I'm curious. Explain this 1 flip 2 flip of the switch? Is this a complete can light or just the bulb? I like that mood light feature
This is the complete LED / can swap out from the standard flood light bulb / can. The LED actually screws into the existing bulb socket in the ceiling and that's what powers the LED. When you flip the switch one, the mood lighting turns on, if you flip the switch down then immediately back up, the mood light turns off and the main LED turns on. There is also several light intensities to choose from. Really a nice option for roughly $25 each. Complete can removal and new install was less than 5 minutes each, and I am no electrician. No additional wiring or special switches needed. Below is a link for HomeDepot.

Love the picture on the back wall. Portland head light? If so that's the place my wife and I got married. And we have the same one up in the house.

Its either the light behind you guys, or looks very similar to the one in Bar Harbor Maine that we passed coming back from Nova Scotia a few years back.

View from 35’ up! The only downside is the house we are building for a customer isn’t lakefront property. Could’ve parked the boat for the whole summer! We are about 2 miles away on a bluff overlooking lake Pepin. They will cut more trees out eventually. 1AAFCC00-3398-4E8B-9213-3827CF2751FB.jpeg2773E1B5-77EC-4FC2-9BD0-A220315360FF.jpegEDDC3CBC-C5C7-460B-9277-FF4F2DF8711A.jpeg

Yep, Portland Headlight, Cape Elizabeth, Maine. We love it there, we got married right there in front of the lighthouse

I was fortunate enough several years ago to land a contract working in Wolfsville Nova Scotia at Acadia University for a couple weeks. We flew from Cleveland to Philly, then landed at Bangor AFB and drove through New Brunswick and halfway down Nova Scotia in one day. Then we decided to take The Cat ferry from Yarmouth N.S to Bar Harbor. I suggest everyone needs to see Bar Harbor at some point in their life.

I used to wonder where all the guys with boats in the water or dry stack at my local marina kept their trailers? Not anymore. See the attached pics. This is literally a mile of trailers parked side by side on the other side of the levee from the main slough to fast water here in discovery bay, ca.

Made it to Hartwell. Our first ever trailer trip. A bit stressful as the roads got narrower and narrower.

Once my kids are old enough to understand and enjoy the sites and scenery, I want to take them! I want to go back to the Bay of Fundy and show them the tide change. When I was there is was a 40’ swing daily.

How our twosome became a threesome!

So played golf today with my son. On the 12th hole coming off the green we see a little king or coral snake slithering near the cart. While we are discussing whether it’s a king or coral - black on yellow red on black.. which one is venomous.. the little guy wraps up under the rear left tire, my son then says it went into the rim! Nah - couldn’t be! Sure enough he was nowhere to be seen. He had to be up in the rim or brakes somehow. Tried to bang tires and move the cart. Nothing, he wasn’t moving. Well we decided to keep playing but every time we stopped we were super cautious around the bags and getting in and out of the cart.
Finally, 16th par three the snake decides to come out - I snapped these pictures to figure out if it was king or coral snake.

Red and yellow kill a fellow. That’s a coral snake

I have scooped several of those out of my pool. Somehow they get under the screen door, fall in and can’t get out. The babies end up in the pool strainer. We keep this behind the tv outside.

I had my sand wedge out, but the snake got up in the wheel so quick - we had no chance to get him. Thought driving the cart might take him out.. I think he just got 😵💫 dizzy
