    Well Bob I am using that whip a cracking and retorting I found a taxidermy mount on e-bay of a squirrel giving the double fingers. Many wives would say hell no, not in my house yeah well it is a fraction of the cost of a rock, and who doesn't need a mount like that?

    Nut punch number 2.

    Yesterday our furnace would not light. System stays in purge mode, doesn't ignite and then shuts down.

    Service guy comes out and looks things over. Gets it running and tells me that he is not 100% sure what is wrong but "gut" feeling is the capacitor (I think that is what he said) is going bad. $400 bucks on a gut feeling? Says run it awhile and see if it does it again before replacing part.

    Because I was in the office so early, I wasn't home when the furnace should have kicked in. Get an expletive laden text from the wife informing me the furnace was out

    My Ranger has been at the dealer for repair since 12/7/20. Waiting on an exhaust pipe. I finally ordered one and it arrived last night.

    Given my last 2 posts, what's the over/under it is the correct pipe?

    1:15 PM! That is when I will be home to meet the furnace guy. Screw it. Not going back to work when he is done.

    Will continue working on my basement project. Got my new LED lights in-all the wiring buttoned up. Start on the new ceiling tile next.

    5000 lumen light set on "daylight" setting in my work area. WOW! Almost could.

    Went from 6 can flood lights to 2 LED's 2x4 foot.

    Garage will be next. Thinking of putting some in that have built in blue tooth speakers
