Art,
The number of breakers in a box means nothing.
You can have a 200 AMP 42 circuit panel full of breakers and only be drawing 80 amps at any one point in time.
Get an amp probe or have an electrician check the amp draw and or load on each leg of your system with everything on and see where your settin.
There's a real good possibility that you could either double up a few seldom used circuits or at least but in double single pole breakers to gain a space or 2.

It just keeps getting better. Here's a little news clip of the plant I call home. Any one got room for a family of four?

Brian B. Only thing that I can do is agree with you. We're happy to be homeowners since rent around here seems to magically be around the same as a house payment. Scary part is ... someone that can't afford a house payment will have trouble paying rent. Unless they want a slumlord.

Sorta off topic only .... man I wish someone would actually rescue this socalled beyond salvage truck. Okiboji Truck Image Scroll down and enjoy the other haunting images.

Been working on the honey do list. Concrete, Flower beds. Rails is to much for a old man like me. Some of that He said NO, SHE SAID YES, bUT SHE WON.

My cub time has been hampered by me spending time refurbing my 1976 Harley Davidson electric golf cart. Still need some decals, but it's turning out OK. Likely the only Harley I'll ever own...

Here's a picture, with my granddaughter as the spokesmodel:

Greg Lippert,

Love that diamond plate.

Well getting better as far as the job goes but looks like will be losing the house in Augusta. Nearly six months on the market and I've only had three walk throughs on the house. Man, the things that KILL my Cub time.

On the bright side; the apartment has a small garage so I can keep the Cub here in Wisconsin. I'm sure my neighbors are geeked about that! Maybe I can sneak in a tear down this winter, it really needs it.

 

[mhomrighausen]

Okay... I'll admit that this isn't exactly killing my Cub time however it has been bugging me for almost thirty-five years. Waaayyyy back in the early '70s while driving home from a date one night I heard a country song being played on the radio. The singer was a male and the lyrics went something like this;

"Here comes that old cold shoulder again. It seems like I've found a long lost friend. Walking down that old cold shoulder again."

The song was about a fella that was living the simple life and met/married a woman that wanted to change him to her world and how she saw things should be.

Does anyone know more or have the artist/song title offhand? TIA...

Marlin: The closest I can come to it:
Here I go down that long road, again,
Going places that I've never been,
Never knowing where it will end,
Here I go down that long road again.
I'm babysitting a rental cabin that has sattelite TV and I found Willie's Place on Sirious Radio. Talk about a little piece of heaven. Pics to follow.

 

[thoffman]

Isn't that Willie's "On the road again"? I don't think it's that old. Is it me or am I not getting any older too??

 

[mhomrighausen]

I know that Willie Nelson didn't sing this particular song. The singer had a slightly deeper voice and sang the song in a somewhat nonchalant/matter-of-fact style. I've searched all over... youtube, etc.

 

[fcurrier]

The cabin I babysat all week:

With above normal temps and very little snow (and Willie's Place) and a friend's tailgate to help put wood on the porch it sure couldn't be classified as a "job".

Maarlin; You might look that up at the MIDI files.

 

[mhomrighausen]

Frank C. That looks peaceful.

Luther H. I may have found the song. I've tried Google, MIDI Files, youtube,etc. For some strange reason something said to try typing in Here Comes that Old Cold shoulder in Ebay's search. Believe it or not one 45 rpm record by Thom Bresh called That Old Cold Shoulder came up. I e;mailed the seller and inquired about the lyrics and they replied back... "Yes. it has those lyrics." So, as soon as i get the record, I'm going to have it transferred to a couple of CDs and put it on youtube for all to enjoy.

 

[mhomrighausen]

Ohmigosh... somehow I found this song on youtube. Another that I only heard once waaayyyy back when. Please Pass The Biscuits

 

[jbaker]

I do have cub stuff to do for spring but here is some things that take my time...

But worth it.. My two youngest daughters are in 4H

first 4 week old pure bred cochins and brahmas

second is 10 day old mixed breed chicks and Dads

third is 14 hour old pure bred lamoncha goat kids a boy and girl

 

[kmcconaughey]

Jeff, those goat kids are cute! The chicks are cute but not nearly so much as the goats.

 

[aaytay]

Kraig-
The goats may be cuter, but which one tastes better???

 

[kmcconaughey]

Art, good point...

 

[wshytle]

Those kids look like they're made of plastic or something in that lighting.

Art-

Our neighbors south of the border would disagree on which tastes better.

Since I do most of my cubbing outside the weather is my biggest enemy. We are having high winds today with gusts up to 40 mph and yes I have some paint that needs spraying.
