Got my $20 back from the ebay seller of my wacky crankset. Now I debate whether to sell them to break even or keep them as they were wicked cheap for what they are.

Man, it was tough rolling out bed at 6:30 this morning after nine hours of coma sleep. Wife has been away for two nights now and I have managed to keep the pets alive. I did throw away a plant though. :monkey:

I've had the weirdest day yesterday. First I want to buy tickets for Stormzy (UK Rapper, probably not known to most people in the US despite headlining Glastonbury) and my GF tells me not to and decides to give my my next months Birthday gift early and it's a trip we will take to Berlin for his concert plus some art stuff and food stuff and meeting friends. So i'm incredibely happy. Best gift ever.

Then the day becomes weird and since the story was personal I will only give you a glimpse. Basically an old neighbor of mine, who with my GF treat like family, a recent widow decided to blackmail us into getting a Christian marriage this year by saying "I will die soon (perfect health btw) get married before I die". How do you reason with that?

Empire shrinking

Props for that though actually Stormzy has great teeth. He still seeps tea in his recent diss track. I seriously recommend Stormzy and Wiley. Especially their recent diss tracks towards each other since they are amazing writers.

Well, yeah, brits get heathcare. British teeth aren't "special luxury bones" as I've heard them referred to in America.

He's on Spotify, so I'll give him a listen.

Listen to the singles.

Also blame brits teeth on years of inbreeding. That's why non white brits have non british teeth. Screwed up teeth are a real sign of nobility.

Currently sitting in pre-op at Children’s for Hannah. She’s getting tubes for her ears and her adnoids removed today.

Plan on working during and afterwards. Yeah fun.

Morning Monkeys.

So the awkward job went to someone else. I'm not sad about it, but I do still need something more substantial than month to month. Or not, maybe this is my life now. Yay.

Get to do some troubleshooting on the car this weekend. It has decided to drain the battery overnight. So I have that to look forward to. Today is feeling like a shed day. You know where to find me if anyone cares.

how old and how christian is she? like full blown white jesus koolaid christian?
She is 90+, lived through the massacre of Poles in Ukraine. She is also supper nice and never imposed her religion on us before. If you think a nice old lady you think of her but she also has a ton of energy and is very present and smart.

Mornin!

Only one in the house up at this point, doggos and wife are still snoozing. Man do we have some lazy and good doggos.

Thinking I'll make some home made pizza sauce and dough for tonight. It's either that or chicken piccata with garlicky bread crumb broccoli. Haven't made up my mind yet.

Kind of want...

I dig it. Would be excellent fun on the roads around me, right up until I came up on a soccer mom doing 5 below in a gargantuan SUV.

I want somebody to build that in an electric format. I've been looking at i3s for that reason- short range, quick, RWD dynamics. I think it would be so much fun. LEAF nismo?
