- The last time I had to work this hard to extract information in a professional setting, I still listed “Speaks Russian” as a critical work skill.
- I learned two things at work today:
- First, I learned how to configure a new user in the application I’m trying to learn.
- Second, I learned to always go to the men’s room prior to a budget meeting.
- We went to a pre-opening evening at a new drive-in theater last night. It was fun to sit under the stars, listen to the peepers in the trees compete with the movie, and try to stay awake after 10 PM.
- Last weekend, I used the machete and the big honking string trimmer (The string measures as a caliber) to clear some of the overgrowth at the back of the property. Irish Woman cautioned me to look out for snakes. I was secretly hoping I’d find one so that I could have an excuse to not do the work.

/ August 11, 2018I bet you could replace the plastic string on the big trimmer with stainless steel cable.
A string trimmer that would cut down moderate trees.
What could possibly go wrong!

/ August 11, 2018LOL on the first one… Sigh… BTDT And large caliber string trimmers DO work well, and will also eat right through the siding on the house… sigh!

/ August 11, 2018Yeah, going to try to be careful with that thing. So far, I’ve learned that long pants are a must.

With some degree of regret I will take the stainless steel cable idea off the table.
I am pretty sure I hear the voice of experience.
