    We are supposed to get 7+ inches of snow tomorrow. I’m laying low…

    My snowblower is still in the shed and the lawnmower is out in the snow!

    I've never heard of this before.
    Refinery snow.
    Apparently a plant in Menomonie was the cause of E.C snowfall today.

    The furnace ended up being this 'thermal probe' that goes up by the igniter.
    Just have to pull it out and clean it with some emery cloth.

    Years past, the furnace condensation drain would get backed up.
    Need to pull the lines and blow them out.

    I wound up with TCL because it was a good deal. I hope I don't regret it, but the reviews are good.

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    Once I went beyond 60” I went to a projector. I’ve got a short throw 4k and it’s been great. So much easier than trying to transport a huge tv.

    I wouldn't bother with a projector for less than 100". Seems like too much of a hassle, otherwise.

    I like my Samsung 65", but most brands have all the same components in them anyway. We used very expensive commercial grade NEC TVs in our stores for a long time for digital advertising, but as they fail (and they all will fail) we've been replacing them with cheap Insignia and TCL consumer TVs and we're finding they're just as reliable.

    Sorry to hear this Brian. I remember losing my last grandparent and realizing that I was a whole generation older in the family. I think many of us are hoping for a better 2025.

    Oh there will be some mods all right
    I'm not going to count any chickens before they hatch, but it tentatively looks like I will have the summer wheels and tires sold tomorrow, and the topper sold Sunday. It's easy to sell stuff when you're not trying to get top dollar lol. I would much rather make someone happy and give them a good deal and get the stuff out of the way instead of it taking up space for a long time. The money will immediately be going to some 17-in wheels and winter tires.

    Dood, I'm working tomorrow, but I did definitely for a moment consider taking a PTO day for tomorrow, drinking more of this delicious bottle of Michter's barrel strength rye tonight and heading west tomorrow to hang out. Gotta save those PTO days for KenTWucky though...

    That made me think.
    Big family, on that side.
    8 kids. My mom being the oldest. Me being the oldest grandson.
    10 other grandsons and 9 granddaughters. Plus about 10 great grandkids.
    My youngest cousin is probably 30+ years younger than me.
    My youngest aunt is 7 mo. older than me.
    She was more like a cousin, growing up.
    :D
