Hi, friends!
Got anything that has you all twitterpated with anticipation or excitement?
My furnace died and hopefully today it’s being fixed. I will have to update that later as I’m writing this Tuesday night. Schrodinger’s furnace repair.
Anticipation [NOT 26/10/22]
On Sunday Fisker had a pop up event at the Space Needle for the new car I have been on a waiting list for a few years & we got to go sit in it and check it out. Production starts in November but even though I am one of the first 5000, I don’t think I will get mine until near next summer. It made me WAY more impatient but happy the wife loved the car too.
Let me guess, 0-60 in maybe two seconds?
3.6 but I would NEVER drive like that!
You say that now but….
… you’re finally getting off the entrance ramp of the I-5 after taking 10 minutes to exit from the state highway, you see a window that’s just starting to close around four clueless Chevy pickups, and if you only punch it… just… right… now… you can take advantage of all of that electric motor torque and break into the clear….
Oh, I am totally doing that! All my friends are saying you will never get the range they claim because of your lead foot. True but how often do I need 350 miles of range? I rather have 200 miles of fun!
I do give you kudos for the I-5 reference, very real world issue!
Sadly it’s true for every interstate from I-5 through I-95.
200 miles of fun is a lot of fun.
I hope your furnace repair doesn’t set you back as much as mine did.
Turns out the part didn’t ship sooooo looking at getting fixed the middle of next week now.
I have five gallons of beer fermenting, and I always have to worry that bacteria have overpowered the yeast and are turning it into vinegar.
Almost always it works, but you bever know for sure.
I’m hoping soon to do hard cider, which is even more of a crap shoot.
Humans have been making their own hootch for millennia. I’m surprised that it’s as tricky as it sounds. When I was in my late teens, I made some apricot pruno in the basement and it tasted godawful, but damn it got me and my mates effed up. I remember doing research at the library on how to make it. Never tried it again. The hardest part was keeping it hidden from my parents in a cool dark corner of the cellar.
Beer and cider aren’t that hard. One of the fathers of the movement had a saying for all of the times things didn’t go exactly to plan — Relax, don’t worry, have a homebrew.
And 99% of the time he was right.
I’ve always found as long as I take cleaning & sanitizing super serious, it comes out good. Way better than most main stream stuff.
I am all aflutter for the World Series to start.
I’m glad the Phillies are accepting the Gritty look, and I hope by the end they all look like him (it?) and win.
Happy to say that my month long anticipation is over. My electric recliner arrived today! I cannot believe that I waited until pregnancy #3 to buy one. It has amazing lumbar support. I just spent an hour and a half cooking and cleaning for the family and could barely walk my ass up to my room because of lower back pain. Been sitting in the recliner for 30min and I have no more pain. I’m am done cooking labor intensive meals for my in-laws. It’s going to be mac & cheese, ramen, grilled cheese, and pizza from now until they leave.
The only problem with those things is they’re like the Hotel California — once you check in it’s impossible to leave.
Hahaha so true! I’m debating sleeping in it tonight.
I hear you. I’m not pregnant, but I’ve got a good recliner and if I fall asleep in that thing, the best I can hope for is someone kind to throw a quilt on top of me and turn out the lights, because I ain’t going nowhere for a while.
I used to like mid-century Bauhaus style furniture, but now you can have my Barcelona chair, just give me a La-Z-Boy.
Hahaha same! I was just telling my brother that he can come collect my Womb chair (knock off) when he road trips down to see me. What a misleading name for a chair that is too uncomfortable to sit in while pregnant or breastfeeding.
My mom once worked for Knoll International, and we got a womb chair after one of the furniture shows for a deep discount (it fell off a truck). My dad loved that thing. After they passed, I had custody of it for a while, but then I passed it on to my sister because it helped her back problems. The Saarinen stuff was the only comfortable furniture in the collection. What a chair.
Shouldn’t they be catering to you? Unless I missed something, this is the time for everyone to do stuff for you!
I concur!
Usually I would agree but I want them to maximize their time spent with the kids. They live in Glasgow and have already missed out on two years of seeing their grandkids (which is pretty much my youngest’s whole life). They are in their mid seventies and don’t know how many more trips they can manage.
You are amazing! I hope everyone appreciates how great you are!
That’s sweet and I hope they have many more trips!
One of my clients is 86 and on a tour of India, so you never know!
co-worker of mine recently got an electric recliner….tho it took me the better part of a day to figure out thats what she was talking about
its not where my mind goes when you call something an electric chair
