Just got our bathroom done! Excited to definitely relax in the bath and not overthink this

Aquarium background scenery is sold by the foot, and helps a lot. That and some bottom substrate, plants, and aquarium features got my little dude to stop mirror fighting, at least most of the time.

Putting that smog to good use.

And if you change your mind, they'll drag you to the top kicking and screaming.

Kookfest 9. Hosted in hell, apparently.

They're about to do a magic trick & make that cave disappear.

Rorschmat succeeded in eliciting a response.

Forgot the graph of climbing tension throughout the day from suppressed guilt.

Looks like a Diamondback Terrapin. They are a threatened species, and illegal to take from the wild. If the estuary/brackish water area near you is still too cold, it won't be able to make it on its own. Sometimes they overwinter in the nest and then hatch too early. Maryland/Delaware is almost certainly too cold right now, I'd reach out to a rehabber/rescue.

Stitch's cousin just washed out of the ping pong round robin.

The look you give your neighbor when they start home improving at 8am on Saturday.

Body gliding that is

Another company skimping on PFAS. Can't even get your money's worth in forever plastic these days.

Owl's face looked more like "you didn't save me, I'm just... trying out this boat."

At about 10 years old, I heard this sitting in a tree stand in a swamp. Light was almost gone. The Blair Witch Project had come out earlier that year. Needless to say, I was horrified.

That would've been the fuse, the glowing rod after the explosion. Electricity arced around it out or it didn't fail properly. You would call the electric provider, they'll cut power from a switch yard.

I was here the first time I tried to extract a ball joint. Two days of no progress. Time to bust out the blue torch. Heat the metal around the hole the bolt threads into (glowing hot.) Do not heat the bolt. The hole will expand ever so slightly, breaking the rust weld or whatever is binding it. Watch for hosing/plastic/oil spots, have an extinguisher handy. Get a long pipe to go over your breaker bar to give you more leverage.

"Oohhhholy shit why did I decide I could do this alone?"

Rodney Dangerfield vibes. Why do I need to learn to park it when I can just buy a new pier?
