Truth is JPG, b4 beings mom care giver after dinner and a few pops, Fox News, to bed be it 9ish in the summer time, dark days, winter time a bit earlier, except on Sunday and Monday Night Football depending on who was playing. Up by 8ish at the latest.
Moms schedule is sleep till around noon, nappy in the recliner in the afternoon, local evening news, dinner, Fox news, Ohriyly, Megan local at 10pm News, and then to bed after her routine in the bath room around 11. Now I am all backed up and wound up, sleep till 9-11 am. I burnt so much day light this summer!!!
I was a bit snarky tonight too, my apologies :o

At 00:12 thee posted.

At 00:13 thee was not logged on but a cloaked member was.

Hence the lurking inference! Perhaps it was 'something' else.

Back posting at 01:16.

Enjoy the sleep in this AM. ;)

Another tip is if you have any type of glue in the tubes and you only need a small amount cap it and then freeze it. At times I use a marine type glue and it was bad about hardening once opened. I was told on a boating form to do this and it works. I don't know if it works on latex caulk but it does on silcone type caulk

It may work on Latex caulk, since it does work on Latex paint brushes and rollers, wrap them up in a baggie, frig for a few days while painting, or freeze if not getting back to it till the SO gets really on you. I have done it many a time.
