Well it looks like the biggest snow sin was avoided. Do not walk or drive on unshoveled pavement, the tracks will be harder to remove.
Something tells me I'm not going to have water back on today. The guy who bid the job has not been here. I told the two who showed up what his plan was. Go a bit lower than existing pipe and 2 feet left and bore the hole. The sump/water line is in a finished closet and the initial boring bit is 5 feet long. Would have to knock a hole through the wall which I wasn't keen on. Instead, they decided to drop it down below existing pipe and run under it with a bit of pitch up. Gas and water lines both run together somewhat parrallel 5-6" apart. Likely original to the house and laid at same time in trench. Currently digging at the meter to expose the lines there, then they have to dig about midway to 2/3's the way from house to make sure boring bit is on target and redirect as needed. Original plan it would have been a simple dig, IMO, as they would be in clear ground, now they have to dig down to and expose both lines since they are going under them. Will be digging again about 2 fert or so behind backhoe and right track is somewhat on the existing lines.
Mrs. Noodles demands that the snowblower be stored in the attached garage in the winter. (It spends the rest of the year in the shed out back.) The only way to accomplish this is to park it in front of the cars, which means it's impossible to get it out without, you guessed it, pulling out of the garage and into the driveway, packing down the snow. Which really really sucks, because my driveway is on the north side of my house and completely shaded by the house all winter. Those damn ice patches can stick around for weeks, especially if it's too cold for salt to melt the ice. And I hate putting salt on my driveway. So probably 90% of the time, I end up shoveling (which unless the snow is deep and wet is not a big deal, the driveway is only about 600sqft) so then she pisses and moans about me never using the $800 snowblower she bought just because of one freak snowstorm that hit while I was hunting about 5-6 years ago. At the time, I told her to take it back and then she says, fine, but if it ever snows again when you are hunting you have to come home to shovel. ...so it gets put in the garage every year by mid-October.
My wife decided she'd put some time (15 or 20 minutes) in on the other side. Circa 1pm (note the control sample... Street already melting)
Nope, never installed Kodi, not on a stick anyway and when I did on computer was a computer yerago no longer being used.
Was a bit pessimistic, imagine that , they've got the redirect hole pretty much dug now. They angled it to the left rather than straight under the existing line. Damn compressor they are using for the boring bit shakes the whole house when it's engaged.
Nope, was probably 3 years before I ever got a firestick. I use an Nvidia Shield mostly, just use the firestick mainly to take PPV's and games to my brothers occasionally.
would be interested to know if you plugged them in and checked if there was malware. How to Check Your Fire Stick for Malware and Viruses (alphr.com)

Well the snow just may have beat me today started at 8:30 or 9 and just in at 12:55. I shoveled a path to get to heart attack work first...the plow dammed end then did to end of garden so delivery and mail could at least pull off road. Proceeded to the mail box. BTW snowing the entire time. Do that ,turn to work on drive more and there is 3 in. Of snow on what I just did....re-shoveled that then worked my way back to house. Gave up at culvert half way down. Cleaned around the garage door and tractor. Left snow on so you can see it wasn't the tractor I used... I'm thinking hubby just may have to finish with it when he gets home from work...we'll see how much I stiffen after lunch. STOP SNOWING!
not really my rant, but was in the grocery store yesterday and the lady ahead of me buys a GrubHub gift card. Cashier asks her how much she wants put on it, lady says $20. I snort-laughed out loud and she gives me a dirty look and carries on. I didn't say anything more, but you know how pissed I would be if someone 'gave' me a $20 GrubHub card? It's not even worth the time to scratch the code and type all that in, THEN if your order is more than $20 you have to enter in your regular card info on top of that And if it's for some secret-santa party crap where the gift value max is $20; just get a normal generic Visa pre-paid card so the recipient isn't locked in to $20 crappy soggy delivery food that may or may not have been spit (or worse) in it. Food delivery drivers admit to nibbling on your food, study finds (usatoday.com) I realize that may sound kind of pretentious and you might think, maybe it's all she could afford, but the lady also bought about $300 in wine. Like several $20-50/bottles of wine. I guess the rant is people who buy thoughtless gifts.
OND ...... WTF ..... There is a perfectly good JD tractor with a front end loader sitting in your driveway. Why kill yourself?
