That Lincoln Guy

finishing up a re-watch of Battlestar Galactica, forgot that at the big finale they had a bunch of 1978 BSG Cylons on screen. 100% that was for the nerds but I appreciate it.

I love it when people ask whats wrong with a thing, I give a best-guess with a way to confirm it, they don't and simply act on my guess and then get mad when it wasn't correct, especially when the first piece of advice was "leave it TF alone".

I kinda do, carbs are a pain in the ass. I don't want anything smarter than 1980s EEC IV though

trying to touch up paint chips with some spray paint in a lid and a toothpick. Hopefully this doesn't look worse than the chips.

Dammit, just got stung by a wasp. Went to open the door, didn't notice it and the sob landed on my hand and stabbed the back of my finger. Luckily I'm not allergic but it still hurts.

Driving around aimlessly I saw two squatted trucks today. I thought that stupid shit was done.

I think my mom is losing it. She's on a witch hunt to find out who's grey hair is in the sink drain, and she started by interrogating the guy with the shaved head. Now she's on to me with long brown hair. I'll let you guess who has grey hair.

Videos and speaker phone loud in a waiting room is rude af.

Buddy hooked me up with a deal on tires, one day sale, buy 3 get one for $1. I'll call it a win.

I have a dentist appointment in 2.5 hours, I also want to do some work on a project but I know I won't be able to focus on it because I'll be paying too much attention to the clock. I guess I'll just be unproductive instead.

Every month I watch this guy put links in a PowerPoint and then completely fail to figure out how to get them on the screen. Its painful and I just don't have the patience for it anymore.

This weirdo has been camping here with the shoes for hours. No idea why.

So i bought a small roll of solder

shame my parts didn't come a day earlier, then I could have done the last of the hole-cutting on my chassis and painted it while the weather was warm and dry enough for it to cure properly.

today's trip goals: 4 screws to mount something, money. Today's trip accomplishments: half the screws needed, lunch, no money. Trip pt2 goals: 2 more screws, money. 30 minute round trip to spend $1.12. The fuel will cost more.

the number of badly researched videos that are presented as factual documentaries really makes me sad.

STOP. Hammer(tone) Time

spent a couple hours trying to set up @tmobilesupport.bsky.social internet, only to be told the router isn't the right one and they need to send a different model instead. I have my doubts it will fix the weak 5g signal problem but we'll see.

Today's example of how being poor is expensive: non profit I'm a member of got notice that we need to come up with about 3 months deposit on the electric bill because of past late payments. Late because there was no money, but sure we can pre pay 3 months now.

People that wait until they get to the register before trying to open whatever app on their phone and proceed to stand there trying to get it working while holding everyone else up should be launched into the sun.

moved my leg while sitting and my knee dislocated, that felt lovely. Its also got that faint soreness that makes me suspect I'm going to have problems walking tomorrow, so thats something to look forward to.

Getting close to needing to pick a color

USS Vicksburg heading downriver for probably the last time

only half way through the week and I swear it feels like its been 2 weeks.

best work call-in ever. Was about to leave a company dinner, got a call with a problem, I literally have to drive by the place on my way home anyway, stop and he'd already figured out the problem. We talked for 5 minutes and I clocked back out.

its only Tuesday and I've had enough for the week already.

My mom had this on her wall at work for many years, and she said most people just didn't get it.

stupid futon just popped another support rib. On the back this time. I re-welded several on the bottom. I get that shitty welds are no match for my fat ass but I guess my back is fat enough to be a problem too. Fix is easy, taking this POS apart to weld it is not.

Was having a nice dinner at the bar, talking about assorted BS, then it took a hard right political turn and I had to leave. I wanted lasagna and some gin, not crackpot conspiracy shit.

Dear idiot who tried to kill me: I sincerely hope the sound of screaming tires scared you as much as the sight of your tail lights coming into my lane at 60 did.

I guess I should just stop talking. What I say and what people think I said no longer seem to be the same thing. Unclear where the fault lies but not saying things would resolve it either way.

People that volunteered to take on an obligation and then complain endlessly about it are tiring. Also my mother is acquiring serious Karen energy in her retirement. Associate those statements as you see fit.
