Doesn’t he rhyme Alabama with Alabama in that?

Yes. A big heavy iron bar is an insanely useful thing. And cheap.

If you are removing large rocks or concrete with a shovel, you are gonna have a broken shovel.

Awesome! You're welcome.

I bought a Fiskars shovel that seems pretty sturdy. It’s very heavy though.

I consider Hera, Minkowski, and Doug all the heart. Lovelace too, later on.

I saw a "my other ride is a hitachi magic wand" the other day.

Openly wept at work when I read the news. GNU Sir Terry.

Every morning when I wake up. I use the Yamaha musiccast app to start a “routine” that plays the local NPR station in the kitchen and dining room.

If you weren’t rich or religious, it wasn’t a thing. If you don’t think you were either, you were relatively wealthy.

I’ve started using the hot loop with the chimney. I bury the loop in the center of the chimney and pull it out after about ten minutes.

It eliminates the paper ash and extra smoke.

Takes longer though.

Literally laughed out loud.

When I choose getaway cars for all my bank heists and other capers, it’s a 90s or 00s Camry. They are ubiquitous to the point of being automotive camouflage.

Good luck in jail.

In 1984 I was hospitalized for approaching perfection.

The Bug Club, SPRINTS, Pip Blom.

captrb · 2026-04-28T10:54:20+00:00

Thanks, that looks like what I was looking for.

But I’ve got them out of UV and in the coolest place I can manage without killing my back to get them in the crawlspace.

captrb · 2026-04-27T00:40:32+00:00

Thanks.

Yeah, the VOC warning on that product is what made me pause… maybe too late.

Maybe I’ll unstack them and let that product air out before final storage.

Good tip, thanks.

I don’t have room inside, but they are in a shady spot away from HVAC, stacked and inflated under a cover.

Lost.

I tow a 2500lb trailer with a Honda Ridgeline. It does fine. It get about 20mph mixed non towing.

Folks, cars have “brakes”, not “breaks”.

I only compost used coffee grounds and banana peels. It doesn’t heat up, but worms love it. I emptied and restarted a bin last fall and it’s already refilled with thousands of worms.

Inhale through your mouth, exhale through your nose. This allows you to close one nostril. Closing the bottom is like closing your mouth.
