    This is just a reminder Harry, from a guy who unfortunately sits down for a living due to my job. whatever chair you are going to purchase please make sure that you sit in it first And do not go off of what other people say Or any type of reviews. every single person is going to be different whether they have different weight, height, back problems, either upper or lower, and what you are going to be using it for and how long you are going to be sitting in it. For me, I needed something with a lot of Lower back lumbar support but also something that was gonna support my weight. I generally go through chairs about once every 4 to five years. if you can get something with a lot of different types of adjustments it is really the best way to go. mesh is going to be more comfortable and more supportive but also too it's going to be more fragile and wear out quicker.

    Dad used to have a battery strap, you hooked it to each post & lifted the battery out. Worked well. I should look for it in his basement & steal it next week :-D
    Taco's battery has sounded a touch slow on some recent random cold mornings.

    Anyone have any experience with paint sprayers. Going to be replacing all interior doors and trim/baseboard this winter. Don't want to paint everything with a brush. Going from stained hollow doors to white solid core. Setting up a makeshift paint booth in my garage to avoid overspray on garage items and so I can use electric heater inside the booth for warmer environment for paint to dry. Never used a Sprayer before. Can anyone recommend one or have any tips?

    I'll probably just wear a suit, although I need to buy a dress shirt. My only dress shirt doesn't fit me any more. It must have shrunk in the wash. ;)

    Good morning CT.

    Hope to get some stuff done on the truck today. I had a bunch of other stuff pop up so I think I'll only be able to install the relay box. We will see.

    Snowing here. A light coating over everything.

    About 1/2 to an inch now and it's still snowing. I get to see how the Toyo's are that @crashngiggles recommended.

    They're very good in the snow. I ran a set for 2 years and had no issues.
