    Yikes! Just found out first hand what it costs for a plumber these days ... no wonder people try to do it themselves ... I too will likely do what I can when needed.

    For the record, two kitchen sink strainers replaced came to $274 ! One year warranty.

    More work lol I go to superior dairy Canton Ohio every other day for work to deliver bulk milk. One of our guys had MSU tickets and so I offered to cover his trip for him but that only left me 4 hrs sleep so ya I'm a whooped feller.... And I forgot food so I have to find dinner before I leave the dairy in canton tonight and head back to Michigan.

    About as bad as the hydropower plant I heard about down on the Ohio river. They made 'em build a new habitat for some species of Ohio protected frog that lives in the area of the new plant...then catch so many of them and move them to their new home a couple miles down the river. Big $$ and held up the whole project, the best part...right across the river in Kentucky those same frogs are considered nothing more than a nuisance...kill as many as you want :headbang:

    Tomorrow I'll be moving around some pine with the bucket, we are starting a winter wood pile for the outdoor fireplace.

    We have a bunch of piles all over the place so I should put on another two hours on the tractor. A week from Sunday, I would like to have 35 hours on it and once we hit 50 it goes back for a checkup and the backhoe. :yes:

    Cyclones vs UNI. They should make the mascot for UNI, the corns. They are the panthers now, but UNI Corns sounds better. Because, Iowa. ;)

    I guess it's true. Once you're retired, you lose track of the days!
