I haven’t seen a mouse, or evidence thereof, in a couple of years. I think word has gotten around about Stephen. BTW…It’s been around 4 years since he moved in. January 13, 2018.

How many people work there?

I think 10 total.

*Split between 2 stores, but generally only 2 work at the new place except for me on Saturdays.

I did not leave the property either. My wood shop is ten paces from my porch door, and the dogs and I walk the back 40 daily.

I spent a good deal of time rewiring that pole lamp. What should have been a ten minute job. But the pole was plugged up with something. I discovered it unscrewed into three pieces and that helped a lot. Got it all done and it didn't work. Figured it was the ancient switch so got a new one. Nope. Change the bulb. Nope. I found the cord in my electrical spare parts bin. Turns out both wires were fastened to the same pole. Wtf? Fixed that and all is hunky dory. But it badly needs a shade.

And I did some wood work in lieu of bike riding

If I may ask, what position did you leave, to come to this new one? If I may not ask, ignore the question.

I don't follow the NFL closely but the steelers were the local team when I grew up. Strange ****. I feel as confused as seeds. No offense meant.

i don't like leagues changing the game. For example, I've hated the DH in baseball since it began.

Tomlin is a good enough coach to take a terrible team and old broken QB and squeak into the playoffs because they don’t believe in rebuilding. What they do next year will be interesting.

I was a manufacturing engineer at an aerospace machine shop.

Now I'm a bike mechanic. Definitely happier now.

undisclosed work related matters. See the quote from A. Lincoln below.

Seen on redd it. The maker estimates a cost of $1 to print and ship, including needles. Pretty nifty.

Same here. Wasn't the headset. I think it was the pump, knocking on the top tube.

The 'hooty' brakes turned out to be WAY off center. Once I re-centered the calipers, the hoot went away. The noisy FD turned out to be noisy RD. Too much cable tension, but only just. I should have known from the hesitant shifting to the smallest 2 cogs. I did fix the front brake cable, though, so there's more than a butt hair between the pads and the rims at rest.

I can live with it. I also get no ads following me around. In fact I get no ads at all, including on YouTube. Imagine the internet with no ads. No ads and no passwords.
