Well, accomplished this mission, except I built it from local parts picked up after sitting outside my car at MicroCenter for over an hour waiting for my turn to go inside. They used an online queueing system so rather than waiting in line for an hour outside the store, I sat comfortably in my car listening to an audiobook, then was let in to go over my online parts reservation. if you needed stuff off the shelf you were escorted around the store, with no more than 30 people in the store at a time (it's a big store, old standard size grocery store)

Has the present lockdown slowed the pony express in Idaho?

No.

However, the IRS doesn't have any bank information for us. Why not? Because we never get a refund - they always want MORE money -

Well, this morning was exciting. My 3 ager helped me install a new dimmer switch in "her" bathroom. The old one could shut off by either turning to the left or pushing the dial type wheel. She was helping me because she is the one that broke it, since she wasn't tall enough to reach it, she would jump up and give it a karate type chop till it went on or off. Those plastic things can take just so many hits.

How did she help? Well, since I don't wire things "hot" anymore, she would look at the lights and yell when they went off, as I flipped breakers in the garage.

Anyone wanna guess how long it takes to change out a switch, with a 3 year old helping and asking hundreds of questions?
