Moderators dtel Posted April 23, 2017 Moderators Share Posted April 23, 2017 Had no idea, that's how it worked, looked pretty useless except for what it was made for, really I hardly noticed it, I was looking at the assistant more than anything. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStewMan Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I remember seeing the comedian Gallagher once (he opened for the band America). he was mocking a television commercial where somebody says that their album just hit the charts and they want to celebrate with a cup of coffee. since our buddy Chuck started this thread ... was he the one celebrating with a cup of coffee? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarheel Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 Yep....free houses for the asking. I spent 10 years renovating a Queen Anne Victorian in Wilmington's historic district back in the 70s and 80s. Fearless back in those days Been watching TOH since the first show back when Bob Villa was the host. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Good morning all- It's sunny here and supposed to stay that way. Yesterday I drained the gas from the snowblower -- which guarantees another snowstorm -- and removed the "defibrillator" feature from my mother-in-law's ancient corded electric lawn mower. If you let your hands stray from the foam handles to anything metal, you received a mild -- although not unpleasant -- electric shock. I traced the problem to frayed wires near where the power cord goes into the motor housing. This gave me an opportunity to make a big show of dragging out my stereo repair stuff to fix the mower. My wife had to now understand why no home should be without soldering equipment, a mulit-meter, wire strippers, heat shrink tubing and a heat gun. At first I was surprised by the four conductor cord. The I realized the speed control required a fourth wire, 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DVR is supposed to be recording -- or have recorded -- the Detroit project. Is that still going? I haven't watched the recordings yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USNRET Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Up early, coffee and then putting out some weed and feed and then spraying some nasty sand burrs (I hate those things and let them get a head start this spring). Off to the doughnut shop and filling water bottles. BREAK. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob was to busy shilling for the late Sears. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
