What a wonderful day. A beer in my hand and baseball on TV. More then just a spring training game....Ohtani's first USA game. First pitch in 2 minutes.
I was more stuck on the 99 banana imagery... as I was unaware that it was some sort of liquor... I just assumed she was trying to be an over-achiever again.
How was y'all's day? I went to the ER after I cut the end of my finger off with a potato peeler and couldn't stop the bleeding! But at least I ended up making a really good broccoli cheese soup.
My day was great! Got the shop all plumbed with the new huge cyclone, along with the smaller shop-vac cyclone, and started making some drawers for my bench. Making 4 big drawers on 200 lbs sliders for tools, fastenings, etc, built into my bench. Everything is working out great in the shop now... the new saw, the new dust extraction... way better ventilation and dust control, and just a much better process to go from raw wood to glue-up. The new TV is up (and properly fastened), and the Apple TV's bluetooth audio connects to my 3m Worktunes sound suppressors, so it was a fantastic day fucking around in the shop and watching some Netflix. All in all it was one of the better Saturdays I've had in a long time... and no body part separation or blood was involved.
When I was a kid I had a plantar wart on my big toe and bottom of my foot. Back then they cut them out. I got three shots into the top of my big toe and three more in the bottom of my foot. I still remember how much those shots into the top of the toe hurt.
It seems those groundhogs are lying bitches, because (at least around here) spring simply came six weeks early. The snow is gone. Like, GONE-gone. The two week forecast is above freezing every day. We keep having record-breaking warmth which are mostly breaking records that occurred one year ago because LAST year was the hottest year ever. Also: isn’t it awesome to own a dog and to see what various dug-up dead things and countless three-coiler loafs she left you over the past three months under various snowfalls?
Yeah... today I was outside doing some spring cleaning... it was nice and mild, sunny... the only hint of winter was the 8' tall snow mound in the centre court... it's about half the height that it was, but about 1/4 the volume... still melting. They're calling for some snow later on in the week, but yeah... it seems like winter is over. I noticed today that the outside light timers have to be reset as it's lighter way earlier, darker way later than it was.
I love the cold and the snow. I don't have to deal with any of the shit that people hate about winter weather; no commuting, I drive a truck so don't need to shovel it (unless I want to). I love winter camping, and ice fishing, and other cold-weather activities. So yeah... I'm going to miss it.
To hell with all that. It's mid 50's and rainy here so I'm going to Florida this week. Supposed to be mid-high 80's. Perfect.
Crazy got a visit from the cops yesterday. I guess they told him in no uncertain terms to take down his cameras and quit calling them every time the neighbors sneeze or they're going to seize his hard drives and take him to jail. For good measure they told him if he can't get along with the neighbors to just sell his house and move. He was still sputtering and spitting kittens this morning.
The "leather" on the ear cups on a pair of wireless headphones I have is worn out. I tried to see if I could order replacement ones, which I can't, so I was checking eBay and whatever for generic replacements. This description was in a pair of headphones that came up my search: "Item is lightly used and one ear does not work, otherwise is in excellent condition." Whenever I read descriptions like that for eBay listings, I never know if the person posting that is hilarious or stupid.
