How heavy are the bags?
0 -
4 bags total. Some are ~70K, others ~ 60K.
Trust me, I don't ever lift them. I have a system to get them into the Rubbermaid Brute drums, which are on rollers. Back in the factory, the industrial engineers had a saying, "If you want to find the easiest way to do something, give the job to a lazy man."

I've told people that for years.

Blower motor. Replaced it and the capacitor for $125. All good now.

The problem with ACs is they only quit working in the warm weather.

I went to my daughter's house today to install a new receptacle in their kitchen, on a wall between the dining room and the kitchen. I was hoping for an easy job, just cutting a hole in the kitchen wall within the same stud cavity as receptacle in the dining room, and feeding it from that receptacle. I expected plaster and lathe, but when I removed the receptacle from the dining room wall and started poking around, I found brick. Turns out, the wall used to be an exterior wall, and the kitchen was an addition. I persevered though, with a lot of chiseling and chipping and dirt. All is well though, quad GFCI receptacles are installed, and it works.

Had a cat show up a few days ago. I was hoping it would move on but I saw it hunting birds at our feeders. It was in our dog fenced yard so I tried to run it off by chasing it around the yard as I was banging on a five gallon plastic bucket with a stick. The cat was bouncing off the fence while trying to get out. It finally hit a wood slat section and climbed out. I was hoping that would run it off. The cat was a big male.
It didn't leave. I saw it the next day. I didn't want to kill it as I have killed more than I should have in my life.
I needed to have it gone so I got out a live trap and set it baited in the shadows and put some sticks around the trap to camo it. Sure enough I soon had the cat in the trap and it was pissed. I saw me coming a growled and hissed and banged around enough to move the trap. I backed up my truck, dropped the tail gate, put on heavy gloves and hoisted Mr.Cat into the bed. Five miles down a dirt road I found a place to turn it loose. That cat tried to hook me as I was fumbling around with the release snap.I finally got the the trap open, stood back and Mr. Cat left the trap like it was shot out of a cannon. It hit the woods.
If it shows up again Ill have to take drastic measures.5 -

I have a small airport nearby and sometimes when a private jet flies low overhead I imagine what an enemy feels during a war when they get strafed. Those cannons make me wonder the same thing. God, war must be awful. Thank Him that we here, except for a few dear brothers, haven't gone through that.
