    Meaning of life, existence, etc.

    Why are we hear? Tacos. So many options. Flour or corn tortilla. Beans or no beans. Ground beef, chicken, turkey, carnitas, steak. Cheddar or a cheese blend. To guac or not to guac, that is the question. what type lettuce? To lettuce at all? Pico? Salsa? Spice level? Sour cream...

    Home ownership "fun" never ends

    You too? My water heater died on the day for the birthday party my mom was throwing for me to get everyone together. So my wife and kids went while I stayed and put in the new hot water heater. Original plumber had set the valves so low that I needed to drain the entire house, raise the...

    Gotta keep as many kids born as possible so there are enough targets for the mass casualty school shootings.

    It's July 4th...I think

    Well, winning contests by eating 60+ hotdogs is not the way to maintain your health. I mean, that's taking on over 29,000 mg of sodium in just the hotdogs alone never mind the buns. That's like curing yourself like a ham but from the inside.

    Infrastructure

    I'm not sure if it's tied to the infrastructure bill, but several bridges and a major interchange are being redone this year. But they took out my main exit ramp while they redo the bridge. Adds 10 minutes to my commute. At one point, my main cutover to the highway from my house was closed...

    Anybody garden here?

    Are you using standard LED lights in the outdoor spectrum? You got me thinking of doing this in my basement. After the stroke last year, my diet has changed drastically and I eat a ton of greens now. Keeping fresh greens throughout the year would be nice and cut down on the grocery bill...

    Pics of my last 7 days at the trailer broken down into two visits

    Great pics!! Watch out for those critters that have "stink" in their names. I hit a skunk with my car about a month back. I didn't kill it, but gave it a headache as I couldn't stop in time. Damn thing sprayed the front and underside of car. It's better, but I can still get whiffs of it...

    Car Audio Question/Suggestions

    I decided to put this in the steam vent section as a number of us are older like me. I have to realize that I now fall into that category. Anyway, I have a 2001 Ford Mustang Cobra Convertible that I picked up at auction a couple of years ago. Basically, before the pandemic. Then I tore my...

    Ancient Win98 App Help

    I tried that among others. Even the basic <space> and enter. I found a pwl file extension which is what software people used back then to store password info. But I haven't been able to read that. I've been through all the documents I have from the purchase. I found some old tech documents...

    Ancient Win98 App Help

    I have a small business and 6 years ago I bought a used piece of CNC shop equiment from an auction of a closed business. It operates off an old PC running windows 98. To operate the machine itself, there is a program written by the machine manufacturer that starts via an executable file. With...

    Alec Baldwin

    That was my take when I read they had been practice shooting on the set with live ammo. There never should be live rounds present during the shoot. GO-NAD stated he always checks to make sure a firearm is unloaded and I do too. Even if I just saw it being checked, I still check again. When I...

    What has Gillette done?

    I like the Mach 3 but someone inside Gillette got a severe case of the stupids a number of years ago and the replacement blades price was riased into the realm of ridiculous. I used up what I had and then tried Harry's. While I found the Harry's three blade head to be bulky and unwieldy, the...

    A little story about a drunk Republican and a drunk Democrat at the same table.

    I used to be conservative but that was before they became a right wing fascist party. Yikes. I don't understand the hypocrisy from the evalgenicals that think Trump is the second coming of Christ. Christ never boned a porn store while his third wife was giving birth to his son. I'm pretty...

    A little story about a drunk Republican and a drunk Democrat at the same table.

    20% of ICU beds for Covid in the south are Children and that's rising. The Delta variant is killing kids too and people are ignoring that fact. They also ignore that children under 12 can't get the vaccine yet.

    Well, that was rather unpleasant...

    Update: It's been 3 moths since my stroke. I went for a hike on the ice age trail in Wisconsin yesterday. Basically 2.7 miles each way along a dirt path up and down ravines, through woods, fields, etc. Lots of rocks, uneven dirt, and tree roots. From a stroke recovery standpoint, it's...

    Well, that was rather unpleasant...

    What exercise routine? I was tied to my desk running my business. Since wife changed job I was the only who could take the youngest kid to school and pick her up. So pretty much getting home at like 5:30-6 pm, cook dinner and whatnot. Often work until 9 pm then.

    Well, that was rather unpleasant...

    No warning signs before. I had it confused with a bad migraine but looking back I was in denial because I didn't want to eat the cost of an ER visit if it was just a migraine. Insurance really jacked me around last year when I tore my bicep off my forearm. So I was hesitant go through that BS...

    Well, that was rather unpleasant...

    Been away for months. Root cause: had me a stroke and I'm not even 50 yet. Needless to say that was not fun at all and 0/10 would not recommend to anyone. Losing control of your right side when you are right handed just plain sucks. But after almost 2 months of therapy, I can say I'm doing...

    Lowes steam vent

    As a custom wood shop and a small manufacturer, I am totally feeling this. I don't buy from the big box stores but have major distributors. I start my opening lines to my sales reps with "You can stop laughing any time now, but do you have any of XXX in stock and what is the crazy price...

    N/A

    From what I read, the storm was predicted and warnings were issued. I don't know if they knew of the severity (80-90+ mph winds) at the time. I'm hoping they can get some answers from the survivors and hopefully find more in air pockets in the hull. I can't imagine those lift boats are much...
