This is what happens when one doesn’t use the Bluetooth bbq thermometer and under cook the turkey. The horror!

Birria tacos for lunch. Damn…. Now I need a nap

My wife took her Range Rover Evoque in for a small coolant leak. She got this overnight as a loaner. I didn't get to drive it, but I would have traded the Evoque in a second......

Same energy...

Outlet to microwave lost power. This is second one I pulled looking for source of power. First had five 12/2 neutrals in one red wire nut with no tape. This is ONLY tape....
Time to buy more smoke alarms.....

And more fire extinguishers!
:yikes:

Jesus. Thats some hack poop if I’ve ever seen it. Best grab a bag of wire nuts and new switches and receptacles. If one switch has the wire stabbed in the back, I’m betting other switches and receptacles do also. I’ve made a pile of money reworking outlets, thanks to the stupid/lazy

I haven't seen a stab anywhere except the light switches in the kitchen. This cluster fudge is where they ran the power to the microwave over the stove and replaced switches and outlets in the kitchen with the rockers and square outlets. Rest of the house is normal switches.

My stepson is in the 'biz'. I have like six 5# extinguishers and four 10#ers....... free

SIx wire nuts and three jumpers and everything works again.

I am not an electrician but even I would not think that looks right. I usually do my own wiring and on occasion my son, electric engineer, looks at my work and criticizes it.

It’s easy! Black wires go on the brass connector. White wires go opposite. Ground ago to the case.
GFIs can be daisy chained so a single GFI can protect multiple outlets if wired correctly.
Often when wiring is added outlet boxes and switch boxes are used as junctions rather than stringing a home run cable to the main box as it should. If there is attic access that shouldn’t be a problem but it does take more wire which is expensive these days.

The last guy could have used your help...

I've never 'learned' electrical..... or a lot of other things. I just look it up as I go. Basic stuff is easy enough, but if I had to do a three way switch I wouldn't remember.

I have been looking for a new stock and I can't find but one that will fit and according to the web those have been cracking. I thought I knew what I wanted but because of where my bolt release is it won't fit. I am going to talk to Richards micro fit and see if theirs will fit. I may have to get cpj to make me one.

I had ONE outlet go out in my kitchen.
After checking the breaker box I went to the upstairs bathroom and reset a GFI.

I had no choice at that price.

Got a link to that deal?

What does a Pirate say if you kick him in the nuts???

That looks like low back pain coupled with a serious fall, and, no cup holder .

Oh it’s a short sit affair, for SURE. But it was too cheap to pass up and can be cut and hacked to fit a specific purpose of need be.
I’ll add a rail what for keeping me in and for a shooting rest.

Yeah, you cant make one for that price, I think we just rotated the last one out of the field by our hunting shack, replaced them with some 2 seaters.

I prefer the two seater. But it’s a cork soaker to set one up by yourself, and you need a little more tree than the single. I needed something more portable than a two holer.

Local wildlife officer once confiscated a guy's homemade tree stand.

It was a chunk of extension ladder hose clamped to a folding chair. Held onto the tree with yellow polypropylene rope that had dry-rotted in the sun.

I think I posted this on the old forum, but this is a blind that the cowboy that runs cattle on my ranch…. Engineered:
It’s a box on top of painters scaffolding ratchet strapped to a “tree” of questionable strength and bailing wire’ed to a T-Post

But he has a great view down the pipeline ROW

That cowboy just wanted some shade in Texas

These are all just an excuse for an adult clubhouse
