There's got to be a scientific link between being in construction and familial tool collection. My SIL is just the same.
Even down to his great-grandfather's 1940s Chevy pick up in his backyard, awaiting the time and $ to be rebuilt.
You sound like my son-in-law, who owns a left-handed bandsaw with turn signals.
I've masked while walking outside in very cold weather because the breath-warmed mask also makes the inhaled air warmer and less jarring.
I was also recently called a "pinko liberal" in the oncology parking lot on a 20⁰ afternoon.
Assholes.
After a phone session with the pharmacist about deets on the upcoming chemo drug, I just sat on the sofa for an hour.
Then I played with my lunch (and dinner for the day).
Lebanon bologna fried rice with egg roll.
Yeah, it works.
At that same pump yesterday, it was $3.39/gallon.
Whoops.
Had a lengthy phone call with the Cancer Center pharmacist about the potential side effects of a chemo med that will be accompanying my radiation therapy for the next five weeks.
Having experienced so many already, I just started laughing.
This is gonna suck.

Before the '24 election, I re-read Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience" and found it inadequate to the myriad ways that the Federal government is involved with our lives. But...yeah, it was at heart a tax revolt.
Would taxation be a resistance point?
Yep.

Not to forget those surplus blocks of government cheese.
Discount Velveeta.
Second grade granddaughter wanted an unplanned sleepover last night, so we obliged.
Turned out that she wanted a break from her little sister and spent the evening and morning reading. I gave her my Kindle with the Libby app and turned her loose in the Philly library kids section.
He'll have a charger at his house, which is hooked up to the solar.
Since only to be used for work (and 300 mile range), he'll hook it up when he gets home and be good until next use.
And youngest son has a hybrid Maverick pick up.
Son-in-law just bought an F150 "Lightning" EV for his business.
Daughter has a hybrid, and they put solar on their house years ago.
Yeah...
I opt to have blood drawn apart from the port.
But 45 minutes is waaaay too long.
Actually, they're whoopie pies.
Unless you get them at our local grocery store, which advertised their homemade "whoppie
I would watch Eucker AI call a game.
Hell, Eucker said some outlandish stuff. That AI just fills in with what it thinks might be coming is the cherry on top of the cake.
Just swung by BJ's to gas up and the price was $2.699/gallon but man was that gas station packed for a Monday morning at 930.
My father was an early Information Systems Data guy, learning his coding with the IBM Univac 2. He retired 36 years later.
As a kid, he channeled me into the Liberal Arts. "Hell, I can teach anybody to code. I can't teach them to think, write, or speak in public."
Yep.
I usually opt for stupid instead of evil in these scenarios. But in this case with this bunch, it's likely both.
I have the Kindle app on my phone.
Yep, it's glorious.
Since actor son is cast as Banquo in Tim Crouch's "I, Banquo", my wife and I are revisiting the original Macbeth.
Two versions actually.
This afternoon is Michael Fassbender's 2015 version, followed by Patrick Stewart's 2010 version.
WTF is the ongoing Eagles fascination with QBs out of frigging upper midwest/North Dakota?
Nope, I sat downstairs and watched the body counts from English murder TV shows.
Honestly, I am terrified to ever visit Luxton Deeping in Midsomer, England.
LOL.
Nope.
I just looked at the guy, shook my head, and moved on. Honestly, why bother even responding to a MAGA moron.
Seriously, I didn't even wish cancer on the stupid fuck.

I went to the Cancer Center for an injection last week, and as usual, I put on mask before exiting the car into 25⁰ temps.
As I walked away, I heard a guy shout "pinko liberal" and I turned to find a guy standing next to my car. I was the only other person in the lot. /2
I had to go to the Cancer Center for an injection last week. One of my chemo drugs increases sensitivity to cold, and that can cause severe issues with breathing cold air for some. Consequently, I wear a good, thick mask when outside and the breathing warms the mask so I inhale warmed air. /1
Sablefish is da bomb.
Phenomenal with a miso marinade.
We watch(ed) our granddaughters regularly. The request from our daughter: no routine screen time, and read to them regularly.
It's the unfettered screen availability.
Scrolling to avoid having to finish the pots in the kitchen sink.
But man, did the Better Half do a great job cooking tonight.
Nevermind. I went to the link...
