It's a seven year stint that leads to 8 weeks off (I added a little vacation time to extend it!!).
I have time off.

I've got a small fire going on in our new charcoal grill to season the cast iron grates and burn off any residue from the manufacturing.

I got the brakes fixed on my truck. The first time I stepped on the parking brake pedal after having the work done, I just about hurt myself. Instead of going down about 8 inches, it only went down about 3/4 of an inch.
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.

OK. At the risk of sounding as if I care; I am an internet dependent human for employment. Recent situations have caused me to have to work around internet outages to remain employed. It was a tookus pain. Having an Alt-office is simply smart.

I replaced the handles on my post hole digger. One of the original handles broke and the other was about to break, so I replaced both, saving about $11 off the price of a new post hole digger. It's a Seymour and the bolts take a 9/16 ths wrench to install the handles. The handles have round ends, not square like some other PHDs.

Experimental treatment? Because current cultured graft technology I'm aware of uses human cells grown on mouse fibroblasts. In any case hope you are doing better.
