    Draining the fish tank and dead fish after hydrogen peroxide got dumped in it from sterilizing some rocks and beach sand.

    Equipment malfunction 15 minutes before closing. Looks like I gotta go in tomorrow at opening and try to fix it.

    Decided to build a pen this weekend for a hog or two. Thanks to the state of Commiefornia the price of pork is going to go way up in the near future.

    Well, Caliphornia's legislature is creating some whopping new debt for its taxpayers, that money's got to come from somewhere, and they think it should probably be you and me.

    Well, they’re actually not profiting from what’s going on now. They’ve just decided in all their grand wisdom that they should decide how pork is raised, produced, and processed. The state itself produces a minimal amount of pork; however, it is one of the largest consumers due to the population. They’ve set new guidelines in place that ultimately affects the entire country’s production and cost. It went to The Supreme Court and they didn’t rule completely against the pork producers but stated that they did not make their case at this time to halt the guidelines. From what I’ve read, it is estimated that it will cost the country’s pork producers around $300-$500 million in initial cost to meet the guidelines.

    If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.

    Hmm, one imagines gender-fluidity guidelines for pork intended for sale in Caliph-ornia.

    I spilled a whole ~200 ml cup of coffee this morning on the counter, the floor, my shorts, and my shoes while trying to get ready for an early morning branding meeting. It's ironic that these things happen when you have the least amount of time available to deal with them. I consequently only had one cup of coffee this morning instead of my normal two cups, but it was a good cup of coffee.

    ~200ml? How much is that for those of us who only speak English?

    Almost 7 ounces. Metric is just easier for me for coffee, it's what my Corelle coffee cups normally hold. Most coffee pots consider a cup to be 5 ounces. I'm not a beast like @peter4jc who drinks at least double that.

    Bet Shawn knows the size of 750 ml. So a bit more than a quarter of that.

    Had extra spicy tacos for dinner on Sunday. Last night's my farts were making me almost gag.

    My wholesaler used to be great. Then Warren Buffett bought the company. No more paper catalog, screwed up web site, discontinued the products I need and outsourced to crappy quality Chinese mfging. Very inconvenient and irritating. Spent the better part of the day trying to find alternatives to no avail.

    I don't know if this is a queen or just a really big variety.
