I deleted every sports channel from my remote control.

Well now, it looks like I didn't miss much this afternoon.

I have managed to find the correct circuit breaker, bought some new shop lights, and got some other things at Home Depot. Have I stated how much I try to avoid that place? I "never" get out of there without spending a fortune. Thank goodness for Visa.

Do you think we could be long lost family? lol Even my own sister would fit in on this thread right now better than I do. I always pick the team that is playing against her team and root for them around her! That is how much football annoys me lol. All the other sports as well.

The rest of yall aren't going to ban me are you?

ROFL We must have a genetic link. Might be back a few dozen generations but it's gotta be there.

I'm about to head back to my basement after a short rest. I couldn't work on my circuit breaker tonight. My son is asleep (had a fever this morning) and I need him to hold the light for me to do that task. I'll do it tomorrow.
So, I started dealing with the hellish job of tracing wires and eliminating crap that is down there that is unnecessary. This house has the most jacked up wiring in the basement that you can imagine.

I made it a CONDITION of purchase that they remove all the 220 outlets and lines from the basement. If I'd known how jacked up the rest of the wiring was, I'd have requested more. Might not have gotten it and would have bought anyway, ROFL.

We actually had an electrical fire in a light this summer as a result of this mess. There are either FIFTEEN OR EIGHTEEN industrial sized eight foot long fluorescent lights in my basement. Except for ONE light, these are all the kind that don't plug in. They are wired directly into my electrical wiring. One of these is what caught fire.

These lights are over FIFTY years old. And, it looks like they all have the original ballasts. (One of those is what started the fire in a light.) Plus, the former owner liked to "play" with gadgets. There are really strange gadgets, like industrial alarm bells, wired in, extra door bells, etc. He also apparently liked to make his own junction boxes from strange things - like old ceramic light sockets (the kind that also had the outlet on the light socket).

So, I'm in the midst of tracing the one that was a problem this summer and removing everything unnecessary. Just ONE of his homemade junction boxes had SEVEN sets of wires in and out. When I put it back together, it will have a much more sane TWO (basically, it'll be a splice now.) Much more to do, though...

I'm thinking Brenda's boss must be REALLY conflicted about all the NFL players wearing HOT PINK this month!!

I didn't even think about that!

I know you are all gone but I wanted to catch up. I love this!! You are probably right

Her husband is the wrestling coach and apparently, not that I pay attention, they do really well. SOOOO that makes them better people right?! Makes you wonder if they aren't the ones behind the For Sale signs in Coachs yard. Coaches wife wrote a very well written letter to the editor about that too!

I was working on electrical stuff (post is a couple up). I quit that for the night -- tired of it, and besides, it'll take many, many more hours of work to finish the blasted project.
I also just turned off the sump pump. The pool is down another foot. (The pool does have a drain, but it is useless without a properly working pump.)

Hmm. was just reading a Family Handyman DIY Tips book I bought at Home Depot today & eating a grilled cheese.

Going to have to go soak my foot in some hot water soon. I have a nasty little cut on the bottom of my big toe right in the crease. It keeps trying to infect. (ROFL No wonder. It's had all kind of funk in it. Concrete basement floor funk. Garage floor funk. Coop cleaning funk. Green pool water funk. Yard funk. Have I mentioned I don't like shoes when I'm at home and usually just wear flip-flops when possible?)

I "should' be cleaning house...company coming after the weekend. Plus, loads of grading to do...

Oh my!! This is so me

Everyone always teases me about my flip flops. My husband even bought me a winter pair from Cabelas with sheeps wool lining and real tread on the soles. I wear them in the snow

My DS loves hoodies. I am not sure how old you are but he will be 16 next month. His favorite right now is a bright green one that says Bazinga on it. He loves that show The Big Bang Theory

He is also a Jimi Hendrix fan so he has a couple of those too.

Beautiful day here today. I walked way out to the cemetery on our land, took Rocky of course

I put a big pot of veggie soup on. It smells so good. Supper is BBQ marinated chicken and steamed veggies.

Raymond had a fellow FB player stay the night last night, so they are playing the Wii.
