I hit a new plateau of old today... I started mentally keeping the tally of exactly how many people in my bloodline who were older than me are still alive. And I don't have to get off one hand to count them all.

I hear there's always money in the banana stand.....

Bring without power for the majority of last week, as I mentioned, led me to dive deep down a rabbit hole planning for the country house we're going to build, including all the power backup , solar generation, etc options. One of those that I will be employing is a technologically advanced...

I have one of those around somewhere, actually I think I have two. Just last week it was a "Doesn't matter, plug it in since you know the generator should cover 4 basic appliances" heh

We've been blessed with pets that make good long runs. Churla - Dog - died of old age at almost 21 Pooh - cat - died of cancer at 17 Bailey - dog - died of mass on her pancreas that threw her into unexpected diabetic shock at 13 Lacy - died from complication of spinal degeneration (long haired...

This is Bordeaux... 15 year old random stuff mix breed. Adopted from shelter by @Mrs. Haus and I when she was around 8 months old. Spoilering the part you may or may not want to read...

I was given a 79 Monte Carlo as a hand my down when my grandfather bought my grandmother a new ride. It survived almost 2 years before my overly adventurous driving style outdid it's durability.... But by that point at least I build resistance to my own stupid impulses that my second car...

NEVER get an even remotely good looking or new car for a kids first car. I thought that was basic enough rule 1 type shit that this video would be the norm, not on twitter. ;) In my family the assumption is that they will ALWAYS total their first car, usually within a year. I think as long as...

So.... In Texas you can get a title along with your name on your drivers license. I have to go in and get mine this year because it's been so long they want a new photo anyways. I have three possible titles I could use, two from the lovely folks at the Universal Life Church of Modesto...

NGL , those look like they'd be basic prints. If you end up needing more drop me a line, those have to be on an STL site somewhere. I know all my Ryobi brackets (which I printed for myself) were....

I find it adorable that the US thinks it will have a long term or really any significant way to stop countries like China from acquiring chips to do AI with... Especially since all China has to do it reassert ownership of a certain island "nation" next to it. heh I have said and still believe...

This experience has made me go learn a lot..... Yes, I'm seriously debating an interlock and better generator here at the house. But also this house has an older and horrible panel which I need to replace first, and the wife and I don't plan on living in this house more than another year or...

OK, so now going on 4 days without power I am slipping further and further into the rabbit hole of energy calculations... As mentioned elsewhere , I use the Ryobi 40v batteries for some of my lawn equipment (mower, string trimmer, and the recently acquired leave/crap vac/mulcher). They have...

In her car the it's in the fuel tank, AND the fuel tank sits above the rear axle. So there's a ton of work on that end. More labor than anything. I looked at doing it myself (I've changed out fuel pumps before) and when I saw the level of action it would require it quickly became a "has to be...
