    I did… but turning the lights off and on like a discotheque doesn’t work either. we tried wiring your chair up to 220v but decided that would just piss you off… so we’re just going to wait for you to fix or replace the compressor.
    we have one other question… can we buy new impact electrics? Or would you rather we just work overtime?

    The boots were delivered today. I have no idea why they were marked 2/3 off of their original price. The box had a small tear in it but other than that, they're brand new. I can only assume they were marked at $50 instead of $150. :D

    My Makita electric chainsaw was listed as "renewed" on AMZ, over $100 off the list price :).
    It shipped in a generic box but everything was untouched, brand new and sealed. :notsure:

    Morning all, woke up to pee early morning and heard a hiss noise in the kitchen. The water line running to the fridge had developed a pinhole and had been misting the kitchen for hours. Water everywhere. The water shutoff is in the dirt crawlspace, now mud. So I guess my Saturday just got busy. I'd rather be a proctologists test dummy than do Plumbing, but here goes.

    I get it…
    Put a shut-off where the line enters the kitchen. They make Teflon/Vinyl lines now that replace what was copper for water supply lines (for refrigerators/ice makers). Very flexible and pretty frost proof… limited headaches. I did mine several years ago and love it since. I can do all the service without all the water and trouble!

    Got the line replaced with some plastic/vinyl tubing (only thing available in town)

    Question for those more knowledgeable about Plumbing, are the sharkbite fittings ok? I've used them a few times and they are working ok so far but I'm wary of something so easy to use..

    I like them. I used them to replace most of the fittings in my house. Once they are on and sealed I've had no issues for 5 years and counting.

    Morning all, here’s a fun one. My sister is in the storage building business, and someone left this behind or didn’t pay rent or who knows what, but here it is at my house now. Don’t know if I’ll ever make anything of it but it looks kind of neat. E9BF42E7-16CD-42C5-90B7-982CCF60D123.jpg

    They work fine, they're just really expensive, at least around here.

    In cases like this my cheapness usually wins out over my laziness. :goingcrazy:

    My 1.5 year old never lets us sleep in. Thankful she's sleeping through the night mostly but up at 0600 sharp rain or shine.

    I did see that about X, I hope they are successful with their test launch. I don't follow the youtubers and the guys that really track Starship progress, but 39A is a ghost town around the starship tower compared to 2-3 months back. It doesn't look complete to me, but again I dont know. They may be doing assembly of parts and pieces at Hangar X area like they have been with the pedastals and moving them in place later.

    Already ripped out a bunch of fence early this am, raked a bunch of leaves, cleaned up think I'll relax here for a bit.

    I have bought A LOT :anonymous: of stuff from Amazon warehouse. Regardless of the detailed description of the imperfections, I would only describe one item as not in "brand new" condition. It's one of the world's best kept secrets. Footwear is a no brainer. People buy the wrong size and send it back after trying it on.
