    Didn't make it to the Turd gen though. Currently enjoying this beautiful day watching football in the gee-raug.

    Ran the house on the Gen today.

    Even used the burner on the stove. Didn’t mind it to much. Not like my other one that sounded like it was going to take a shit.
    Few more tries.

    Mine was FREE....given to me about 10 years ago. Slap a $30 Roku box on it and it's as smart as the fancy ones. :D

    I was gonna do the yard but said screw it. Did a little exterior painting instead. Gotta replace some rotten brick moulding around the front door, which is going to snowball into replacing the storm door.

    *sigh*

    Dumped out the gas (ethanol) in my chainsaws and poured it into a can with about 1 gallon of 50:1 pre-mixed that I'll use up soon with the leaf blowers. That'll be the last of the ethanol in my Stihl equipment (2 chainsaws and 2 leaf blowers). Filled up the saws with the ethanol free I recently purchased and ran them for a few minutes circulating the fresh gas. Should be safe now for prolonged storage. I use the Stihl Ultra oil with stabilizer. It's good stuff.

    I love there's all kind of stations around here that sell 90 octane ethanol free. I don't even bother treating it, it'll last all winter. There's a station right down from work I'll put the can in the back of the truck and fill it up on the way home. Convenient not going into town that way. Actually filled up my 5 gallon can and my truck had 1/2 a tank so I topped it off. That was an expensive fill up o_O

    My Tundra has the 40 gallon tank. It's painful filling up. But, business expense.

    I fill up the 4th gen at around 3/8 of a tank so I feel I'm not using that much :laugh:

    It gets 25-27 mpg so it isn't too bad.

    They had 2 at limerock a few years ago.
    Went faster than I thought they would.
    Sounded like an old airplane…
    Looks nice…

    I have enough problems and that would really get me in more trouble.

    Our current TV (42" Sony) came with my enclosed 6x10 trailer ... almost 14 yrs ago. The trailer is in service out at Yeti Acres as a mobile maintenance shed these days ... the TV is still doing fine in the family room. :)

    Made good progress yesterday. One wall cabinet left, one base, and the dishwasher enclosure. Looks grey in the pic...but actually a pale green and the counter tops will be charcoal grey. Getting stainless steel appliances with a cabinet front door on the dishwasher.

    Having a cabinet maker build matching built- in into one of the other walls so it will intrude less into the kitchen
