I just go to the casino and sit and drink their free drinks while watching those games...
The slot machine Casinos here are in every gas station and Bar, so even a town with 1000 people has more Casinos than Stop lights. If I were to sit at a machine and put coins in, Beer is free... If I were to be watching the game the whole time, there would undoubtedly be some regular people that wanted to use the machine, so I would be bounced and Beer wouldn't be free anymore.

But, I haven't done that in 20 plus Years, so maybe everything changed. They also have Sports gambling now, so maybe Beer is free if I gamble... No idea.

I do know without a doubt that I cannot stand being around drinkers if I'm not hammered, and I don't get hammered anymore, ergo, I would risk missing a good portion of the game to walk home in that situation.
 
Shan, nice tool chest! I wish I was better at taking things apart and fixing things. I have knowledge on how to do things but lack the physical strength and dexterity.

After seeing the maintenance list for my truck, I talked to my friend and watched youtube videos on how to do it. I can do some of it myself (like changing the spark plugs in the front- won't be able to reach the back ones), the PCV valve, and the ignition coils. I went ahead and ordered the latter 3 things from rockauto. Used a coupon from Retailmenot to save about $15 on the order. I got the chrome plugin that lets retailmenot automatically plugin different coupon codes until it finds one that works.

Not feeling great today. Slept in and got up briefly to get mom food and feed the cats. Then back to resting. Got woken up by a call from a friend's ex wanting to drag me into drama. I kept trying to tell him let it go & move on but he was not listening to me. The dude still won't accept that his relationship ended when his gf said it was over and left. He's claiming it wasn't officially over until a few days later when she re-iterated to him that they were done. She just blocked him today. He also said he was "giving her space" but was messaging her at least once per day. That's not giving someone space. ugh. This is why I don't even want to deal with relationships. Too much drama.

on the upside, the Fries setting on the air fryer is good for the frozen chicken tenders.
 
Nice!

I like this one even better!
Yes, I love this thing. I drooled over it for more than 2 years and then one day... I was like you know what... just buy it, stop thinking about it and just do it, so I did. I had to order it and wait for like 2 weeks for it to come in. I got it at Harbor Freight.

Today starts my work week. Hoping its a good day. With just the right amount if busy!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Just learned the number for tax free gifting this year is $17K. That means you can gift anyone you wish up to that amount with no tax issue for either party. It's also per individual not per household.
 
I'm considering another Water fast, but not a 5 day like the article describes. I fast for 15 hours at the minimum every day, and when on an intermittent fast, it's closer to 23 Hours. I have done a 40 Hour fast, which is real easy because the brain is fooled into thinking it's only a day... That's from Sunday night until Tuesday at 10 AM, basically just Green Tea / Herbal Teas on Monday and then Tuesday morning as well and it's done.

I have found if I drink 16 ounces of Tea / Water / Bone Broth an hour for the 16 Hours on the Monday, I eliminate a lot of built up waste, which starts healing at a cellular level. My Belly drops inches.

If you do a fast and feel "weak" because you aren't eating Sugar, take a TSP of Coconut Oil, which feeds the Brain and eliminates the Sugar craving.

My mix of about a half tsp of Vaseline with a tsp of canned tuna 2-3 times per week seems to be reducing hairball episodes for my cat. After the Vaseline is used up I'll switch to a generic petrolatum. Petrolatum is the main ingredient in Laxatone which is what I started with.

I also bought a Harbor Freight toolbox. I was looking for a bigger box but I wanted roller bearings on the draw slides. HF is always having a sale but one day they were practically giving these boxes away so I got one. I’ve had it for over 5 years and the drawers slide just like they did on day one.

I'm going to try that.
I would start with 24 Hours to see how you feel, and would start it in the evening so the next evening when you hit 24, if you want to go to sleep you get the extra 8 hours or whatever. If you're drinking 16 ounces of water / tea an hour, I would suggest a lot of Organic Green Tea during the day and Chamomile or Catnip at night for the calming relaxing effect.

How do they know it's not a bribe, political donation, paying person who worked for you, etc...?
 
Are you in their class? IIRC they made it into the history books.
Religious Terrorist Hitler is in history books and was a Time MAN OF THE YEAR... so not necessarily desirable...

People have died from drinking too much tea... I forget the chemical that builds up but you can look it up if interested...

I finally broke down and bought a tool box at HF... Wouldn't you know it, next day I was driving along and saw a nice Craftsman upper and lower tool box setup for sale in a front yard... as I looked it over, the seller came out and kept dropping the price... by the time I decided it was acceptable, he was down to $30 for all of it including some tools in it... I hem hawed around for another .035 seconds and loaded it into the back of my truck and quickly left...
 
I saw the most amazing thing today but unfortunately, I didn’t have my phone with me. So I’ll describe it with words.

I was out in the yard this afternoon and I hear a small engine buzzing around. I looked up and a motorized paraglider flew by. Like this one.

A few minutes later, he came back but over the water and really low. I waved at him and he waved back but then dropped down even lower and put one of his feet in the water and skied on his boot for a while and started a turn to his right. He then gave it some power to gain altitude and flew away. Apparently, it’s a thing because I found several videos on YouTube. This is where I saw him.

Ron, that's pretty neat. I wonder what powers the fan. One of my older brothers is an experienced paraglider, but he just uses airpower, jumping off the side of mountains and such.

I have a small bonsai ficus that is losing its leaves. I don't know if it's supposed to lose its leaves or if it's unhealthy. I water and fertilize it as directed by the label, but I have a bit of a brown thumb...
