Lights arrived FedEx...took forever, hooked up...took a while to get level...
This door used to have an A frame shaped paint job...used 2 gallons of airplane stripper a couple months back...outline still visable...so we're making an A frame shaped piece of stained wood up there to cover it.

I'm assuming you tested it with the old mans Flute? or do you have your own? (smiley w/big hug)
LOLOL Old man's Flute :) nah he's pretty picky about who plays his Flute. Anyway I have my own, and it's bigger and better ha ha hahaaaaaaaaaa!! and I run twin pumps so it wasn't terrible I just swapped out the pump for the water feature to daily duty pump. I'm thinking about getting a Variable Speed pump. I am currently searching purchase of aforementioned pump, hopefully @neosapien can help me out here. Which one would you recomment Neo?

Polio vaccine came out the year after I was born. I still remember an older kid who got it. It was a heartbreaking sight and he died young. Nobody wants to see people suffer like that. It's horrible...how could you choose not to take vaccines that prevent shit like that?
Yeah I've seen polio too, ugly shit. Matter of fact I'm one of the last peeps that knows how to use an iron lung. At county when the modern vent's were scarce as hen's teeth the back ups were lungs. What a draconian horror.

Oops meant to weigh in on vaccines and tangented onto old vent tech, sorry. Yeah I waited on my kid's vaccines. I disagreed on their recommended ages. So my kids all started their vaccine cycle as they were weaning. I think we give them just a tad to early in nursing infants. I think they do better a little bit older assuming they have mom's immunity. If not being nursed then I think the schedule is right. Herd immunity relies on all of us being immunized and you really do not wish to be cleaved from the herd and allowed to die in the wilderness...

My mom was an RN. She told me about iron lungs when I was little...and a lot of other scary medical stuff. Different world back then.
