    So yes, little dude was getting a buzz off the smoke pouring out of my car. Kind of makes sense as at the greenhouses we were surrounded by a tree line and the hawks got closer than I've ever seen in any other setting until my driveway. There were times I'd be counting bugs and look up and see a...

    In 2021 for about 2 months, I had a Coopers that would sit on the awning of my garage and wait for me to get home from the greenhouse. The first week it'd wait until I was in the house then it'd hop on the hood of my car under the shade. The second week, he'd hop on the hood before I was in the...

    Let me guess, you had to sign a liability waver. I have to have the only kid in the country that tells their friends that they can't do something because dad won't sign his rights to sue away.

    New Order - Confusion 1:45pm The teenbeast surfaced. That was the track that thumped her out of bed, peaked the sub at about half power. I got a very dejected teenage glare as she stumbled to the bathroom. So I decided to kindly bring her down with some Doors and Pink Floyd. Either way...

    How much drum and bass does it take to wake up a teenager? If Aphex Twin doesn't work I'm going to have to break some Russian Hardbass or some seriously hard dubstep. She came home from school and instantaneously became nocturnal.

    No, it's a "Celio" electric cello body (cheap a$$ Chinese body) which I stripped out all the electronics, tailpiece, and bridge. I rebuilt the electronics myself, then sent it to a luthier to custom fit a good tailpiece, German cut bridge, and shave the nut and fingerboard to setup the action to...

    Got the new girl up on the wall and ready for rapid deployment. The red PRS I had originally picked out had a neck problem, so I switched to a Gretsch. Looking forward to eventually remodeling this room and figuring out a better way to store my instruments. Not pictured: Acoustic Cello and...

    Marty McFly of 2024 would yeet his Alibaba purchased 'hoverboard' into his Tesla Truck, make it up to 88 mph in nothing flat powered Fukushima coastal waters, then the cheap Tesla stainless steel would rust, the 10k mile rated eVehicle tires would blowout, and the Hover Board's cheap lithium ion...

    I kill mom every harvest. Before culling I take 24 cuttings, the 4 fastest to root get saved, the rest the babies get tossed like a cross-eyed spartan. Three get flowered, the fourth is the handmaiden who is slaughtered after she's bred. I don't have space to keep a long term mom, so a...

    Pix That Make You LOL-Warning-SNWS

    Heh. I was picking up some lumber to build stairs for a remodel. After hitting the actual lumber yard and getting some good lumber for the wall paneling, I rolled into home depot and surprisingly found a really nice panel of radiata that *gasp* was actually flat. So thinking I'd use it for...

    The bedroom studio got a new member tonight, somewhat thanks to the Sam Ash chain closing out. :neutral: Last time I had an electric guitar I was 19. I've got 2 cellos, one acoustic one electric, a bass, 88 grand weighted midi-keys for my digital synth collection, an acoustic guitar my...

    I got up around 9 am today. Rambled around the house until around noon when I woke up the teenager and informed her that if she didn't make "breakfast in bed" for mom soon, that the mom would eventually quit pretending to still be in bed and come out and make it herself.

    Oh yes. Combine punctuality and efficiency nerd and you've got me. Last time I went to my mom's house, 5 hours away. I called and said, "GPS has me arriving at 2:33am. See you then." I pulled in her driveway at 2:32 to this day she doesn't believe we stopped for a bathroom and gas break and...

    Speaking of knives, my wife and I have decided our combined birthday present this year is to replace our mish-mash of cutlery combined from a mess of relatives with various degrees of knowledge concerning knives. i.e. all but 2 are getting thrown away. So trying to decide on a line, If...

    My wife half-jokingly, likes to occasionally remind me that I made a whole career out of a single really bad decision when I was 14 to fix my garage sale 1978 Euro-wired television power adapter with two stacks of pennies to sandwich the plug in place. The adapter had so much play that the...
