I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Quote:Originally posted by 6ixStringJack: Well... I didn't trench anything out yesterday... So I missed both the cool days to do that work. Guess I'll do it in the heat then. I'd like to get the side of the garage down to the point of the driveway where I'm going to make the decision on how I want to carry that runoff down to the curb. It would be impossible for me to explain the situation there without pictures, but there's a low point on the driveway close to the overhead door on that side that pools up water when it's raining really hard. I'm hoping to be able to alleviate that in some way on that side without having to dig to put corrugated pipe underground. The plan is to promote water leaving that area instead of staying put until the sun dries it. I think after I do what I'm doing it could possibly end up putting more water in that spot during the rain storm, but once the rain stops and things are moving around my hope is that it allows the water to drain away from there quickly instead of just sitting there for a day after a rainstorm. I haven't noticed any further shifting of my garage slab after I used Watertite on the cracks in the floor and outside on the slabs about 4 years ago, but I want to keep it that way. Unlike the other side of the driveway/garage that meets up with the Bermuda Triangle where I intend to do a lot of drainage work, I'm hoping this is not necessary at all on the other side. If it weren't for that low spot in the driveway it wouldn't be for sure. The only water I'm trying to bring away on this side is the stuff that doesn't get caught by the gutters on one side of the garage and everything that falls on the driveway about 6 feet in front of the garage before it breaks down to the street. I don't imagine it's going to need too much persuasion like that mess on the other side is going to. High is only 85 today, so not too bad. It's really cloudy out now too, so that would be nice if it stays that way until I'm finished. Haven't been outside yet, but I imagine it is probably really humid just from how everything looks out there. Stay hydrated. -------------------------------------------------- Trump will be fine.

Quote:Originally posted by 6ixStringJack: I guess if I had a Dr., Christopher Eccelston would be mine. That was my first exposure to Dr. Who. I'm pretty sure I didn't even realize it was an old British show until many years later. They'd play it on Sci-Fi and I'd caught a few episodes, but I was like 20 years old and never watched anything weekly. So I could get the "freak of the week" stuff going on but I didn't really have any idea what's going on. It's funny that even though I haven't watched a single episode since Christopher, I know way more about Dr. Who now because of the internet. I just liked the dude in 28 Days Later. Thought it was cool to see him in a way different role. Never seen him in anything else after those. I'm sure he had a decent career in the UK though. -------------------------------------------------- Trump will be fine. He will also be your next President.

Quote:Originally posted by Brenda: I liked Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor. Thought he fit the role really well. That sounds like how I found the Doctor. Was looking for something to watch around midnight on a Saturday night and stumbled across this show. Wondering what it was I watched and thought it's okay. So, I started watching it regularly and told my friend about and she said that her dad had been watching it for years. Then the station moved it to Saturday afternoon and we would still watch it. Never seen 28 Days though I have heard of it but then I'm not much into horror. Think someone told me he was in Heroes. I could be wrong. Would have to look up the cast for that show. I'm sure he has had a good career at home.

I'm sure he has had a good career at home. Yeah. That sounds about how I found out about it too. I just thought it was some oddball low-budget Sci-Fi TV show. I remember those evil sentient robot things that were famous from the show and just how laughably cheap everything looked. But I did like the doctor and the companion and their chemistry. I think I might have caught 5 episodes of that season and never thought about it again until 10 or so years when I found out about how big of a thing it's been for decades in the UK. I don't generally watch the horror genre as a rule unless I get my younger brother to force me into watching something. 28 Days Later is a lot more than that though. Technically, it's not even a "Zombie" movie since these all are human beings who get infected with a lab created virus that got loose. If you watched the first episode of The Walking Dead, they got a lot of inspiration from 28 Days Later. If you like Cillian Murphy and anything he's been in over the years, that's where he got his start. I would highly recommend 28 Days Later if you've got nothing else to watch. I think you'll really like it. If you do, I'd also recommend giving the sequel 28 Weeks Later a watch too. It wasn't as good, and it didn't focus on anybody from the first movie, but it was still a pretty good flick and an update to that story. I hear they're going to make a 28 years later. Wouldn't mind seeing that one too if they do. Personally, my favorite role Chris Eccleston has ever been in was playing himself last year telling his fans what it would take for him to come back to Dr. Who in 2024. -------------------------------------------------- Trump will be fine.

Quote:Originally posted by Brenda: Yeah, I watched pretty well the whole 1st season with Tom Baker and from then on. I was hooked. I found out later how big a deal it was in the UK too after I started watching it. I'll have a think about it as I think my library still has a copy of it. I got to there tomorrow as I have something to return. I am rewatching "Bon Cop, Bad Cop" again. That clip you included looks and sounds like the clip my friend and her room mate found on YouTube.

I don't know who Tom Baker is. I know the guy who played Killgrave in Jessica Jones was the Doctor for a while there, but I forget what his name is at the moment. I think they may have tried bringing him back to renew some interest in the show after they basically killed it over the last few years. Have you seen anything Dr. Who that was made in the last 5 years? That clip was a good one. It seems some of the people who have been involved in all the bad changes they've made to the show recently were attached to the show all those years ago, but they didn't have the creative control they've got today. Chris Eccleston didn't seem to like them back then either. -------------------------------------------------- Trump will be fine. He will also be your next President.

Quote:But in the family came out and helped me clean up ... a lot more than I had anticipated! In addition to pulling down the passionfruit vines, hubby cut down a couple of small wild cherry trees that never grew right, and cut up the trunks. All that is left for me is to finish clipping up the small branches so I can bin up the waste.
Quote:Also I finally got my rat traps, so I'm going to put out two or three. See whether those work. If not, it's poison bait in bait stations.
