    Don't forget the 60" flat screen.

    I know that very electric fencer that he is talking about. My uncle has that very one on his farm to try to keep the cows in. While visiting him once my uncle was working out in the barn and saw that we were heading toward the fence so he turned the fence off. My buddy checked the fence to be sure it was off and after being sure it was off went to step over the fence wire. It was at that exact moment that my uncle turned it back on....... Almost as funny as when the dog lifted a leg and peed on the wire.........

    If that is silicone caulk on there I would cut it out and replace so that you know it is a permanent fix. It is almost impossible to get all traces of silicone off and any trace left behind will only create a new leak thru your repair. To replace that elbow and do it right you are not looking at a lot of dollars worth of parts. As was mentioned, give your pipe repair some time before you redo the wall. This will also insure that everything in there is dried out good before you close in moisture to make more mold. Make sure you clean up and/or replace anything with black mold on it. Make an effort to be sure you find it all. Nasty stuff.

    I'm jealous, I have not even started my winter projects on the bike, And I still have a lot of helies and planks to build to. Spring is coming fast already.

    The is here right now. I''l pack it up right away and get it over to you for tonight. I sure wish I could borrow a toy like that.

    I'm jealous. I have a long list of winter projects to do, but I have not even started to order the parts yet. This earning a living and supporting all of these retired people is really getting old.

    If you already have the bolts out, rather than pulling the runner seal off to put a washer on just replace the bolt seal with a new one. And if you have tall of the bolts out, you are not that far from having the cover off and just do it right with new gaskets too. Then you are done for the next 20 years. Unless you need your valve clearance checked. This is a good time to that too.

    Stop thinking and start doing. Before you smoke us all out........

    I would also assume that a washing machine cycle may have just slightly more agitation and chemicals than a glass of clean water. The technology for water proofing electronics is cheap, easy and has been around for more than 40 years. I think the phone manufacturers are just giddy that there have been over 85 million phones destroyed by being dropped in the drink. Why would they want to end the gravy train?

    Being banged up is not a good excuse. Last year one of the most banged up TEAMS won the Super Bowl, the hard way from the #6 seed. The TEAM adjusted to work with the personal available. OK, so I have green and gold tinted glasses. .

    Or a too short tongue, adding tongue weight is a lot easier than stretching the tongue. So try adding tongue weight first. That is why you see so many trailers with the cooler on the tongue. Makes it easy to add weight. More food and drink.

    I have the same HF trailer and a car topper on it. That was about the same speed mine started to sway regardless of tongue weight or load weight. I added on a swivel coupler that adds 7 inches to the tongue and it still swayed, but not as bad. So I stretched the tongue 18 inches and now all is good. I did remove the extra spring leaf. I tried to flip the axle but it made the tire to close to the fender. The tire will hit the fender when loaded going over bumps. I would need to make some brackets to raise the fenders and then I can flip the axle. I have found that mine sits dead level when loaded with the axle in the stock location. If I were to flip the axle the trailer would sit tail low. Even though it would be lower it would still be more air resistance because it is not straight into the wind like it is when level. So if I do flip the axle to lower the trailer I also will need to lower the ball on the bike the same 3 inches. This is sounding to much like work. Maybe some day when I have nothing else to do.

    I am, I can still remember when the dead sea was still healthy. But still not old enough to retire. I figure I have another 50 or so years to work before I can retire.

    Unfortunately there are laws that prevent the nursing home from putting sides on a bed. They are not allowed to use any type of restraint and bed rails are considered a restraint. They said the best they can legally do is to put the side of the bed against the wall and then put a single chair against the other side, and a mattress on the floor to help soften the landing.

    Jeeze, all you retired guys are starting to make me feel young, even though I am old.

    I found out the hard way that no matter how fast you go, sawdust does not blow off of a bike.

    We test everything new that comes on the market to see how it compares to what we make. The 2 best brands right now for actual cleaning are Erika and Hoover. At home I have a 30+ year old canister vacuum cleaner, the company is long out of business but it still works better than any modern vacuum. If you put the end of the hose on your arm it will leave an instant bruise from the suction. It is my understanding of what really makes a vacuum cleaner work and then seeing the Dyson commercials that always make me laugh. Of course there is nothing available on the retail home market that can even come close to the power and cleaning ability of a commercial unit. Most homeowners will not spend $4-8K on a machine to clean their carpet.

    Well it has been a week now since he was kicked out of the hospital and put into the nursing home. Now that he is out of the hospital environment he is getting noticeably better every day. His speech is getting to be a lot more coherent. He is now making complete sentences (without changing the subject in mid sentence) and even stringing sentences together. He has been upgraded from pureed food to minced food. He had a Sloppy Joe burger yesterday and seemed to really enjoy eating something that resembled real food. He is now able to spend most of the day sitting upright in a wheel chair and has learned how to motor the chair around with his feet. Between the feeding tube and him eating better his color is nearly back to normal. Then with all of the good news, I just found out that last night he fell out of bed and hit his head on the night stand and floor and now has a big bruise on the top of his head about 2 inches from where the skull fracture was. If there was anything that he did not need right now it is more head trama. We are hoping that the fall did not cause any new damage, Doc says we wont know for a couple of days. He did remember falling out of bed and was able to talk about it today, I think this is the first short term or current memory that he has been able to retain since the fall. Up till now his short term memory was down to literally about 1 minute. He is a very long way from being out of the woods. The medication for the brain swelling is not compatible with his heart and anti clotting meds so he can not take either which dramatically raises risk of heart and blood clot issues. He has been getting clots in his arms and legs, we still have to hope that no clots go anywhere important. Thanks for all of you prayers and well wishes, I am sure that they are helping.

    That really sucks...... But on the other hand, since I design commercial carpet cleaning equipment for a living, I know way to much about cleaning carpet to get a Dyson.

    Just a WAG.....

    They all broke......

    Gotta try........ I can be bought....

    Well then just wait for summer to do it when it is to hot to poke your nose outside and all of us up here are enjoying good riding weather.

    If it is coming out of the computer like was mentioned, I would just leave it alone. While it may have 12V showing on a voltmeter, the computer circuitry may not have the ability to supply any meaningful amps without leaking out some of the magic blue smoke that the computer runs on.
