PBS 1,2,3,and 4

Rush, Hannity, the The Nuge, and Chris Plante aren't on their playlist..... Best to totally defund them since they are one sided and no different than listening to MSNBC.
I love the camera work on the nature stuff, but usually it takes about 5 minutes or astounding videography before they begin telling us that humans are destroying the earth.... and we're all going to die soon.

...a little girls life changes as she becomes a tool because she speaks well and with emotion.
I'm not without compassion. She absolutely needs an award... NO, not a Darwin. Something shiny and fake like the Some People's Choice Award.

I was tell in my buddy how I was going to buy another sheet of plywood for the top of my bench. He reminded me that was gonna be $100. Yeah, you’re right. So I filled it, again, with some black filler where it needed it. After it sat for the weekend I sanded it and gave it a coat of wax. Ooo it feels so good. Now if I spill my coffee it’ll just run right off the bench onto the floor

I paid $84 for some 5/8 to make a "lift" to put my low profile "racing jack" on . Expensive but worth ever quarter. Yeah I had leftovers.

....wondering about the price now after the devastation back east.

Unless she's making 7 figures, I think she needs a stern reminder.
If she is..... Then I'm on her side, you don't need 'em.

I remind her and she just laughs. Mmm hmm.

I don’t watch PBS news but I do like watching their cooking and animal shows from time to time. Listening to the same ol climate **** doom n gloom gets old. Anymore I just tune it out cus it really doesn’t matter what I do on an individual level so there’s no point in even listening to that crap. That’s where the cooking and animal shows come in

Let her.... accidently, look over you shoulder to see you looking at jewelry a few times. A week later, bring up towers again.

The photography is usually top notch, so I'll watch anyway or turn the sound down. I like Oregon field guide and they'll substitute Outdoor Idaho.... Both are great shows. I don't see them as politicized nearly as much.

Cleaned up, took trash out, brought cat food and cat litter in, cleaned litterboxes, called AC people and took awhile to get through. They were going to come out today but ended up not having time and called to apologize. Said they will try to come in the morning.

Took toilet jack over to friend's house. He misplaced the lever for it so need to find a new one. It seems some of the protective stuff on it (to protect the toilet from getting scratched) came off it while in his care as well. He'd borrowed it for a long time. It was too dark for me to grab the showerhead thingy. If its still there. His mother may have taken it bc she doesn't respect boundaries.

Kelebrimbor charged up to me. He had oil on him or something so I gave him a bath. He didn't like it but he was super cuddly afterward. He chased me to the truck again so friend had to put food out for him again.

It's been 86 in the house all day with 61% humidity. 84 outside with 64% humidity. Ugh. I am a ball of sweat.

Jewelry isn’t really our thing. I did buy her a ring once but other than that I think I lucked out cus jewelry is expensive.

The FIL gave me some great advice years ago. He was telling me when he wants something he starts to plant the seed in his wife’s ear a few months ahead of time. I do that now and that **** works, except for on a tower. She’s never going to be the one to buy me a tower. Lol.

I added on to my steam box so I could work with longer pieces. Here is how far I’ve gotten today. This stuff follows pretty nicely. I think I’ll get another two rows (6”) up today then I’ll let it sit until tomorrow before I remove the clamps.

She’s on the spectrum, and high functioning. Once she’s keen in on something, it’s virtually impossible to let it go, and were all that invested climate change interest takes her, is to a place of inevitable destruction of Earth’s environment. Is her enhanced brain the canary in the coal mine or just mental illness ? The jury is still out

Now for her, she probably wishes she had more ignorance, because it provides bliss.
I wonder what her Spectrum opinion is about that documentary

Well, after spending over $700 yesterday to try to fix AC-- getting 6lbs of refrigerant put in-- it all blew out in about an hour and never cooled. It's technically outside the service range for the installer. They can't get replacement parts for the unit, can't get a direct replacement unit, won't do a full replacement of both air handler and condenser unit so my options are to find someone who can do the air handler that matches. Something about Trane discontinuing models that don't use the new EPA approved refrigerants and so forth. Place that was recommended that could get the air handles won't service my area. Landline kept dropping calls for some reason.
Called 10 different places and finally got one that wasn't commercial only, actually sold to customers, would install in my area, didn't just have an answering machine or answering service, and actually called back after getting some more info. So, a dude is on his way out for an estimate.

Meanwhile I swept up kitchen and hallway, cleaned litterboxes. put down carpet powder, sprayed febreeze, change Mom's insulin cartridge, and am sweating my butt off. It got up to 88 yesterday and won't go below 84 inside. It's currently over 90% humidity outside, raining, but in the 70s. It's still in the 80s inside with 63% humidity.

zannej · Nov 6, 2024

The estimate for just the air handle (which can be replaced without replacing the condenser) was more than it cost to install a condenser and air handler back in 2010. But it will come with a 10yr parts and labor warranty, surge protector, 11lbs of refrigerant, and an air purifier. They will be out in the morning to install.

I hope she's enjoying the stardom and is making good money from it. She's devoted so much of her working life to it..... where else might she be employed? People don't often get a chance like that.
She's just far from the goddess that she's made out to be.

The gravy train has landed! Snap a line and start dropping planks. I use scab pieces at the butt joints to hold the line while i’m beating on the floor. Who remembers using a bridge piece to keep the planks lined up while tapping butt joints together.

Are you gluing just one edge?

I put a slight bead of TB 2 in every joint. Helps to keep the floor (butt joints) from pulling apart when these trailers flex while being towed.

Transition location:

Some of the 30 year old apartments are getting new kitchens. The contractor is in charge of LVP supply + installation. I simply butt to his edge ( 1/8” gap for expansion) using T-track + insert. My question is, would you have cut and removed the LVT up to the breakfast bar and then Make the transition to the back side of the kitchen wall ?

I would go to the inside of jamb so it bumps that kitchen wall. Otherwise if someone puts some chairs or barstools there, they won’t sit right cus half of the feet are on carpet and the other half are on LVP.

Thanks Man, I’ll wait for more feedback and then give the contractor the info.

That’s a funny situation there. You want the look of having the floor wrap around so a chair can sit there but you need to make sure there’s sufficient space for the chair to do its thing. Doesn’t look like yours has enough space.
