Celebrating a friend's birthday with a visit to the local board game tavern.

First time playing #takenoko
Fun game.

Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.

Doing some drywall today.

These are notes for myself...

* cut drywall with a utility knife and a straight edge - accurate within 1/4" is sufficient.
* don't use so many drywall screws.
* smear drywall mud over your clothes. It's going to happen anyway.
* throw drywall mud on the floor where you can step on it
* might as well squish drywall mud between your fingers
* 45 minute quick drywall mud becomes 5 minute quick drywall mud after storing for more than 2 months.
* if doing more than one section of drywall at a time, smear fingers in the previous section of drywall when starting the next
* sometimes a hand planer works better than a sander
* only I will look closely enough at the final product to find all the flaws

Disturbance At The Heron House

YouTube
Kash Patel is reportedly furious and threatening to sue anyone who calls him “J. Edgar Boozer.”
It would be a real shame if this went viral.
