It was all made worse by my chapped, cracked hands which are on fire due to washing and I think a reaction to one of the hand soaps in the house. Dishes done, we'll see if I catch hell for not wiping down the counters, I'm having a Black Friday!
My wife is asking for white elephant gift ideas for a girls night in... I told her she couldn't go wrong with something she has left from when she sold sex toys. She thinks you guys may have better ideas I told her I doubt that but I figured I'd ask lol

The reasons why you have so many kids keep piling up. You are also correct your idea is way better than anything we would come up with.

I break hardened jaw wire cutters about once a year just from cutting 10 ga. sterling and gold wire. The carbon steel becomes brittle with work-hardening. Maybe the same with stainless steel.

I broke cleins once cutting the self tapping tips off screws. Got 3 of the 4 done before it gave on the fourth.

Plugged in the VCR this morning, extracted the tape that was left inside which was a recording of the kids singing R. Kelly's I Believe You Can Fly at Great America years ago that's now broken (will have to see if we can get it fixed) and tested the VCR to make sure that it wouldn't eat any more tapes today by putting in Siegfried and Roy at the Mirage; the one tape I could see sacrificing to the VCR.
This was all in preparation for screening The Nightmare Before Christmas which we have on VHS but not on DVD and which I couldn't find covered under any of the subscription streaming services I pay monthly for.
What a strange experience to change the channel selection to analog coaxial cable input and see snow on the TV before putting the tape in. Also strange to see movie trailers from 1994 before the movie played.

My kid's been bringing home vinyl from Grandma's house and one of them turned out to be a LaserDisc. Sadly, I'd given away my LD player years ago to a teacher.
I'm starting to notice all the old classic movies I want to watch aren't available for free and it's getting old.

Hollyweird hasn’t had an original idea in half a century… Those classics have all been remade now and , IMHO, because they’ve been made “better”, the originals have all vanished into the dustbin of eternity. Pity.
I'm still troubled by what I did for that Klondike bar...
Ain't nothing new under the sun. Some of those "classics" can't stand re-watching, like Soylent Green. I guess I blocked out how slow the pacing of this movie was and over-hyped the "surprise" twist.
Breaker tripped when I started roasting coffee today, knocked my pipe off the counter in the confusion, then reset the breaker, dumped the beans, and started the pre-heat cycle again. They smell fine, it tripped in the first 30 seconds so it should be fine.

Took a detour on my morning walk this morning. Yesterday I heard some kind of machine running up on the top of the ridge behind my studio so I decided to take a look. I had to bust brush though 10 ft tall mountain laurel on my knees for about 50 yards and then it opened up. Years ago I had a path cut but it was overgrown. Out of breath but still going I reached 150 yards to the top. Just over the ridge 25 yards from our property line was a mobile home with a well boring rig punching a well. I just looked and thought about how the modern world is shrinking everything including our little island of peace. I'll cut a path up this week and maybe put in some trip wires.
New Camaro arrived and it's already been damaged in multiple areas...and of course the paint has swirls and scratches all over it, as expected.
Dealer says the bills on me for the Rear Diffuser I won't even say what I said to them about that... I am about to pick it up today and rip this Sales Manager who has a huge attitude problem and zero customer service through the fvcking ground!!!
Here's the battered girl the first time I seen it, REAL clean...
Rear Stain Black Diffuser Gouged...
RH Rear Bumper
This is just the tip of the iceberg, won't even get into the the Wickerbill they drilled into the rear spoiler installed over 1/16"s off or the LH RH rear spoiler they glued on uneven and half @ssed...
Any recommendations how to resolve this without legal action is welcome, they won't work with me. They offered to pay 2/3 of the new rear diffuser and then want me to cover $1400 in labor! These people are sick!
You don't blow over 60 on a rare ordered Camaro and get damaged, half @ssesd work, and no customer service. This situation is legally and morally wrong and I'll make it right one way or another.

Who's being referred to as the white elephant? Does she have some big friends?

I don’t think you’re allowed to call them that anymore
Caucasian elephant?
Melanin challenged elephant?
They?

Got the Christmas lights up today but broke my Leatherman, about to find out how fun this warranty process is.
Dang, I didn't thing those would break.

No icicle lights yet but getting there
Pfft… If I were you, I would be putting all my money on HD-DVD. LASER disk…. That’ll never last.
Cleaning up the cottage before the cleaners arrive.
That’s the fear of the wife and mine. We would clean up before the cleaners got here.

Looks like someone took it for a couple of hot laps.
There must be a way to take this to GM directly. And then, work through a different dealer for the repairs.
