    Never met my BIL. Knowing what I know about him, I wouldn't want to. Daddy gave him all he needs, including buying him into an ivy league school when he didn't have the grades to go to a state school, and his company that was handed to him. Rough life..

    I was 225 and could eat drink as much as I wanted, my metabolism would process it and I wouldn't gain fat/ weight. Then I turned 30. Now I have to watch it.

    It's a 2" flex dryer pipe that I slide over the exhaust on the back of the tailpipe. It allows me to vent the vehicle exhaust outside when I'm warming the car up or working on it in the garage. I pass it under the garage door and bend it up so there is no fumes blowing back in.

    :rofl: :lol: Thank you, I was puzzling over it too. Cool safety tip, as well as cars warming up out here are stolen often. You can get a ticket if you are caught puffing.

    What kind of a man shovels his whole driveway while the tractor just sits in the garage and looks pretty. This guy.:thumbs:
    Asked the kids if they wanted to shovel or just let me hit it with the tractor. They said shovel. I was kind of proud.

    This is what they're predicting for snowfall, throw in high winds and that should make for some nice driving, Watertown should be fun.

    Love tiling on the diagonal, relatively simple but so sexy! What is your underlayment? I paid the extra bucks for Ditra in the kitchen and it is very nice to work with.

    I have to confess this is not real slate...although it looks like it even up close. It is limestone base with a vinyl pattern coated with aluminum oxide. I hate cold hard tile on my feet but love the look. This is a decent compromise.

    Oh man. I need to get some caffeine going. Been up since 5:15, but since I fed the dogs and the boiler I've been horizontal in the chair!:emb: Time to get going.
