I would never leave one of my friends in a predicament like that and my friends know that which is why they know they can call me at any hour for any problem. That's why I have friends from grammar school and I would do anything for them. Another friend called me once when her husband was...

Some of them were twins of the lobster, especially the ones with the antlers. Now I am going back there to help him lift the rug to throw out and build new shelves to put the supermarket that he has stored there.

Tonight we are having dinner guests. Two of out very close friends, my wife went to high school together and I used to drive the both of them home from school. Anyway 2 hours ago he called screaming that he has a flood, water all over his house and he can't use any water because it all comes out...

I think Disney does it all wrong and I have a plan to eliminate all the lines and problems. When you get to Disney, you first go to the monorail then go to the theme park you want to wait in line for. Then you go to Pirates of the Caribbean, Peter Pans ride, It's a Small World then wait to get...

Every year! I go every 30 years so the next time I will be about 125 years old.

We had a great time but I will plan better next time. I plan on not having to go again. :grin:

We got back from Disneyworld last night and today as I was feeding the tank I noticed something moving in my old bio pellet reactor. I built and installed this silly thing a few years ago as an experiment and figured it was a stupid idea because the pellets made the tank run so much worse so I...

This week we went to Disney World with our two Grand Kids, Daughter and Son N Law. They actually took us. We haven't gone to Disney in about 30 years when we took our Daughter a few times. A lot is changed as now they added more princesses, Buzz Lightyear, some Johnny Depp stuff in Pirates of...

This one I need an opinion on before I finish it. It is solid brass and I still have to put a switch in it. I was thinking of adding another bulb, like the last blow torch light on a brass pipe coming out of the base but on top. It would also have a dual function switch like the last one. Or...

It's a cheap leak detector. You can buy one for a lot more money but a GFCI is probably more reliable as it was built to save people's lives and is held to a higher criterie than a fish tank alarm would be

The bare wires are encased in a small plastic container with holes in it. The hot wire is in series with a 7 watt bulb, the other wire is a ground. It also works (usually) by using the neutral and ground, but not always. You won't get lit as that is what the GFCI is for, but if you are...

Thanks, everything is fine and I am still married. I just baked corn muffins for her. :cool: Some day I will tell her about the tank :D

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGGG Flood!! I hate when I have a flood, but I really hate to have a flood when we have 8" of snow on the ground and are expecting a lot more, and I really hate having a flood, with 8" of snow on the ground when I also have a Doctors appointment and I know the...

Most of the time. :D

I just finished this Blow Torch Lamp. The little pump handle turns it on. I do realize I am getting carried away. I am working on a smaller, blow torch lamp.

Thanks redfishblusfish. I actually knew about that and have done it. But like a two year old, I was to excited to put the thing together to do that. :D It is easy to take apart and I have to take it apart again to change the lamp socket so maybe I will age it like that. Thanks

That base is an antique, solid brass bath tub plate that reads Hot and Cold. It was polished brass but I sanded it to look like that. If I keep sanding it doesn't look any older but I know what you mean. I have a plan to age it more lie the lamp body. Thanks for the opinion. :cool: I wish...

I almost finished the third Steampunk light it is 99.99% done. I ordered a different, antique bulb socket so this red one is temporary. This light uses a bulb that has 99 LEDs that flicker in sequence to simulate fire. It is very cool in person but the camera just washes it out. The...

I took my wife here for dinner last night Oheka Castle - Wikipedia Our daughter gave that to us for my wife's birthday. It is the second largest private residence in the US. (my house is the third :rolleyes:) It was on 443 acres (I have a few less) and was one of the first fireproof...

My wife loves lobster and last night she taught a CCD class at the Catholic school so I made her a nice lobster dinner. On these forums most people call these a clean up crew, but here we call them dinner. I know how people feel about killing one of these for dinner but I didn't want to wait...
