I agree that Terry Crews is funny as all hell, but I had no want to see that movie.
I actually made it thru one showing of "dumb and dumber", so does that count as credit? :LOL:

BTW, how's everyone doing with their Christmas shopping? As usual, Roni and I kinda went overboard. Our son-in-law isnt going to know what hit him this year. :ROFLMAO:
Didn't put lights up this year, though. We got 6" of heavy snow Thanksgiving weekend, and the weather hasn't let up since.
One good thing, though. I'M NOT DRIVING IN THAT SNOW UNLESS I WANT TO!!!!!!! WooHoo!!!! :ROFLMAO:

Spent almost 1000 in sheet metal replacement stuff and tools for Malibu wagon so far..
Probably spend another 500-1000 for sound deadening and heat barrier stuff??‍♂️

We have actually scaled down about 75%.

Our kids have too much shit already.
Trying to focus on one “big thing” ($150 item) and a few small things they need (think socks and undies).

At this point we are just taking “Christmas money” and stacking it aside for family time. Vacations, boat fuel, dad camp trips. Quality time.

Shields is getting a 20 gauge Benelli shotgun. He got a 4-10 mossberg pump last year, with which he shot his first duck and turkey, on his first attempt, so I am upgrading him. I booked a guided hunt in Mattamuskeet the day after Christmas (his best friend and father are also coming) so he is gonna get to try it out. I’m excited for him. He is a great shot, his instincts and timing are uncanny for his age.

We got some gear heads here. My uncle went down to Florida last week for the start of the winter series. He had some good luck
Bill Lutz is your uncle? I'll be darned. Ive read threads about him and his car(s) over on YB. Heck of a racer. Condolences on the carnage.


As to the "snipped" topic -- been there since 2000. Pretty weird you have to have your wife "sign off" on doing it, then she gets to be in the room when the doc does the procedure. My wife was chuckling while it was happening.

So, we adopted a dog from animal control about a week ago. Usual problems when integrating one into a home. He was neutered before he left animal control. Our vet put him on steroids and anti-inflammatory as a result, so it's hard to tell if some of his behavior is related to the meds or just him acclimating to a new space.

I get home from work yesterday a bit later than the norm. Let him out of his crate and notice he's peed in his crate. Kinda of odd, but again he was in there for almost (6) hours so??????? I let him outside, take the crate apart to clean it and move on.

I'm doing a couple honey-do items in the house while trying to watch him. Then I see he's peed on the floor. At this point he's only been back inside for less than 20 minutes. By the time I clean that up, he's peed again, total of (3) accidents in the house in a 30-minute window.

Needless to say, I'm a bit pissed myself by now, I mean we just built this place, everything in it is new.

Side bar to all of this is my wife's iRobot vacuum. She bought it a few months back, I'm like yeah whatever. But it has not been functioning correctly. iRobot has sent out a new base and some other crap; she's been handling it and I'm happy to stay out of it.

She gets home from work yesterday, (it's her birthday) see's all the aftermath of piss fountain I've been dealing with and obviously isn't happy. Did I mention the house is new?

Then she looks at the app for the vacuum. It finally did function correctly yesterday. For the first time in weeks. First time since the dog has been in the house. So, the dogs crate? Wasn't there when the robot mapped the house. The vacuum enters the room where his crate is at and proceeds to bump into it, repeatedly. Probably 30 or more times as it remapped that room.

Now we can see why he peed all over, probably thought that vacuum was trying to get to him. Literally scared the piss out of him.

Moral of the story? Hell, I don't know. Maybe technology is great, until it isn't?

Pic is the vacuum's coverage yesterday. Red arrow is where his crate was.
