I must be weird :-) For the last 30 minutes, had this tune stuck in my head :-)

LOL:)
Having tunes stuck in my head happens very often.
Worst thing is when I have a tune in my head that I even don't like when trying to sleep...
Your song however I think I can sleep to.

Primm NV(used to be called Primm and Proper NV), people work there, but not one house or apartment is nearby this NV/CA border town, I think people commute from Las Vegas NV.


Not sure where you get your information but the town was named after the original developer of the town, Ernest Jay Primm. Before that it was named Stateline. It's never been named Primm and Proper. As for houses and apartments, in 2002 52 apartment buildings were constructed in Primm to serve as housing for employees at the three casinos. The Official population is around 450-500. And there are houses out there. I worked on a solar project out there for about 6 months. There was one house, next to the airport, in particular that a lot of my guys would visit every night. Remind me what a red light on the porch stands for?

Are you sure this is the same place Carlos?

It wasn't that way a few years ago when My nephew and I went thru there in a Semi Truck on the i15 fwy, He was driving, I was just along for the ride, and He had His bosses permission too. As there is a Stateline up near Reno NV too, or at least there was.

I'm sure it is. Three casinos in Primm. But don't confuse it with Jean where the prison is located. When California started their Lotto one gentleman built his building a few feet on the California side of the border and got huge crowds from Las Vegas buying tickets, which killed the outlet in Baker.

And yes there is a Stateline at Lake Tahoe.

Ohio woman calls 911 saying, 'I have a boa constrictor stuck to my face'

An Ohio woman called 911 Thursday after a 5-foot-6-inch boa constrictor she had rescued wrapped itself around her face and began biting her nose.

The victim, a 45-year-old woman of Sheffield Lake, which is about 10 miles west of Cleveland, called authorities after one of the two boa constrictors she rescued the previous day had attacked her. The recording of her 911 call was released.

“I have a boa constrictor stuck to my face,” the woman yelled.

“Ma’am you have what?” the 911 dispatcher asked.

“Boa constrictor,” the woman repeated. “Please hurry. He’s biting my nose.”

Unfortunately, rescue workers had to kill the snake to remove it.

It's that time of year again to guess what "deep fried" food will be the big hit at the State Fair of Texas!

What’s a Fat Smooth? Hint: It’s at the State Fair of Texas, and it’s fried

Deep Fried Fruit Loops? Fried Texas Dirt? Fat Smooth? Must be time to think about the State Fair of Texas.

The fair released its annual list of semifinalists Friday for the Big Tex Choice Awards, and as usual, there’s plenty to shake your head over — or salivate over, depending on your tastes. The contest started in mid-July with 47 entrants, according to a release from fair officials.

Judges will continue whittling down entrants till they come up with the 10 finalists that will compete at this year’s awards, which are open to the public and will take place at 2 p.m. Aug. 27 in the Tower Building at Fair Park.


EDIT -- for the inquisitive minds that want to know what "The Fat Smooth" is...
“The Fat Smooth” name doesn’t quite capture the lip-licking lusciousness that’s fried into this concoction: three delicious Belgian mini cream puffs on a skewer, dipped in Cafe du Monde beignet batter, then fried and dusted in powdered sugar and drizzled with chocolate and caramel sauce.

Today after more than a year i have been informed that all the pictures my wife took during our coast to coast road trip last year are destroyed.
I put the SD card in my cell phone last year to copy them but suddenly the card started smoking.
So i tried a data recovery company and payed $750 to recover them.

Sorry to hear that Mike. I lost a set from a trip once too. So I set up some automatic protections.
When I plug my camera into my PC it automatically downloads to DropBox. When I get close to my macbook, it automatically uploads to my Apple cloud account.
Those work regardless of any action I take. Manually, I download, sort, and store on my hard drive which is backed up daily. I am at about 125 GB of photos.

The manual says 1-2 hours, since I did not know I had to keep this Stanley Jump-Start System plugged in when not being used to jump start a car, It may take longer to charge, if the battery within will do so at all, all I can do is wait and see. And yes I had read what little came with this after I'd brought this home from Walmart, years ago...

As the battery within the Stanley is not charged yet.

If you haven't kept it plugged in Vic it's probably john-o-grooted.

Ok, can you run that by Me again, I think I know what you mean, but bing can't.

So you think the Stanley's battery needs to be replaced too?

Great, sigh...

I don't know when I can do that...

And the battery has been charging for 3 hours...

Remove the g from grooted for a more precise meaning Vic, it is rhyming slang.

= dead.

Texas Calf Has Black, White Face Like KISS Rocker Gene Simmons

KERRVILLE TX – A newborn calf in Texas has strikingly similar black-and-white facial markings to KISS frontman Gene Simmons and the rock star likes their shared look.

... Heather Taccetta, who lives at the ranch with her family, says the calf belongs to her grandmother and the animal is named for Simmons.

Xena, In Sickness and in Hell. Gabrielle has foot rot (now spread over most of her body) and Xena has lice. Whenever she scratches the lice, tiny little voices scream and shout. At one point, she picks one and flicks it into the fireplace, and a voice yells "She killed Kenny! You bitch!"

[edit]
No Leapin' Lice were beaten, whipped, smashed or
scratched during the production of this motion picture.

1. You are right that black stuff is a sealant. Your photo does not show any mold.
2. I don't see a leak from where the water exits the disposal. That is the stiff black lower pipe. It appears that you have a leak from the seal between the disposal and the sink. There is a rubber gasket that needs to be tightened. I have never had to replace that gasket. To tighten there is a lower ring with 3 loops. There is a tool that came with the disposal that serves two purposes. One to free the disposal if it gets stuck on something. The other to tighten and loosen the lower ring.
The tool looks like this:

Here it is in use:

Based on your pictures doing exactly what is shown in the picture above should fix your leak.

Oh if you don't have that tool, a screw driver, allen wrench or just about anything else that will fit in that hole will work.
