222 Weekend day 222
- Thread starter johnbryanpeters
- Start date
Shin Godzilla is the best modern Godzilla movie. It has the feel of the early movies with updated effects and a more complex plot. The bureaucracy subplot is an interesting counterpoint to the Godzilla destruction scenes. Watching Godzilla morph from a goofy kaiju to an enormous city-leveler is hair raising. It's in Japanese, so subtitles. Watch for the mirrored eyes.

Sister just called to report that she fell and broke her wrist. What don't people use 911?
Deck coffee morning #2. Cool and breezy.
Didn't get around to mowing yesterday. Will today.
Morning Monkeys.
Doing things the first time is interesting. Got these cool push button latches for the truck. Totally hosed the first drawer. Hole was 1/16" too high.
The second one turned out great. I will spend today correcting the first one.

Sitting on the front porch, drinking my coffee. Some dude goes by, heading up hill on a skateboard, and he's moving. Apparently electric skateboards are a thing? Sort of want.
Here. Playground stripping is... 2/3 done, but the part that doesn't want to come off is left. Debating whether to try and stain over that part, but it's solid color, so not sure if I can. @dan-o - any feedback here?
Pulling down the fireplace surround today and hoping to be able to run a smurf tube and start rewiring the A/V in the family room. Also planning to mount the 70" TV in the basement.
Broached the idea of replacing the baseboards with something more inline with Wifey's (mine a bit too) style. It's more work, but allows for a much faster painting process if I can ignore the existing baseboards when painting, in addition to the ceiling.
Neighbor and I are putting together plans for what all we can do (most) and then the basement renovation at this house. His will be a frame-up build-out, so that will be a much "easier" build in that we won't have to work around existing drywall when running wire. It's going to be a busy summer.

You know who has those around here? Kids. Lazy fuckers don't know how hard skateboarding used to be.
Am I to presume that they are also on your lawn?You know who has those around here? Kids. Lazy fuckers don't know how hard skateboarding used to be.
HEY-OH!!! I just pounded some oatmeal...the awesomely shitty stuff that comes in packets. YUMMEH! I ran 16 miles early this morning, which gives me 75 miles of running for the week. That feels like a lot. Not too much that I can't ride a bicycle later!! Gotta go...a fresh pot of coffee just finished brewing.
There are now two free Team Pain concrete parks within 45 mins of me. And there's no one there in the mornings. We used to drive two hours to ride literal garbage.You know who has those around here? Kids. Lazy fuckers don't know how hard skateboarding used to be.
ride done. post ride beer done. otw home for moar coffee. mebbe stain wood for replacement porch stairs today.
These days they might put a sling on it and tell you to go drive to urgent care yourself. That's an alpha response. they don't transport alpha and bravo levels under covid19 anymore
The days I ride that early nowadays I usually wind up napping in the hammock. Nttawwt.
was planning on going riding but its raining. indoor gym day it is.
Espresso is kicking in big time

You’re good to go.
Might need to do a little blending between bare/existing stain areas.
Orbital sander?
Reddit gets super mad when you say FWD cars aren't sports cars. Well, I don't say it like that. I say something like "FWD cars are for trading your SNAP for oxys."
It's like the helicopter, only with more days of abstention beforehand
How are the cancer crops coming in?
Got a couple calls back from the police regarding the theft report. Things are looking hopeful, they're going to send a mugshot panel to hopefully ID the asshole.
All cleaned up from the storm, minimal damage overall to my relief. Got power back yesterday after about 16hrs. Currently 5 Verizon trucks running new lines now.
Where/why are you flying?
Rocket launching was a success. 3 motors used, 5 year old pushing the button on two and the 7 year old on the other. I think the motors were A8-3, and the rocket probably reached a height of 300 feet, I'd estimate, followed by successful chute deployment each time. Enough to entertain the kids.
Then a security guard at the Dicks Sporting Goods Park rolled up to the parking lot where we were and gave me a scolding, but we were already done at that point.

That's how I've been spending my vacations for the past 17 years. Only I can't really do more than 10-12 days per trip.
Sitting in interview room at the police station awaiting photo line up. Officer helping me got into a fight with the resident crazy in lobby while waiting. Told to sit tight as said officer has to follow crazy to the hospital.
Interesting couple days I've had.

Story time, Uncle CrabJoe
Watched guy steal shit out of my Jeep while returning to it in the lot. Got vehicle model, plates and description of him. Filed report Fri when it happened.
Ah, that incident. I thought some new public lewdness charge or some other entertainment.
Prepping for apparent epic rain storm tonight.
The wasps are back on our front door. Ugh.
Super short ride today. Went to local spot that has small rolling hills, but I just felt dead. Going home to setup our new hose reel, wash some bikes and have some beer.
Burgers with mixed in pork belly for dinner on brioche buns.
::edit:: also, the forest was filled to the brim with kids. Damn, those little people are harder to dodge than suicidal chipmunks. One little guy yelled at his dad when I passed "daddy lookout a human!!" Lol'd
