You can see the bar on the left, a speaker in the middle of the wall, a large toy truck on the floor, and a velcro target toy on the right. Oh and you can see the studs.
I guess you need a more powerful IR camera!!!

And on Canal Street in New Orleans.
Good for him, ready to go.
My duffel bag holding my, 50-years-old, hockey stuff is sitting right here in the closet, ready. But if I opened that bag I might find only dust.

We had one pipe (supplying water to the basement wetbar sink) freeze that hasn't frozen before.
About 12 years ago, I got a call, on Christmas Eve, no less from a neighbor up at the Cheddarshack.
Seems a pipe had frozen (on an outside wall) and burst - flooding the entire 1st floor of the house.
See that can of Raid? It's floating in the garbage can.
Doing extensive damage to the lower (walk-out) level.
Damage totaled about $125K, iirc. -

We've had cold snaps before, but lesson learned that if it's -30 for like two or three days, I should leave the sink on a drip.
Yeah, that was something we learned in Canada. In England the pipes would freeze if it got below freezing for more than an hour. The English live under the delusion that they live in a tropical climate, and design accordingly.
The explains a lot about the cars.

am I the only one here who can't complain about the current weather? Another sunny day of 65. Colder inside my house than out. I'm a miser for burning gas. That's what jackets are for, right Jon?
