  1. LFG! Concrete saw. Okay, it was like 42 at the ranch, but probably a balmy 58 in the hole. It was wet. Dirty. Dusty. I wore eye protection (over my glasses), hearing protection, and a dist mask. I couldn't see shit. It kinda worked. But to be honest, just pecking away with the smaller hammer drill was seemingly just as effective and a lot less wet. I got out 5 buckets. Meh. I did tidy up my little filled in drainage and drove my maverick across it, so that was cool.
  2. I hope to have an update Friday! I'd been working on some amateurish road work (to go with me amateurish hold digging). But I got something that I hope helps push deeper.
  3. Any time I see a runner out there I think "good on you." And when I see an old or fatty out there, it goes triple. Even just walking - my mom spent more than a year is assisted living - good gawd walking and mobility makes all the difference. Keep it up. Dont sweat the times, think about doing it every week so you can do it years down the road. Im 46 and don't run all that much anymore. A 5k slow grind os fine by me. But I have gotten into the rucking fad. I haul 30lb now. Used to be sand in watter bottles, but I got myself a wild gym feather (it has hip pads if I want to do more like backpacking). Boy and I signed up for Philnont next summer.
  4. My new thing is pro-SROs. My brother in undiagnosed mentally ill, living on the streets (in a car). I cant afford to rent him an apartment. But if a SRO were maybe $500/mo he wouldn't be on the street. And that, I believe, is better for everyone. Nobody wants an SRO around them - and I get that. So out it in some industrial zone with a bus stop.
  5. my employer doesn't pay well. We have gone to 3 days in office, 2 at home. As a manager the only benefit is that I can take away WFH for low performers. That's a handy tool to push out marginal folks. But in the long run my organization - like every organization - competes for talent in the free market. Salary and non-monetery benefits (like telecommuting) make up the compensation mix. We will either have to pay market rates, or offer flexibility. Offering neither is a dead end.
  6. anybody have a cz 600 trail? Kinda want to get one in 7.62x39. I really want a scout 7.62x39, or at least something with function iron sights. But thats simply not a product on the market in 2025.
  7. I like the delta 8, puts me to bed for 8.5 hours within 30 minutes every time. I
  8. means a 80:1 ratio if anyone wants to trade silver for gold
  9. Damn right. And I hear dem Jayhawk hand-dug wells ain't exactly straight
  10. if you french fry when you should've pizza'd, you're going to have a bad time.
  11. So the rich kids got special favors. Call me shocked.
  12. I cant believe I am the dickhead who has to ask: So.... did the fire melt steel?
  13. I am into this. What do I search for on the real estate sites? I want to sit on a pile of invested equity and rent or own a place with such good paid flr maintenance that when I die it's 18 months before anybody notices my dessicated corpse.
  14. engines falling off are uncommon in part because the temporal wormholes they cause.
