    Glad that worked, Nancy. As far as the satellite finder, there are apps for that. :D We have a satellite TV setup in our motorhome, so it's always iffy to find the signals when we're traveling. I downloaded a satellite finder app for my cellphone and it works great.

    I downloaded an app that finds the satellite. Very :cool: thing. I just couldn't figure out how you use it to adjust the actual dish. Probably I got the wrong app.

    When you turn the faucet on, the water spews out like crazy around that cap on top.

    It may just need debris cleaned out inside, according to YouTube videos. Either way I have to turn the water off. Didn't want to do that twice, just in case it needed a new valve (plastic).

    Does it get overheated easily? Are the clippers Wahl brand or just your attachments you bought for it? Curious because I looked for different ones over the years for my pup. Years ago I bought a couple of different ones supposedly for pet hair that just did not hold up at all. If I could get them to last 6 months to a year I was doing good. So, I eventually gave up. I've been hand cutting whatever pup I have for years now with scissors. I have read some pretty good reviews on the Wahl brand though.@Hugh Manely

    I bought this a few weeks back because of a multitude of miscellaneous wood things that needed cut and cleaned up around here.

    From WORX-4 1/2" Compact Circular Saw. Way easier for me to handle than a full size one. I was looking for something I could handle in weight and that would be big enough to cut through 2x4s'. I like it! I had it all done in no time, then onto the burning pile. This is what you call purging crapola in the garage too. I like Worx products!

    Thanks.

    That's good to know. My well water has flecks of mica in it. I bet at some point they are gonna need this replaced, or at least cleaned out. I had no idea.

    This morning I ordered a Digitrax Zephyr DCC Controller for my model railroad layout.

    It will be a huge improvement over my 45-year-old Analog DC unit, having programmable sounds like Whistle, Horn, Bell, Chuff, Air Brake Compresser, Dynamo, Brake Squeal, Coupler Crash, Crew Chatter, and other authentic sounds digitized from the real thing.

    I bought this square broiler pan a while ago for my convection oven...[​IMG]

    ...not realizing it would not fit this rectangular pan that came with it...
    [​IMG]

    ...so when the proper companion pan finally came back in stock I ordered it...

    That sounds like a crazy adventure, John. Now tell us about the time you bought a saucepan that came without a lid. What a risk taker you are.

    It wasn't the missing lid that was an issue, it was the lack of any 'This End Up" markings.

    What a nightmare...

    Bought fleece sheets from Wayfair, my first ever purchase from them. They were on sale for $21 so I ordered two sets and a mattress pad. Online shopping spoils you. Biggest advantage I think is the selection. Brick and mortar stores can't carry every style, size and color but online they can...and it's brought right to your door yet!
