ice maker in the fridge has had problems with them or the water line. We never had a
built in ice maker. Always filled ice cube trays and put them in the freezer. Just like we
did in my parents fridge.

My friend is new to the shooting sports. (My fault) I just helped him purchase his first .22 rifle and scope. He didn't have the scope levels, torque driver, cradle, etc. so I invited him over to the house so I could mount it.
When I let him in my Great Pyrenees went "Cujo".
I should have taken the dog outside to introduce him, but I at least had the dog on a leash. My friend is 6'5", stayed calm, and acted like the dog wasn't there. He said the dog was just doing it's job. 
Once the dog calmed down I took the leash off. She just plopped down on the sofa, still keeping a wary eye, and left us alone.
After we finished bore sighting I helped him pack back up. Just before he drove off he pulled out a bottle of E.H. Taylor small batch and gave it to me as a thank you. I was very surprised and grateful. I never expect anything for helping someone.
I do agree on adding a couple of rocks to a high proof bourbon like this.
Can you tell us a little more how you went about building it?
Snow is beautiful if you don't have to drive in it.

Don’t blame you. I’ll find out after I do my inventory update and need to order

That ice looks perfect to pour some bourbon over. In a glass of course.

Mike the valve gear I created years ago actually works. The wheels are mounted on lazy susan's bearing. I had plans on hooking the valve gear up to a motor. I have a video somewhere of it rotating by turning the wheels with my hand. The video is on some hard drive somewhere. I was showing someone how it works one day and one of the bearings (not the lazy bearing} dropped out main driving rod and that meant I would have to take it all apart to replace it. With that I just put a pin in the wheels so they cannot move. Maybe someday when I have nothing else to do, I'll get it going again.

Sorry to hear about your problems with the ice maker. Everyone I know who has a built in
ice maker in the fridge has had problems with them or the water line. We never had a
built in ice maker. Always filled ice cube trays and put them in the freezer. Just like we
did in my parents fridge.

Your ice looks like it is missing its pimentos!

Just done that this morning. Dawn loves ice in a drink. Why water it down I ask?

In the case of a glass of bourbon, lowering the proof, or chilling it. Both can have effects on the taste. With High-Proof whisky I like to mellow it out with a cube or two.

Tom how many of these claims have you submitting in the last few years. Too many to count?

They'll probably cancel the homeowner's policy.

That is an awesome model! A true train-room treasure!

Back in the summer I was making an early morning delivery before dawn. (I am an Amazon contractor) I entered the customer's gated property and about a dozen giant white furballs came running up to me. As I always do when encountering dogs, I stopped the car and walked. I said hello and tried to pet them. But they kept out of my reach. Most of them were huge, about 3' tall and 100+lbs. The customer's instructions were to deliver to their car port and that is what I intended to do. As I walked, they circled around me, curious about what I was doing, but kept their distance. The oldest one (I assumed, as he was much slower and not as bright white) walked right next to me, escorting me all the way. He was so tall (I'm 6'8") I could pet his head as we walked. I had never seen this breed of dog in person before, they are magnificent! After dropping off the package they all wanted to say hello and let me pet them. Then they walked me back to my car. They were easily the highlight of my day!
I hope you can get everything you need before the snow arrives. Then you can enjoy the beautiful snow through your windows.
Snow is beautiful if you don't have to drive in it.

Well, ymmmmmmy there internet people, and those eating pan pizza
It's Troy again.
This was dinner:
In the beginning
In the oven:
and once done:
The crust and sauce are the same recipe I've been using. The method is ingenious. Got it from America's test kitchen YouTube channel
Liberally coat a cast iron skillet or pan with olive oil.
Add dough, shape to pan, and let 2nd rise at room temp for about 1 to 1.5 hours
BEFORE adding sauce, line the edge of the pan, above the dough, with Monterey Jack shredded cheese. Press it to the pan side, creating an outer ring of cheese. Note, this is NOT a stuffed crust style pizza.
Then add sauce, mozz cheese, toppings, more mozz.
Bake in 400 f-degrees for 25ish minutes.
The cheese ring is to melt and crisp up around the outer edge of the pan.
The second secret is that once you remove the pizza from the oven, raise the edge of the dough and peer underneath. You'll probably need to crisp up the bottom. Do that IN the pan. Place it on a stovetop, at medium heat for about 1-2 minutes
This is what all of that looked like. Crisp bottom on the crust, and crispy ring of melted cheese.

If I want my liquor cold, I place it in the fridge for a while. No watering needed.
