Yes, retired and do more at home then I did at work at times, we have to keep busy to keep on keeping onThanks Mike.... You must be retired too are you? I know what you mean about Friday... I've done that so many times.
A balmy 3 and sunny so the snow has been melting finally. Went out for a walk and ran into a lady I know walking her dog Daisy. As we were walking along the sidewalk she no sooner got the words out "I wish people would shovel their sidewalk" and down she went onto her side and her head hit the snowbank. I knew she was in pain and slowly helped her up and it really hurt to put weight on her left leg. I offered to drive her home and then walk her dog home but she started to walk or should I say limp and the further she walked the leg started to ease up. Geez it can happen in a flash so have to be careful.

That had to be a hard thing to see and be in that predicament, that could have been worse easily. Glad she walked it off.

Hot tub sounds real good right about now and a quite one.Morning fellas
I changed out the water in the hot tub yesterday and finally changed the motor mounts on the thing
It has a simple 3 phase electronic motor on it that I replaced last year
while i was in there i noticed the motor was simply bolted to the frame with 4 1/4-20 bolts
i got all the stuff to replace those bolts (and the 2x4 it sat on) with some rubber insulators but never got round to doing it
i finally took the time to do it and it is crazy how much quieter it is
it used to be that i could hear the motor kick on in the upstairs bathroom, or in the main level bath and garage
now, i have to go through the upstairs bathroom into the sauna to hear it, and i cant hear it down stair at all

My house furnace is forced air and the damn fan makes lots of noise. Not any rattling noise just the air going through the fan. Need to see if I can slow the blade down some.
