I thought you built your own LED lights. :P

That gavita unit looks like a good design; probably running 3 watt LEDs.

It's more efficient than my black dog, which runs 5 watt LEDs requiring a massive heatsync and FOUR internal fans. :roll:

Just getting into the LED game.
Got 5 hlg 600r’s for my daughters build. And just installed 4-300 b’s in my veg room.

the jury is still out! Fingers crossed because our power bills are fucking crazy here.

I need to go grocery shopping today, depends on if the rain showers show up or not. I can put it off another day if needed.

That's the next chore on my list and I have been putting it off for days now...I'm out of many essentials, like OJ and bacon....the world could end w/o bacon!!

Glad to be done with snow removal and it's supposed to be 2 degrees above freezing tomorrow, for the first time in like 10 days! Then up to 36F on Friday...break out the flip-flops :hump: , lol...

But 1st, I absolutely need a shower and a shave!!

Probably just a winter cold, but it keeps hanging on.
My ears are ringing like MF which is a new twist -- especially since the sinus congestion has cleared up.

To test my sense of smell, I stick my finger up my butt then sniff it.

Of course there are other methods, but this is my fav :P

In another few days if this is still hanging on I'd get another Covid test.

Not against you LG but I don't think that's funny at all......seriously, people do die that way. Being buried alive is a scary situation. And if you haven't experienced it....it's something you never ever want to go through. 3-4 years ago a mother and I believe her daughter went missing on a ski day...not here but, they found the bodies next to the house. I have a bad spot I can get hit from 2 stories up. It will kill you.


Oh and @Grandpapy remount those gutters on hanging chains......take em down in the winter ;)

It was a public service message, they forgot the "Don't do this" caption.

I called out a scammer on the phone. Fairly sophisticated scam.

got a call from the power company, said we’ve been past due for a few months, and they’ve sent us several notices. Of course, we ALWAYS pay our bill, so this was the first obvious red flag. I tell him we always pay, and he said it’s likely a glitch in the system, but since he doesn’t work in billing, he can’t help me...

they gave me a phone number to call, so I called it, and they had actually recorded the real power companies answering message, so it sounded legit. I pressed the number on the phone for the billing department, and someone picked up right away...

yeah, okay. This totally isn’t plausible. Lol. I wasn’t put on hold, and when I gave the girl the extension for the supervisor, the supervisor picked up the phone right away too. Lol. Yeah, that was what sealed their fate...

so the supervisor says that it’s an automated system, and he can’t prevent our power from being turned off unless the balance was brought to current. And proceeded to tell me that when the glitch was worked out, I would receive a full refund AND 30% OFF MY NEXT THREE BILLS...lmao

yeah. Okay. Cause the power company just offers ridiculous discounts for you to pay your bill...haha

anyway, called the dude out, and got hung-up on. Called back, andthey answered “Taco Bell”

so I told the dude I had a fat burrito for him to suck on...

I don't usually fucking care and hang up. But I love to mess with the ones from microsoft. Ever hear a heavy accented middle eastern indian say "bullshit" to you on the phone? Haha priceless!

Setting my phone to silent ring and distinctive ring tones has cut out all nuisance calls.

If it is important they can leave a voicemail.
99% of unknown calls do not leave a message so must not have been important to start with.
