throttleplate Posted December 6, 2021 Posted December 6, 2021 5 inches of snow here over the weekend in fargo nd border to minnesota. Wife shoveled while i made breakfast and washed the dishes. No i used our original snowblower a bobcat that dad bought brand new in 1975. Still runs great but to operate it is like operating an old threshing machine from the 1930,s 4 Quote

Super User bulldog1935 Posted December 7, 2021 Super User Posted December 7, 2021 Just got back from the Arroyo Colorado in far S. Texas - 4 nights of dock fishing, a bit of daytime kayaking. Prevailing SE, highs in the low 80s, lows 65 - the lights drew finger mullet and scads of tiny glass minnows. Lou fishing the sunset a pelican fishing with us Susie's monster buck speckled trout landed on XUL - it made two 50-yd runs added to our best overnight stringer me having fun yet with a quick sunset snook before dinner. 12 Quote

You know… I'm almost ashamed to admit that, when I wrote that post, I didn't really make a connection between how I wrote what I did and the fact that I was talking about electrical stuff. But at least I can read the display on my HVAC controls again. lol I need to make a kanban board for all the stuff I'm trying to fix on this car. 1 Quote

I was raised in the city during my youth so when I moved to Highlands county in the middle of nowhere all these animals in the neighborhoods were a huge shock to me. I had many meetings with the FWC about it and they basically told me to shut up and quit calling them! They said we were building houses in their habitat and we had to learn to coexist with them. They told me to buy a very expensive bear-proof can which they would not reimburse me for of course, haha. And of course I was warned not to harm them in any way or else! Quote
