  1. This should have been a super easy project, but of course it wasn't. I ended up with three different head types on the screws, so I had to keep changing the driver bits. I tried going through the 2x6 then into the 4x4, but I couldn't hold the 4x4 tight enough to the 2x6. (Later, HoSmudge told me I needed to use clamps. Oh!) Had to move stuff to get the ladder in there at correct angles. Stripped out a screw head or two (HoSmudge taught me how to use vice grips to remove them.) So ya. Should have been a three minute project. It took longer. Anyway, the hook is up, it works great. After installation, went for a ride on the muddy, rutty, icy camp road. Thank goodness for large tires with low PSI.

  2. Sloopy is now 6 days old. 4 lbs 8 oz at 1 day. Yesterday she weighed 5 lbs 2 oz. I'm sure everyone here wishes they could gain weight that fast.

  3. Went out for a walk last night and came across this father and daughter. All she wanted to do was play catch with her dad All he wanted to do was make her run through drill after drill Inside, Outside, hitting spots. Poor girl was so confused but she was good at doing what he bitched about.

  4. This should have been a super easy project, but of course it wasn't. I ended up with three different lengths of the staples, so I had to keep changing the stapler's feed. I tried going through the 1x6 then into the 1x4, but I couldn't hold the 1x4 tight enough to the 1x6. (Later, WoRE told me I needed to use clamps. Duh!) Had to move stuff to get the sawhorse at correct angles. Missed a staple or two (WoRE taught me how to use needle nose pliers to remove them.) So ya. Should have been a three minute project. It took longer. Anyway, the mount is up, it looks great. After installation, went for a ride on the pristine and beautiful country roads. Thank goodness for narrow tires and Di2.

  5. Because instead of replacing the door switch on our ancient drier, I use a crutch, a footstool, and a block of wood to put enough pressure on it to to run.

  6. A lifelong friend of mine just got out of hospital in London. He took ill while there on business and just brushed the fatigue on jet-lag. 4 days later he was in hospital and on a ventilator for 10 days. He is 62 but a lifetime competitive soccer player. No other ailments. He said he was convinced he wasn't going to survive it.

  10. Three comments This appears directed at one or more people here. Not cool. Last I checked, you are neither a virologist, epidemiologist, or physician of any kind, so you're "clearing this up" for us is only a distillation of what you've read in the news. If the masks help at all, they are helping others, presumably not you, in case you're are contagious and asymptomatic. Don't assume that symptomatic people aren't still going out to do whatever they feel they have the right to. I've been pretty lenient with the posts as we're all stressed, but please don't try to cause more stress for some, even if it's only one.

  13. the masks for @Airehead's school are done and ready to ship tomorrow. We still have more material. We bought 9 yards of remnants at $1.99/yard instead of the regular price of $5.99. Made a total of 27 masks and used about 1/3 of the material.

  14. A lot of people on tv and in the world are making incredibly stupid declarations, decisions, policies, and inviting the unwashed masses to behave the same way, so I thought I would clear this up. First, a simple mask of any sort is an obstacle, not an impermeable barrier, and WILL PROVIDE A SMALL AMOUNT OF PROTECTION for yourself. You miserable dumbfucks need to realize that it is nowhere near as good as the fancypants masks, which ALSO DON'T PROVIDE 100% PROTECTION, just much more. How much more? Dunno, does anyone know exactly? Anyway, a simple obstacle does provide a small amount of protection for yourself and some more protection for others. Anyway, only an ignorant fuck would ignore reality and flounce around at larger dinner parties or allow children to have playdates or lick grocery carts. Also, only an ignorant fuck wouldn't at least see the value in wearing a mask to protect others (when grocery shopping, for instance), especially since many folks don't have ANY symptoms. You breath that shit out, other people can get it, no matter the long odds and no matter how unlikely it seems to you. Don't contribute to someone's death because you are ignorant dumbfuck. People who are dying have value beyond money to lots of folks. Don't be a dumbfuck.

  17. I never buy store bought cookies and unless the kids are home we never make them because I am weak to temptation and would eat them all and be as big as a house. However with this Covid thing the Girl Guides are unable to go door to door selling so the grocery stores bought all their cookies and are selling them in the store. My wife grew up in the girl guide movement so we always support them so I picked up some on the weekend when picking up groceries. I should have bought more. But I do have a treat to go with my coffee

  30. I didn't keep count I just know that my legs are screaming at me from pushing the wheelbarrows up hill. We did not have to pay demurrage we only went a few minutes over. The truck driver was even hanging out in the back yard talking to Scott. The truck drivers dad is the owner of the cement company and I have known the truck drivers dad since kindergarten.

  38. I think there are three or four and they just keep rotating them. Anyway that's what it seems like to me. I take my afternoon break in our break room, and I'm pretty sure I've seen all the movies more than once. Or, it could just be they are all basically the same and just seems like there are three or four.
