The poor old girl has had a hard life & with 143k on her she’s no spring chicken & has become a bit clunky & extremely surgy and quite frankly a bit too much weight for simple commuting on the roads I take. She does provide much greater protection from Inclement weather tho. I sure don’t miss her in the Summer as Sparky offers more ventilation and doesn’t direct ICE dissipating heat towards you like she does. 1 Link to comment

BrianT Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Seen on my run through the neighborhood today while the sun was out between storms. I'm assuming somehow related to the cats being eaten by the coyotes in the neighborhood. Otherwise, no idea what they're trying to say. There was a second cat skeleton behind the regular skeleton. The L.A. River flowing like a real river. Could've body surfed on that continuous wave. 4 Link to comment

TEWKS Posted January 9, 2023 Author Share Posted January 9, 2023 The key to success AKA the Weddle Tool. A couple more (guessing) 2K doors and they’ll start leaving us a master key in the building’s Knox Box. Link to comment

Ya, I saw that too,...a pipe bottle jack with handles and feet at both ends. Wonder if I can weld some handles to a hi-lift jack, put some feet on the top and bottom, then mark it up a crapton of %, then pimp it to FD's across the nation as a discounted Weddle. 1 Link to comment

When on vacation, especially in Belize, saving money takes a back seat! I always look at it like this, in a year, I'm not going to miss that money, but if I didn't have a good time, I would certainly miss that! I've had bills twice that big going to dinner locally. I'm a lucky man to be able to splurge on silly things once in a while. Link to comment

C'mon man,.......I'm documentin' something here 45 minutes ago, ESokoloff said: Looking good Thanks. So, 'tween the subfloor and the brick, is about a four-five inch gap. All what was in the gap was rolled fiberglass insulation. No wonder I get rat snakes in the basement area, gaps under the old cedar and vinyl siding easily lead into the basement. So, I took some foam and styrofoam that I had, cut to fit, then sprayed with foam (did this on the right side of the chimney too). Covered the gap with scrap hardiboards. Hopefully that will seal off access.......ugh. I will end up getting some more frothpak to finish spraying the sill area throughout the rest of the house,........it's on the project list.
