Thoughts on the Day

  • I need to install cameras around here just so I know what goes on around here while I’m at work.
    • Bluegrass is favoring one of her front paws, and has grass stains on her rump and her forehead.  She isn’t cooperating with investigators.
  • Quote of the day – “Son, you opened this can of whoop-ass.  I’m just here to make sure you take a nice long drink from it.”
  • Note to salesman – It does not bode well for your continued relationship with me when you make a point to mention and discuss the amount of caffeine-laden liquid I am consuming.
  • How my afternoon went –
    • Hmmm, how do you do this?  Well, let’s try the easy and safe way.
    • Nope that didn’t work.  Let’s try the slightly more difficult and a tad more risky method.
    • Nope, not that one either.  OK, let’s try the overly complicated and insanely dangerous way to do it.
    • Well, what do you know, that worked like a champ.
    • I can never let anyone who doesn’t absolutely know what they’re doing attempt this.  I owe that much to the stock holders.
  • Don’t tell me I can’t brace and level something.  Given enough creek rock, lumber, and decking screws, I can make anything work.
  • Of course I didn’t notice that the sump pump won’t shut itself off automatically when it trips.  That would have required being smart and checking it a couple of months before the rainy season.
    • Oh well, it’s not the first time I’ve had to get up every four hours to check on machinery.

    Sounds like Bluegrass tripped and went tail over teakettle. No wonder she ain’t talking–that’s embarrassing.

    Just like standing firewatch… Not that you’ve ever done that or anything…

      Yep. This is as easy as flipping a switch and then listening for the sound of an empty sump crock. At least I don’t have to PMCS that darn thing in the dark.
