Sparky says this is a high-traffic pinch point because it’s the easiest way to get passed the highway fence. If I can get him a Mosin–Nagant, he says the coyote problem will be resolved.
Karl may have one. Hell, Karl may have Häyhä old rifle. He collects all kinds of stuff, and has a good opinion of Sparky. Karl could have a Suomi KP/-31, but he’d never let a dog use a submachine gun.
Where the hell did this come from?
Yesterday evening, Sparky and I sat out in the cool damp for a while. It was so pleasant, I thought about getting out my pipe.
Yeah, a cookie, a little trophy, or something for being so meticulous.
Well, not me, because I blew the smoke detector deadline by 7 months, but the prospect of some recognition would have been motivational.
I had a brain wave and checked Amazon to see when I bought the last set of smoke detectors. That’s not bad, I’m only 7 months late. The old smoke detectors are testing okay so I wasn’t in peril. That’s better than I’d expected.
I also scheduled an email to be sent to myself in 2036 to change the smoke detectors.
I am on fire today.
Sparky doesn’t understand why I keep tethering him outside for a few minutes as I test each new install.
Max has potential.
Sparky likes him because, “He is not good with small animals or chickens.” He says Max sounds like a sensible fella.
When the power went out a couple of days ago, my electricity was back in a few hours, but my home automation didn’t come back.
While I was having my coffee this morning, I noticed these guys screwing around in front of my house.
What are they doing? Don’t know. Probably some X-files bullshit. They may be with the water department.
When towing a trailer that weighs over 3000 lbs, a brake controller is required. My new Tacoma doesn’t have one. My last Tacoma didn’t either, but the RV dealership put one on in about 15 minutes because the wiring harness was already there.
Toyota decided to stop doing that. Now they sell Tacomas with a tow package, but no brake controller or provision to install a brake controller.
A few people have instructions online for the installation, but none of them match up. It’s a research project. I’m going to wait for a couple of weeks until Tech Support at the company is back from vacation.
