    The water is warm, 16' at the end of the dock still too warm for beer.

    If we wanted warm beer, we would move to Yirope.

    Just busting balls.

    I had the same issues. Living room came out great.

    The hallway wall messed up my measurements. I have 3 bedrooms and the hallway as one layout-no transition cuts for doors. Ended up with a 1.5" pc as the "starter' strip in the hallway.

    I plan on having all my contracts nice and tidy. However this problem has a good solution, spill a cup of coffee on the laptop purely out of shock when I receive the notification.

    Delivered today, finally. $80 for a $5 part replacement part and they didn't even include a new antenna. Was a bit of solder and patience required once I found the part number so not overly upset.

    Back to listening to the dumb asses being reported. Did have a holy chit moment earlier. Put batteries in and connected to wired power supply to make sure everything was working right. Ran to the store afterwards and when I got back I heard people talking inside when I opened the door, had a mild heart flutter before realizing what it was :lol:

    KONG'S!!!!!
    Thank God I lost weight because I went to the bathroom and shut the door. A.J. Then dropped his Kong against the door near the hinges. I go to open the door and all I have is an 8" space and 5" at the door knob. I Just couldn't move that door and A.J. refused to move his Kong. I believe I may now have a door knob shaped bruise on my butt!

    Saw an idiot (well actually many) driving west on 94 had a Bernie sticker and a stop line 3 bumper sticker. Where do these idiots think the gas they put in their cars comes from? I mean how stupid is that logic? Stop the flow of crude oil and I am going to drive my car around to protest it burning the very product the pipeline provides.

    ^^^ A sad fact is that with things the way they are today, people can say or do incredibly stupid things and it isn't as shocking as it used to be. I am becoming almost numb to stupidity.

    So my rant is pretty self induced. I needed a new bar for my chainsaw, I want it in a hurry so I went to Northern Hydraulics. I picked up an Oregon bar 20" with the specs that met my husquvarna saw the package even said it fits my saw. I get it home and put the new bar and chain on and something is not right. I bought the wrong chain, that's on me. I tried to put my old chain on the bar and the chain is way too long. I compared the 2 bars the 20" oregon bars is actually only 18" it is even stamped 20" on the bar. Pissed I hate Oregaon bars and Northern hydraulics.

    Am I turning into an ******* or is all clothing, shoes, and boots made like **** now? Why can’t I buy 38x34 pants at rural king? They had a decent supply of 54x28 though. Went ahead and got the 38x32 thinking they’d be alright. Not only do they not fit length wise, they don’t fit anywhere else besides the waist. My running shoes are shot, $160 didn’t last a year. Well, guess I better get to running so I don’t skip 40x34’s and go straight to 54x28s
