D'oah! Idiots.

About 10+ years ago. They're still overrun with critters. Thankfully, there are a few good private organizations out there helping to control the population. Oh, and these types of issues won't get any better with the consolidation...

On the 21st. Did you get my registration & payment last night?

I got my two...

Bobby Flay did just open a new place nearby...

My initial cost was a lot lower, but my monthly is a hell oh a lot higher...

...my 3rd NJ govenor today. Started back with ol' Jimmy boy, continued with Johnny and now the big guy during rush hour today. Does he really need to put on the lights and speed on a crowded in-town road at rush hour???

Yeah... I'm just venting.

I'm putting in a Honeywell Lynx system. Wireless and has the advantage of switching monitoring or service (instaler) companies if I want to do so.

Um, not bloody likely...

Bravo to you for doing the right thing! And bravo to them for correcting it! A lot of customer service these days just doesn't exist.

Ah, OK. I was there betwee 2:30 and 4. Don (the blond, short-haired salesman) and I were joking around with a guy who couldn't make up his mind on a pistol. His girlfriend was nice as she was taking verbal jabbing from all of us...

With your girlfriend and another guy?

In a pinch, I picked up a Husky ~6k Watt portable unit. Finally had a transfer switch installed and now can run my well, sumps, gas heat, kitchen and living room. Under 1k spent. Not auto start, but good enough for now.

Were you at HG yesterday?

Had to explain that one to my "salesman." He had no idea...

It looked more authentic than the beard and outfit.

Flipping awesome!?

Ha, hah, ha!!! No one in my area carried what I was looking for in stock, so I jumped the river and got into too long a discussion with the kid at the counter. At least I'm rid of my rodent issue for the time being. Although his brother is moving in on his territory since he "disappeared."

If you go across the river, just be sure not to let it slip that you're frm NJ. It will take you an additional 45 minutes for the rookie behind the counter to find, improperly fill out and then properly fill out the paperwork... Ask me how I know.

Class 6 - Bear steals your pic-a-nic basket! (Sorry, couldn't resist. I've had to deal with bears in the past and found that the bumper of a '91 Jeep Wrangler works well to convince them to move on.)

Basic sounds like it will be more useful to serve as a prerequisite for anything else that I may take in the future. Thanks for the help & patience. I'll be signing up soon.
