Why roll your fenders when its 15 degrees outside when you can wait until its minus 8...
But got 'em rolled and Winters mounted for this garbage weather.

Funny thing is she asked for veggies too. Niblet corn, and she at that too. Very atypical.

This year I invested in a second pair of thermal coveralls just for non mechanics stuff. So nice for shoveling at minus 20
I played Civ V for 8 hours, and was rewarded for it with a migraine. I just cant play video games like I used to.
Dishwasher giving out drain clogged code. Ran it a few times, drained it using a Shopvac twice. Turned out there was half a pistachio shell stuck right where it drains into the sink. Hopefully that'll fix it.
Garage door cable jumped it's track last night. Spent some cold xmas morning, even with garage heater full blast, trying to re-coil the cable drum, then reading instructions and getting door motor to re-learn travel distance and motor force. (door kept bouncing back up after cable re-coiling). I miss @AndyL door services

I video called with parents this morning (what a age we live in eh?). Then went ice skating at Olympic park with some of my British chums. It was foooking cold. I didnt skate, I just stood around sipping mulled wine and egg nogg.
Came home, took a nap. Just woke up and threw in some chicken, veggies in the oven for my Christmas Dinner...
Ordered 3 of these timer switches off amazon on Friday:

Surprisingly, they were delivered on Sunday. Spent a few hours installing them in our washrooms. Very easy to do.
Save you some time and money and remember when they start buzzing in a year or two call Leviton Canada and tell them they are all buzzing. They will send out replacements at no charge.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
couple days back, I started setting up my indoor hydroponics setup. And before anyone asks, no, we don't smoke, so this really is for herbs and tomatoes. Bought a couple all in one jobbers, and I have to say i am pretty impressed. My tomatoe plants are already close to an inch tall, and gowing like crazy! I have 5 tomato plants going now, as well as basil, dill, parsley and mint!
These units are really quiet, and take up little space. I have them sitting on my work desk. Only complaint I have is that the LED lights are so bright, but I have learned to pretty much ignore them now LOL

Aerogarden Harvest:

and the Aerogarden Ultra:
https://www.amazon.ca/Miracle-Gro-Ae...3TGA3WK6J3HSDA
The harvest was on sale for $119, and after I did a bunch of research, these seemed like the idiot proof way to go. Sure you can do it cheaper, but, I liked the all-in-one solution. Once I got the Harvest going, I found the Ultra on Kijiji and bought it, as after doing more research, the amount of room the tomato plants take up, figured giving them a bit more room would be better, and keeping the smaller harvest model for herbs and spices.

So, if anyone is considering putting lever handles on their doors with the square base (the part that the handle goes into and rests against the door itself), be aware that the bases can shift and end up not being level. And when they get out of being level, it looks quite horrible. At least if they were 45 degree you'd have a diamond but even being a few degrees out just looks "off" and random. Besides that, when they shift they tend to take paint with it which looks even worse.
So this past weekend I went around to about half the doors in my sub-1-year-old house and leveled all the bases. Pretty simple - loosen the 2 screws, level, tighten. But I'm really wondering why they shift in the first place. Are the screws stretching? Are they loosening? What exactly is happening will determine my permanent fix. If they are just backing out, then locktite should solve that. But if they are stretching (seems unlikely given the limited tension) then it would call for a different fix, like eliminating the base's ability to turn in some manner.
I WILL get to the bottom of this calamity.

i did see that on the reviews but most were from 2015 or so... i hope Leviton would have fixed the issue in their newly-produced ones but who knows.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Good to know they are easy to have replaced though.
I bought an Aerogarden Sprout on Boxing Day. I think I've already used about $10 worth of basil and parsley from it. Will start up some cilantro in it too.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
