When I worked in the old Post Office building in downtown St. Paul everything was rewired or repaired "live" since with all of the wiring added over the years no one knew what breakers shutoff what and they couldn't risk killing power to computers. Won't have liked to be doing that but understood since the building was only wired for lights and fans when it was finished in 1934.
Just got a call from my dad. My dad's dog who I mentioned awhile back wasn't doing to well is
going to put down tomorrow.

Small one. The guy basically just came in and posted about how he found this website with all of the exact same stuff as Heartland except for 1/4 of the cost. I basically said good for you and called him out for being a ****.
It was probably more about deleting his stuff and less about deleting you calling him out. There is no place for that here when we are dealing with a site sponsor.
may have gotten a bit buzzed off trying the drink for tomorrow. Just one drink! Probably cause I'm hungry too. On the up side, the drink is pretty delish and fall themed.
If you quote a post that is subsequently deleted, your response with the quote enclosed is often deleted as well. I've lost posts before, not because of what I said, but because I quoted the offending post in my response.
People are saying I've only been deleted when quoting KC.
Well that story has a better ending than the one I'm going to tell since you reminded me of it. KC may not want to read further.
It was hay making season and there was a load left over from the night before to put in the silo, started the tractor let it warm up, then flipped on the PTO to start the blower just got going and it plugged (WTF?) shut everything down went back to figure out what happened and sure enough a cat took a nap in it and when it started it scooped it up and then it got jammed in the shear plate area. It was a mess to clean up.
we had one crawl in the elevator (for unloading small bales) between loads. The kittens would hang out there because there was comfy hay and such. We always chased them out before starting, but we must have had a longer break or something and a dumb one came back. I saw it before it got smashed and yelled to my dad. He jumped off the elevator but (I didn't see this. back turned as I scrambled down), caught his foot on a lever of some kind and basically face planted next to the tractor. So I shut off the tractor and am then very confused at where my dad went. Found him laying next to the tractor moaning and thought he somehow got run over. Several minutes of pretty solid panic by me and other family members as they came down to see why the elevator was off. Didn't die (obviously) but knocked the wind out pretty solidly (the moaning was him trying to breathe) and probably bruised some ribs.
Kitten survived, dad wasn't a fan of it. Pretty sure it died later in the summer due to fleas anyway. Sister never put Frontline on it.
heading to the Wi and Penn State volleyball game soon. Should be good.
Glad your ok I sort of wanted to rate it funny, but I didn't want people to misunderstand, I've done stuff like that also. Do stuff all the time, then something bites you, as long as no one gets hurt all is well.

Tailgating for the first time in years tomorrow and Fareway was out of frozen cinnamon rolls (rise and bake kind) tonight. Will have to make a quick run to WM after little kids are asleep and hope they have some. Really don't want to run to Hy Vee.

This is why I always slap the hood, hard, several times before getting in the car.

In Home Depot tonight and when I was checking out the store was, of course, playing Chaka Khan's Tell Me Something Good
BTW, had to go to the Depot because I hadn't been there all day and I had made two Menards runs and one Ace Hardware run. The Depot was calling me.
