WELCOME TO THE WATERING HOLE

A stress-free place to gather and share whatever is on your mind! A fun place of mutual respect where you can hang your hat, vent, relax and shoot the bull for a while!

Happy Easter to all who celebrate that faith.

To all others, Happy Spring!

Easter symbolizes a new beginning, so it is fitting that TWH has a new beginning as well!
Along with RFC, TWH has been remodeled!

Actually, it can be anything you imagine it to be!

I am happy to announce that due to the increased bandwidth of the new RFC, there is no longer a need for the weekly closing and re-opening of TWH!!! After 10+ years of weekly "flipping" we now get to keep the doors open continuously! My sincere thanks to our moderators, especially Sophia, for making this possible!

I would also like to thank all the members who have kept this boat afloat for so long! We have become like family here, and now have a permanent residence!

While we have many long-time members who have been enjoying the company found in this amazing virtual bar, we also welcome all new folks. Jump right in! The first drink is always on the house and Veterans always have an open bar!
Al The Infidel (Tubby Slayer extraordinaire) is the bar manager.

So, let's get this re-opening celebration going! Set 'em up, Al! Drinks all around!!!

Hi Lastshot!!! Welcome back!!!

Say howdy to JG for me!!!

Good seeing you too Don!

It was a very nice day today. I got to hang with the grandkids for a bit and then went to my mom's house and spent a few hours with my family.

I ate waaaaaaay too much today!

Currently at home watching FTWD. It will be an early night for me.

D long. Glade you go t the gas mower up and running. Have you looked at Stihl‘s electric (coal power) robotic mower? You cab set it up to run at night, when it get low on battery it finds the charger. Saw one at a trade-show a couple years ago and was pretty cool.

We went over to the daughter and son-in-law’s for dinner of crab stuffed deer steak. It was very good.

Spring is here we found the first morel of the year, ended up finding 17. Most were real small so we marked them and will come back tomorrow to check on their progress.

Tomorrow is opening day of turkey season, rather than go out and set up. Think I’ll wait til I hear one and go to him. See how it works.

Had I known ahead of time that I would be relocating the modem/router to the top of the kitchen cabinets, I would have looked for a lower profile one. That said, it looks a lot more obvious in this picture than in person. Obviously you’re not normally walking through there looking up towards the ceiling.

I might be able to make a wooden shelf that would allow me to lay it on its side and still be open for ventilation. Not on my priority list at the moment though.

View from up above. I put the connections plate as close to the cabinet as I could get it so everything would be low enough to not see (except for that tall modem end🧐).

I was going to wire an outlet up top too, but the extension cord isn’t bugging me enough to seriously consider that at the moment. It hides nicely behind the refrigerator. If I do the outlet later, there’s an outlet 16 inches to the right of my connections plate and approximately 4 feet down that I could tie into fairly easily.

Just for fun, I put the modem on its side……

A simple slightly elevated and ventilated platform wouldn’t be that hard to make! 😃

Drill a small hole in the top of the back of the cabinet and a small hole in the bottom back and staple the cable to the back of the inside of the cabinet and out the bottom. Nice and neat. No one will ever see the hole in the top or bottom.

That would work, but I would have the modem cord and Lutron bridge cord running through. Plug on the extension cord is too big to run through.

Range was shut today, so range day is Monday this week. Not sure what's coming with me, but it will be a 22, and maybe a 32. Probably both German in origin.

Time will tell - in the meantime, I hope you all had/are having a wonderful Easter.

Cut the plug off the extension cord and put a new plug on after you run it through the cabinet.
