Im on week 3 of a CBD experiment. Can't say i notice too much difference except spending an extra $25/week.
Chimney sweep finally showed up 48 hrs after original appointment time. Seems our chimney has no liner.
Really have enough open cans of worms right now. Don't need another.
:popcorn:

You get that roof fixed yet?

:popcorn:

I fucking hate home ownership. Do you hate home ownership yet?

maybe you'll get lucky and your linerless chimney will burn off your damaged roof and you can replace them both in one shot

They're not supposed to put that shit in the septic. Make sure they know to NOT do that.

That said - septic systems, generally speaking, are shitty.
Like they do what we tell them. :lmao:
the thermostat is taped up like fort fucking knox.

Just tell them IF they do send that shit down the drain, that you'll be "employing" them when the time comes to pop the top off the septic tank and have them dip that shit out with buckets. :homer:

Dude - get one of those smart ones that you can lock. Seriously. It'll be worth it in the long run...

F this week. Wife got put on a jury for the next two weeks. Kids have a shit ton of appointments that were scheduled during her usual off hours or pre-arranged with her work type agreement. Had to take a bunch of vacation time just to handle. I mean, I don't mind not being at work, but sick time is supposed to be for riding my bike when I don't feel like going to work.

lucky enough to see the first danzig tour where it was 1/3 misfits/samhain/danzig....also saw a danzig/soundgarden tour that wasn't that bad....
the one time i saw danzig during his solo career he was opening for metallica in a field in the middle of nowhere in southern new hampshire. probably 1994 or 95? he seemed super fucking grouchy then, as the brief popularity of "mother" was subsiding and he was starting to get fat and angry already.

annnnd.....i decided i should turn 50 in yosemite or that general vicinity next year....
 
oh, i forgot to mention. The transmission in my wife's subaru grenaded last week. I had to pick her up in the alfa. Mamma mia! that was a spicy meatball. She had to drive my car (for the first time) to get the kids. I was not the least bit chuffed by this turn of events...the pastawagen rescuing the nice japanese mom mobile
Subaru...

Tesla coming tomorrow to decide where/how to put two Powerwalls in shed... also interior window trim installation, and more paint, paint, paint.

Date went pretty well. House was clean and shiny thankfully. Shea laid down on my bed. She said she liked the way my pillow smelled. Weird? After she left I noticed my pillow was missing. I texted her if she knew what happened to my pillow. She texted back "Don't worry about it". Just not sure. Very weird.

Fending for myself because wife is away on a work trip, prep dinner stuff, turn my back while water is on to boil, turn around and dog is front legs up on the counter snarfing down my raw chicken...

DSO had stopped eating its own dinner as the raw chicken was obviously more appealing.

Man's best friend my arse.

Could I interest you in an engagement ring or would you like to skip straight to the divorce-mid life crisis band ?

Pretty sure I want my pillow back. I bought it at Sears. Along with the case. Comfort zone has been breached. A trip to Bed Bath and Beyond will not suffice. There is no way she could have know I have a replacement in my closet. In plastic. Waiting to be utilized.
