Kid 3 using a blow torch in the living room to tighten up the shrink wrap around wires on his home made light bar.



I have been watching him carefully... hasn't singed the leather chair.

I don't suppose it is a SMALL blowtorch. Hopefully not a weed killer blow torch!

Cheater cheater. That's what I use if it's late and a sudden cold front comes in. I didn't today though just asked the wife whYYYY didn't you put a log on the stove while I was at work It was a nice warm day (bur it's getting cold tonight). I used a starter fluid type gel that I like and the feed store sells.

@CLSranch how close are you to Guthrie? Our DD is in the running for a job in Edmond, but nothing is decided yet. They have been up there to look around and like Oklahoma. They are trying to tempt me into moving with questions like "How many acres would we have to buy to get you to move? We saw 80 acres for sale with a creek and 2 lakes on it......" They want us close to them. We moved here to be close to them, then they moved away for a job. I only want to move 1 more time and I don't think it will be Oklahoma.

But all this talk of snow plowing and snow drifts is not impressing me one bit. I love east Texas, I'll take the heat because I don't have to shovel or plow snow in the winter. That's what air conditioning is for LOL

Thunderstorm rolled in, TV and internet satellite is off, can't post this. TV is telling us we have signal loss, no kidding.

TV is back, I'll see if this will post. Nope. 2 out of 5 dogs are in the house, snoring peacefully on the floor. Our male Great Pyrenees Trip, will jump fences to get to the house when a storm comes in. As long he is in the house with us, he is ok. He has us trained very well to let him in. LOL

Definitely cheating!!

Also a bit big for shrink tube, glad he was careful and didn't just melt it.

3 hrs East north east. It snows more over there than here but gets colder (for 2 days at a time) here. Usually we get a couple of snows a year that's gone in a week. Lucky to get a snow man for DS1

I love that blow torch ... you don't have to split as much kindling.
