  1. say hey to the Friendly Kiwi....Where's the monkey?
  2. 1989 but there are many exceptions where it is still in use. Just don't go scraping it up & eating the remains. https://www.epa.gov/asbestos/epa-actions-protect-public-exposure-asbestos#:~:text=1989 Partial Ban on the,These uses remain banned. One of the more common hot spots for asbestos is drywall mud. When I sold my business I started up a asbestos testing business for the new owner. I got certified & he did too. It's shocking how much is still around & in use. I only got certified to help the new owner navigate the process. At the next renewal I let it lapse
  3. That linoleum almost certainly has asbestos. Don't disturb it. Fine to go over the top with it
  4. 1) Follow the money 2) go find the strippers
  5. Last couple years we have had a happy hour with the neighborhood. We have 7 houses around a small park. So we invite everyone plus a couple of "alley" neighbors. We have it in the little park. Last year it went 3 or 4 hours. Much hilarity was made.
  6. Literally Business in the front & party in the back
  7. We traveled to Orcas Island a couple days ago. The lovely Sara with an H was going to talk with her builder & tell him it's too expensive. Can't build it. They knocked down some trees across the road and that opened up a view of the sound. We saw the view and that changed everything. We met with him and she scaled it down to a 1 bedroom. It's going to be tight but it's the right thing. We had a 7:05 ferry ride out Sunday. We'd have to get up at 5:00 am to load up & go. She was looking for any openings on a later ferry all day today. Finally about 5:30 or 6:00 one popped open at 11:15 am. She grabbed it and life is good again...other than Eos (Golden Retriever) hurt her dew claw on our hike today.It was bleeding when we got home but she wasn't limping or favoring it, I got some bandages & taped her paw up. Both doggehs sleeping after a good day
  8. and those pioneers were #2 again....Donner party undefeated & reigning champs
  9. The hill in front of the house in the old country was 15% ish. I had to finish on that hill every ride. I dreaded it. But. It was only about 2 blocks long
  10. jeebus....instead of calling it the basement...do you just say I'm going down to the Armory
  11. We're #2!....wait just a sec. Remember when I said I hated 36 & raining a couple weeks ago? It went on for 2 weeks. This just after a couple of teasers of 60 degrees. Last week it snowed a tiny bit overnight as it got a little bit under 32 degrees....then warmed up to 40....for 5 days in a row. This is why my brother has a house in Az....it may be Stepfordville but it's sunny. Just wait for Spring Break when it's raining & 45.I went to a baseball game last week & it was 36 & raining with a wind-chill of 27 The weather here sucks right now

    wait wut? He is able to drive a stick shift? I think he is a 1%er where in the world did he learn to drive a stick?
  13. I just checked the webcam. There was a pickup towing a trailer carrying a pickup. Izzat like calling an Uber for cowboys? Arrival time: Now
  14. yes....I am waiting for @parodybot to start a thread....My first ever Lap dance tommorow
  15. Sorry @2Far Hugs all around
  16. Napalm....but only in the morning
  17. That's the Alzheimers test. If they ask you to draw a clock & show the time as 1:42 be worried. Yes I would flunk the 5 things test My annual was in January. Got my RSV shot, finger up my but & labs. Dr emailed & said everything perfect. So I'm good for another year
  18. When I was working (outside) I always felt the worst weather was 36 degrees & rain. Typically a few snow flakes mixed in. Today & next few days are going to be that exact scenario. It is currently 37 degrees & it has rained almost an inch since midnight. I took the Golden Retriever out for her late night walk at 11:00 pm last night. I was in my assless chaps PJs . I had to change PJs since I was so wet. I'm putting off taking the dogs on a morning walk ugghhh
  19. they said Bless your heart to you a bunch?
  20. That sounds really cheap for all that stuff
  21. https://www.redfin.com/ https://www.zillow.com/ This is what everybody uses to snoop into other peoples lives. Keep it on the down low because hardly anyone has used these sites
  22. When I started my garbage/scrapping business my version of "selling" was to go put out business cards on job sites & wait for calls to roll in. I had just met & married my wife & she was a natural "people person". She ran a portion of the business Final Cleaning homes that we had just scrapped out. So builders would call each of us seperately. One afternoon I was in my home office & a builder called me & scheduled the final haul off. Took about 2 minutes tops. I'm sitting in the office & her phone rings...it's the same builder I just talked to. I figured he was scheduling the Final Clean so didn't pay a lot of attention. Over 30 minutes later they hang up & she comes in to talk. Did you know Bob is going to the Caribbean for the Winter. He's sailing down there for a month. And a bunch of other stuff. Right then I knew I had to get better. It took me about 10 years to get slightly better but I was never in her league. I was in single A ball & she was a major leaguer
  23. We were by the D'Orsay museum in the early evening & wanted to go to the Eiffel Tower. We started walking and came across some pedicabs. We asked how much? Cabbie points to the sign. It was a little high but OK...it's an experience. We get in & guy drops us off. I hand him Euros...he mimes 2x euros. Price was per person. I'm not sure to this day if he was scamming an American tourist

    Seems Toronto has a problem....duh. Just saw this article recently. Portland got a problem by shifting car cops to regular shifts due to short staffing. So naturally car thefts increased. I've heard it's a little better. For a couple 10 years Kia cars were super easy to steal. Many modern Hyundais and Kias lack a useful anti-theft device called an immobilizer, which prevents a vehicle from starting when someone attempts to use a key or key fob that doesn’t match the car. This means that thieves can simply break into the vehicle, remove the steering column cover, jam a makeshift key into the ignition cylinder, and start the car. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/24/world/canada/toronto-car-theft-epidemic.html?unlocked_article_code=1.YU0.jf2S.hI0yUwg8p4Oo&smid=url-share
