I decided not to launch with an Easter W-A-S this year as I thought I'd be too busy - how about we have a special Wedding Day Whackfest on the 29th instead?

Just kidding - I wouldn't want to get you in troube lol

Well at least (it being Easter) I am risen!

Me and my better half spent a very nice day lounging in the garden, soaking up some very welcome sun. Eaten our easter eggs, now we feel a bit sick. To be fair, it's not Easter if you don't feel a bit sick!

Spent like 4h today cleaning up my garage and shed, found a whole bunch of stuff I thought was lost during moving

Aktungbby · 04-10-23, 11:02 AM

jimbohere!

...somewhat belatedly. I'm terrified of my garage/laundry.

33 years of accumulated stuff: paint, tools, and junk!

Welcome aboard, Jimbohere

Welcome

Aktungbby · 04-12-23, 01:22 AM

Thinking it my Subaru auto dealer concerning a cracked windshield replacement matter, I answered my my new G5 cellphone and was informed I had won the Publishers Clearinghouse House Sweepstakes and should "contact them with my bank info in order to recieve my $2 million plus grand prize into my account" !!?? The recorded voice was female, authoritative, and decidedly Asiatic in accent...

^ sounds perfectly legitimate

At saturday I exchanged two ABS units of the Citroen's rear axle, installed a new hydropneumatic spring leg and fixed some smaller problems, when i became aware of a small leak that pumped 4 litres of hydraulic fluid over the garage floor until i was able to cut the engine.
I somehow lost my élan and this !"§$%& crate is now in a repair shop

Meanwhile, RIP to my beard.

For now.

I've had a moustache since the day I was promoted to E-4 (it acts like an antenna) but never got into the beard thing until last winter.
I was surprised, I was expecting the standard Slavic "if you say so" kind of anemic beard but I guess the Irish minority in my genes kicked in and I had a fairly bushy example after only one month.

The only downside was that I waited too long. My male family members tend to get some cool "calico" beards with at least three different colors but this one came in only one variation- Santa.

Still, it was fun at first

but became pretty boring after a while. Yeah, it was there and... Well, what can you really do with one of these things besides holding up gas stations?

With the Midwest heat kicking in soon (it hit 80 F today, at last) it was time to hack the bugger off.

Still recuperating from so-called miserable Covid. Watching 1960's "Sink the Bismark" with gorgeous Dana Wynter; followed on by 1966's "The Blue Max" with the equally riveting Bond-girl, Ursula Andress...her sensuous: "Let's play war games" is the best line in the movie. Two off my favorite flicks over a 'cuppa joe' whilst reading the Saturday's Wall Street Journal.

I resolved my fifty-four hour internet outage yesterday with a replacement router. Re-config & Testing all complete, all systems are go.

Right now, I'm trying to remember what I was working on when the old router lost the magic smoke...
