  1. I have had a great uncle's leather club chair for about 20 years now. It is very solid but the leather was shot when I got it. It made me feel nostalgic. I started stripping the leather off which made me feel nervous. I have never been one to work on leather projects, you see. I then took the old cotton batten out and thought about the cotton workers who toiled to make a chair. This made me feel sorry for them. Then the horse hair was removed which made me feel like I could have had a nice pair of shoes made back then. I needed to repair the wood armrest frame but the wood was being difficult as it is a hardwood that is near petrified. This made me feel angry. I increased the size of the pilot hole and held everything in place while I used my electric screw driver. This made me feel thankful for the screwdriver and competent. Then the screw broke. This made me feel angry again. I then moved the pilot hole and decided to use a little more rpm on the drill with the screw. This made me feel aggressive. Damned if the screw didn't whistle through the wood and into my finger. This made me feel like an idiot. I pulled my finger off the screw and that made me feel linguistically liberal. Once I cleaned my finger, I put a bandage on it and carried on with the project. I thought about driving to see Parr8 about the injury but then thought he would remove the finger and give it to a fingerless bum. That made me feel distrustful of transplant types. The end.

  2. Just say you generally do not like people but enjoyed her working for you (everyone will laugh because they will know at least the first part is true) Also say how much you appreciated how much work she did and how it made your job easier, and give a small example(but only if it is true) Do not try to be funny..., it will come off as awkward.

  3. Sunday. I coated the ribs in yellow mustard and then dry rub (wild willys number wonderful rub). Weber grill, low indirect heat with charcoal and hickory for two hours. Applied a homemade sauce, sweet n heat. Good stuff.

  7. The old TV repair shop that is. The don't do as much repair work on TV's as they used to but they have branched out into other things like mobile phones with broken screens etc. My geezer buddy was excited to see me. "Come to the back and see this thing I'm supposed to fix". I went, didn't understand what it was though. "It's a parody meter that some yoyo brought in for repair. It's working fine but the yoyo doesn't properly do the self cal before each use. I'm going to charge him for a repair and before I give it back I'm going to point out the self cal mode switch to him. He deserves to pay for my time because he's such a yoyo."

  8. Your friend makes great points. I wonder if he knows my repair guy. Is your guy certified by the PMAoPMA? I need to get one of those new fangled meters with the self cal mode you are speaking of. I still have to do mine with the pedal wrench.

  16. It was solid. I wish there was another camera showing us. He had the lens, plus one arm on each light, one over the camera on my head and one underneath on my hoses. The other three were holding himself to the ground. I just picked up the camera off the bottom to expose his underbelly so they feel vulnerable and they let go. If he didn't let go, I am not sure I would have gotten the camera back

  17. I don't know. You shouldn't. You are a great observer of all that is around you and have a knack of turning it into an inane, yet entertaining, forum topic. I think you should do more drunk posting, too.

  19. I had an idea for a lazy French onion soup. Get a carton of TJ's organic beef bone broth, one per serving. Do the onions. While that's doing chop up some veggies and simmer them in the bone broth for a couple hours with thyme and bay leaf to make it more brothy. At this point, you want to add something, wine, cognac, sherry, even vinegar. But not much if it's vinegar. Pour a crock half full of broth, add some onions, cover the top with pieces of a toasted baguette, and then a lot of gruyere, and put in a 375-400 oven just til the cheese has melted and is just starting to brown. The wife came in while I was writing this, I'll prob be making it manana. Per order of the management.

  22. Don't dice the onions too fine. Cut them in half then in slices bout 1/8 to 1/2" thick. Heat butter or oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, bout 5 minutes. Turn the heat down a little if they start to brown. Turn heat to low and cover pan. Stir occasionally (every 5 minutes or so). Done in 20 minutes.

  34. Yeah once, wrapping lunches. Let me explain... When I went back to school I took a job for a local school district in their central kitchen. We made the food and then delivered it to the schools kitchens who would then prep it for serving. We also made thousands of lunches in plastic containers wrapped in Saran Wrap. Pull a sheet, place it on the plastic container and seal & place it in a larger container for shipping. Oh and you had to do this with gloves on... Nobody liked wrapping the lunches as it was a pita and a bad wrapper slowed the line down. I sucked at it at first but got to be an exceptionally fast wrapper that I could wrap both sides of the line so They only needed me instead of 2 and sometimes 3 people to wrap. So yeah I truly mastered the task of wrapping school lunches.
