I'm out until Biden starts year 3. Been a long wait but I didn't lose 26% either.

my wife likes her bidet so much for Xmas I upgraded her to a Family Asster 3000

this thing has all the bells and whistles - ass and coo washer (ballsack for men), hot water, self sanitizing, motion sensor lid raise, nightlight, and an ass dryer.

It might have some more stuff - its got a bunch of buttons. I might give a test run -- hit up taco bell later today

good thing I wired it too because I tapped into a line run by the previous owner and the guy had power going to the ground on a 3 way switch. I don't even know how that happens. I fucked with it for a couple of hours and just disconnected it until I can get an electrician out here.

and no I wouldn't wire an outlet into a 3 way switch (if anyone caught that) - I had two wires to choose from, one with power and one to the light. I chose wrong.

Oh yeah, that's exactly what everyone was thinking...

The DS (paternal) family has several electricians -- with an electrical engineer to boot -- and my dad learned enough from them over the years that he wired our home himself when he built it (again, something he did himself except for the plumbing and masonry for the foundation and chimney). As such, DS Sr would give me the same shit you would get from the hunting forum and for the same reason. Except he would have added in a groan / sigh followed by something along the lines of "Damn, son. I taught you better than that shit. You're not stupid. I know you're not stupid because you're my son, and I taught you better. Use your head. Now, I love you, but you know better than to do shit like that."

Well, sadly, those lessons just didn't take, and there's a reason I'm an attorney and not the mechanically adept do-it-yourself type who became a mechanical or electrical engineer as he dreamed.

On another note, how is the 8N coming along?

Haven't really touched the 8N - I bought a new carb for it and a float bowl.

I'll get shit for that today as the brother and brother in law are coming over to dinner today and they expected it to be running.

My son in law got me a propane flamethrower last year for Christmas, it would hold a flame, but it damn sure wasn't a flamethrower. He went back to the drawing board this year and gave me one that he said the guy he got it from guaranteed would be satisfactory or he'd give him his money back. Well it damn sure is. This thing shoots blue flame and also has a turbo valve on it which extends the flame out about 3 feet. I'ma be able to start a grill or a campfire in like 2 seconds now...

People need gasoline powered snow plows. Either that or they need to not go near their driveway and pay someone else to plow it. People are dropping dead in Buffalo for shoveling snow.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topst ... a8ce975bb9
Twenty-five of New York's deaths are in Erie County, which includes the city of Buffalo, Mark Poloncarz, the executive of Erie County, said Monday. He said many of the deaths confirmed by the Erie County Medical Examiner's Office as being related to the storm were people suffering heart attacks while shoveling or blowing snow.

"We do expect that there will be more," Poloncarz said.
