    I'm familiar to this very much DoubleEgger from a few close family members. My wife is currently back in the Hospital again right now as well for depression and associated illness, lost track of how many times now she has had to go back and stay in the hospitals over the last few years. She has been separated from me and the girls again since mid December this time.

    Wishing I was still in bed. Late night seeing Karl Denson's Tiny Universe with Marcus King. Great show!

    Wondering why WebEx hasn't devised an algorithm to deal with echo and/or on-hold music yet....  Hosting a conference call with 40+ people and some jackass inevitable switches to another call and floods the Webex with his Porno Muzak.

    Listening to the host fumble around trying to mute a conference call with a kid screaming, dog barking, or someone taking a personal call is a joy of the corporate world that I miss. The best is when some schmuck logs in via video accidentally and gets caught loafing around, day drinking, picking their nose etc. I’m a huge fan of a piece of tape over the camera.

    I finally did... it's a guessing game since multiple participants show as speaking from background noise or heavy breathing into a headset.  The echo is the harder one to pinpoint and most infuriating.  If everyone everyone everyone could take your self self self off speaker phone or mute mute mute yourselves that would be great great great...

    looking at electric power drills,  need something low torque and high amps to run an 8 inch ice drill bit.  Ridgid Octane Hammer drill seems about right.  friggin expensive if i want the high amp batteries, when did they start selling batteries on the side and not with the drill.  better options?  i need to replace an 8 x 28 foot deck this year so a good drill will be a must anyway, my ryobi wont cut it

    It’s amazing that people don’t know to do that.

    Real lumberjack type men use the hand auger. ;)=)

    I would opt for a 1500 watt inverter so I could use a DeWalt D-handle drill.  Like a DW130V.  Those things will tear your arm off.  I use mine mostly to mix mortar, thin-set, concrete, etc.   Or really large hole saws.  Since I got the Milwaukee right angle drill, which is another good option, I use that for the hole saws.

    it is a hand auger now, it will cut two 8 inch holes in 14 inch ice in under a minute by hand, but 28 inches of ice is another story and 4 feet is out of the question.  dewalt, milwaukee, and rigid seem to be the three that everyone uses on the ice.  i have a gas fired wood drill i use when the ice gets thick  but the carb needs a rebuild constantly
