More than once and it's no longer experimenting, though...

Several times: neat tequila, marzipan and butter beans (not all together ...)

 

[MuffandNonsense]

Oh, gosh! Me, too! I took the trash out three times tonight! Trash & recycle day is tomorrow; I was so proud of myself for getting the bins out early. Then remembered I forgot to take stuff down. Did that. Came back up. Saw more that needed to go out!

Try that with a multiple helping of ADHD as well!

At my age, I know there is no cure!

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Excellent! We can even describe the smells!

Only if we're all eating a meal together. Otherwise, it would be such a waste.

My mom would special order her vehicles with a manual transmission. I think the only automatic she had was her Prius. She really wanted one and bitched mightily that she couldn't get it in a stick.

Dr. Tyler gave up on sticks in the 80s sometime. Wat never did, of course. I prefer my gear choices to what the transmission thinks it should do. I do like Petunia's choices most of the time, but the she has a funky 8-speed, so she has a lot to think about.


The big anvils have the three-on-the-tree and a planetary overdrive arrangement. That is its four-speed. You go through the gears, reach speed, and then tooken your foot off the gas and then reapply it, and it will have shifted into overdrive in the interim.


We can discuss swapping the differential gearing another time. Fortunately, there be options.

The presence of an animal is very therapeutic.

He didn't let my Helper Human reach over the bed to where I was. That was his purview. He stood up and grabbed her arm to stop her. No pain, just direction. He was a bit possessive. It was funny to watch.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Thieves don't know how to drive them!

The kids sure don't.


Well, my kid does.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Did you behave?

That's a very silly question, Dearest.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

And I can tell about the massive abdominal dehiscence!

I can hardly wait.


And parasites. We can't leave Invasive Insects out.

 

[Wonderer67]

Maybe you could smuggle one in?

OMG! They had such a strong two person in the room policy… even on a Sunday afternoon! Althey I am getting to schemalizing how to do it….

 

[Wonderer67]

Did you behave?

If course not! There’s all kinds of snarky comments, cynicism, making fun of executives, etc.

My boss is cool and very funny.

I mean, slomomes gotta do it!

 

[Wonderer67]

Are you gonna cover Coldplay?

And The Freeze!

I bet your house is amazing!

We love oak, too. There's a lot of it in the house. All the cabinets, bathrooms too, and floors. Even furniture. I have a beautiful hand made oak trestle table.

Dr. Tyler liked walnut and mahogany. Of course, she was prone to be a bit snobbish about things.

Lucky you!

On our honeymoon, we wandered into some kind of sales pitch for timeshares, I think. Each couple had their own high-pressure salesperson.

The guy we had kept acting like my husband's best friend and virtually ignoring me. He asked a lot of what I considered very personal questions. Think - how much do you make, how much did you pay for this vacation, what are your goals, etc.

I kept shutting him down by saying it was none of his business, we weren't going to talk about that, etc. He finally leaned into my husband and asked him if he could control me. I was pissed! My husband asked, in what way? The guy said, "Are you just gonna let her keep talking to me like that?"

Let me tell you, I was about to go nuclear on his ass!

My husband leaned back, folded his arms across his chest, and said, "I don't see why not. She's doing a really good job so far!"

Priceless!!! That kinda sales shit is such a shit job. They should stay in the drive-thrus askin' folks if'n they wantin' fries wit' dat.

Ethyl would already have killed him/her/it and scattered its bones.

Packed. Time to load out. Then it's off to see the weasels.


Nothing like a good weasel.


Or maybe there really isn't any such thing.


TDK, your h000man is coming . . . .

So beautiful

 

[subdudeme13]

Agreed, nice color. I love red oak too. Red oak is very common here.

We sawed about 3000 bd ft for all the trim/stairs/handrails,casing when we built. That color is pretty close to what we used in the house.

Not to mention oak is solid. I have a preference for 1/4 sawn but not always the wallet.

Although up at 5, I am now getting caught up. So, good morning denizens of the diner. A warming trend is coming, which means melting snow!.

 

[Missk_2022]

Thank you! I'm thrilled with how they turned out. Exactly like my vision!

They look beautiful!!

He's a natural born therapy dog!

He is a goofy good boy

Bedsores where you can put your fist behind their sacrum from tunneling....ir is in front of?

A story about stick shifting, was the teaching of my daughter on my Honda Civic. Now this car was such an easy shift that you just had to learn to get it into first. So I took my daughter to a parking lot to practice the accelerator with release of the clutch to get into first without stalling.

She struggled and stalled the car often. Frustrated, she became angry and quit after a squirrel sat about 3 feet in front of the car taunting her!.
