Thanks for the suggestion but I already have a Mason jar full of fireflies (lightning bugs) for that purpose -

Hopefully found my new butcher shop about a mile from my house. You drive on the ranch thru the cows. Can't get more "ranch to table" than this. For the prime cuts you have to get on the list for when they butcher another one. It's cheaper than the Albertsons Market Place, and fresh eggs are $2 less a dozen than I've been getting them. So cool.

He said his dad and brother built the cars, had a machine shop. 400 gal of shine and 250 gas. Truck springs, built engines. He said if they got in trouble, unless there was a road block, they would get away. So cool

Well now, that machine is just starting to reel you in -

Oh, BTW, I got the picture of that old shine runner -

The loss didn't hurt so bad since I'm still up like $1500 for the week.

Didn't you go to grade school with Oakey?

Plus in Idaho, you have the bears, mountain lions and rabid badgers breaking into ground level bedrooms -

Yes, maybe they just keep the healthy cows in the front lots, but did you go around back and check out the cows in the back lot? -

That's a big exaggeration. I haven't seen a badger in the yard since August.

Well, once they set the hook, them good ol boys reel you in slowly, jest to watch you squirm, that's how they get their kicks in Idaho -

Oakey was a couple of grades below me, me and my cousins in West Virginia, had already gone to bulk tanks -

Well, they lay low in the winter, while the rabies festers, then they come out in the spring -

Have you had your shots?

true. code only says that those area's must be gfci protected. it doesn't define where the gfci must be(a real **** could put them on a pole out in the middle of the backyard). a gfci breaker is fine, but is the most inconvenient for the homeowners to reset-- also most likely for an annoying callback...

you're also on Candian Electrical Code, which is entirely different, as there's a section on guarding outlets from polar bears.

*don't look this up. just trust me.
