Noticed there are quite a few sites with Lost & Found Paradise Lost on sale, this site being one of them. Wonder why?
I bought a couple 10 packs of those last year and had a lot of trouble with them. Mostly wrapper issues, tended to swell and get flaky. Good flavor, while they lasted, a couple of them were good all the way through, but the fail rate was too high for me. I may still have a few of them in the cooler, hoping time will heal them, but I'm not getting any new ones. No idea if others are experiencing this, or if it's just the ones that I got.

My oleander, still inside but heading outside soon, is starting to bloom. For the 15 or so years I've had her (his name is Ollie the Oleander when there are no blossoms, but Olivia when there are) I've never had flowers inside. And the flowers give off the most wonderful fragrance, which is enjoyed while sitting in my recliner.
Also... my basement terlet faces a window... I don't know what it is, but having a fresh breeze in my face while peeing is a wonderful, wonderful thing. Sorry if that's TMI.
I've usually had at least 5 or 6 by now, but only 2 so far this year. I guess the chiggers are running them off, because I've got at least 6 of those right this minute.
In other news, swallowed my temporary crown with breakfast this morning. Come Monday, it'll be alright...assuming the permanent one shows up on schedule and isn't "delayed by Covid".
Have a dinner with my girlfriends family tonight, ribs. That should be a challenge with an exposed dental nerve.
On top of that, I'm on half-rations for coffee and cigars due to hypertension.
I predict my mood will be:
Delightful!

Found a router table with the router still attached under the old cabin on the North 40. Spent a couple hours tearing the router to individual molecules. Little oil, some rust removal, blow the dirt out & it runs like new. I’m thinking I just made all my half lap joints way easier.
I'm still troubled by what I did for that Klondike bar...

A no kidding, fer realsies Sears Craftsman. There were 3 other routers, a couple jigsaws, a worm drive circ saw and a couple air nailers too. The nailers & the circ are usable. The rest are pretty much toast.

The job I turned down in Texas was for craftsman. Socket and hand tool production is being brought back to the US and will be made in the Ft Worth area.
Apparently firing off an email to the one person that keeps dodging you and including everyone else you can find in their company makes them perk up and call ya back...squeaky wheel gets the grease as they say lol.
I've done nothing today but sit on the couch, drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes since I got out of bed at ten or eleven. Great day off! Now it's time for a cigar.

Sadly, I often find that I don't get results unless I include the person's direct manager in the email thread. When it's important and I don't get a response I reply to the email asking for an update and adding the next level manager up to the thread each time. This usually gets action.

I learned today that there's Civil, Nautical, and Astronomical Twilight (with each 6 degrees of arc between the steps) and a lesser known photographic Blue Hour in addition to the more well known Golden Hour.

Is there an Astronautical Twilight? When people who've been to space turn into vampires?

Going in tomorrow for a procedure to fix my veins in my leg. Had them for years, but turned painful for the last year. Should be in and out, off feet for 1-2 days. We’ll see how that works out!

They might be bringing them back with a new label. Seems every time multiple sites put them on sale, a month later they have a new band.

Diesel outages all across FL, GA, NC are making my job really annoying.
I'm leaving work early tonight, I can and I am tired.

It's mowing day, two farms, one city yard and the lakeside RV lot. I do have a new set of earbuds to help pass the time.
Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.
back on the antibiotics for Lyme and Anaplasmosis. I hate deer ticks.
Sorry to hear that, Edward. I hope you're back to 'your normal' soon.

I've picked off six off of me so far this year.
Did some research on how long lyme been around. I thought it was only a recent thing....I guess I was wrong...... https://www.livescience.com/18704-oldest-case-lyme-disease-spotted-iceman-mummy.html

My beard had gotten long enough that it's starting to enter my field of view.
Managed to get into the North 40 today. Lots of moose and bear sign. Didn’t quite get stuck, but got slowed way down in s few spots goin in.

Awesome score! Clearly from the before days when craftsmen was the best.

I love my Craftsman scroller saw. @Patrickbrick
That thing is 20+ years old, not made anymore by anyone and works like new. I definitely love it.
