COLD DARK ROOM

[jaizei]

Howdy everyone! I ran the weedeater this a.m. until my battery ran out of juice. Tried to put it on the charger but couldn't get the charger's light to show 'green.' It kept blinking red. That means the battery isn't put in correctly. Dang! I tried and tried and couldn't get it to work. So I'm out of commission with the weedeater.

Batteries do that sometimes if you try charging them when they're hot, like right after using. Might need to just cool down.

And I’m sorry if I’m sticking my nose in here where I’m unneeded , but please, stay away from a “RES”. Those buggers have been released all over by folks that oftentimes have just become bored of the turtle. These turtles adapt very quickly and displace many native turtles worldwide.

Yeah I'm not. I'm just saying that's all they have.

There are painteds in a creak near me but I won't remove them from the wild. Not to mention that is illegal lol.

Well I told the hubby about my "product idea" and he gives me this surprised look and tells me that it sounds great. He always seems shocked when I have good ideas[emoji57]
Anyways. He said there is a guy at his work that has a couple of patents and is going to get some advice from him.
You can search existing patents for free on the website @JoesMum gave me, so I have to see if someone beat me to it.
If there is not a patent on it, then it's on to the prototype.
I am quite intimidated by the whole process. A patent lawyer would make things easier but they are so expensive, I don't want to waste my money until I know if this can be done.

Yes, bit of a problem in some areas, i understand.
Good afternoon, Ken!

I have two. Lol

Each to their own.
I think Ed's got some, John's got several, just not my 'thing'.

It's not for everyone but my sister is a tattoo artist so I guess to me it's natural.

Sounds exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time.
Check to see if someone's beaten you to it and take it from there.
Good luck.

I'm going to say it. You are the CDR Mom and know everything.!!

Google knows everything. In the UK we have a patent office, so I just googled the US equivalent

 

[JoesMum]

Okay. Yayyyyy all caught up again. But eyes are closing. So good night. Sleep tight and mind the torts and turts don't bite. [emoji8] [emoji8] [emoji8]

Sleep well Carol

Thinking about getting a new tattoo.

Can't see the attraction personally. Not my thing at all

Good afternoon, Ken!

A problem on every continent that this here water planet contains. I’m not sure about Australia, but I would be devastated to learn of Australian RES problems.

Now, Good evening Adam,
How have things been for you lately like?

 

[Bambam1989]

Off I go to pick some weeds.
Yummy yummy tort food!

Good afternoon, Sabine, hope the day goes well and quickly for you.

Hello Adam. "Freddy! is only another word for thread.
Wait until tomorrow evening with the last posts ....

I haven't a clue. Had an idea pop in my head this morning, I'd have to harass my husband into making a prototype...

Not sure if anyone replied.... but here is the US Patent Office in DC with a lot of info. https://www.uspto.gov/

Ah, thank you for the suggestion. I'll go try it now.

Very good, thanks, Most Awesome Cowboy Ken.
wifey's had her birthday, Tidgy's been the TFO calendar girl for February and I've been happily cataloging my fossils and receiving new ones from all around the globe.
What about you, my friend?

When it stops raining!
