I thought they also scanned bar codes and such.   "i wanna make x for dinner, can i?" 

Id just like to have a fridge that works.

Several years ago they came up with  refrigerators that had tablets on the front, to see the weather and create shopping lists.  These refrigerators had cameras in them so you could see if you needed anything while you were at the store.  In theory, sounds cool.... but why?

 

Soooo i guess that bee swarm did stay. 

Tree guys FINALLY came to trim limbs out of the power lines ( after several summers of trying ),  'you have a bee hive. we need to call someone else first, but will be back soon".

Not seen any bees since that swarm however. ( well no more than normal )

The thing with having a hive nearby - is that they're all commuting to work. As long as you leave the house alone - they're off bugging someone else most of the time.

Ran across this the other day in the yard too.. They have gotten big, fast. ( image is today )

The mom was pissed today, with the tree guys in the back yard all afternoon. 

Damnit. Storm blew thru, took out 1/2 of the peach tree in the front yard.

Birdies!  They're cute.  And they don't sting.  Exterminate those stinging pests.  

Well a different company came out to look this time. Dude was a bit older, had been doing this a few years.  After hearing me explaining what it was doing, and what the other dude did, and offering a suggestion " ya, sounds like that might be it. I need to tear things apart and do some tests first". Turns out the thermister on the coils is flaky. ( not the one in with the food, but the one that controls the defrost )

"man those people who just swap parts really piss me off" .  A lot better than the younger dude sticking his paw in it, "ya, its froze up, ill get you a new control board ( for the food side... )"

Its weather related. but lost power 5 times so far this morning.     Annoying.  Hard to get work done.

Out mowing yesterday.. .next door neighbor comes over " you have a bolt cutter ". "Um, not really i have some side cuts" " its for my padlock on the shed " .. "oh nothing that large"  ( explains why hes not mowed for 2 weeks.. he cant get to his mower )

Went and bought him one late last night, hung it on his door handle. Wonder if he will figure it out

PEX is fun! ( redoing the lines to the tankless water heater so i can do a pumped clean out this spring easily.  . supposed to back flush it at least once a year with either a cleaner or vinegar. Ill opt for vinegar, its safer )

Too bad i was thinking backwards and the colors are wrong..  oh well.  not going to cut them off and redo it just for that.
