Three more options:
Threw it in first, while a beer did I nurse
Stepped on the clutch, which impressed her much
Released the e-brake, and prepared to 'cel'rate

My brain isn't focusing enough to add to lyrics. I thought those were actual lyrics to a song.
My brother was telling me some famous wrestler was killed in a snowmobile accident. Flipped over and landed on him. And an actor from the Marvel movies had a snow plow accident-- got thrown off and it ran over his leg. He's apparently in ICU from what my brother said. And here I'm whining about my shoulder. LOL.
ugh. Tornadoes suck. I still feel so awful for the family that lost a house that had been in their family for 100 years. They survived, which was the upside, but still-- something that lasted 100 years and in seconds it was ripped apart.
My brother has been doing the exercises for his right shoulder-- although its still bothering him. I've been doing them for my left shoulder but can't do them for as long as I'd like because it starts to spasm on me.
Today I went out and got pictures of the plumbing in the pump house as well as the outside hose bib I fixed up. The cows haven't gone near the waterer ye. It is filled to the brim but not overflowing. I need to level it better. And I need to put up some sort of cover to keep the leaves and branches out of it. Need to add a second tap for another hose on there and use the hose to spray the trough out when I clean it.
This is the current state of things in the pump house. I need to clean up in there. Eventually I want to get a smaller tank and a cycle stop valve setup. I'm thinking of making a pressure treated wooden stand or board that attaches to the steel shed wall (but goes all the way to the ground in case the wall doesn't support it) and use a bracket to hold it up-- metal bands that wrap around the tank to hold in in place.
I also put foil tape over the seams and gaps on the insulation for my hose bib. I'm still planning to make a cover for the top using a small styrofoam cooler that shipped with mom's insulin and some zip ties or something. Still need to figure out how to protect the ball valve. I put it above ground because I couldn't find the tools to dig lower and didn't have a way to prevent the shutoff from getting buried and be unusable. Its so close to the fence its hard to get anything behind it.
Before & after foil tape:
I only got the foil tape stuck to myself twice.
Cooked for Mom but she really wanted some frozen burritos she bought from Sams last time we went. Except my brother ate them all. In his defense, he thought they were the ones he got at Walmart and didn't remember he'd eaten all of his. But Mom was really pissed off. I found something else for her to eat but she wasn't happy.
Upside is, my friend is happy. His ex is absolutely miserable though. She has to take care of her own baby and she hates it. She also has to clean up after herself and that pisses her off too. If she doesn't she gets kicked out and her boyfriend & his mom will take the baby from her.

Yeah, Jordan is really nice and you can tell he & his dad love each other. Apparently, Jordan was living in Dallas and saw some of his dad's videos on Youtube and said "I have to go help him!" and moved to Louisiana to help him out. When he decided to move back to TX, his dad wanted to move with him. I think his sister also lives in TX. Now the sister's husband, Rad, is helping out. They all seem like nice guys. Did you see the bathroom reno they did where the used camshafts as supports for counters?

After the plandemic, local casino replaced the $8 all you can eat buffet with a sports gambling outfit... everyone wants the buffet back... I don't eat that much often, but it was an occasional treat to have 200 food items to chose from and sample...
I get about 50 emails daily with those kinds of stories... don't have time to read them... just delete most of them... never heard of most of those 'famous' people...

You get to many emails. You either need a better spam filter or a fresh email address
Neither one will work... a new personal email address would just get the same spam emails as companies re-sell it... and make a lot of work for me to get the new email address out to hundreds of people, websites, and companies.
And I don't want to block real Russian people trying to reach my email for my Normal People Organization that are trying to seek info about and help from the outside world. Russia email bombs that address to try and block their people from being able to reach us and religions also try to block us/the truth.

So you have a following of normal people that you actually help?
Got my electric bill today, looked a little highish, so I re-checked the rate. Still at about 5 1/2 cents per KWH... checked the other 55 companies' rates available around here, they varied from 5 3/4 - 20 cents... most were over 10 cents... the one for 5 3/4 also had an additional $50 monthly 'fee' in addition to electricity usage billing... plus a fee for early contract termination...
Before the plandemic i was paying about 4 1/2 cents with an outside supplier, but they had jumped to 13 cents now... and couldn't keep me on at any lower than that...
.
My natural gas had been at 33 cents, but that company has jumped to $1.20 now, nearly 4 times as much, like nearly 300% increase. Friday I will go on a new supplier at 74 cents, the lowest rate available now, but still 2 1/2 times higher... so much for the Govt claim that inflation is only 8%...

Normal people don't need much help, unless trapped in foreign countries, but we offer help to everyone and some learn from it/take advantage of it... it's what we can do to make the world a better place... decrease the number of unneeded wars/lower human suffering/poverty/mass murdering... basically, it's the same thing that was done when Jefferson/Madison formed the USA in writing... a country vastly radically different from all earlier countries... and a model for other countries to try to evolve into...

Do you have any metrics to substantiate that you're making any impact?

My trick with a new email address was I only shared it with people I knew personally. Then i set up automatic forwarding from my old one for select domains (Amazon, auctions, etc.) if I wanted e.g. notifications about stuff I'd bought without having to open the old one.
If I need to send an email to a company I use the old address.
Kids should to be taught to set up 3 email addresses: one personal, one for commerce, and one professional.
Also, when filling out forms where your legal name isn't required but "your name" is, include a deliberate typo so you can trace who sold your data.

ISP emails me daily asking me to delete the 1,000 unwanted emails clogging up memory from the other account...
My uncle used to call the gas pedal the exhilarater pedal... since that was what it did...

Yeah, I have 5 Emails, and create a new one when a Football game is on ESPN and I need to subscribe to a streaming service for a free trial. I burn that email just for that purpose, and for subscribe and save kind of deals wherever... I don't tell anyone it exists, and it receives zero spam. I also make up the name completely. My name is completely fabricated.
I just go to the casino and sit and drink their free drinks while watching those games...
So, I bought myself a new toy had it delivered yesterday, just finished putting it together. I think between the tool chest I already have and this one. I should be able to keep things organized much easier and things will be more easily accessible. It was marked down to 120.00 in June and I think I paid 89.00 or 99.00 for it. Its small a little.over 4.feet tall and about 20 inches wide....
Ignore the dog food mess I just made topping off the food container, the dogs are cleaning it up for me lol.

Built a "tchotchke" shelf out of scrap for my son's bedroom in about 40 minutes today. He helped. For the shelf itself I had a nice piece of edge-glued pine (actually came plastic-wrapped with an SKU and everything) and I fabricated some triangular supports and a backing piece out of some other 1x material I had lying around. Nothing fancy, just glue and brads. It looks nice enough and fits the decor in his room. I spaced it so I could screw it right onto the studs.
Are you a TomBoy?
I thought that was kinda obvious
at least when it comes to tools, taking things apart putting them back together etc..... years ago, when I owned my Ford Festiva and Geo Metro, I did MOST of the maintenance myself, oil changes, removed seats to get a good detail, pulled the bumper back out so the hood would attach to the latch after I rear-ended someone. I use to repair "boomboxes" when I was a kid. I was very poor until my mid 30s, so I learned to do things out of survival mode.In general, I don't dress tomboyish, or look/act butch..... however, I will not ever be seen with a ball cap or plaid too because that definitely has attracted women to me in the past... and that is just not my thing at all.
I also own this
And this
And a bunch of power tools.... small air compressor, router, oscillating tool, toe kick saw, circular saw(s), jigsaw, reciprocating saw, chain saw, compound miter saw, table saw..... you get the gist.....
I could care less about hair, makeup, clothes, etc......
