Well I do have a cooler that I put a 15 watt plant heating pad in, controlled by a thermometer and I can maintain up to 30 degrees above ambient inside it. It works better if there's high mass objects in it to serve as a flywheel for thermal energy.

But I'm not sure if it's safe to put flammable liquids in it.

The thermostat is electronic and it's outside the cooler with just a probe inside. So no worry about sparks from that. But I don't know if the Chinese heating pad would make a spark when the tiny heating element wires inside it eventually short out.

Ya, and I think you are over your limit for fires.

They all look like Spirograph designs. I wonder if Spirograph is still made and sold? It was a cool 'toy'. I need to look it up.

EDIT: Yes, all kinds of them on Amazon. Even die cast sets.
I had to close out of that quick, otherwise I'd spend a small fortune on Cyber Monday sales.

My sister had a spirograph when we were kids. I thought it was cool. Not so much the paper we were wasting, but how the thing actually worked.

My sister and I each had our own sets. We'd compete to see who could come up with the best designs.

He's right. There is a direct correlation of the decline of spirograph and the rise in gang activity.
I can't prove it, but I see more gang shootings and almost no spirograph "art".

And here I was about to blame it on the decline of tie dye and Metallica T-shirts.

I never had one. I never asked for one because I knew I would get bored of it quick. My friend had one. He got bored of it pretty quick.

ADD, huh?

No, I have ADHD. Kind of the same thing.

Every day when he gets home from work, maybe he runs around all over the apartment like when a cat gets the zoomies.

Speaking of cats...

My dog always chases Sarah's cat whenever he sees it.

But not this feral tuxedo cat that's been hanging around lately.

The dog just watches it from a distance with his ears up. He will chase any other animal around here. Just not that feral cat.

Methinks I know how his nose ended up bleeding last week.

They usually learn the first time around.

we currently have two rescues a male and a female, pretty smart except when it comes to skunks and they forget how bad it can be and get nailed every spring

I was hyper when I was a kid when I was diagnosed. I must have burned off all that energy because now I am lazy.

This little guy got stuck trying to get into the trash can in the shop.



I got it out & turned it loose in the field.
