It’s like 18 degrees out and snowing like a mother fucker, so a couple of friends and I dragged my cast iron chimney out from the backyard up to the deck and stood around a fire drinking scotch and smoked a couple of beef tenderloins and made sammiches, not a bad evening!

Sounds like a good time. Its been above 0 like once in the past week and I'm already done with winter. 30 tomorrow and Monday but then back to single digits and negatives after that.

curious about that too. i work in cannabis and ive had a decent number of older folk who say they tried it for the first time once it legalized and they were able to get low dose edibles to test it out

I've never smoked but was in Colorado this summer and bought some gummies. Got high for the first time at age 38. I enjoy it and would definitely buy more if it were legal here.

Damnit goons, stop getting sick!

This! It seems to be a nationwide issue. Even beyond COVID. My wife is currently in her second round of influenza A so it's been a real fun couple weeks. Thankfully I've avoided any kind of sickness but I'd imagine my luck will run out soon. I ran to get a few groceries last night and it was amazing to me how few people were wearing masks despite the obvious issues going on. The cold and cough medicine aisle was wiped out. Never seen anything like it.

On a personal positive note, I did 3 sets of 6 unassisted chin ups last night. Felt like a big achievement considering when I started training I needed bands to assist doing any.

I bought a parka 3 years ago as my first Real Winter Jacket and, man, I waited too long. I'd been doing the dumbshit college kid "field jacket over hoodie" thing and life in the cold is just so much better when you have proper gear.

I roll with hoodie above 32. Hoodie and light-mid jacket from 0-32. Parka below 0.

Hope you feel better. If you've got nose congestion, keep your head propped while you sleep, clean it out prior to sleeping with a neti pot. The lingering cough was the worst part for me, but ended up being fine otherwise.

Replaced one of two bathroom sinks today (the second tomorrow after the caulk on this one sets), and it only took one extra trip to Home Depot for supplies.

Impressive! Plumbing always is at least 2 trips for me it seems.

I just about wrapped up installing cabinets in my kitchen. This has been a process but not as bad as anticipated. Laser level made things much easier.

Current state of our bathroom: almost fully torn down



Going to pull out any of that subfloor with black on it and get rid of the wire that was going to the whirlpool tub, then I think we're ready for actual construction.

The big push this weekend is pulling together a list of poo poo to buy and a general idea of what order to start putting things together. Big step 1 is installing an in-line fan in the attic for that bathroom (no fan currently) and the one directly to the right of that picture (has a fan going out the roof, which means electrical and ductwork up there to take advantage of).

Nice. I get to start showers next week. I'm using the schluter kerdi system. Pretty much no brainier.

Right, and butter turns brown from cooking pretty quickly (lit. make "brown butter" sometimes), so probably the other five times I've made a roux it was with butter and it turned brown in a few minutes.

But you want a nice dark brown which takes about an hour to achieve without burning it.

Same. Since the kiddo came along I put it all on hold and welp

Got some big welded kettles in my folks’ attic I need to pick up. I’m going to try and get back to it this year. Was doing a steady run of clean farmhouse brews and big estery Belgians with no-chill technique when baby came along. I’d like to pick it up again.

Nice. I've been using an old 8 gallon keg but acquired a 16 that I want to convert so I can boil a double batch. My cream ale and chocolate milk stout go way too fast. I haven't got into anything too crazy yet.

Given LASIK has basically changed my world, this might be the post that makes me actually get one next time I need to do a toilet repair...

I bought the Tushy brand one and it installs in like 10 minutes. Turn the water valve off. Flush toilet to drain the tank. Unscrew the water supply line, insert T and reconnect water line. Take toilet seat off and set bidet in place and reattach toilet seat. Done.

So the Tushy bidet sprays cold water? I'm intrigued by a bidet but I'm also wanting one that has not-cold water, so now I'm either redoing plumbing to run hot water to the toilet or I'm installing electrical plugs near the toilet to run a bidet's heater… or maybe I'm overthinking this whole bidet thing.

It does. It's probably the most basic bidet but I love it.

I live in North Dakota and our water in the winter is pretty cold but it's never been an issue. The water basically sits in the water line until you use it so it usually isn't that cold because it's at room temperature.
