My wife came home and told me she broke a measuring cup earlier in the week. Thus completing the tri-fecta.

I’ve decided next time I wax to throw in an old plastic bottle into the mix. The plastic will melt and add an extra layer of protection. I’ll make sure to do it in an unventilated area to preserve the particles for later use.

I got blood on both hands from that one. I took a chance and used some of the oats anyway. I was barefoot, and made my way to my way to my Wellies for the cleanup operation. I felt a light crunch during bowl #1, and spit it out. There is a little bit left in the pan, for seconds, in case I want more. Thankfully, a cast iron skillet is not a threat to break and bloody me yet more.

i walked out of my office a few days ago (in the financial district) and was about to step into the street on a completely green light with walk signal when a woman in a beat up old white civic blasted through the intersection perpendicular to me. the light wasn’t even freshly green my way! and lights in the city last about 20 seconds each way, she’s hardly saving a lot of time.
/rant off
gotta make it out for a ride tomorrow!! new chain day.

Just finished watching Stage 8. What jumped out at me was the dearth of fans in all those towns they went through. I didn't expect that.

Changed engine air filter on one car and got a cabin air filter* for the other. will install later since its been 13 months and 11,000 miles and still looks as clean as my colon. I'm storing it in the glove box so I can't miss it. **** big oil change. I saved $30 by doing it myself.
I wish I could find an independent shop but they don't exist around here. My dad had an auto repair shop which he started in August 1960 and my older brother is now running it. Independent shops are dinosaurs which is sad.
