BTW - I wonder what happened to our other David who was on his trans-Pacific voyage on the container ship???

I believe he stopped posting when a new poster came on, temporarily, and referenced all the periodicals that David was supposedly copying his pictures from.

Fixed my window this morning. Back in Spring, I put in one of those springy metal strips that keeps a double-hung window open when the rope breaks that holds the counterweights. Except I put it in backwards. The spikes on the metal strip grabbed the window frame instead of the window opening and was moving with the window. It was not quite all the way under the window frame and the bottom part sticking out hit the window sill not allowing the window to close all the way.

I had to remove the window after removing the window guide strips to get that metal strip out of there. Next Spring I will make sure I install it with the spikes facing the window opening and not the window frame. All sealed up now with no air leakage.

Those two punched holes in the center have the metal spikes that grab the inside on the window opening and the bent spring keeps the window frame open wherever you want it. The nails are optional and are not really needed.

That is exactly what he was doing. I found a bunch of his photos all over the internet from travel brochures, ship interior designs, tourist photos, etc. The other guy called him out on it.

he fact that the parents of the shooter got off scot-free, even though the gun(s) belonged to his father. And they also claimed that they weren't aware of their son's mental issues. Enough said.

Back about 10 years ago, maybe longer, a young man selling school fund raiser candy door to door was found murdered in an area not too far from me. The perpetrator, was another young man, of similar age, that had been diagnosed with mental issues.that "could cause anti-social behavior".

After several days and an attempt by the County Prosecutor to charge the perpetrator's parents for negligent homicide, the family's defense attorney revealed that three days prior to the crime, the perpetrators parents were in Superior Court trying to get the court to commit the young man because of his "anti social behavior". The Judge refused to order the kid confined, stating for the record, "He looks like a fine young man to me." Three days later the fine young man killed another young man and hid him in a wooded area. Sometimes, nothing a parent does is enough.

So it is down to finding out if the actual 3rd wire ( usually bare copper ) is there. If not, don't even try.

Good Morning All and those with corrupt outlets!
35F @ 82% partly.

So after thinking about it for a few days, I don't think I am going to renew NPRHA as it is just not worth it. Ya, have been a member for quite a few years, but renewing just because I have done so for so long is not making sense anymo. Last issue was the 'Main Streeter' and that was it, besides the normal few pages of advertising.
GNRHS is 5 times what the NP is, so keeping up with that.

Oh, and I made it through the lack of MR withdrawals so that is working OkieDokie. Now to start RMC mag for a year to see ifn I like it. Had it many moons ago so we will see.

You know what you need to do.

The wire going to it is 14/2 Romex. I can only assume the builder used what they had to finish the job, and nobody called them on it.
