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.

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... )"

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.

Pex is fun. Legos from plumbing. I've worked with it a bit on RV repairs.

Vinegar is a coward's acid. :)

Scale can be cleaned with muriatic acid. It works much better, and has the bonus of giving you acid burns if you mishandle it. Just make sure you flush with lots of clean water when you're done.

Oh, there are a lot more powerful cleaners. I just dont know the effect it would have on the heater or what it can handle.   If i dissolve the pipe, sort of defeats the purpose of cleaning it :)

Ooooh, that's NICE.  I don't even have a regular vise on my bench (because I am lazy and cheap or something).  That is next-level.

It reminds me of those cheap plastic jigs they sell in web ads to help morons cut around uneven objects.  I always add a snarky comment "just learn how to scribe, you'll be better off".

So i buy a toolbox thing from the store ( Milwaukee packout ). It has a store lock on it so you cant open it. Girl at check out removes the lock and STILL looks inside..

Next time i decide to install a new stove, remind me to get help dragging it in and the old one out.  I'm getting too old to do everything on my own.

Read a story somewhere about a guy double bagging his stuff at WalMart, and the girl told him he was wasting their bags. He said, "The bag will rip." She said, "That is because you're overpacking your bags. You need to take things out and bag them separately. 

I'm sure you see the problem here.

They are a really nice tool box btw.   but way too expensive to have a bunch of them.
