The 48-inch bulbs in the overhead garage fixture gassed out. I went and got some of those newfangled LED ones. They are sexy, skinnier than the florescent ones and boy are they bright. And they come on POW when you hit the switch. The package say they'll last up to 32 years. That's pretty specific, 32 years. So, if they just recently in the history of mankind came out with those, how do they know?

Glad I checked first, this dang engine stand has 4.5" worth of offset, needs a 7/16 x 5.5" bolt. A 40 mile round trip to Downtown Dallas (not my favorite thing) and we're good to go. I don't like the lockdown, but traffic is about half of normal or less. The percentage of complete idiots is about 4 time normal, though. I had to yell at one guy being an extreme dumbass, "I'd drive like that too if I was driving a Minivan!" and I think he heard me. It was a Honda Pilot but it's hard to tell those from a Dodge Caravan any more. Ah well!

crazyass wind.
if I was more native, I'd blame the angry souls of war.

Where I have no facebook to babble anymore...

here is reminder how close an entire family lineage can end



this is my 5th great grandpa (dna verified)
he died at age 21 related to the civil war
company E 95th regiment NY city
the whole 95th suffered badly until dispersed (could not continue)

he had 4 kids.
one of them is my 4th great grandpa.
today that must equate to 1000 people or more between all the kids.


get laid young, ya never know when death comes knocking.

anyway, ancestry updated some of the math in dna research, now you can not only see with centimorgan values your closest relation, but the segment length between the same relatives.

mine totally favors french italian segments regardless of centimorgan. (strange overlap)
my clair·voy·ant aunt was right.
she called me the meditteranean.(she also predicted my unusual facial hair when I was a boy)

now the oldest relative written (per gov't)
is very french, where most of the records are accurate anyway.

Marie Josephte Daigneau Deniau

Californicated Chinesium Calibration Proliferation - the tendency of the Chinese to under jet "EPA" lawn equipment. Drilling it with a number drill like a no. 56 would probably not translate, so 1.2 mm (.047) it is, bring on the tall grass.

Equilibrium: Whatever I saved in electricity with LED bulbs in the garage, I'm spending on fans.

If a person says they are suddenly learning a lot about something does that mean they were pretty ignorant about it before? Asking for a friend in a hospital outside of Washington D.C.

Looking for methods to seal biological agents outside (or inside) a Chevy Suburban. Asking for that same guy and his bodyguards.

When someone does a lot of things that tend to make you angry, beware when they start to do them ON STEROIDS!

Is the lesser of two evils truly a choice?

The majority of this country sure think so.

That depends on how much damage you are wanting to do.
