However, to be fair and balanced.....there were some nice and friendly folks with whom I spoke with trying to get shit back to normal. It's the thorns in the aftermath that make it much more unpleasant.

Anyone else keep getting stuck in handicap rooms when they book a hotel or is it just me?
They have a feeling when you present your AARP card.Quote:

I totally spaced the VHS to DVD thing.
My life has been one big train wreck lately so not sure converting my old videos is very high up on my list of priorities right now anyways.
I just wanted to get this machine to you before I bail. 9/2 is the day I drive awayQuote:

I suspect that if they have an abundance of handi rooms, you're getting one. Perhaps it was all the "huh?" you kept saying.
I never thought in my lifetime that I would witness humans colonize other planets. But liberals are making a mad dash for the planet Stupiter, with much haste.
Cleaning out the house to move and downsize maybe. I realized I have stuff that seems silly on face value like lumber scraps but end up saving me $ and a trip to the hardware store when I need to make a small project. Spare tools, specialized tools, etc. I think after next house move in and whatever projects need doing get done, the outliers of the tool and spare will be disposed of. I don?t need 30lb of random fasters. Haven?t used the paint sprayer but once. Do still need a framing nailer?
As money allows the tool boxes will be consolidated into a giant one and that will be the limit for what tools get kept.
I found clothing in the corner of the closet that I did not I had.
Please tell me it?s not just me. [emoji23]
This speaks to my soul.Quote:

I will probably never move again just due to the incredible amount of stuff(and useless shit) we have accumulated.
We have done two major "clean outs/downsizes" in the last 10 years and I still can't imagine moving it all.
I almost feel bad for my heirs... and the auction company they hire to try and sell it.

There's some odds n ends, material wise that made the trip with us. Nothing like rummaging thru the parts bins for a GFI and other electrical material. Instead of running around town trying to piece the materials.
For a while, not even the pro electricians and parts houses had an easy time coming up with a GFI. Supply chain, baby!
Well fuck.
It's already Friday here and we have to bury my [Angel3] mother today.
Gonna be a shitshow for sure.
I should get to bed.
Sorry about your Mom Brutal. ♡
Deepest condolences Brutal.

My condolences.
Condolences from me as well.
Recently dealt with the death of a parent myself so you definitely have my sympathy.
Bummer to hear about that, brother.
I'm afraid I may be in the same situation myself soon.
Additional fun to share....my first Federal Jury summons has occurred. A couple of bad things about this potential are the fact that if I'm selected to appear, I must drive down to the shithole that some people call Phoenix, and find out if I get "picked". If that happens then I'll be subjected to staying in some crappy hotel near the courthouse for two fucking weeks....blow me. Not only will I be missing my wife and my dog the whole time, I'll have to tell the kid to cancel his trip down here and reschedule it. There's no fucking way I'm driving back and down every day, and no point in coming home for a weekend to either pay for a room I'm not staying at, or having to hope to get another room the following monday.
The idea of sitting in on some "big Federal case" does kind of intrigue me, but I'm certainly not impressed with the inconvenience of it all. I had a morality discussion with the wife the other day and pointed out I could easily get dismissed by saying wacky shit or pulling the medical card .... etc, but a lingering reality is I might be able to participate in saving an innocent person, or sending a devoted shitbag off to prison for a long time.
I'll find out on the 16th if any of this will progress.
In the meantime, lets try to enjoy the holiday weekend best we can....and hope the best for all the Ho's.
Sorry to hear this.Quote:

Thanks all for the condolences.
Despite my idiot (youngest) brother's (mostly expected) behavior, we made it though the day.
Fkn moron wouldn't STFU during the service when other people were speaking, kept getting up and down, etc. Pretty sure he was drunk. And this was a Catholic Funeral Mass in the church.
Sorry about your mom, Brutal. Family dynamics during times of stress can be a serious strain. Wish you all the best to get through this tough time.
Please accept our prayers and condolences for your loss, Brutal.
Thanks everyone.
OBC, you watch the roundy, roundy tonite? 55 yrs since Petty won at Darlington. Pretty cool in my book.
Naw, I missed that my friend. Cool though.
It's been a bad week for da Cat....my phone was literally destroyed on wednesday and verizon is fucking arguing with me about it when I've paid insurance on it for like 7 years, wife had a flat on thursday and I wanted to get it repaired yesterday but after the second round of spine injections I couldn't even stand for several hours afterwards let alone walk. Got a letter today from a state appointed psychologist to evaluate my mental cognitive abilities on the same day I was going to head to PHX if I'm selected for the following monday. The really strange thing about it is that it's at a hotel on a sunday....wtf? It's kinda like meeting a drug dealer or an escort or something....creepy.
Soooo, when I walk into the lobby they slap a straight jacket on me? No room number or any other kind of instructions in the official letter. And other than email/internet I've been cut off from the rest of the world. Can't call anyone, had an electrician to do some work for me but I have zero contact info until my phone is replaced.
Fuck.
Since you still have access to the internet, you might want to check the spam-check sites to see if your official notice is some kind of spam.Quote:

Cooktop is acting up. Old cooktop is an odd size and the new one does not cover up the gaps. Fixing the old one will take 400 minimum in parts. New top plus adapter or a different one will be 1000. Don?t trust the old one to last even when fixed.
The appliance shortage sucks. Everything is 3 weeks out and not in stock. Baghh
It's another day of bizarro land. The same people who facilitate illegals across the country. Are APPALLED!! when republicans move the same groups, to democrat cities. 500 is a CRISIS but 2 million isn't a border issue.
F*ck me.
53 glorious days in Green Bay, I'm finally a single digit midget to ETS back to Colorado Oct 1.
Want to punish your kid(s)? make them executor of your estate.
That?s amateur hour. The best way is to pass away without a will or any type of estate planning and let them just figure everything out on their own.Quote:

Someone should have told me that motorcycles nickel and dime you to death.
It's not so much the motorcycle that does that. it's who you decide to let sit behind you that really cost you.Quote:
