It looks like I am shopping for a dryer this week. My current dryer is 9 years old and is in need of a handful of repairs to get it back in shape. The parts cost almost half as much as a new dryer so it is time to upgrade. Hopefully a newer dryer will help knock down the electric bill a little as well.


Sweet just get a few metal posts and clothes line FTW.

Added a new 12" Klipsch reference powered sub to the media room. Hey is one powered sub is good, 5 is better. :banana:

Upgraded to gigabit internet at the house. Haven't tested it yet but I called and it was just a change in their system the office could make to do the upgrade. My modem was Doxis 3.0 so it was good. Pornhub should stream nicely. LOL

Oh and for the record.. 5 powered subs is ridiculous! The new Klipsch is a monster and I had to dial all of them down. Watched the new Warcraft in 4k and it was pretty awesome... my taint was vibrating the whole time... now who doesn't love that? LOL

That is exactly the same image I had in my head the first time I sat in there with it running at full tilt boogie.

Thought so. Even thought that was the same image as you were biying components. :)

Well... my garage is almost spotless!! One area of some items that need to be organized near where the wife parks. But other than that... its pretty damn clean! Cleanest and most organized I think its ever been. I have a few under-cabinet led lights coming this week. I think next week I will order some steel. Maybe just a little at first... don't want to get it too cluttered.

I cut down 6 trees this Saturday. 4 on my mom’s property and 2 on mine. Also trimmed 2 palm trees and trimmed another 5 trees. And finally got around to mowing my lawn. Also started cleaning out my garage so I can install my new-to-me cabinets on Sunday. Well ended up feeling like crap Saturday night and woke up at 11AM on Sunday sick as a dog.

Damn that sucks! I was planning to hit up the FallOut at HF this past weekend but ended up on two types of antibiotics for the foot so I didn't go. I didn't need to get it all nasty dirty or be drinking too much on the meds.

Mother nature said "F-you". Hope you got your box today. UPS says it's on your door step ticking away.

I came home Friday and my neighbor who is a retired sheriffs deputy cut my front lawn for me. It was getting long and I was in a ton of pain last week so I didn't cut it.

Was just about to PM you that I got it. Thanks again! My nephew will be a happy boy!

Yeah I was pretty bummed out about not being able to work on my garage. I still am sick two days later. I can only function because of Mucinex D at the moment. But I'll get started on it this weekend when the weather is cooler!

Mine still has a few cluttered areas but its getting there. I also need to install the LED light bulbs for the fixtures overhead. Maybe I'll work on that tonight.

All I need is this for it and I would be content never going inside. :) I wanna be like Mike.

Seems like that would be a requirement for your area.

It's unreasonably warm up here this week. Close to record breaking. Think it's 80 today and going up to 85 tomorrow. Was in the high 30's last week. Everyone around here is getting sick already.
