Thanks to whoever recommended Automation. I've been having way too much fun playing the demo and tweaking my 600bhp 5.4 liter four banger race motor that revs to 8400 RPM. :v:

I'll have to give that Automation a try, sounds entertaining.

Cleaned the shed and made a sign to hang on the front of it directing UPS/USPS/FEDEX to put packages inside the shed so the neighbors dog doesn't eat them. Cleaning wasn't as bad as expected...empty shed, fill trash bags with junk, put useful stuff back in the shed. Have to make a dump run tomorrow afternoon.

Weather is awesome but I have no energy to do anything, pretty sure my body hates me. At least I can sit on the front porch with a book and listen to music though I'll pry fall asleep pretty quick. Think I should start bugging my doctors again but all they'll say is eat/sleep more and listen to your body, same poo poo they've been saying as long as I can remember.

One of dad's friends was a huge Lanz Bulldog collector. The story about the friend losing control of a Lanz on a major road in South Australia, because the engine would not stop and he became a passenger was hilarious

There's a story in the family about great grandpa and how he lost his finger. This would have been in the mid-late forties, and the tractor a Bolinder-Munktell hot bulb two-stroke. A wagon full of hay was on the hitch, great grandpa driving and grandma (about 7-8 years old at the time) sitting next to him on one of the rear fenders. When going up a particularly steep hill, the engine suddenly stopped. The brakes on this particular BM wasn't the most impressive ones and as the tractor started rolling backwards, grandpa accidently let out the clutch which led to the engine bump-starting *backwards*. As they started picking up speed, going backwards downhill, grandma bailed and while doing so accidently turned the steering wheel, sending the wagon and tractor off the road, into the ditch. As the wagon went off the road, it rolled over, taking the tractor with it. Grandpa almost got out unharmed, except for the tractor landing on his middle finger, immediately severing it above the first knuckle.

Grandpa borrowed a bicycle from a nearby house, cycling the 5 km to the village nurse with a severed finger.

I would have taken Viggen just for shits and giggles but he lives too far away.

My date ended up being a super cool dude. I was worried that he might be a total weirdo, but my family loved him and he was extremely tolerant of both them and me. I ended up being a drunk mess like usual and ended up crying to him about being sexually assaulted a few weeks ago. I'm a pretty awful first date.

The metal bracket I grounded to my brother's radio keeps rusting over every month and shorting it out putting it into protect mode. I keep sanding the surface rust off but it keeps coming back. Is there any kind of paint I could brush on the area to keep it from rusting but keep the connection?

Could you put some conductive paste between them then paint over the whole thing to seal out moisture? Even a primer type would help I'd think but I've never done much with paint...rustoleum type maybe?

poo poo just realized I signed up for a two day riding school months ago that's scheduled for two weeks from now. Thought I would be in better shape by now, lets hope they'll give a partial refund or something because there's no way I'd make it riding dirt bikes for 8 hours a day.

-a date where I got too drunk and played footsie with a guy who was not my date

-a date where he called me out for checking out another guy

My only wedding experience was being invited to an Indian wedding to pad out the numbers by my mate. I had no idea who was getting married or anything. Eventually I got a little drunk and started pretending to know the groom. Eventually this old guy came up and asked me how I knew ______ and I said we go way back, worked with him etc. He then told me that the name I was throwing around was actually the bride and he was her uncle at which point I melted away into the crowd.*

You haven't lived until you've spent hours in a Panera bread making awkward conversation after being fixed up with someone. She found someone else which was a relief to me since I was such a disastrous date. Another 'relationship' I've been in was in high school, ending in the same way but creating another very happy couple. I like to think I'm an extremely poo poo cupid who creates love for others by boring women to death. :allears:

So weird problem, I have a cat who is peeing outside the litterbox. I have three cats so I don't know which one it is. I tried to set up my old laptop with an xbox live camera to catch which little bastard is doing it but all the camera software I've tried sucks rear end.

Suggestions for decent webcam software that will allow me to record for 8 hours straight? Also free?

AFAIK both smoking and vaping are illegal in public places in California and unless you have a high pg juice or can hold it in for a long time and not be obviously vaping, I don't see how you'd get caught

I once used Justin.tv and flash media encoder to remotely watch my cat while on vacation. Be sure to take the kitty into the vet once you figure it out. You want to rule out any medical issues first.

How many boxes do you have? If its less than 4, try that.

And TT: guess I need to tone down a build, then, so I can just go into the bathroom for a minute. I'm usually blowing clouds, which is pretty drat hard to hide.

We've already done that, took all three and got a clean bill of health for each. Whichever one is doing it is just being a jerk.

Edit: we've had 4 boxes for the last 9 months, they all use them, its just once a week or so there will be a piss spot on the carpet. Same spot every time. I think whichever one is doing it hates my TV stand.

As a PI regular, its not that scary as long as your not an idiot/ignore advice given.

But on topic for the cat thing - more litter boxes, try different kinds of litter, and grab some "cat attract" litter additive. Also, if you don't, clean the boxes daily. Some cats get a bee in their bonnet about the boxes being dirty.

Well gently caress Mondays...especially this Monday. Great weather so decide I'm going to ride the bike into work and take the fun route (hills, curves, gravel). Get about a mile from my house and the bike dies, won't bump start and won't run. Push the bike off the road a bit so it doesn't get ran over or stolen then walk home and get the car and trailer. Get back to bike and realize my brother replaced the hitch pin with a bolt so the trailer won't tilt, glad the bike only weighs 300lb so I was able to lift it onto the trailer. Get home, start unloading and the neighbors dog walks over and takes a massive poo poo right in the middle of my driveway...wtf.

Guess I'm lucky it isn't a huge deal if I'm late to work...left the house at 6:15 and finally got to work 2 hours later.
