Too bad, Richard is not on this forum with all the talk about tools and cars and trucks. He would love it. I hate it when he sends me to the auto store for a part. They see me come in the door with halting step and uncertainty in my eyes and I am sure the say to each other, 'Watch, we can have some fun with this', and I always leave without whatever I was supposed to get. Happens everytime.
I am woefully deficient.

This time of year I have an extra blanket on my bed--some mornings before I can get back to make the bed (because I'm feeding cats and Joey) by the time I get back to the bedroom I have one or two cats under various layers of covers (can't disturb sleeping cats, you know?) They make nice little circular lumps--but Leon is small so sometimes he oozes out from under that extra blanket--leaving a small circular void--and I never do make the bed because I think he's still there.

My cats also really like to get under the covers on my bed and sleep there. Sometimes I walk in and just see this little circular lump....

They are the soft version of the heated rocks used for reptiles. Same deal--almost undetectable heat but for like horned toads and boas who stop eating if it gets too cold--they are the perfect accessory. When the red tailed boa I had rescued (don't ask) finally found another home the cats inherited her big heat block--it would hold two friendly cats.

Now the cold blooded cat (old age for him and me--he's 17 now and I'm a lot older)--so there is a heating pad that I leave on the end of my bed--under the top blanket makes a warm spot I can stick my feet in when I go to bed--the cat (Leon) then sleeps on the heating pad (and my feet) and I can unplug the heating pad (which can't be left on all the time) and the cat sticks around on the warm spot and continues to keep my feet warm.

I can't believe I'm telling this story--it's embarrassing to both Leon and me.

Absolutely! The cats LOVE them. They are very low level voltage and can be safely plugged in all the time. It's a really subtle heat - you almost can't feel it at all, but it really attracts the cats!

Geeze LadyDi.

Not "heated cat beds"! Beds. (yours) heated by cats!

Pay attention...

Ignore the suggestion if you are allergic to cats...

Heated cat beds ? No way!

Hellooooooooooooooooooo Beau.....hair flip

Yo builders:
As far as B-day drills ....daily stuff .....hanging flag pole onto pole on the carport....drilling into wood or metal shed when mounting something......curtain rods......etc.
He describes that he has to fight with his regular drill when drilling into simple projects .....he has to apply lots of pressure to the drill when doing simple tasks. So I am thinking "impact drill" as a step up from a regular drill?

Hi Bonnie.

Just lurking... LOL!

Hi John! Where ya been?

Mel on my compact Honda Civic Hybrid, now being used by daughter, I had to remove front bumper cover, right headlight and right wheel well pieces to access A/C compressor for changeout. Also had to have car up on stands in order have enough room to access from below.
