What did you accomplish today?

[too larry]

I did my bi-weekly town run. Not great pickings at the thrift stores, and I started pretty early, so I got home with time to kill before work. I had picked up a rotisserie chicken and was making a sandwich when the wife got back from her lunch date. She sat with me while I ate. I could tell she was upset, and just naturally assumed I had done something to piss her off. So when she told me her new 700 dollar laptop was busted at the hinge, I was relieved. {at least for a second] We are just starting to work our way through the red tape, but HP support told us the one year warranty started in 2016 and ended in 2017. She bought it off of Amazon in December 2018.

That sucks.

Although I did buy a pair of 100% lamb's wool slacks, even though they are a hair too tight right now. They will be my go to winter hiking pant as soon as I loose 5 or 10 pounds. {It was BOGO, so a buck . I can take a rider at those prices}

And another of the Tommy Bahama silk pants. These were 90/10 silk to cotton. Some one must have died or lost/gained a lot of weight. That is 4-5 pairs I've bought. And a Red Camel long sleeve shirt

That sucks.

It will be a pain in the ass, but she will get it fixed or a new one. It's 3 months old. She did say she might have opened it when it was under the edge of the counter and it's been getting a little worse all along. So it might not be a defect, but an accident. I know from now on, we're buying the extended warranty.

This really needs to go in my bushcraft thread, but my most exciting find of the day wasn't at a thrift store, but here at work. My customer tonight had got a Box of Joe from DD. It's a bladder of coffee in a cardboard box. Bushcrafters have been using them for years as water bladders. And hikers use them as pee jugs. The drawback of Poweraide or other sports drink bottles as a pee jug is they always take up the same amount of space, whether they are being used or not. Plus you always keep you pee jug on the outside of your pack, and everyone knows it's a pee jug. With a bladder you can roll them up when not in use. More discreet.

Anyway when the lady was getting ready to go, I asked her to save me the bladder and bring it the next time she came. She gave it to me, with only two cups gone out of it. {I'm a couple three cups in now, and I'm a decaf guy, so I'm buzzing from more than the Ass Cheese}

Did some much needed defoliation. As I am out of weed and my brother messed up my connection by sleeping with his GF, I'm smoking the sugar leaves I cut off. It's Bodega Bubblegum. Should just call it Lemon Starburst, that's what they all smell like. LOUD. Glad my carbon filters are still working. I haven't used them in a year, but they still work. I had to shut down for awhile. But, it worked out. I found some American seedbanks in the meantime. Sure, there may be good dutch strains, but I didn't get any of them.

Made a new account. + Rep to anyone that can hack my original account and tell me the password. All the OG's remember the +rep system? Should've kept that.
Brought dad to the hospital to get the cast off his broken arm...
Chicken noodle soup, beer. And repeat.
Record snow, waiting for spring to kick in. Still seeing below zero temps.

I liked the old +rep system.

Yeah, it gave one skin in the game

My son is turning 18 and I can't fucking believe it. I recently looked at my divorce papers and realized that the judge did not put a termination date on the original paperwork, so I'd have to go back to court in order to have the child support stopped. I had to go talk to his mom to see if she would come into court and not contest my motion, I even offered her $500 cash just for the hour of her time. At first I was elated as she agreed, but the day after she texted me that she wouldn't come, but wouldn't contest it, either. I knew the court would want to hear it from her mouth, and likely not let me stop paying until they received some sort of confirmation that she wasn't contesting it. I should have filed this weeks ago. I started writing the motion last night with the intent of going in to file tomorrow (I have a video recording session scheduled tonight to get some good footage of me playing music to put on my new website). Lo and behold, I get a letter from child support services that my support order would end automatically on my son's birthday (just weeks away). Holy Shit! My procrastination wins again! I don't have to deal with his dizzy mom any longer, and I'm going to have an extra $750 per month in my pocket. Fuck yes. Especially good news since our new governor is going to legalize rec weed this year, so my income will drop by about 33% from my black market lifestyle. Still will be a pretty good income, but not the super comfortable six figures I'm used to. Which is one of the reasons I'm starting my own music business to supplement. Man, do times change...

You could always make a better son. You have seven fiddy child grand money now.

6 more inches of snow last night and it's still coming down. So far we're at 60 inches of snow for this month alone. Starting to run out of places to put it.

 

[raratt]

4.14 inches of rain since Mon afternoon and still raining. We might get to see the sun by Friday, then more rain Sat. We need a break from this to let the streams return to normal. Have to go the long way around to go grocery shopping today.

I accomplished persuading a house bound puppy (due to the rain) to calm down long enough for me to take a nap. She was going off the deep end today.

We adopted a pit and a bull dog. Both 3 months old now. I've started training but they are still a hand full. Little fuckers already ruined a $1200 couch.

I love them though. I've already started the early defense and attack training for the pit. She will attack on command when I'm done.

I haven't even started housebreaking our pug, too cold and too much snow. When I put him out he balls up and cries. Piss and shit everywhere in the house. Puppy pads haven't been working.

Only on your command or family included? By hand gesture? By a specific phrase or as simple as "kill"?

Roxy has been doing pretty good with house training. Obviously there are some leftover animal smells in our bedroom carpet because she has used it twice. We just close the door and keep her out most of the time. She doesn't like rain, but sucks it up mostly.

Sounds like a good reason to add a flamethrower to the collection.

Don't defoliate. It hurts yield.

Have the will power to not cut on your plants. That way when you get the best yield you can it will last longer.

Rubbing thier nose in it and then putting them on the pad eventually gets the point across.

We did have pads everywhere. I feed them a schedule and take them outside later. They are pretty much house broke. I keep one pad next to the door just in case they have an accident.

They are cutting teeth and want to chew on everything.
