It's not that far fetched. Surgeons do us a medical grade type of superglue on some incisions.

I’ve had superglue used on a knive cut at urgent care!

I spent some time down there and I would say that people in Mississippi were nicer and more helpful. It felt more homely than Alabama.....

I worked in MS for a few weeks back in 2018. I liked it, really. Parts spoke to me. There's something there.

There's a reason Inuit have so many words for snow

Yeah, I bet the all loosely translate to "White Shit".

All kidding aside, we have a lot of ways to describe the snow we get. Even then it's still white shit.

Few photos for the day. I think this means it's time to shovel the roof.



When the sun went down, the moon was bright enough for a shadow selfie. This is the snow that still needs to come off the roof.


And when we quit for the night, we took a ride to the back of the property. It a few degrees below zero out there now. With maybe 36" of snow pack on the ground.


Did I mention I'm allergic to cold ...

True... we get less snow than you in a typical winter.
Gotta love when you've cleared and then the plow comes through

I live in Virginia now. Its crowded. While the county/state plows are pretty good at what they do, compared to Jersey and PA where it really does snow some. The local neighborhood stuff is the same dudes that cut the grass and blow leaves all over. I live at the end of a cul-de-sac. They have left 6 foot piles blocking multiple driveways and drive away if you ask when you will be able to leave your home. One year we called 911 and asked what will the ambulance do if it cannot get to our property. They could not answer. Persistent we called a few more times and when they finally offered a legal threat we threatened "bring it" held the phone away and yelled a little louder "bring it". Eventually a cruiser did show up. Left before speaking to anyone and a bobcat front loader showed up. I hope to never have to go through that again. I was new at my job, 2013 and got a week off work. I refused to ride the bus.
I still dig out all 3 fire hydrants on my block and the mailboxes I use. Neighbors and good friends too.

Awesomeness!

 

[PersonalFavors]

I remember when you as a kid shoveling the entire walk which was right next to the road.

Totally covered up the whole sidewalk with wet, heavy snow!

I hated that when I lived in NJ. I was already in my 30's. I simply could not believe wet mushy snow could be a solid. Took forever to figure out how to move it without hurting myself.
Now I like snow. But when we get it it usually melts the next day.

Awesomeness!

The driver/owner's name would make a great Lit alt (sockpuppet) name.

G'night all... I'm going to try to get a nap before I get to the rig....
Have a great evening!

I missed the elusive Lili by a couple of hours. No

Good morning early risers and late night dwellers of the diner. I hope you had a good sleep. I spent some time last night looking at and laughing about pictures my mother saved. I am going to take to my sister so we can both have a good laugh.

I am a big fan of the ads of Super Bowl especially the horses.

I love those Clydesdales!

There's a tag on the side of the pump. Most is 10% ethanol any more. Think about it - ethanol and gasoline really don't mix, and ethanol attracts water. You have a boat. Maybe boat gas doesn't have ethanol in it - it shouldn't. You're a Comely wench, so ask the dumb guy standing there what's what. He'll fall all over himself telling you.


But seriously, read the tags on the pump, too.

I will! I never thought about gas. It is just something that makes stuff go. I think we do use regular gas in the boat. It has an outboard motor. IDK if that makes any difference.

Yep.... everyone was soooo nice there...

Ah retirement. I think I stay up so late lately because I can't decide whats for dinner until now. 8:30 on the east coast.

Nope.. me qnd lilianna outflanked you and captured (lured) away your troops

 

[Lilianna23]

So to all you tech people what is the benefit to a 256 vs 512 (gig?) Phone.... I can't remember what they are called. The price isn't that much different

Get the 512. It's the amount of memory available to store photos, videos, and other files. Do this especially if your phone doesn't have an SD card slot.

 

[Lilianna23]

I dont take a lot of pics.... but do download docs from my 3 different jobs

Girl! What are you doing with 3 jobs?!?!? Don't you know all work and no play makes our Special K a tired girl??

I love those Clydesdales!

We went to a festival and they were there
Actually got to pet them

I call it "pusholine."

I bought gas this afternoon and took a picture of the pump to show you. There are three pumps nozzles. The one on the right is the 3-4 blends of "standard" gasoline, which is usually 10% ethanol these days. The green one on the far left is some concoction called Auto-Diesel. Think "diesel" and disregard it. Not for you. The second one in from the left is blue and says it's ethanol free. More expensive, but since you're only buying for small engines, price isn't an issue.


Wat: Thinking only of others . . . .

For those that want to geek out on gas this morning…If It seems like I’m latched onto this subject like a chihuahua on meth, it’s because I filled the wife’s car up last night and saw this Unleaded 88…never heard of it, but it was .30c cheaper than than the 87 Octane at the pump! So I went home and did some research on it.

I’ll let Scotty K explain it. WARNING…if you get flicker vertigo, don’t watch Scotty’s hands! He’s full of info but hard to watch!

"Chihuahua on meth!"

I worked in and old factory building for a few years. I don't know the correct names for it but there was a power shaft that ran down the center of the building and there were drive belts between it and equipment that needed power. There were also some old drawings that were done in ink.

And they probably used giant hit or miss motors to power it, or water, or maybe even a steam engine. Some of those factory’s were amazing how they could repurpose and reconfigure all the tools and machines.

Last week's delivery outfit fucked it up and then asked for "feedback." I wrote:


It said on the label "put package in box on porch." The package was left at the edge of the porch where any porch pirate could easily see and steal the fucking thing. It's this failure to follow simple fucking instructions which gives me no hope for humanity.


How likely am I to recommend them?


What day is Hell freezing???

 

[Wonderer67]

After working crazy hours my whole life, and driving through crowded roads commuting into London for 35 years, I am SO glad I'm retired.

I said goodbye to a toxic job, then set about cleansing all the toxic people from my life.

I am super fit and playing more sport than ever before, and my wife and I are spending more time together than ever before (in and out of the bedroom)...

Sounds like a good and healthy continuation of things and boundaries.

Done for the day, so off to sleep.
