Because the kiddo doesn’t care about ‘baseball diamond’ lines, and I do.
I had similar mistyped email address issues from a custom blind order they put in for me over the phone. Then it took nearly two months to get the install scheduled/done.
y u no Bali Blinds via Costco.com instead? or was it something only HD carries?
I haven't mowed in approximately a decade. Though I never have any fancy lines like that.
Just got an email from Hannah's school. They are so short on teachers that they are asking parents for referrals with a 1-week free bonus if they stay 90-days per teacher they refer. The economist in me just wants to say "pay them more" if that means costs go up, then those who can't afford it will stop sending their kids, so you won't have the need for as many teachers. Economic balance.
If the (R) parents (large portion) who were bitching about the last price increase want private school for their 0-5 y/o kids, then they need to accept the open market and pay for it. Otherwise they can figure out other options. Free market baby.
Oh, and about half the day-care options in our area closed in the last 2 months. Most of the church daycares closed because of staffing primarily, but mask mandates as a secondary (church folk apparently don't like to wear masks). Demand is high. These teachers can get paid whatever the hell they want.

I just pulled up their careers page. $12-14/hr. Fuck that shit. They need to increase their costs by 10% (sucks for us) and pay more, to keep their staff and be able to hire more.
“Pay peanuts, don’t even get monkeys”
Not costco members. Can't even remember what brand we bought. Happy with the outcome just took a while to get there.
thamales muy grandeth!
Playing with actual lasers today, kinda excited. My first run of my automation framework on metal, should be funny if nothing else.
I’ll come mow your yard if you let me park my van there for a few days and show me and Ms Dirtrider around trails.
Boss told me today I have been under a lot of pressure and should take a day off.
Welp, I think I am going downhilling tomorrow. It has been a while.

speaking of DH, i will be going next weekend. Blue Mountain PA for anyone in the mid-atlantic. Sunday is most likely day.
From Urban Dictionary:
Thamale
A incredibly short person, usually with curly hair that happens to fail a LOT. Has an eccentric taste in music, preferring metal and rock bands, though may not actually headbang due to constant fear or failing.
Failed on Tamale acquisition, but did get some Salvadoreño Papusas, which is the frisbee version of the same damn thing. Kinda-sorta-ish.
Aand just like that, because of a critical meeting with a prospect who just messaged me, I may have to delay to next week.Boss told me today I have been under a lot of pressure and should take a day off.

Dammit. Now I'm hungry for some papusas.
Lunch? No tamales in the 406. Got my tires sorted with proper rotation and such so I"ma go ride now. First run on Ground Control T7 / T5 combo. If I feel like a second run I'll swap out for the Ikons, now with new and improved forward facing knobs. Also a lot less air. I should grab an apple.
Goddamn, If I still drank, it would be a two-pint Long Island Iced Tea evening.
Maybe I need to bust out a 5mg gummie, but I haven’t been loving the thc much lately, so maybe not.
Fucking stress.

Only closers get gummis.
CBJ is back in the states but it got a little hairier than expected when the airlines asked for birth certificate. I had pictures on the phone luckily.
Tomorrow we drive to Charlottesville for a wedding and back in NYC again Sunday where we will just hand lit with friends for 10 days, eat good food and do as much day drinking as possible.
Had to surrender my green card which sucks but it's our own choice.

Godsdamit, sounds like a recipe for bikey time
Yes for the win, let me know when you get closer and we will make it happen.
Ride complete, first crash of the year also complete. I started the ride with 25PSI F/R, within a mile or so I let air out of both. After another another mile the rear tire was still too bouncy so I let some more air out... decided to let some out of the front as well but went too far. I rode another 4 or 5 miles with no problems, the T7 front tire inspires confidence so I pushed the downhill bits as fast as my skills allowed. I lost grip on a fast right turn with a nice berm, rolled the tire, pulled back too fast and layed it down with the front wheel in the air. Mild abrasions to my right forearm and a slight bump to my left shoulder. The Garmins clocked at 16mph when I lost it so it could have been worse.
I checked the pressures when I got back home 19 in the back and 14 up front so I may have burped it. Next ride I'm going with 20/22 and wont f@ck with anything while I'm riding.
