Yeah, it's right on their production floor and is used to control how much liquid foam is dispensed. A gate valve would work perfectly (we've even used a ball valve at trials), but they currently have "flow controllers" that our competitor is buying somewhere & supplying them with. I saw that faucet lock too, but I don't think they'd go for it.

Wednesday the same neighbor decided to mow his lawn at the same time. Today the school mowed it’s lawn before school started. What gets me is this is the first time all year that they were smart enough to mow before the kids got in their way.:rolleyes: Three days in a row being woken up by lawn equipment.

Time for you to use your lawn equipment early on a Saturday or Sunday morning. Payback is a b##ch.

He did the 7 AM Sunday mornign lawn mow once when he first moved in years ago. Maybe I should hold an outdoors box party, that will teach them. :D

Besides which, what kind of paranoid dingbat would feel the need to spend money to protect their faucet? Unless you live in a really bad neighborhood, you shouldn't be leaving stuff out anyway...or if you live in an active adult community and you have angered your neighbor.

They liked the idea and are certain it will sell well at HD and Lowes but it wasn't something that they could make an exciting infomercial about.

Speaking of that show, I love how they get under Billy's skin with statements like "Is that a Shamwoo?"

Yeah, that was some sight. She's the epitome of the old George Carlin classic "A Place for my Stuff". She has too many places for her stuff, and doesn't really believe in reviewing her stuff inventory to see if any stuff is stuff that is no longer needed.

I've heard it's a great show, but I just don't remember to watch it. I'll just have to wait for the first season on iTunes or something. I'm going to start downloading instead of buying DVD's.

They did, for the exact reason Olton Hall said.

When my neighbors have done stupid things like mow the lawn at 630 in the morning, I ensure my generator is prepared for hurricane season along the share fence until about 11PM.

Meh, it was pretty cool for the first one or two episodes to see what they do, but it's boring anymore, IMO.

When I did it (5+ years ago) they wanted to take away the status when I changed it. No harm in trying it; the worst that can happen is that you lose the status that you weren't gonig to keep anyways.

Nothing like free money. :D

I'm fighting with .NET programming and losing my web browser session cookies for the second consecutive day now. I'm not a happy camper.

They are open on sundays , unless there is a holiday.

I may have plans on Sunday. That's the day I've gone there in the past.

Not that any of us here need it to that extent, but I think B&H does publish somewhere on the site their full annual closure schedule, and it includes religious and government holidays.

I just had the most competent agent change a complex reward ticket for me that includes KE. I changed every segment in the reservation after having performed my own search using the NW tool, and she was able to change the reservation in less than 10 minutes. I even got an elusive KE TPAC segment.

Nice - glad you got a good agent! Which KE TPAC segment did you pick up?

I have proven that it is even possible to get 2 of the elusive J seats on a KE TPAC segment! :eek:
