What's the big problem? It doesn't take ***** to ride an escalator, but if they are there, ride it anyway!

Pop

 

I'd take the stairs, trying to use the stairs when ever I get a chance anyways.

 

My power chair won't work on the stairs, or an escalator.

U.S., Cuba to restore ties after 50 years of hostility | Reuters


I'm glad to see this. After 50 years, and what has become nothing more than a grudge, it is about time.


Now maybe we can see some of those classic cars repatriated, as well as enjoy a nice Cuban cigar on special occasions.

 

Well, it said the trade embargo wouldn't be lifted, so I don't know if too many cigars would be coming this way.

Jim

 

I hope they do stop that trade embargo. They need to be able to sell some crops and replace a lot of that old machinery they've been working with.

 

Jim, you're right. We're a long way from normalized relations. Or even free travel. It is a first step.

 

True indeed. Cannot believe it has taken so long.

Jim

 

Should be a tourism boost. Raul might be a more practical soul than Fidel.

 

Digging around in my attic, and I find an A/C duct that was never connected to anything. Just sitting there open. They forgot to penetrate the ceiling with that outlet.


I wonder how much that has cost me over the last 11 years?

 

OH CRAP!

The answer to your question: A BUNCH!

It pays to inspect every "professional's" job.

They get PAID for doing it wrong!

I have soft, flexible ducting, and I kinda' worry that an end has fallen off or split somewhere, but as long as the apparent air pressure is still coming out of the ceiling register farthest from the unit, I don't go looking.

Maybe I SHOULD........

Pop

 

It might have been turned down into the insulation, so it wasn't a wide open leak. I can't be sure after my fumbling around up there. But that might also be why it was never noticed until now. I remember wondering why that was the only room that didn't have an outlet, and I assumed it was because they didn't want to disturb the tile ceiling. Now I know.


And they wonder why we do stuff ourselves.

 

To have it done RIGHT of course!

Pop

 

Wow, that is a bit unsettling.

Jim

 

That's just annoying!
