Success Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I was more of a jug wine guy at the beginning. But I've gotten much more snobby. I really know my Pinot from my Cabernet now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that completely. My youngest brother and sister repeatedly put stuff in their threads so I disabled them. One asked me if I saw about his son's graduation and I told him no the frustration level to interesting stuff ratio is too high. He did not understand. I reworded it abd told him he posted too much political crap and I get enough of it on my football boards, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I sell wine cellars to really rich people. Man what a difference in how I think about wine. *takes a sip of Sauv Blanc* @plenzmd1 yes I have a problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 My most satisfying accomplishment was getting my lawn tractor going. It needed a starter and you have no idea how expensive OEM parts are for old John Deere's. Like $750!!! Amazon had $50 models but I had to get three before one worked.

I ran through three AZ alternators in college because they were CRAP. I only buy quality these days. Don't want to do complicated jobs more than once.

ExiledInIllinois Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I addded: "Sasquatch" lights to my new rig. You ask, "What are Sasquatch lights? But before I did that, I added extra fuseblock and 100a breaker....For future power supply needs. 36" removable LED light bar, quick release off front load bar. Should give a little bit of light on trail, camping, or on those dim evening fall tailgates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hide other things, like license plate and front yard. Here's the install. Lower LED light bar will go in later. Behind front, lower grill. Here's the auxiliary power: Added relay bracket forks for future upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of this Covid stuff has really thrown a wrench into our normal daily lives and routines and given a lot of us some extra time to get around to those random things we always talk about doing but never follow through. For me so far I have binge watched the entire tv series of Cheers(had never saw the show since its original run was just a bit before my time but have been wanting to watch it for a few years now) and have been going back and watching old WrestleMania's for the Nostalgia(I bought the WWE Network a few years ago because it was cheap and I figured it would be cool to go back and watch all of the old stuff as I watched it religiously growing up but once again never did find the time to watch anything on there until Covid hit). I have watched Wrestle Mania's 3 through 11 so far and would like to keep it going. I also found some time to go over to my parents and dig out all of my old sports cards that had been buried away in the basement over there. Next on my list is to watch the Soprano's which is a show I know I'd love and have always wanted to see but when that was originally on it was during a time in my life where I wasn't really watching much TV except for Sports Broke all the Guinness Book of World Records for fapping...Need all new fatheads now.

billsherd Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Friend of mine bought a house at the beginning of covid. Helped him paint the whole house, everything that had the paint on. He also changed tiles and laminate so helped him with that. At my place we fixed up the yard by doing edging (stone/concrete) around the flower beds and trees. It's a corner big yard. First time in my life worked with concrete and stone. Lots of trips to HD and Lowes. Painted the basement and did heavy cleaning of the tiles. Painted two washrooms and did stencile work on the tiles. Painted the garage door and the front porch. Used granite paint for porch and it was very hard to work with. We are about to start sanding and painting kitchen cabinets Changed about 8 light fixtures. Put up a bird feeder and made my own squirrel baffle. I'm sure I'm missing few things. I pulled my back two days ago and couldn't move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will accent with pavers after Labor Day. Etched in concrete, "Wuhan 2020" Also finished 2 metal benches with new slats. Never new how hard it would be to find replacement slats. Finally had my BIL rip some redwood fence boards to make slats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
