RE: [BlindHandyMan] Ye beware the killer mailbox.
Not the same thing. Kids were smashing the mail box with a ball bat, so the guy filled it with concrete. The next time they hit the mail box the concrete filled mail box caused them to lose control of the car and crash and die. The guy filled the mail box with the concrete to intentionally hurt the people who were smashing it. If the power company started putting explosives in their pulls to blow up on impact, they would be liable, they were intending to do harm to those that ran in to it, drunk or not. But the polls are not put there for the purpose of hurting or killing people. All comes down to intent.

Jim Turkey on the Grill Grilled turkey can be a wonderful variation from oven roasted turkey. Grilling a whole turkey or turkey breast requires indirect heat and a drip pan. Start by washing and seasoning a fully thawed bird. The covered kettle-style grill and medium hot coals are recommended for grilling. Arrange hot coals on either side of the drip pan and position the turkey, breast side down, on an oiled V-rack directly over the drip pan. Use a small 8 to 14 pound unstuffed turkey. About midway through the cooking process, turn the bird breast up. Place about 10 briquettes on each pile of hot coals every 45 to 50 minutes to maintain medium heat. For good smoky flavor, dampened wood chips and/or chunks may be added as well. Cover the wing tips with aluminum foil and tuck them underneath the bird to prevent burning. Insert a thermometer in the thickest innermost part of the thigh. A whole turkey is safe when cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 165 °F as measured with a food thermometer. Check the internal temperature in the wing and the thickest part of the breast too. For reasons of personal preference, you may choose to cook the turkey to higher temperatures. If the temperature under the hood is hot enough (325°F to 350°F), grilling a 12 to 14 pound turkey should take approximately 4 hours. If your grill does not have a thermometer, an oven thermometer can be used. Cooking time may vary depending on temperature of the fire, wind and outdoor air temperature.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Ye beware the killer mailbox.
Dear Michael and list members: Power companies have indeed been held liable for injuries to motorists who struck their poles, when the poles were located too close to a highway and when they were made so strong that they would not break when hit by an automobile. Some utilities use only break-away poles when near a highway. I did not get enough facts about the concrete in the mail box, but it seems to me that the owner was wanting to give the offender a sore arm, when hitting a mail box with a bat, but I don't see the connection to the driver loosing control of his vehicle and being killed. Often, the question turns on the question of foreseability, and with the information I currently have about this story, I have a hard time figuring out why the mail box owner would have foreseen such a result. When an actor is merely negligent, in running in to a power pole or a mail box, that is one thing, but when the injured party was involved in a deliberate misdeed, I do not follow the logic in prosecuting the owner I suppose that makes for good television drama?

[BlindHandyMan] homeowners beware
this discussion of the mailbox and someone getting killed takes me back to our first house we owned on a big corner lot. we did not know that three school bus's would be picking up kids there. I was told kids were climbing the tree and one hurt his arm. so I went out one morning and asked them to stay out of the trees we have. one parent came up and told me where I could stick my blank blank trees. so I came back with a stronger one. that day I bought some drive way sealer and tar and covered the first 8 feet of two trees. next morning a parent is banging on my door asking me why and i would get the dry cleaning bill for at least two expensive coats. I represented myself in a local court and the judge told me I was responsible and I asked for a delay to find an attorney and go to elder law, if there is such a thing and when does my property stop being mine. long and short of it was . one parent suggested the town pay for the cleaning bills or replace the jackets. my tax dollars replaced those three jackets and soon the bus stop was moved down one block. my point is from state to state , from county to county. it depends on what we do and local laws what will protect us. I am also told that at the time if I put up No trespassing signs that under the law those under the age of 18 cannot read. so never ever leave your power tools out or a ladder . and think of moving so far back in the hills any project you want to do as a blind handyman or woman is your own and not to be attacked by fast moving cars or kids who's parent would sue in a heartbeat.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] repelling skunks
Speaking of repelling animals, yesterday I got Repels-All. A product from TC Tractor. It covers cats(my problem) dogs, skunks, links, deer, groundhogs, rodents and armadillos plus birds and others. It looks like granulated fertilizer and most effective if applied 6 hours before a light rain. It is good up to 2 months. A 3 pound container was 12 bucks. Put it where you don't want them. As for cats it is placed where they want to scent a territory, my flowerbed. bob [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[BlindHandyMan] Plug in mouse and rat repeller?
I know I saw an electronic device mentioned on the list for keeping rats and mice away. I need to tell my friend the name of this thing and I don't have time today to go through the archives. Would someone tell me again? She has three of the laziest cats on earth. They brought the beast in, let it go, and it died inside the back of the refrigerator. What a mess that was, story for another day. TIA, Betsy Teamwork: Together we achieve the extraordinary.
[BlindHandyMan] my computer power usage
Today I was checking just what kind of power my electronics consume. The items I leave on all the time with one computer online and others including my wireless is about 300 watts an hour. What surprised me was my printer. It was drawing about 10 watts waiting for an order to print so I turned it off. The power being consumed was still 10 watts. Thinking about it a little I realized that this printer can be turned on by the network when a printing is requested by any computer on the network. The cheapest item was my wireless N-extreme link and cable router, which runs 24 watts non-stop being used or not. Accordingly, a wireless laptop is the most economical way to go if saving computing money is a high want factor. bob [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
