I really like the soundtrack on "Guardians of the Galaxy , vol 2".
If you're unarmed, you are a victim
Not 1 iota of knowledge to impart with.
Ain't that the truth.
That's how I know it's true.
Howdy.

Heya Ridge..
I've been havin a less than spectacular go of it lately. I'll keep my head up and a positive attitude best I can, and see how it shakes out.
Heck, tomorrow's Friday, and that's a good thing right there....ha ha.
Hope everyone has a great Friday !!
Hello crowd.
Yo
ho ho
Ho-tastic.
I hope some of today was spent exactly how you wanted to spend it, and in a fashion exemplary to your (OUR) foolish expectations.. :D
Ugh, don't watch videos about optical illusions when you're drunk.

Interesting.
Watching Cars 3 with the family. Kid is loving it.
Abstract thought perhaps, I'm thinking you're going to decide for yourself whether I'm a psycho or not but.....
I've seen some poor behavior by humans, some of it has been conducted by myself from time to time. I'm not proud of that fact, but I will admit it....and I do try to do better as I get older.
As you read this, perhaps you might reflect on an innocent incident that you might have created or been part of without taking the time to realize that you were at the time. I've been in crowded places with lots of people often enough, witnessed selfishness and pure lack of respect for the surrounding people, and just sheer blatant stupidity because no one is as important as you or your needs...ever.
I have a Sams card and shop there from time to time, no big deal....I've seen some over the top shit at a few of those stores over the years....I think you might know what I'm talking about.
I had the misfortune of going to the Costco at Wadsworth and I-70 today at around noon or so. I've never witnessed the frantic level of self serving selfish assholes all in one place at the same time. The entire property was like a massive anthill representing the worst of humanity, or lack thereof. Insane flow of outgoing traffic just trying to get in the door, and more buzz going on inside than a hive of horny bees just trying to bang that queen. I was there against my will, picking up pizzas for those who actually enjoy eating pizza......and while in the Les Nessman marks on the floor at the deli counter......I stood there and did a base reevaluation of society as a whole, and ended up with a hopeless and really disappointing view of the general public and our future. Looking at the people sitting there at the Snack Tables being the pigs that we are, watching the national IQ drop exponentially live in person....like watching the Oprah Springer show.
Okay, mini-rant over. Thanks for listening. I'll go back to my regularly scheduled problems... :)
Doing a two man job alone takes 10x time...
Hurts more too.
I'm getting to old, fat, and tore up to be wrenching on stuff, but I had to change out my hitch rails and shocks today.
Trying to work both sides of a bed alone sucks ass. Vise-gripping and bungee cord lashing wrenches so I could go impact wrench the other side blows. One fucking bolt at a time x8. Some are a total bitch to get to. No wonder I found two rusty old washers down inside one of the shock tower brackets between the bracket and frame. I guess the guys that installed the hitch didn't have any rags.
Of course, I find where they also didn't install required shims in one location between the bracket and bed on each side, and the bolts/nuts/washers, etc are pretty rusted after 13 years, so off to Murdochs for some new hardware. I thought I was paying for pro work, but as usual, I should have done it myself if I wanted it done right. Meh, it held up for 13 years, but I'm adding more tow and ping weight so I want it done RIGHT. I probably could have just put on grade 5, but decided WTH and got all grade 8. Someone cleaned out the entire bin of 1/2" grade 8 nuts. WTF? I found 3 rooting around in other bins. Had to stop at Napa and get raped there for more.
Shocks were kinda secondary, but because one was in the way of the hitch swap, I just got new Bilsteins.
Never did get the fronts done. Tomorrow if I'm not broken in the morning.
I am NOT looking forward to the exhaust brake install coming up... It will be great to have, but installation is gonna bite. It's mostly a one man job, I'm just not looking forward to it, lots of parts and connections and crawling around under the truck. Installing a new go box too, but that's not such a big deal. Couple wiring connections, mostly plug and play.
Nice job bustin' ass.
I'm gonna get started back up on my truck project soon hopefully....gonna be some of the same situation you've described, but it will be worth it when I get rolling on it.
That whole of you want to do it right do it yourself is why i am 5 projects behind.

Over the last month, all three animals have been to the vet, daughter going to doctor tomorrow, and I just got out of the ER for chisel related injuries. All when I haven't worked in months.
Where are everyone tonight?
Super Bowl probably.
Yeah, floating shelves in closet 2.0.
The nurse was telling me how to properly remove the stitches by myself (with lots of winks) so I didn't have to come back in to pay to have it done. I told her I would cut the stitches with my already very sharp chisel. She suggested otherwise. I should have taken this picture and shown it to her for a greater effect.

I did get a tetanus shot while I was there.
Well shucks, Irving. I'm sorry to hear about that chisel accident.
Seems like a long chisel to somehow hurt your fingers....were you chiseling something that was in your lap and hit your leg or something?
All the people who vowed not to watch the NFL are watching the NFL.
FTR... I did boycott the NFL all year, but did watch the Stuper Blow last night. A friend wanted to see the commercials, and my friends Dad wanted to watch it so I made some wings for us and I secretly hoped that Brady would get a head amputation or something, and the Eagles would win. Turned out good.
I was born in Philly too, so I had a slight reason to see how it would turn out. :)
Not fun. I fillet my hand and ended up with 3 stitches a while back. You are right, when the time comes pull the stitches yourself. Get the bastards loose before you snip the knot and pull.
I've been lucky....I haven't gigged myself good in a pretty long time. Never any fun, that's for sure.
