With all the odd shit you watch, I’m surprised that you have not seen any/enough Monty Python to understand the reference.

I’ll try to track down a clip of one of them.

My odd film watching is mostly confined to certain genres. Mostly.

Oh! That was worth the watch!

And, may I say, the height of sophistication compared to the scene described from Reptilicus.

Yes! I have been setting intentions and reconnecting with nature in my environment this last couple of weeks. Normally I'm not a huge fan of spring. Seeing how it precedes summer. But this year's associated project are going to bloom. I can feel it.

If the weather is nice I might do a little midnight dancing.

Since we seem to be back to discussing the moon, can we talk about putting dedicated laboratories for genetic manipulation and virology work in the bedrock? At least BSL-4 lab work.

It's crazy that work is done in communities, where a few wrong moves risks populace exposure.

Nope. A little virus spill onto some moon dust is the exact way we get some kind of B-movie style Moon Monster attack.

Too risky.

Maybe we can try just not doing those tests.

Sure.

A monster attack that would be confined.

To the moon!!!

Maybe we can try just not doing those tests.

Umm, sure. That's going to happen. *pats you on head*

 

[hotwords229_A]

Sure.

A monster attack that would be confined.

To the moon!!!

Obviously these Monsters travel through reflected light.
You must be embarrassed that I had to even point that out to you.

So embarrassed. So, so, so embarrassed.

Considering all the truly awful movies that have already been made, if you wrote a screenplay for this, I’m sure it’d be picked up.

I'd watch! Sounds right up my alley.

Better hop to, Muscles.

It's interesting how most of the articles an the Artemis Accords focus on international cooperation and planetary benefit but gloss over how establishing national ascendency is a necessary strategy as far as geopolitical space dominance as well as a race to exploit lunar resources.

 

[Endless_Night]

And since we're talking about tech - because we are, aren't we? - let me say wheeeeeeee to the University of Texas Protohub and resultant funding for an H1 fueling station network in Texas.

Yeah, I know. I couldn't figure out how to superscript on my laptop

 

[Endless_Night]

Today I work on more property sculpting. This whole create a closed system, ecologically sound, garden, retro yet luxury living oasis is an awfully sweaty business.

 

[Endless_Night]

Oh, and also putting in a couple of hours on the back gate area. I can't remember if I've talked about this before, but the farm is sandwiched between two roads. There are gates on both sides, but one is not a proper entrance, and time and plant growth have made getting through the dilapidated gate tricky at best.

The stretch between road and fence line is a mess. The county(?) mows along the side of the road, but it's still a hazard of poison ivy, trash, crazy overgrowth, and dropped branches.

I've been working on it for a while now, with a view to reclaiming the entrance, and have reached the point where it's all about the clearing. So, so, so much clearing. *thunk*

I've moved to just working on it a couple of hours a week. Otherwise, it's just too overwhelming to think about, much less work on.

Could I pay someone to do the work? Sure, but I highly object to paying people to do things that I am capable of doing myself. Especially as the are likely to clear indiscriminately, be wildly expensive, and leave me unhappy with the job done.

Stupid people.

(Yes. It's all about those other people. )

Ugh. Okay. I'm going to quit slacking and go to work.

Are you going to put in a water feature?

 

[Endless_Night]

Are you going to put in a water feature?

There is already a small pond, with - when it rains - an occasional stream, so probably not. I'm wanting. Too, water features, or, at least what aI think of as water feature, tend towards looking contrived, or breaks up the seamless flow.

I really want the seamless flow.

 

[Apisto42]

I really want the seamless flow.

Don’t we all.

It is amazing how many types of mud there are associated with sheetrock.

(Guess who's been doing some reading. Rhetorical. )

 

[Endless_Night]

I'm reading a book call The False Inspector Dew.

It's something I picked up after seeing a review on unusual mystery novels. This was written in the early 80s and has certainly been unusual so far. It is vaguely reminiscent of P. G. Wodehouse in style.

The famine heroine, if I can call her that, started off on the first page comparing herself to one of the heroines in one of her favorite tragic romances (Moths)

"She, too, was quite unconscious of her own great beauty"

This sentence just all kinds of cracks me up.

I haven’t watched this yet, but I like this guy he has great info and it’s about drywall, so I’m linking it here.

Thank you very much! I'm working up my nerve to do the dining room.

 

[Apisto42]

Thank you very much! I'm working up my nerve to do the dining room.

If you’re doing the whole wall it’s easier than patching. That way you have nice clean lines to mud over.

Take your time, plenty of sanding, smoothing, and remember, you can always sand all the mud away and start over.

Get a good mask/ventilator.
