Tim...how's that kitchen coming?

 

Sorry Tim, I had an interruption here are home for a minute. Both dogs, which JUST got back from the groomer, just ran out into the snow chasing birds! I am doing fine. Dreading going to work tomorrow in all of this mess here. Hope all is well with you.

 

Checking in real quick before getting back to preps. Thankfully, I was not seated on the jury this morning. The little town where our county court is located, is so small, you would almost expect to see the sheriff riding a horse. I've seen some "quaint" towns before, but this one takes the cake.

The trial was for a kid arrested for DWI and was expected to run through tomorrow evening. The defense attorney slipped up during questioning the potential jurors and asked if we would have a bias toward the case if we knew that the defendant blew over the limit several hours after the offense. I think she meant would we consider that the machine could have been broken to have read positive that long after the stop. In my mind, he's very luck y the test wasn't administered immediately as he was likely far enough over legal to have gone into felony DWI, instead of misdemeanor.

Monty, I guess the dogs don't like being clean.

Andre, I forgot to say congrats on the kids' achievements again.

Howdy Mitch! We have the same funky weather here and I'm about tired of it myself. Lower 40's (if that), breezy and misty rain are a bad combination. We just barely missed the ice and snow this far south.

 

lol@sheriff riding a horse into town...thanks for the kind words regarding my son

 

Waiting on the sheetrock man ! (read impatiently)
I guess I will just have to go to Michigan for a few days

Monty, I got interrupted too !
I have a dog that loves to chase birds too.

 

Hey Doug that sounds like a one horse town ! LOL

 

Yes, and come to think of it, I never saw a single traffic light. There were a few stop signs, but no lights. Around here, the litmus test for whether a place is a "real" town or not is whether or not they have a Walmart. The closest they have there is a Family Dollar. There wasn't even a Sonic. More than half of the vehicles there were pickups. Go figure.

 

Sounds like the majority of "towns" around here!

 

I guess I live in a real town up here. We have a Wal-Mart... Next couple of small town up the road... Do not...

I bet you are glad you were not picked anyways, so it worked out.

Stay safe out there Monty.

Happy waiting Iowa...

 

Another cold & snowy day............Normally, not a problem.....But I want to work outside and this weather is not being nice to me....

I have drive the open Interstate and in town with the full Aux Tank. No real difference.

No sign of any leaks.....

 

Garage Light......LED

I was in Sam's Club......always cost me money....
I saw a overhead shop light. Like a twin tube fluorescent, 4' bulbs. This is LED. $35. so, I bought one....it is very bright (more so than the fluorescents) and of course won't have problems with the very cold temps.

 

Looks nice Roy!
How do you feel it compares to the T5 h.o. lights? Was thinking about swapping out my old T12 fixtures.

 

Does as good or better....I have both. T12 and T5. This is what I'll get, plus lower electric bill.

 

LEDS don't have the cold problem CFL's do? Nice to know. Never had that issue until I moved...

 

Looks like I need to make a trip to wally world......as a rule, I shy away from Wal-Mart (nothing wrong with the store or corporation, just the ah, um, "patrons" at this particular store,...........can we spell thuggin boys and girls) anyway, you said it was 35 bucks?
