Self discipline is the hard part

Coeliac disease? Does your poop float?

When WALL DRUG did it, it was cool

I got my first “home computer” in the days of the BBS’s when there was such a thing as a “long distance call”. Internet access was crazy expensive and not for the average geek. Back then it was a bit “underground”. There were professionals and there were passionate hobbyists. Most people didn’t have or need a computer in their lives. Things changed in the late 90’s boom. A cultural shift when suddenly everyone joined in. The geeks were no longer king

My first experiences with computers started when I was in Junior High around '79. It was a total nerd hobby, almost "underground ". Now I see it for what it is. Gadgets become necessities and we become enslaved to them. We have to stop chasing our tails

Keep the core warm

Fuck this shit

Reminds me of my first house. It was built before plumbing, when they eventually got water, they installed a bathroom under the stairs. The tub was a ceramic half sized one with the claw feet. Eventually I replaced it with a shower. Wish I’d kept the tub, it was unique!

WMD: weapon of mass distraction

Don’t want to confuse it with a guitar tuna

It must be an election year. Here comes the “both sides” posts

What in the Ronco is that? I’m a state gazetteer kinda guy. Also used the county street atlas for local getting around.

All the way out to the street? How about sewer and gas lines?

Any frozen pipes?

Get a tank

Who would pay for the zoo?

Is he involved with a charity? Epstein was filthy rich, I’ll bet he was constantly getting hit up for money. That explains Clinton and Gate’s presence

Birdwatching. You can buy a book and binoculars if you like. The app Merlin is somewhat free to ID Birdwatching calls. Birdseed can get expensive or just plant sunflowers.

Wildflower identification. Best in early spring, Phone apps make this a little too easy. Seed collecting and propagation is my next goal. I also pull up invasive plants, mostly garlic mustard.

Gardening. Seeds are cheap but if want to start indoors you’ll need a light and possibly a heat mat. Start outdoors in a makeshift “greenhouse” using a clear plastic jug. Starter plants are cheap

Choking the chicken? It’s two hobbies in one

Thats it right there. Some guys go to strip clubs and treat it like a relationship. A woman once told me she worked in a club and when one of the regulars passed away, a bunch of them went to his funeral.
