  1. I served on a jury earlier this month and while reading a book The Men In The Boat, while waiting in the jury bullpen another prospective juror asked me how I liked it. He told me that his wife had used it in some research for a book that she had written that is now on the New York Times best seller list. Indianapolis is the book and he told me that his wife and him and another person had spent over six years doing the research. They also interviewed a number of survivors from the Indianapolis. I’ve just started reading it and it’s turned into a real page turner. The Indianapolis was the last battleship sunk by the Japanese in WWII and the book tells quite a story of the fight to survive after the sinking and then the court martial of the ships captain and the fight to clear him that took 50 years.
  2. I took the robot window cleaner up to my granddaughters house and it did not perform well on her new windows. My windows have a 3/8” high lip where the glass is set in the frame and her windows have a tapered frame with about a 16th of an inch lip and the robot had nothing to bump up against and kept jamming against the edge, top and bottom and had to be reset and started again. It did a good job of cleaning but it had to be monitored closely on her windows.
  3. When you get it make sure you install the cleaning socks so that they’re on evenly and then spray with window cleaner to dampen, not to wet. Once you have it on the widow spray on a little more window cleaner on the glass and let it go to work. The connector on the pigtail needs to be seated well with the connector coming out of the battery/powersupply, if not it won’t turn on.
  4. Mrs Lose put stickers on one of the sliding glass doors to stop the birds from flying into it and the robot cleaner cleaned right over them, no problem.
  5. Are the window panes mounted in wooden frames? We have four 6’ high windows 16” wide and it will not work on them. The machine needs to swing a certain distance each way to complete its cycle and these windows were to narrow for that to happen and it would disconnect itself from the window, not a big deal as these 4 windows are easy to get to and clean. I’ve read some of the comments on some of the other cleaners and it sounds like some of them will work on the narrower windows.
  6. Mrs. Lose is fixing dinner and has commented twice now about how the windows have never been this clean. So call me Marriage Counselor Yul here and get one of these things fer the misses it’ll save yer marriage.
  7. It has a remote control but it is self directing also, I haven’t even used the remote control yet. It has a tether for 2nd floor windows to keep it from hitting the ground if you don’t remove it within 20 minutes, I believe it is after it finishes a window.
  8. The directions are really lacking so there is that but once I figured it out it really worked well.
  9. Been off the Wire awhile and now have a little more time and internet ability so thought you pards might like to check this out. Mrs. Lose hates to clean windows so I started looking at what might be available to make it easier for her and a different bikini suggestion was met with stern looks and words for some reason so here’s what I found. I got it going this afternoon and sans the bikini it does a really good job, even she is impressed. I cleaned 2 sliding glass doors, inside and out in about 9 minutes. Uses regular Windex or glass cleaner. I asked her if I could order one of those anatomically correct robot dolls next and she said “Go ahead”. IMG_5343.mov IMG_5346.mov
  10. There was no planning and it’s all a real mess.
  11. Thanks for the concern. Life has really taken a turn lately with caring for my wife’s sister and her husband in a remote area of north San Diego county, both with terminal illnesses and then dealing with the dysfunctional offspring and the 31 year squatters and their families and many offspring. I could write a book that would make J D Vance’s Hillbilly Elogy look like preschool. Thought it would get better with one of them passing but it’s only gotten worse and the potential for violence between the parties is very real and getting worse by the day. So needless to say I don’t have much time for the Saloon, oh and cell phones and internet don’t work up there most of the time.
  12. Good for her. That climb up the tower everyday will keep her in top shape. I did a lot of tower climbing in my two way radio days but few were that high and she does it every day.
  13. As usual, you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. Oy….
  14. This was one of the best Western Regionals I’ve ever attended and the Saturday evening banquet was outstanding. Listening to Sinful (the match director) addressing the closing of the range before the banquet was a tough one and it’s clear that he’s doing everything that he can to stop the range closing or find a new home for the Western Regional. Talking to a few old timers up there I got a sense that closure wasn’t inevitable so let’s all keep our fingers crossed. Went to dinner at The Dutchman 2 nights and enjoyed watching the sea otters and their antics right outside the window and the food was excellent too.The sleeping bag was very welcome during the night because it got a little chilly where we camped at the range. Left the range at 6:30 sharp yesterday morning and pulled into my driveway at 1:10 in the afternoon, hardly any traffic to deal with on the 101 after the 405 split it was clear sailing home to north San Diego county.
  15. Slow smoked prime rib roast.
