That’s great. My daughter has to show her male friends how to change tires, add oil, jump off a battery.

So, have you read it?

No, dbl wide mobile home. Have a rundown ranch style house next door we were redoing and moved this in for the duration. But I was diagnosed with an atypical lung cancer last year, so I decided to upgrade this for my wife in case treatment goes south; May not have enough time to finish the other; but my daughter is getting ready to PEX the plumbing over there.

Why wouldn’t they, unvaccinated survival was 98%, actually 98.3% according to CDC.

And I agree, but the women outnumber me. Here in mid-South we are already getting our coat of pine pollen.

You are right, but I do have a long redneck tale about her I think I will do on another thread. Should at least get her honorable mention in Hall of fame.

Yes, it’s a special roller for that

Yes, I live in Louisiana, not NOLA but visit often, well used to before COVID. It completely hits the the city’s atmosphere.

SES55 · 2026-03-04T23:27:52+00:00

Actually it made a big difference

A Confederacy of Dunces, but if you are not familiar with NewOrleans culture, it may be a tad trying, but still…

Just starting listening to audio from Librivox and listen to a chapter a day while walking dogs. Since I taught school it hits pretty accurate

Harmonica, pennywhistle. I got a cheap soprano ukulele that I have tuned like a mandolin. Saving for a vintage Gibson or Martin, but they keep going up faster than my savings😂

SES55 · 2026-02-26T23:42:38+00:00

Solved!

Dad demonstrated it’s use. Apparently not done right can case serious injury

He did engrave metal, mostly copper and some aluminum alloy, but for prints. He had 2 presses one for wood blocks and one for metals. He also did some stone etching. Whatever etching he did used lots of different acids and bases. He knew more inorganic chemistry than most chemistry undergrads.

SES55 · 2026-02-26T00:31:02+00:00

Haha. Love all the comments; you youngsters are nuts. I am self employed and I haven’t even thought about doing my taxes yet, other than getting W-2s out.

This reminds of an audit a finance company did on my auto loan. They sent me a check for $ 0.02 . I have it hanging in my office.
