Timmah!

***you're***

...saw some Venison on the way home...picked-up a large bacon at a local joint.

Sparklers. From last year.

Yes please. Fresh-made by someone you know, at a fair price. Easily saved $20.00. Love my chest freezer.

...and it's the best-selling truck in the United States over the past 40 years or so... moreover, it's the best selling vehicle, period over the past 40 years. Either that's high praise for the price point value, or an indictment of American sensibility. (you see why I'm paving the road to hell with good intentions; when it's my week to mark & cut, that 100+ F heat in that closed-circuit respirator takes it out of you...even at the spry age of 50. I've got 1/2 a terabyte of pics & video accumulated over the past 2 years.) Now that it's my week to rotate to the AIR-CONDIt0NED measuring room, I might be able to toss-out the occasional dogging video. https://youtu.be/AULOC--qUOI?t=31

Simple, quick, easy. Especially after a long day. I cook my yard bird to an internal temp. of 140F - 155F max, depending on it final destination: Chicken salad...145F... served hot... 140-145F depending again on what I'm making... Interestingly, during my readings, I've found Auguste Escoffier appeals best to my sensibility of keeping it simple. A few ingredients done reasonably well; each clearly enjoyed, not crowded-out in a profusion.

Happy Birthday!

One of my income sources is inspecting weld quality of various Ford truck frames at a facility that manufactures them from rolls of steel coil. They taught me how to weld, then placed me in the department whose sole job is to take them apart. Which can be tricky depending on the weld & it's location within the frame. Which involves finding, marking, cutting... then grinding + polishing the weld to prep it for measurement & evaluation of its various features. I like measuring. It's air-conditioned. Cutting with the plasma torch in this fucking heat... not so much. Fat boi becoming slim Tim; literally melting the pounds off of me.

Good times!

Heynow!!...you're an Idi0t!

Unreal control, precision, range from chest through mix, head all the way to whistle register. A master of his chosen pursuit in a universe unto himself. The lyrics are cool, too; reminds me of an anime narration. This performance is from about 5 years ago & his body of work to-date is astounding. Privilege to witness.

I agree. Heard good things about him. =P

Congratulations! Also: **role**

I use a few to catch the couple Bluegills need to catch catfish. I've ordered some European Nightcrawlers to set-up another bin, because overs the years & decades they've caught the most fish of any worm offered.

This is the last feeding before setting a new bin on top of the current one. They will then transition to the new bin in which I will set bedding & food. First I grab some of the shredded cardboard (which they love to hang-out in between the layers, inside the corrugation) I simply keep it in a trash bag & grab some when needed: Then I soak it in a bucket of tap water that's been allowed to sit for 24 hours, so that the Chlorine evaporates (don't want chlorinated water in the bin...kills the microbes that decompose the fruits & veggies) The worms actually feed on these aerobic decomposing microbes, not the fruits & veggies directly. So it's actually an aerobic decomposing bacteria farm. After soaking for a short while, I squeeze out the excess moisture from the carboard as I add it to the bin. You can see from this scoop that there is nothing left but wonderful worm castings, as the bacteria have completely decomposed the bedding & organics since the last feeding: The population has really exploded in the months since I purchased the initial pound of worms to start. They double in population every 60 days & there's easily 4 pounds of worms in the bin now. Every scoop is teeming with the little guys. I mix the chopped food & bedding with some of the castings to inoculate the mix with the decomposing microbes, facilitating the process: I then fluff it up to allow the oxygen the microbes need & the worms easier access. The microbes are aerobic & produce a loamy smell like you find in the woods under the leaf litter. With the lid on, you couldn't guess what's in the bin, even if you put yer snoot right next to it. It is then topped-off with a light layer of more damp shredded cardboard to allow the worms freedom of movement in, over & around the full volume of their new bedding & food. Lastly, I soak a whole piece of cardboard to then lay on top, keeping the bin moist & providing the darkness the little guys like: (I keep water in my tub to help maintain humidity in this dry apartment.) The worm casting provide an unequaled amendment to my garden soil, packed with beneficial nutrients, bacteria, fungi & enable me to recycle food that otherwise would go to waste...and recycle cardboard. All for free. That banana which woulda been thrown-out now comes back as a tasty tomato!

Heynow!

Don't be hatin'. ...even converted & imported X-models from Delta Force and Battlefield series. Of course, had to then skin them so they had player collision. Also had a program to convert 2D images to Grayscale and then to terrain.

It's a time sink, a rabbit hole, if you let it be. When I was seriously into it, the mapping & modding had me immersed for many a late hour for months on end.

...some Arctic Jade. Such a handsome specimen. (you can see the diamond saw track at bottom of the piece.) I keep pieces around the house, they make me happy and have their utilitarian values, too. Use a brick of California Jade for a burger press. No harm, no foul.

Happy Birthday!

Better get to working that corner; grab a squeegee & multi-task. Keep some chocolate in yer pocket.

I'm off this Sunday, since my overtime- on that day, at least- was cancelled. Will find the videos I took of fishing & cobble them together. They go back to last Autumn.
