What Manly Things Did You Do Today?

all the best with your new adventures Keith..

 

Thank you Joe and Gary!

I'm glad my wife took it well and my son said he'd help out if need be, but I trust God already has plans in order.

 

LMAO!

 

best of luck finding the next thing

 

Thank you Rich.

 

My best to you friend.

 

Thank you.

 

Sorry to hear. What is your profession, and what are you looking to do now??

.

 

Quality control (industrial) ~15 years and construction ~20 years

I'd like to get back into construction maybe as an inspector?

 

Replaced the burner assembly in my water heater. What a pain.

 

Anything with a water heater is a pain.

 

so true

 

Stumbled upon a barbershop nearby. Guy did an excellent job. Ever have your neck shaved, Osage Rubbed, then blown dry with a compressed air hose? Hoo boy.

 

It was a crappy day

Had to unclog the septic, the good news was it was only clogged at the Backflow protector and I saved $325 by checking BEFORE having it pumped

 

I pick this up (free) about three weeks ago (minus the tv and radio). It was in rough shape, but I realized it had enough internal space to make a nice record cabinet.



When we first started it wasn't much more than a weak shell, but my son and I have been working on it in our spare time and have made some serious progress.

 

I remember TV sets like that long long ago.

We were listening to our portable record player till late last night and when I tried turning it off the switch, it failed to work. It turned, but acted unconnected. So today I took it apart and realized it had been broken many years ago and finally failed. I went to the hardware store grabbed some parts and my epoxy. I had to relocate the light under the power switch, but it all back together and better than ever!

 

I know this is "telling my age", but that's okay. I remember the day when this type of thing, along with other electronics, were routinely able to be fixed. Parts could be had and a repairman was in a lot of towns. But not now. We have one electronic repair shop in our area. From what I've read it's primarily there to do "so-called warranty repairs" for companies.

 

I'm very old school ..... I do have a flat screen ~4 years old, laptop ~6 years old, microwave ~24 years old, ..... from there things only get much older (stereo equipment 45-55 years old). If I can fix it / modify or build it I'm very happy. I haven't had cable tv or dish for ~15 years (only use antenna).

As I said before I'm like a little bird "Cheap, Cheap, Cheap" ..... and very happy for it.
