad's input last night, I took a pic on my phone then downloaded it for this avatar. It doesn't begin to show the glory of this wood tho.
Next I'll try to do the curly oak, after I've recuperated...in about a week

Bingo Girls! It was only the button cover! Dummy me! Thank you both! Should have checked that.
I just checked my mailbox, nothing I'll check again in an hour.
Keep the door for variety!
Lies! No need to hide them from us, we all got some last night (did that sound bad?)

Did you see the post on how to check your orders on reosmods? You can feel a little better when you see your order there.
