Child locks are going on the kitchen after I caught my daughter waving a cast iron pan around yesterday. That baby strength is impressive. She's also climbing the stairs now, so up go the baby gates.

Paint stripping a door is turning into a friggin mess. Hoping I'll be done scraping today and can pressure wash/sand the rest away.

How are you stripping it?
Started with a scraper + heat, which was fairly easy for 60% of the door since the paint wasn't well adhered. The remaining 40% I've been using a chemical stripper, which is great for flat surfaces, but more difficult for the detailed contours. There's a lot of thick, gummy paint on there that doesn't want to cleanly come off. Lots of goo and smearing.

Coffee. Dealing with a client who wants the super deluxe package, but is only willing to pay for the basic package. I'd tell him to try his luck with another firm, but the owners have a strict "we'll do anything you ask" policy... :disgust1:

Morning Monkeys.

I am getting my ass kicked with this project. I keep thinking it is going to click and will just all make sense and yet here I am, just as confused as I was when I started. Then a coworker says I was close and totally rewrites what I had. Good times.

Kiddo got her first jab this morning. She’s a little tired but feeling well. I’m not complaining, a day of hanging out with her is a win in my book.

Will probably stuff my bike in it’s bag for the weekend at some point today.

Almost forgot. Due to wearing a “Purdue Agriculture” shirt I was approached by a early 20’s male and was asked if eggs are dairy or eggs. After explaining a little bit about lactose, fat and proteins in dairy vs eggs, and that dairy can’t ever be fertilized to reproduce, he got pissy and said tiktok says eggs are dairy.

"You can't milk a chicken, ma'am." — my buddy Keith, responding to a woman at a restaurant who insisted that her daughter couldn't have eggs because she's allergic to dairy.

this is not light....

ETA: Apparently her reasoning that eggs are dairy was based on the grocery section they're located.



Not sure if that's dumber or smarter than listening to TikTok?

In the bathroom, fighting a battle
Electrician at work cut through a 1" water line, dumped about a bajillion gallons of water onto our new horizontal mill, so that's good.

Now to cross out half the clauses in a gov. contract we just received, because fuck 'em.

fack. someone has spoofed my phone number. I've been getting a plethora of calls (4 yesterday; 5 so far today) "calling me back". I don't know if these are legit callers, or if they are also victims of spammers. I let Google "screen my calls". I'd turn the ringer off on my phone for a few days if I wasn't waiting for a few important calls.

This is such a pain in the ass. Why can't those arseholes spammers just fuck off and die already.
