My neighbor likes the electric one she got at Costco. But, you can rent them (gas only) at Home Depot and elsewhere.

I like that idea.

Meanwhile on the North Fork...........

Crawling under the house to turn on the ice maker water must have been a blast. I put mine in the cupboard under the sink. It's in the back, but easier to reach than under the house. Mrs insisted on an ice maker on the last fridge purchase some ten years or more ago. She loved it. And then the novel...

Damn it. I'm getting sucked into becoming a weed yuppie. Remember that first time you could taste the difference between different wines, beers, and liquor? That's happened to me for weed. And I have to say if you live in Oregon, find some of the Mimosa strain. It's got 30%THC and 1%CBD. So, it's go...

I like Boyles delivery. His jabs can be subtle. He does have a flair for language. What I wasn't aware of was the practice of withholding bonuses. That's not a bonus if it's *not deposited* in your bank account. It's vapor. It's fiction. That would piss me off if I was given a big number, told it wa...

Knowing this person depended on this card for their sustenance, why not offer them a discount, or no charge, to help them stretch ...

Here is another one from the same group. It has a shawm, what I think is a buisine , and a percussionist with wood and bells. The buisine does not look much different from a Roman Tuba, which would make sense. https: //youtu.be/sxgdT4P3Epk?si=TCoPklTQ3VO_-sb4 Don't move fast or you'll break that lo...

Talk about SCA!!!

I loved the 'proto-trombone' - what's it actually called?

And what are those reeded instruments? Surely not Oboes - (no valves, just finger holes) but maybe?

I take it that thing on screen right is a drum? (JK)
I think it's called a sackbut.
