he really just did a kickturn on the coping. weaksauce. it would have been much moar punk if there was a narly grind and a shower of sparks.
Gotta keep the bugs out of the pitot tubes.
Hangar duty. Today's theme is "short term storage". Feels like prepping a body for burial.
Just buy it, it is a great knife. I'd prefer the blade to be 1/2" shorter but I don't think I am letting it go anytime soon.
GodDAMMIT, you people. Take your shit to https://www.knifemonkey.com !
Don't crush on my blade boner, bro.GodDAMMIT, you people. Take your shit to https://www.knifemonkey.com !
Did I tell you guys Italian Barber released a new stainless steel version of the Hawk razor? There's three baseplates available. I just traded a Mongoose razor head I found in my razor case for one somebody didn't like. I have the two previous aluminum versions, they are pretty decent for the price. These are single edges that use the Artist Club blades.GodDAMMIT, you people. Take your shit to https://www.knifemonkey.com !
Final report submitted and out for approvals. 3+ years of work condensed into one document.
Ball joint replacement on the brodozer the other day went swimmingly, I'm sure you're all wondering. Took the top and doors off when it was close to 80deg out....of course now it's back in the 40s. That's what sweatshirts are for.
Going to spend the next week or so doing as little as possible (work wise of course). Might start building a set of stairs from the driveway to the front walk like we've wanted since we moved in. Could either finalize the plan, or just start digging and make it up as I go. YOLO, amirite?
Friday is the appointment where we find out the sex of #2, though only wife can go per hospital rules and me needing to watch #1. I suspect I won't get an honest relay of info from her. I am going to demand a ultrasound with dick or vajayjay circled and signed by a doctor.

fetishmonkey dot comIs this thread turning into another "expensive hobbies" parade?
Home ownership is still the most expensive hobby, ever.
I learned sourdough is super popular.Apparently someone has learned NOTHING from the-collective.
bloner?
Hello all. I spent a couple hours dicking around changing the monitor layout on this workstation temporarily installed in my office. It now has my own 27" 4K display (plus 3 more, because radiologist--if my desk was bigger it'd have 5 more!).
Said display is nice, even if stupid security policies keep my desktop on it unscaled and thus very high ppi.

Hello monkeys. Nothing planned for me today but I did make coffee. Blade bros reminded me I picked up a mid 60s case Cheyenne, untouched and in its original culturally insensitive box. Worth about $100.00 on teh webs so will sell for profit.

i see you are on track for the SS 3 Kids
Morning Monkeys.
So last week the new boss man said he gave homeboy a task to finish one test case a day. This is the guy who has done about 6 in the last 3 months.
He gave me 2 on Wednesday last week after our meeting on Tuesday. I was excited, but have gotten jack shit since. Ask the boss man how he felt things were going and it seems like one guy thought the other was doing it. So homeboys assistant said he will hopefully make up for some lost time today. WTF people. Good thing I am paid by the hour.

2 and done. At least from me.
Boss at New Job sent me an e-mail congratulating me and welcoming me aboard, and said he'll send me their onboarding and WFH plan in the next couple of days once they get all that hashed out, and I'm all like bruh your recruitment office still hasn't completed my background check and officially hired me yet, nor have I given notice at my current job.
Ahhhh... business as usual, then, in HR departments.
ride night tonight. It's cool, sunny and dry. my favourite riding weather. except I feel like chit. my sleeps have been very interrupted these past few days... I hope it gets better as soon as I hit the trail.
weighing my options for post-ride take-out. I think Ramen will be the ticket.

looks like i'm shopping for a new credit union
Sounds like story-time, Unka Kranked!

checking out with groceries, card declined
called and asked wtf
was told card had been closed because fraud flag (some online hack unrelated to my activity) and a new card had been sent beginning of april
i never received "new" card
they couldn't reopen my old card, which fine, ok
but when i asked to expedite ship me a new card was told they couldn't do that, which is BS and was last straw
they closed the last physical locations in our state a while back, only reason we hadn't changed sooner is because of the hassle of changing banks
it's one we get access through our employee benefits. it *used* to be super convenient as they had a branch located on my wife's office campus (it closed several years ago).
MA hunting and fishing license acquired. VT to follow. Time to see what, if anything, I can put in the freezer this year.
$550 this year! Although they did back out $100 in light of COVID-collapse and all.With a $450 annual fee?
No.
It actually makes financial sense if one dines out and travels sufficiently*, and for my household's spending its benefits pay for its fee and then some.
* namely, $300 annual travel credit, Global Entry fees reimbursed, Priority Pass provided (although DEN has no amenities now), DashPass gratis with $60 Doordash credit per year x 2 years, cheaper Lyft rates, and 3% points accrual on travel and restaurant spending / 1.5 cent per point redemption rate when those points are used towards booking travel via Chase's portal
yea none of that does anything for me. you probably make enough cash back on your kare pan habit that it pays for itself.
When I did the math a few years ago one would break even versus a no fee flat 2% cash back card at ~$7,500/year combined restaurant/travel spending due to that 3% x 1.5 cents/point deal. Anything over that favors the Sapphire Reserve.
all this because they wouldn't expedite ship me a replacement card. why?
The next year may be very light on travel, sure... but we all went to Hawaii in early March before the shit hit the fan + the requisite west coast trips earlier that year for family. Stimulating the economy isn't easy but it must be done.get the eff outta here with that pre-covid math
