Absolutely Useless Facts About Yourself, No One Cares About

The part of the church where the silliest things happen. Conversations that sound like they belong in the youth room will be moved here.

 I don't like change much. As such, I've never - not once - changed my avatar until the other day when a few of use poked JimVH by using his pin-up calendar photo as our avatar background. It was a fun tease but I've been discombobulated since then so I'm going back to my pipe smoking Jayhawk.

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.

Gave away three pipe/pipe cleaner/tamper/tobacco sets to students who came out to the house to visit today.

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.

It's not doing it wrong. It's

I'm covered in cultured skin made from T-cells from mice, at least 63% of me.

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.
Tomorrow I'll resharpen the edges with a file.
Not that anyone would care.

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.
