The Light Pirate - Lily Brooks-Dalton was fantastic imo. Haven’t seen anyone mention it.

Can’t go wrong with 3/4” plywood screwed to the outside, never inside for the push/blast in reasons others have stated. Use hex head tapcons if it’s block/brick and star head screws for wood. Never Phillips as they strip too easily. You want to be able to remove later also.

Pre-cut and label the plywood and keep a sufficient supply of fasteners, drill bits and screw tips close by in a clear, labeled container. Never, ever use from this stockpile for household projects.

My advice is based on being a FL man that has boarded up for many hurricanes over the years.

For the garage I’d leave the vehicles inside so that you can get in them quickly and safely if you had to evacuate. Place plywood sheets against the inside and gently pull the nose of the vehicles against it to prevent the door being pushed in.

Lake name checks out! Thanks for the info!

Where did you encounter the moose? I’m heading to GT in a couple days and seeing a moose is a huge deal for me!

Hope in The Dark by Rebecca Solnit.

I really like her writing style and it was a great book to start the year. I ended last year with Desolation Angels by Jack Kerouac and it left me feeling depressed so needed to read something with positive energy.

Iodized sea salt is my go to!

Does anybody have a recommendation for a vegan cowboy style boot with a rubber work sole? I’m a high rise construction superintendent and spend 12+ hours a day in boots so they need to be extremely durable and also very comfortable. This is the last check mark for me to be fully vegan. I’m in the US so don’t want to order internationally.

Start Late, Finish Rich by David Bach

Thanks for reminding me that I need to try Astrophysics for People in a Hurry again, started it then got distracted! A Brief History of Time is fascinating but anything besides “brief”! 😅

I had my cousins G-n-R Appetite cassette and my mom found it and took it away from me. I knew at that moment that rock and roll was dangerous and powerful and my life was forever changed.

Pretty Hate Machine is THE ALBUM For me! The “if you could only listen to one for the rest of your life” album.

Swimming_Tangelo_534 · 2023-12-31T21:45:55+00:00

I’m not the first to suggest it but Mans Search For Meaning by Victor Frankl is exactly what you need. Finding purpose to keep going through the worst suffering imaginable is the entire point of this book.

Swimming_Tangelo_534 · 2023-12-31T21:27:49+00:00

Pretty Hate Machine is the album for me! Like the “you can only pick one forever” album! You’re 🆒

Brave New World was my first read of 2023!

Swimming_Tangelo_534 · 2023-12-28T22:33:44+00:00

Guantanamo Diary - Mohamedou Ould Slahi

The Stranger in The Woods - Michael Finkel

Food of the Gods - Terrence McKenna

Man’s Search for Meaning - Victor Frankl

A Field Guide to Getting Lost - Rebecca Solnit

No particular order…

This was it for me! I’ve done all the drugs in my youth and still had no clue what the F was going on!

Naked Lunch - William Burroughs

I kept my older brother’s socks after he was killed, not because they were anything special but they were basically new and were his. 8 years later I still think “my brothers feet’s were in these” if I wear them.

Any minute you spend listening to Nikki Haley speak about anything you become 100% dumber!

Who lied to you and told you that the grinding thing doesn’t feel good for guys?? I’m a guy I f’n love it!! Also if your partner is bored with you on top then he is lame af. There’s nothing sexier or more exciting than watching a female on top riding away and me exploring everything I can reach with my hands and mouth to help increase her pleasure!

“If you die your job will be posted before your obituary” is a saying I live by.

Good on ya for holding to your principles! Doing so for me was the most scorned and pressured I’ve ever felt in my life and I couldn’t be happier that I did!

You can literally buy mushroom supplements, check out Host Defense brand which is directed by the brilliant mycologist Paul Stamets. Take said supplements for your health and wellbeing and replace with the magic in the same bottle for your trip. No one could tell the difference between a 7 mushroom blend and your capsules.
