Ah ok, nothing special. Just pulling out deck screws with an impact driver. Thought it might be a special bit for damaged screws, I have a few of those,.

Flashed BIOS on my ASUS mobo. The PC had started waking up from sleep for no apparent reason (hackers?) So I wanted to disable mouse/keyboard wakeup suspecting one or the other could send a wake up call, but with no luck. Anyway, ended up having to install Asus AI control suit, or whatever it's called just to reflash the bios, coz without it it can only be done in DOS. Success. After playing with a few setting the PC is fast and fans are quiet again. Serenity now.

p.s. Asus AI uninstalled - less things to load on startup.

Interesting, never heard of them. See it is reviewed well on Amazon, just doesn't last too long.

Motorcyclists use a similar type of thing, but it is way more money:

My friend had one. His looked basically like an Igloo cooler with a circulation pump. Because of the coolers size it stayed cool (or warm) forever. And because of the simplicity of design, it just worked.

Let us know how yours works.

You need this little fix on the walker. Carries the walking stick attached. Cost about $3 from Home depot.

Hoping I will not need them that long

Warmed up nicely on Sunday, good day to work in the garage. Rehung the bikes for the winter, arranging the hooks to hang them upside down rather than rightside up. Way easier:

After many delays going back to the summer...my driveway is finally being paved on Wednesday. Hopefully.

Huge a TV in the bedroom yesterday. Today I figured I would tackle putting a plug and a cable outlet behind the TV on the wall for the clean install.

3 hours later, fishing the cable was a nightmare but I got it done. Unfortunately it seemed like there was a cross beam in the wall, the fish kept bending and the stud finder beeped right where it was bending so I cut a slit to see and NOTHING. Argh! So I have to repair the drywall (just some mud and paint thankfully) but still annoying I wouldn't have had to, if I just had got the fish down in the first place.

LOL, following the code. I always do. Is there something illegal about putting a plug in the wall?

If you're not licensed, or have it inspected by a licensed electrician, then I'd say yes.
