Dang. South central NC getting our first freeze watch of the season. A cold front is moving through tonight and we could see subfreezing temps Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.
This is what I love about NC. We have more than the two seasons FL sees. The fall colors are starting to show up in our maple, dogwood and scrub oak trees in our yard. Drive around and they're showing up against all of the pine trees. Scrub oaks are a pain in the rear because they have an insane number of leaves and are just not attractive in general, but their fall foliage is gorgeous. We have yellow, red and orange and in the morning sun the light hits them a certain way and the clumps of red among the still green leaves look like they're on fire. So pretty! Until they all die and fall on the ground and it's time to rake and burn. I never could get the drift of using a leaf blower plus my husband sleeps during the day so I can't use it, so I've become a raker/pyro to gather and burn. We live outside town limits so it's either burn or take it to the landfill and pay to dispose of it. I could fill the bed of my truck ten times and not even be close to being halfway finished. Good thing I enjoy burning.

My record thus far for a fire is one that burned nearly 2 weeks (12 days). Depending on the wind I might just light another one in a few days. There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't.
As a homeowner, We find ourselves doing some DIY projects. I’ve come to realize there are some things I’m just not that good at.
Mainly caulk. I’m not good with caulk. Some guys are great with caulk. It’s a skill apparently. I can never get a good bead. Trying to bead my caulk never gives me the results I’m really looking for. Whenever I’m beading my caulk, it creates such a mess. Sure, I’ll keep a rag around to clean it up. But I’m just not happy with the results. I’ve tried being careful and using both hands. The first time, I kept squeezing and pumping and not much came out. I guess you’d call that a caulk tease. The second time, I think I snipped too much off the tip. Globs everywhere! I watched a lot of videos of people caulking a lot of things. They make it look so easy.
Mods, I’m dead serious. Please no warning, it’s not my fault this chore has double entendres everywhere. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

It sounds like you just can't get it to firm up.
When you get into the endzone, act like you've been there before.

I know WHAT to do, but I also know how bad it can go and that I am not a professional. I keep thinking my connections will come loose and arc or something. That and shoving all them damned wired back into the box!!!

A lot more. She’s also cheap, btw. So at Costco I bought 4 boxes of the full sized 30 count candy bars. I really hope the turn out is good. Otherwise I may end up joining other relatives in the diabetes club. Hopefully I don’t lose a foot over this. I need it for work purposes. |
