- Start date
Last night I was looking at jobs to apply for because mine is getting very sucky.
Today shit got weird, it was hot as balls, 'twas 41C in the workshop so I decided to go home early then hear a "BOOM" as I'm packing up. Turns out some sort of electrical issue in the overhead lines decided to start a fire next to the workshop. My brain went "Fuck it, your tools aren't insured, you better ring the fire brigade." Our fire hose was long enough that I could hit some of the fire, so that was fun.
The Fire brigade as there in 10 mins, they sent loads of trucks from different station which I feel a bit guilty about but shit could have gone bad pretty quickly, there's a company that sells astroturf next to us, a CAT parts dealer next to them and a bunch of houses back on to the bush maybe 100m from all of us.

Going to run some more trim today if my newly crippled left hand allows. My middle finger feels all arthritis-y. Probably from emoting too much.
I like how if you go to the skatepark these days the girls are doing kickflips and shit. Back in my day it was a bunch of sluts smoking cigarettes.
i like how there are actually skateparks these days...
happy imaginary day everyone
Apparently Wild Blueberry Sausage links do not invoke gang association. Expecting UPS delivery of drivetrain / braksets this afternoon. Thought I was one of tham 'Brown Sugar Bliss Boyz' - I coulda been a contender!
Why do you feel bad about them sending trucks? Thats their job and better to have backup and not need it, than to need it and not have it.
You should drive over here and ride some bullshit Midwest trails.
day 1.5 back in the midwest, good lord people can drink. I'm out of my league.
My grandpa would have been 24 leap years old today. Never knew if we should celebrate on the 28th or 1st.
Cold, but looking to be a very nice day. Procuring new light grommets for my trailer project.
Hey man lmfao. 8 mile hilly run done early, then I took the dog to the vet for her annual exam and shots. "She needs these 75 shots so we're going to give them to her." Yeah whatever $630 later.
Looks perfect to me.
Tangentially related: It’s interesting to me that the sounds humans make to impersonate animals varies by country.
What shots does a dog need annually?
if you don't mind, what's your BP untreated? mine was up to 180/120!
Morning Monkeys.
Day 2, I've decided to weigh once a week, so shall see how far next Tuesday. But not too sore from last night, so that's encouraging. It's good to have a focus other than the pay cut and possible job change situation, that shit is really old.
My wife was giving me grief last night because there is a distinct pattern in my work history. It seems every start up I've gone to work for has run out of money about a year later (except 1). I told her it's the nature of start ups, not all of them are the next Apple. She clearly thinks it's me.

Garbage day, trash everywhere due to dumb ass people putting their trash cans out overnight during 65mph winds. I picked up the neighbors trash and recycling and put it all in his boat for him. Doubt he will even notice.
Wind and rain has been intense, cant imagine the fun they are having over 2k feet right meow
In other news,
debating on the new Stihl MSA 300 battery chainsaw

I'm sure @Toshi will tell his dad now that you've shared with the monkey...
Another day of marginal work. I found me a local Al Mar collection where the collector had passed away and his wife was moving it all along... couldn't pass it up! Anyone need some 30 yr old Japanese pocket knives?
I'm still sore from pruning apple trees and will probably start on some pear trees today. And the good times were had by all.
Yeah brother, right about there myself...if you don't mind, what's your BP untreated? mine was up to 180/120!
When you first started meds, about how long did they take to start bringing your BP down? And what were/are they? I'm on some combo thing... labetalol and hydrochlorothiazide I think?
EDIT: Losartan And Hydrochlorothiazide

I wish I was up on the hill already, being down here in a rental in the middle of town is testing my patience
That guy is a pussy, I'll eat my whole chicken while he's trying to get the box open
