Oh hell!
My son came over for lunch today and that was his ride.
A/c and everything!

Thanks Daddio!

Will you meet me half way with him?

Made this for you all last night while you all were sleeping or whatever!!!

Liar!

You yanked some poor dude out of his machinery so you could sit in it!

And, it's not even green.

Tsk Tsk.

Oh Cuz , you can be such a bore sometimes.

SP has her goat problem, I have a group ("gaze") of raccoons in neighborhood


Solution: Purchase large Havahart animal trap at HD to catch and relocate problem varmints to large public park 5 miles away.

Was using iced oatmeal cookies over last 3-weeks nightly to catch the coons, per recommendation of Critter One professional tech working down the block.
Instead of raccoons, caught one large possum and armadillo, then released during that period.

Thursday night, started using single serve Sam's Club Cranberry chicken salad (was bland tasting for humans, was going to throw out).

Early Friday morning @ 0337, results!



8/7 Raccoon "Gaze" visit front of house
(Nest 2K doorbell camera w/overhead 6W IR illuminator added)

Two loose raccoons hung around a long while trying to help trapped one out. They are very smart and crafty and work together as a team.

(Sorry about poor quality of vids using digital zoom & enchance. Hoping Google-Nest comes out with 4K doorbell cam in future. House front cams are 4K exterior models.)

I know where you are going you dirty old lady!

Size really does matter in this house. Ceilings are low except for the vaulted one in the living room. We were talking about my office fan. Get back on track, Cuz!

Yup.
But Cuz....
It was a whistle, not a snore.
So FYI, I was awake I like being at home, so much to do and see during the day at home.ECIN did not approve of my Edison lights so Gonna SHOP some more.

Well, Denny--I'm an acknowleged cheapskate when it comes to making decision when it comes to utility vs fashion. The $99 specials--ordinary, garden variety, ceiling fans are always my choice. Fact is that I'd prolly look at what's up there and ask myself if it still worked, didn't rattle and ran smoothly and if all the answers were yes I keep it and get on with the project.

(Are you really considering altering a fake brick 'wall paper' to a corrugated tin version for the heater wall? Ummmm--well, OK--it's your wall.

And I think a decor that combined mustard and brick walls would cause me to be only in that room if I couldn't avoid it. Geeze--I didn't like mustard when it was a highly fashionable choice back in the late 60's.

But good luck with the project--sounds like it's going to take approximately forever to finish.

PS About that ceiling fan--it's not so much the basic linear dimensions of the room that dictate how large or small a ceiling fan should be but the forgotten one--the height of the ceiling.

ABTLH

Ah-hem.....when dealing with items such as this size does matter Cuz.

Made this for you all last night while you all were sleeping or whatever!!!

Hell if I know!

I couldn't get him to look to see if it would fit. We have already both agreed the current ceiling fan has to go.

I was looking at style, not size.

I can see I am going to do all the decision making around here.

What did you use for bait ?
