Poor guy learned a lesson the hard way. Hopefully he appreciates his luxury and does his business outside. My parents had Great Danes when I was a kid. The monster turds those dogs could drop was always horrible. Probably part of the reason I went so long not wanting any pets as an adult; I spent years of my childhood taking care of lots and lots of animals.
Yeah I have ZERO issues with him going inside the house. Yeah he takes big dumps but at least I can see them in the grass unlike little turds that hide between the blades of grass lol

Now that I'm reading my own meter again (meter reader is completely incompetent lying POS) I'm back on track. They had me worried because they guesstimated most of the year and in their last report they were telling me I was using more gas than anyone.

Now it's realistic and I'm happier. Time will tell how this winter goes - I just need to remember to read my meter monthly.

Fixed a leak in my kitchen sink drain, figured out the garage electrical, and the guys are here now cutting down and trimming mine and my neighbors' trees.

Now that I view it on a real monitor I can see that its antennas. You should talk to him... have him do a class for wanna-be HAM guys who need to pass the test. I know a few folks (me included) who would attended.

Got one light fixture installed. I like these.. not stupid bright but bright enough. Using the Lever Nuts to connect the wires made life easy. Hardest part was straighten out the Romex so they would slid into the hole. But it made getting all the wires up into the block possible. Now to get started on the next one. Shitty part is that its above my trailer.

Second light is up. I had to move it over not centered over the garage door. I like it better as it shines more light down over near the Taco. Now I'll get two more of these and take the old 2 bulb housings and put them around the garage in the darker places. I think to the right of the second light is a good candidate area.

Home Depot has some of their Ring cameras on sale this weekend. I finally picked up a doorbell 2 for my house. We have started having more and more vehicles "door checked" at night in my neighborhood. These events plus my new job travels are not making me sleep any better lately. At least the thefts are making everyone in the neighborhood pay attention again. As for my house; I put spare magazine of hollow points by the front door. Last thing I want to do is retreat to reload.

I liked my Ring. When we went with Vivent we lost it and to be honest I think the Ring was better... not by a lot though.

Seeing the garage at night and the wife thinks its too bright, sadly she is wrong. I think its in need of a few more (as are on order). I said I need them for working at night, she said all you do at night out there is drink beer. She may have a point, regardless the lights are on order.
