    Glad the back is doing better.
    :yes:

    As to working from home.. better or worse than the office?

    It's not often that SKEETER McCLUSKEY leaves the grill/smoker area.. so I was kinda taken off guard.
    :doh:

    But.. I've also been a bit absent lately.. so I trusted him.
    :doh:

    :rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol:

    The cat would not be proud of me.

    There’s pros and cons for sure. I’m about 50/50 on it vs. the office.

    I just read something online that praying mantis eat murder bees. Cannot verify that but sounds interesting.

    I havent had it on since that night. I replaced the capacitor yesterday, verified that it started when I called for the fan, then shut it down. It was beautiful the past few days, so the windows have been open. From what I read, the overheat can be caused either by the bearings failing, or by the cap being bad. When I spun the motor when it was cool, it was OK. No drag that I could detect.

    Thank you for the birthday wishes everyone. I hit the big 5-0 today, but no biggie. We visited good friends last evening and sat outside for hours. As trivial as it sounds, the most memorable part was greeting my buddy with a firm handshake. Thinking about it, that was the first handshake I had with anyone since probably March. Seems strange, but a sign that we will get past this Covid thing.

    This morning I finished up the front door roof siding and primed it. A little caulk and paint and it will be done. I re-used cedar siding from the back of the house to keep the consistency the same.

    Made a little upright pallet planter for our daughter. She picked plants out and filled them.

    We had our immediate family over this afternoon for ice cream sundaes and sat outside. It was a beautiful, brisk and low humidity day. A very low-key birthday, and it was fine with me.

    We got sleet today.... I was in full rain gear while pressure washing the back of the house. It was chilly with the wind. Pellet stove running for anot an hour here.

    Same thing, Senior Buyer.

    Despite Covid19, they've been doing very well. They make a lot of canoes/ kayaks and the yeti coolers.

    True, but murder wasps won't last in colder winter climates. Also, none of the murder bees found here in the states were alive. Unlike Covid19, murder wasps is a real issue.

    I'm not sure why he did it, but I know he wouldn't leave it compromised for very long. He does construction for a living so he definitely knows what he's doing. I must say it looks a lot better, especially replacing green ones.
