    I remember my brother who spent years as an MP then on police force after military. He said don't fear the big guys, it is the smaller ones you really have to pay attention to.

    About 25 hours until the plumbers come back. They didn't feel there was enough room for a 75 gallon water heater, and when I asked about tankless he was quick to recommend against it.

    That's a bit of an inside joke with Menards. They run a 11% rebate every so often, but the rebate are distributed in the mail and take forever before you get the in store credit voucher.

    I did have a rebate that I sent in last year that took at least 4 months to show up...I really had given up on it...figured USPS lost it. The last one I sent in came much quicker though...maybe the usual 6-8 weeks?

    Ended up plowing at the cottage instead of a menards run.

    This was the most "trying" plow job this season as the snow had become sticky and compacted in front of the blade readily. Glad I didn't put it off another day.

    We always have and always will give our dogs table scraps. At the current time, we do not have a dog. I don't think it died from being fed table scraps....

    However, giving treats to another owners dog, we only offer those extremely healthy :)whistle:) mass produced dog biscuits bought in stores...milk bone knock offs. You know the type? They look like colored sawdust and coated with some animal byproducts? Yeah, those are the ones! :rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol:

    yooperdave my shepherd won’t take treats from anyone she does not know and like.

    Most are not food driven
