Morning all

Weekend flew by. Friday night went out to eat with the Mrs. Road construction and closures made getting their interesting
Saturday night going away party for my niece
Sunday lost some money at the horse races
 
Older 3 leave until Friday night for their sperm donor's last week of vacation. Dodger is pissed bc she has homework and would rather just go to school instead of being with him. The other 2 aren't thrilled either as they usually go to his mom's house to avoid him.
Football this week & then it's wiffleball weekend. Have my snow fence up to keep drunks out. However it looks to be rainy & storming this entire weekend.
 
I was set to break even for the day yesterday on a trifecta bet but one of horses I had fell back at last second so I ended up with 1, 2nd, and 4th horse

Son of a bitch

Did you bet on the horse I gave you the insider tip on?
 
hey hey

had a good weekend...no real plans but got out on the water a bit, went out to dinner...and then washed the cars yesterday before going to the pool. Not too shabby.
 
Went to the Bengals game saturday.. not that I'm a Bengals fan but tailgating was good. Had dinner with friends Friday and went to the strip club with the wife last night.

My sons team won 12 0. The team they beat won their league last year.

I did not, I am sorry

I also don't think it raced :) they usually do get a break
 
SOB. Something got into the attic and died. Have it narrowed down to over the master bathroom, so not just a room we can close off and wait it out. Got up in the attic, where it is about 145 degrees in the Texas heat, and can't get far enough back because it is about 2' of blown insulation piled up. I think I see where something could have gotten in, we have stupid assed squirrels that love to chew up my facia so I'm afraid it may be one of those. In which case it will stink for almost two weeks. FML. So after work I'm gonna take down the light fixture in the master since it is the thing furthest back and see if I can see anything in the insulation. It's a very long shot, but not much else option short of paying someone to come in and pull all the insulation out or rip out drywall to search for it.

I even tried my FLIR camera and it must have died in the insulation because I can't see any temp differences from inside the house. @Peter Gozintite got any tips/tricks for dead rodent removal?
 
Not after he looked it in the mouth.

I'll take the category, Things That Make Absolutely No Fucking Sense Whatsoever, Alex.
I know a married couple that would go to strip clubs together. They even dragged Mrs Redfoot and me along once.

I agree with you, it's peculiar. Honestly, I'm not a strip club guy anyway. Only been to three in my life. Once with a bachelor party, once because a big customer of mine wanted to go, and the aforementioned time. Just not my thing.

Big waste of time and money. Half the strippers are lesbians and the other half have their loser boyfriends hovering around.

You are going to have better luck getting access through an exhaust fane that a light fixture. The j box will be secured to the framing. The exhaust fan housing may allow you to get up there.

Attics are fucked this time of year, especially when it gets tight near the eaves. I have attached extension poles, for painting, like. 4' to 8' pole and attached it to a leaf rake head to clear insulation.

Harbor freight sells a like borescope camera that you can drill a little 3/8" hole and insert the camera into ceiling and wall spaces. Has helped me find stuff before. Think they are 75 bucks.

Yeah I have one of those borescopes and it was no help. our house is insulated with paper rolled out and then cellulose sprayed on top of that. Can't get the scope up through the paper side of the insulation. It's also why we can't see where this thing died, it's just absorbing into that paper. I did take one of the exhaust fans down and the good news there is the little flapper to keep hot air from blowing back inside had gotten stuck at some point. So I cleaned it all up and that is working again, but still no clue.

Ended up calling a guy who says he will come out and find it. "or if I can't find it I won't charge you to remove it". Gee thanks. $150 to come out, $150 to get it and clean up if he finds it. I'm certain he is going to step into the 145 degree attic tomorrow, look, and say "nope, can't find it" and I'll still have the smell but minus a nice steak dinner. Fingers crossed he finds it, and if so that's one of the better $300 I'll spend.

Back in 2000, the best man for my 1999 wedding got married. He had big plans to strip club hop and get blackout drunk for his bachelor party. His wife was going to do the same with all her girlfriends. Neither of us knew anyone else in either friend group, so the wife and I wanted to stay together; but neither party rightfully liked the idea of having the opposite sex tag along. The wife and I decided to hit the first strip the guys hit - just to prove my wife was cool like that. I bought her a lap dance right next to my buddy so everyone could see her. After that, they hopped clubs and we bailed. We walked along the beach, found a quiet spot and I fucked her. We were the only ones from either party that got laid that night. There's a beach spot in Satellite Beach, Florida stained with my DNA. :thumb:

Coincidentally, this week I'm on my 25th Anniversary vacation with the wife and we're hanging out in Texas with that same couple who got married in 2000. :yo:
