Good morning!!!!

[pennwalk]

Jim, I see what you are getting at. I'm sorry that I am not a better writer. I was talking about having to worry about liability when working off our property. And about how quick people can be to turn to lawyers to solve their problems.

Don....Your electric fence shock reminded me of a friend of mine....Sr. yr. of high school..Dale, my friend and I took all our camping and fishing gear and drove an hour to a lake to rent a row boat , row to a campsite along the bank and then spend the night and next day fishing....We set up our tent and everything else and I was getting my fishing pole set up....All of a sudden I heard the most blood curdling scream and then a lot of expletive deletes...and here came Dale bent over and moaning....He said he peed in the woods and something stung him...I went to look and found the electric fence sign hidden under some vines...He had peed directly on the electric fence...He had to go home...so he sat down while I broke camp , loaded the boat and rowed back to turn the boat in....just 2 hrs after we had arrived.....I don't remember if it turned out serious or not...I dropped him off at home and I'm sure he told me but it has been 50 yrs...long time...

I found Dale

Talk about not pretty, I peed on one once. Not pretty!

LOL Now let's ask Dale aka. toppop52 what it felt like and if his kids glow in the dark....:laughing:

It felt like somebody hammering Willy with a 9 lb sledge, repeatedly!:shocked:

How does that old saying go: "There are three kinds of men, the one who learns by reading, the few who learn by observation, and the rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves..." (Attributed to Will Rogers)

Old Will got it right, because I knew it was there, but it was dark! People think it's like a typical AC shock, not at all, no sensation of electrical shock. It feels like you laid him on a brick and hit him 60 times a second with a maul!

Isn't it amazing how such a supposedly simply repair requires so long to complete? My ex had a '93 Cutlass with the 3.4 liter V6 and the alternator failed. An "easy" fix? No. Remove the exhaust system at the intake manifold, part of the front suspension, and raise the motor slightly to remove the rear cradle, among other things, before you can remove the alternator. Brilliant engineering. I think most of todays cars are purposely designed and built so you will just give up and take it to the dealership so they can screw you over at $100 an hour.

I looked at your pictures yesterday and could just 'hear' the ice popping/cracking in the trees and falling to the ground. Those ice storms are really pretty until the power goes out and you have to drive in black ice on the roads.
