    Could even be a multibrew evening. I still have a couple of things to test. The VLC beta from last night is partially in the crapper again. Got changes for Kodi and miniDLNA yet to test.

    You won't need to twist my arm! 1 down and many to go! Looking at the white suds is better than what I'm seeing outside.

    Burp!

    Well add Kodi and mediatomb to the list of close but no cigar. I was told there would be days like this just about everything that I use to play media with had a change or couple dozen to it.

    Ok. Thanks. I ordered two of them. Based on YOUR recommendation!:BrianK:. Got to thinking (I know, dangerous) called my insurance. Seems the damage the mice caused is covered under the the comprehensive part of my auto insurance. I have a $50 decductable. The car place I took it to fixed the wires, but it was still miss firing. Gave an arrays of mised codes so they think it is the computer fried. So now it has to go to the dealership. Thank goodness I still have my truck. Very hard to get into, but rides well. It will be a week before the repair is done.

    Hey I didn't recommend anything, you said no poison this was the safest thing I could come up with, of course you are going to have to do the mice in personally as it is a no kill trap. A miniature have no heart trap somewhat like mine.

    Bucket of water. The trap will need cleaning anyway. Some of the reviews said they caught upwards of thirty mice. I have no love for mice so you know I will send them to the landfill. I would rather not use poisons be for weeds, bugs, or vermin. I have been finding an array of common ingredients that treat the problem without killing the bees, worms, birds and pets.

    Confused are you?

    I have a Have A Heart Trap ( www.havahart.com ) it is a no kill trap.

    I use it for various chicken killing critters along with garden eaters. It is no kill because if the neighbors cats get in it I can release them unharmed. For the others it is a one way trip to the recycle pile

    Well today is much better than yesterday as there were updates for most of what got messed up yesterday. The biggie is that VLC 3.0 beta appears to be functional again.

    I've bought the electronic zapper type mouse trap and I'm impressed with it. I've had the Havahart, spring loaded ones, the bucket, you name it..... One thing I noticed, mice are smart little creatures. Have fun with them, I had it up to here with the suckers:mad:Havahart is good but no movement is required(they leave behind feces and they try to chew the holes to get free), the electronic one if better for that application.

    I think my head would explode trying to figure out what you are resolving. However, for you, I am glad you are working out the kinks to your favor. I just use a canned system and hope to he!! It works.

    That was why it was a multi brew evening. My primary goal is to clean up my media files and it helps to have many programs that are supposed to handle them, the problems start when all of them change at the same time. There are many things I'm working with my favorite one is headed for a major release and I decided to use the Beta version as it had several issues fixed that I was running into with the current stable release. Now after last night's updates I am down to having to find out if Kodi is having trouble with the tags on one music album, everything else says everything is fine In fact that album is currently being played using VLC 3 Beta and is being served by miniDLNA on the Netgear 4500 router. It failed when Kodi served it up to the Smart TV but the same album served by miniDLNA on my computer was fine.

    I got rid of several duplicated albums and other issues and the numbers between my systems are finally coming into agreement.

    Normally but it doesn't have to be. The straight pipe has been known to speak on the lot.

    I saw the strangest looking pellet stove termination I've ever seen today. It was a direct vent installation with a foot or 2 of pipe outside into a T, except the T was upside down with the cleanout cap on top. Coming out of the bottom (top) of the T was a piece of curved, non-pellet looking pipe that basically created a 45 so the exhaust was pointed away from the house. Weird looking.

    Ouch! While trying to sit on my new rolling walker, I went backwards and fell to the floor twisting my bad knee. My son got me up. I was OK at first, but now is too painful to bear weight on. I had forgotten to lock the wheels. :headbang:
