Well considering our dear governor has limited event indoor facilities to 25 people an indoor wedding would be out of the question. Outdoors is 250.

This is my idiot nephew and I wasn't going to go no matter what was going on in the world. The moms don't/can't drive on the highway and he insists on having it nowhere near them or even having something small near them. This is the one who left baby mamma #1 when the kid turned one and has never given her a dime. She lived close enough I had to run her a few items when she got sick and couldn't work for a couple of weeks so any gift he may have gotten has already been spent. @Tony the Tigger most of us have some messed up family members

Hubs did a major clean-out of the basement over the past few months, and it looks so much better. I was glad to see him chuck out large bags of various past projects, old computer parts, etc., on weekly trash pick-up days.

Now, he's hauling in all kinds of stuff, and bringing it to the basement. 🤦‍♀️ (I reminded him of how good it was that he got rid of a pile of things recently, and now has more space to move around down there.) He agreed that the extra space was great, so now he can put a new pile of other neat stuff, in his open space! :hilarious: Man just loves his workbench area, and as he's said many times in the past, "You can never have enough different tools!"

Don't you live in Wisconsin? No way would I want your winters. I'll take the heat in the summer.

Yep, I am from Wisconsin.

I think you would accuse of some of the residents in Wisconsin being nuts for doing a January 1st tradition of a polar bear plunge not matter how cold the weather gets. The City I live has a beach and some people on January first jump into the lake even if it is 5 degrees outside.

The weather in Wisconsin in my area is capable for being warmer than other parts of the state for Winter. For the 2019/2020 winter, the city I live in only had 1 night below zero. It was 5 degrees below zero, but that is warm compare to other areas in my state.

The winter weather in Wisconsin does cause stuff like this to happen:

If it got below zero here, we'd be in a panic. If it gets into single digits, we lose our minds. If it snows more than two inches, we lose our minds. We cannot drive in any type of winter weather. Really, our preferred weather is 75 degrees and sunny here in Maryland. We'll get down into the 20s and 30s, but anything below that is insanity.

That would be a definite deal breaker for me as well. (Afternoon heat and humidity makes me ill down there, and I have to get out of it into a/c for a few hours at my hotel, when I'm at WDW. I then return late day to the parks.)

Are you saying that the bus service is spotty from the parks? Or, are you saying it's difficult to try and re-enter any of the parks, if you were to come back later in the day? I know the parks have some sort of attendance reservation thing going on. So I'm wondering if one person leaves, they immediately let someone else enter (in your place, so to speak? (Meaning that you might miss your spot to re-enter, if you were to leave in the afternoon?)

The problem right now is WDW is having guests booking their theme park days by what theme park they want to go to. Disney right now is limited in how many guests are allowed in at a time at their parks. Basically when you leave, another person would be allowed in the park.

There was a time when I had built work benches everywhere. I had one in the basement, one in the garage and one in the outside utility shed. I must have had thousands of dollars worth of mechanical tools (reg & metric), carpentry and plumbing tools. Specialty tools that I no longer needed because technology made them useless. I now have a small tool box with the standards, (hammer, variety of screw drivers, putty knives, golf club grip changing tools, and a few oddities like bolt cutters. Not sure what I am going to use the bolt cutters for, but one never knows. I also have a small three sized ratchet set with assorted sockets (r&m). I didn't downsize much when I moved out of the house after the divorce because I had a little storage but I did give away the work benches and storage shelves to my kids at the time.

When I moved from there down to hear I downsized a lot. Everything that I didn't need anymore. Gas grill, lawn mowers and lawn trimmers, a really nice snow blower that I was more then happy to unload, A huge tool box, top and bottom sections with a lot of electric tools and hand tools and brought just one medium sized top cabinet with box and open end wrenches plus odds and ends. Right up to tools that you could use on large earth-moving equipment. I already told you what I have now and the big tool box (w/tools) and the handiest piece of equipment known to man a Black & Decker Workmate Table I also gave to my son in law. He lives within about 4 miles from my current residence so I made a deal that if I needed some of the stuff I could get to it. Can't think of any reason why I would need them anymore, but some things are just hard to give up.

I am guilty of having a ridiculous amount of tools, some I have never used, and others bought and used once. The duplicates drive my wife crazy. Here is an example, I have five leaf blowers, two of them powerful gas backpack blowers, one handheld gas blower and two battery powered blowers.
I had a handheld, got a backpack, then later a more powerful backpack, same with the battery unit, first one seemed kinda week, got a more powerful one.
My wife asked me awhile back why I have five and my answer just caused her to shake her head and walk away.
"Because I have not gotten around to buying the sixth one just yet."

You should have a garage sale. One nearby house had a garage sale and a lot of people came throughout the day. Probably many working from home and or unemployed.
