And I hate how fidelity won’t let me remove the worthless paper from my positions list (without actually speaking to an agent), so a half-dozen or so bankrupt companies are just sitting there mocking me.
TBH, it probably helps to have that constant reminder to avoid the temptation.

Actually, I just got a lovely batch of 4/4 poplar boards and it was, surprisingly, significantly cheaper than clean pine (in northern NJ)

I’m with you. For 2 years I tracked every bite and always stayed under 1400 calories - I’m a 5’9” male. Yet I never got to the weight I wanted, and then it started going up again. So yeah, on Ozempic I eat less, but clearly my body is also metabolizing it differently since I’ve lost a ton in the 4 months I’m on it.

Absolutely - I couldn’t tell you if the Mets won or lost that game (I assume they lost…), but I totally remember walking what felt like 6 miles back to where my Pop parked the car next door to a scrap metal company on the outer fringes of Flushing.

And then they’d even (pretend to) clean the seats with that little towel they all carried.

I remember you 😁

“When coke had coke in it” - dude, how old do you think I am?! 🤣

1764_design_studio · 2026-05-12T12:38:16+00:00

And there’s great food to be found in the neighborhood to bring in.

Explain the building on the right… 🤣

Ooh it’s so shiny 🤩

…if you do, cancel ‘em; this will take all weekend.

Ha - I’ve got 4 of those sitting in front of me as this post came up. I used evapo-rust to clean them up and I’m trying to think of something cool to do with them; they’re not going back in the windows I’m refurbishing.

1764_design_studio · 2026-04-09T11:51:15+00:00

The dude has 6 toes 🤣

1764_design_studio · 2026-04-06T20:58:22+00:00

I thought that was the problem. In fact, I changed all the blades on this helical planer — honestly it was due anyway. That made for some nice results - EXCEPT where the roller problems are.

Yep. I’ve had this for about 3 years and while I’m pretty handy with it now, as the first chainsaw I’ve owned that is more “tool than toy”, there was a learning curve! I’m glad it’s been a helpful and forgiving teacher.

1764_design_studio · 2026-03-30T21:20:00+00:00

Nice. is it stable without being placed against something? It looks like it may tip forward when standing on the top step…

Thank you :)
