If you could it would sure put a dent in local fireworks sales for the 4th and new years eve, it's a conspiracy by the fireworks people I tell ya. There forcing the locals to go all DIY. Haha....every year people get killed, fingers blown off, eyes hit, and that's by the regular fireworks. Can you imagine if it was legal to have real explosives? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine if it was legal to have real explosives? Sure, it aids to the Darwin theory, it starts with a few fingers and sooner or later you can't even light them anymore with no fingers. And with real explosives it just speeds up the whole process. Just like driving 100 mph or drugs and many other things you accept the risk or be smart enough to not do it, but that line in between is tricky and don't forget the hold my beer and watch this group. Have to say at different times I have fallen into a few of those groups. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wardsweb Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Lookie what I did. It started out an ADC arm with a fixed head shell and a broken wire. It is now a removable head shell without a broken wire. It is now better than when it was new. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted July 12, 2019 Moderators Share Posted July 12, 2019 Storm is headed NW at 5 mph, Carl, better keep an eye open. If it were to go a little more West it would slide right across Louisiana into Texas. It's nothing now but with a few more days in the Gulf it might become something. Probably won't happen but who knows 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of "town" was about 2 square blocks. when we rode the bus, from Tucson, you had to tell them to drop you at KinsleyRanch.... Amado would land you 2 miles down the road in ...in AMADO. go figure. It can be confusing. The Amado PostOffice is in ArivacaJct/Kinsley... in another county. My car was registered out of county - at the govt's insistence. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyBob Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 boy howdy... it is warm 105`. Still waiting for rain. The humidity is "up". 20%r/h... at least, if we get precip, it will be in liquid form. Dew point is up to 45`. A/C is set to 90` [in the doghouse] and it hasn't shut down. Sitting in front of it... getting cold. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyBob Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 90 at this r/h isn't bad... relative to being in the sun took a couple showers, just to get wet/cool. Sun's down.. hasn't cooled off. Some cloud cover. trying to figure out what to feed the wife. She had 2 root canals done in one sitting. One/two does it matter...? she's eating soft food for a week. Gotta say, the dentists in Mexico work cheap. I think she said $1500 for both... not each. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 Hot and humid here in SE NC, good time for LF's AC to freeze up. A big block of ice. They will probably try to sell her a new one since it's 11 years old. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is leaning towards a new unit with higher SEER probably $6000. I said if we can get it repaired for no more than $1500.....do that. It was 40 feet from the tree that was struck by lightning and that claim is still open but tech says no connection. It would be nice to have him write it up as lightning strike then insurance would pay. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
