I was drilling holes in canning jars lids (not rings) making fungus spawn jars. You need a 7/16" hole to insert the self-healing injection port. I already had done adozen 1/4" holes for the vent patches.

I found that the 7/16" drill bit didn't have the piercing tip like the smaller bit so after doing a couple of them I drilled about half way through and flipped the lid upside-down to go the other way. That sharp edge was facing up, I grabbed it hard, and I pressed GO on the DeWalt. The bit caught on the unfinished hole in the lid, the lid spun, and fingers went slicey-slicey.

I puckered somewhere south of the equator at that thought.

When I was working in the corporate world, my favorite and most frequent position was in sales (big surprise). I'm fucking great at it. The only down side is that I have to deal with people, and I don't really dig that. Luckily for me, my complete apathy seems to come across to clients as careful listening and concern. Anyway, I've been booking a LOT of last minute gigs lately with my favorite sales technique, The Takeaway. When they take more than a couple of days to sign, I simply contact them to say that another couple wants to book me for the same date, so do they still want me or should I take this other opportunity? They almost always sign and pay the deposit immediately, and when they don't, I figure that I wasn't going to land that gig, anyway. Very effective...

Colorado Springs, or pretty much anywhere in the plains...I was driving from complex in Ks and the temp was bouncing from 90 to 60 and back. No wonder there was a tornado.

There’s a stupid fire in stupid southern Cali raining stupid ash on my plants. Grrrr!

I have them covered as best as possible, but may have to spend the morning finding room indoors for like 30 potted plants, and lugging them around

My dog had a dentist appointment in LA and they closed the 14 and 5. I wasn't willing to go over the Angeles Crest.
