    I tried that as well. Also no luck. It's clear there's a major obstruction in there as that bottom pipe and evap tray were bone dry.

    Is anybody else a little bummed that they made it through 15 years of primary school and never got to experience a full-fledged everybody in the lunchroom style food fight?

    You know how when you are a couple pages before the end of a thread and you post something on here and it randomly shows you a couple posts from the last page of the thread... well this is the post it just showed me.... I really wasn’t expecting that it was about a refrigerator.

    Not so much a rant but I waited for shift change this morning, 5am to 6am, and took a quick spin around the City. Wide open roads, so nice.

    MN DNR forestry has shut down all prescribed burn permits, I was going to burn a couple areas that I have not mowed in a few years. Funny I was talking to a former associate and mentioned that a few neighbors were burning during the day. He asked if I wanted him to go and hang some paper on them. I told him hell no I have broken the chains and have the screw the DNR mindset.

    People who complain about light pollution while living in the city are as bad as the people that drive to a pipeline protest. You use it weather it is lights or gasoline yet you complain about the byproduct that you are part of causing.

    I'm sure someone here will know.

    Is this Bull Thistle? It's a pile of them.

    Since my previous neighbor, 3 years ago decided his back yard was better served as a jungle I have not been able to get these things rid from my yard.

    I use a root puller typed tool, not sure if it just isn't getting all of the root or if there's seeding plants out of my yard replenishing them every year. Think I just pulled about 50 of them today. They looks like fuzzy dandelions tucked tightly to the ground.

    So started with cutting up some branches and burning the pile, got done with that so I moved down to the lower shop to burn another small pile. Then I decided oh what would it hurt to burn a little grass, got about a 1/4 acre burnt before somebody called in an out of control grass fire. Friend of mine called and let me know the call was in, I had all the fire out was sitting by the burn pile in a lawn chair while I watched the the VFD chasing their tail trying to find the fire. They eventually made it to my house and they could see the burn area and asked me how I got it put out, got lucky I guess. Sometimes it is better to act stupid and let them go away than tell them what you were really doing.
