Reminds me I need to work on my riding mower soon.
Was blowing leaves a while back and sucked up a big sheet of plastic into the deck..
Need to cut that out of there.
Stanley the knife to the rescue!
Might need Mr. Scissors too.

I was snow blowing last week and guess I tarped it too soon - it was melted onto the intake when Mr J went to fired it up :cry:

Got that part fixed so it would at least start, then he sucked up the end of a tarp hidden in a snow bank....

Micro torch and pliers. More work to get under it than it is to remove the plastic :p

So is everyone starting to get the picture? If it is made in India or China, it sucks. Do we make anything in this country anymore? Well, given the FDA rules, that probably sucks too.

Must have cheap tax rates for big-pharma companies.

Somehow I doubt the validity of that video... or they just like rats. The clothes on those kids is in better condition than mine, so they are not starving.

Don't doubt the video, they eat rats in India...and many other locations.

Rats are abundant, cheap, and apparently taste good if BBQ-ed. Probably crawling all over the pills they manufacture there too.

Ya just have to find (or hope to find) the disease free type....to BBQ

My cats eat them and they are not dying, but somehow, no matter how many holes are in my clothes, I doubt I'll join the rat connoisseurs' club.

Probably crawling all over the pills they manufacture there too.
And I wouldn't doubt that for a minute.

How was the weather today, Rich?
Snowed most of the morning. Some sun late afternoon. Currently about 2 degrees.

Fuck me, that cold is just relentless.

Was decent here today, but I was stuck in an office most of it.....so it may as well been 2F......:sad:

And the FDA is worried about vaping
They are not "worried" about it at all. They are merely following the agenda they have been paid to follow.

Here is SD, they plan to tax all vaping gear and juices at 35%. The reality is that this has nothing whatsoever to do with trying to prevent you from using something that might be bad for your health, but the government knows full well they can get away with "sin taxes" because all the non-users support it and that makes the shitheads in government richer.

And yet we cannot buy presc drugs from Canada because they are not safe?
I think thew issue is that it would cut into pharma's profits.

Indeed....the cost of the same products (I meant shit) in Ecuador are a third of the price they are here.

Is it what the market will bear?
Or robbing the market bare?

In things such as prescription drugs the old competition argument has no bearing.

Evening, Don....how was your day?

Not too shabby. Weather started off cold at 42 but warmed up to mid 60's. Went to work. While there was a ballet going on ( I have no cues) I was making a trade with Gadget. Traded one Purge mod for another.

Wife unit asked me today if we didn't need to get the weiner dog a friend...

I did not say what I thought... Hell no why would I we need another dog for me to take care of and clean up after?
Just like a kid, her dog but I do all the work.

Back on my soapbox I guess...

I have my basement workshop now...
Been piddling with electronics and such..
Was rebuilding a laptop battery today.

She cannot do stairs but it does not help much between her saving up questions and dratted cell phones....

Naah my flipphone lasts a week on a charge, with a 5+ yr old battery in it.
My tiny LG flip hasn't been charged for about four months and still shows almost full, but it only gets used 3 minutes per month when I call Lannie from the monthly shopping trip to ask if anything might have gotten left off my list.

Yeah mine is an LG as well and will last up to a couple of weeks per charge.
Would last longer if damned telemarketers did not call daily.

I pay for my phone for my convenience not for telemarketers convenience.
If I was running things any telemarketers call would credit my phone bill $1.

Umm actually I pay for my phone for my wifes convenience....

When I started work for the phone company at 18 and had moved to the big city.
I went to check on a phone.
They wanted a hellacious deposit because I was 18 and had no credit history.
So I did not get one.
About 6 months later my Boss said he tried to call me in to work.
I told him I had no phone because they wanted a deposit and since I worked for the phone company I felt that was wrong.
I got a phone with no deposit.
