    Started up my truck this AM and the truck told me my right rear tire was low. It was 2 degrees out. Went into my studio and cranked up my compressor to fill my air tank. Got the tank to 100 lbs and went outside to attend the tire. It was so cold I lost feeling in my fingers and had to get plyers to get the valve cover off the tire. The tire went up and the light went off. It's really cold in these NC mountains.

    Yeah, I get that all the time this time of year. I drive a Ford, so...it's common with the tire sensor I've heard when it gets cold. Could also be my bead on the tires. Either way, I have a little compressor that plugs into the cigar- er, I mean "utility port" and it works well enough. Waiting until tomorrow to do mine, tires looked fine and I don't care about the stupid warning light. We're at -3 here and it should get back to the 20's or so tomorrow.

    I'm searching for one of my vials of gold leaf so I can apply it to this 5 Vegas maduro and turn it into a true baller stick. Nobody, not even a person smoking a Dunbarton Unicorn is gonna be this cool.

    Heating repair in the pottery shop, $145/hour, lol, and they can't come until Friday. At least there are no water pipes in there to freeze.

    Think rap music and everything you would see on Mtv if you made the mistake of watching it. Now, think Mike Tyson before he started to bite ears off, beat women, and do hard drugs. Next, add a dash of P. Diddy, then just a smidge of Thor (the movie version), and you've got yourself a BALLER.

    Fixed the mess the handyman made of our bathroom sink p-trap (had to start from scratch) and fixed a leaky hot water cartridge.

    Put up railings on each side of my others steps to her pottery studio. Went into the woods and found two standing dead 4 inch diameter locust trees. Cut the trees and hauled them to my studio. A hour on the shaving horse with a drawknife and the rails were ready. Another hour and the rails were lag bolted in place. A springtime honeydo and it is not spring yet..

    They make sunflower seeds without the shells.

    I feel like I just found a cheat code to life.

    I know some people who eat sunflower seeds with the shells, and even people who don't peel or devein shrimp.

    Not me, I load up my cheek with about 10 seeds, move one to my front teeth with my tongue, split the shell, spit the husks and eat the seed.  I don't like the seeds without the shells because I enjoy the process and it gives me something to do.  Without the shells, I'd eat too many seeds too quickly.

    I found that you could re-purpose an empty gum container with a sandwich bag that allowed you to pour out the seeds from the side (which were under the bag) and spit the shells into the top. I didn't stick with it and just use spit cups.

      
    You ever see someone with two beer bottles, one they're drinking out of and the other they're spitting into (seeds or tobacco) get drunk and confused and take a swig from the wrong bottle? I went to a popular ag school (also popular for Engineering) and witnessed this many times.

    @Yakster Wait. You spit the shells OUT?

    :open_mouth:

    I used to eat them whole, especially the flavored ones. I just found the seeds without shells to be easier to swallow.

    :D
