... for a friend of mine who will need wheels for another month or so.

Now is the time to dream your #NoLimitSummer

I've got the bright idea to make #windchimes that play minor chords. Think "Addams Family" wind chimes. I'm going to make them out of #rebar of various lengths and diameters.

So far I've got a list of minor chords, corresponding note frequencies, a digital piano tuner, rebar, cutting/grinding tools, and a single test note (A7) that sounds great!

Anyone got any advice for me?

I've started my #SteamPunk piece. I don't have an exact design in mind, though it will end up supporting a corner shelf.

Yikes #Yelp!

Most useful #YelpReview ever!

Louis Rossmann has testified in international court cases as an expert witness and before the U.S. Congress. He's not the guy to jerk around. He's not asking for special treatment, he just doesn't wanted to be extorted (since fixed), and he'd like to change his place of business' address. That's not a big ask.

Yelp is the pettiest company of all time

Tomorrow we'll celebrate the anniversary of my birthday.

Yesterday my wife produced a 1 pound tin of English butter toffees.

Apparently this was a coincidence.

Mistakes were made.

This is a comedy sketch, right?

Arrive at work 10 minutes before your boss. For all they know, you've been there an hour.

Leave work at least 10 minutes after your boss (see above).

People to never piss off:
- the supply sergeant
- anyone who handles your food

Your drill sergeant will yell at you. It's their job. It doesn't matter how great you are, you'll still get an ass chewing. Nothing personal.

First: learn your job. Learn it so well you can do it in your sleep. Be the professional.
