Ceiling fan started making a noise that may have been electrical or bearing so I took it apart. Noise is mechanical in the motor. Guess I need a new one. Made in April 1995 and if continuously ran since install ~274,000 hr in service. Good job Hunter Celing Fan. It was a life well served.

You know what. I’m not going to spend all that money for a birthday cake to take to a gathering tomorrow. I’m going to make it myself. Spends 40% more to buy ingredients to make said cake. F this current economy right in the A.
Heard a song in the car sung by a 22 year old recoded 43 years ago. Last week I talked to that 22 year old kid, now in his 70s, on the loading dock, exchanging supportive words after I heard a phone call, that he moved his father into end of life care. The smallest connections can be so fascinating
Bonus. In this manic Moment I did the dishes, swept the floor, put away a whole heap of things, mowed the lawn, emptied the trash, who knows what else till I crash.
Anyone want to come over and just drink with me into oblivion? Every time this summer depression lets up a tiny bit somthing happens and sends me right back. I’ve never been this…empty feeling for so long.
Her: You want cream or sugar in that coffee? Me: No thanks. Black. *coffee shows up light brown* Me: I didn’t want milk. Her: Oh, that’s just foam. All our coffees come with foam. Me: Oh that’s…fine…have a good day. *walks out SMDH*
Sometimes all you wanted to do to to is sit and paint a rock. And then something silly and simple is taken away from you. Checklist: Have a cry, pick myself up, dust myself off, and keep going.
There is way too much noise in my feeds. =/ Missed seeing anything about panel deadlines for BFC. And the reminders were all reposts from the announcement feed too which I have turned off by default.
Thought of the day: Whatever makes you happy but for fucks sake really?
Oh telegram chats Me: profound life affirming realization i’d love some discussion on. Them immediately after: peepee poopoo! T2: OMG Peepee poopoo T3,4,5,6: yah peepee poopoo! Me:(FML)
I think the worst thing us nerds and geeks ever did was try to convince the normies that the internet was not just for porn.
My nights and weekends work life makes it quite hard to join the local chapters. And they are all earn your place by being here every week type groups. Where’s the casual “let’s drink and sing together” chapters? Do any furs I know get together and sing? Does zoom singing work? 2/2
After every con or vacation I usually have something that I’m inspired to work on. Every time I go to Disney I want to find people to sing barbershop music with, like the Dapper Dans of Main Street. 1/x
The new Country Bear Jamboree is a fun show. It has just the right amount of callbacks for us old fans and new songs to interest the newer guests. I’ll miss Blood on the Saddle but Remember Me is good song for Big Al’s unique musical stylings.
Building my LEGO Space Shuttle set 10283 and the first step it to build Hubble. This is 8” long and fits inside the shuttle bay. This whole set is gonna be huge.
I’m torn about working at the Kennedy Center too. The name is being covered up all over the building and is taken off the website but he remains the chair and his yes men are on the board. Are the musicians, actors, stagehands, and support staff really supporting the fascist regime?
I keep looking at the UFC photos and seeing all of the work that is being done by my Union brothers and seriously debating if I should be down there making my multiple thousands of dollars. But I can barely bring myself to look at the White House right now let alone work there.
Bringing the boat back into the creek for the evening. Little wind but a nice peaceful sail.
Its that time of year again 👀
Planning a trip to Disney World when you have no limitation on how long a trip to take other than money. Is 4 nights enough? Could I stay 7?
Our Atlanta traditional breakfast at Bomb Biscuits. New location is very nice much larger kitchen for sure. This biscuit sandwich is fried chicken dunked in hot honey, with an egg, and pimento cheese.
Yay! First lacy suiter hug from @tybarictiger.bsky.social. They were being all cute on the spiral staircase taking photos.
I did a sober April training for a run. And tonight I sipped, for testing, batched cocktails for FWA. Me: “Didn’t think I had that much to drink. Packing is really hard.” @makuus.bsky.social : “congratulations you’re a cheap date again.”
Holy crap Paul Anka still sounds good and moves around really well at 84. I got smiled and pointed at as he walked off-stage after soundcheck. Classy.
Thought I was just tired from the long weekend still. Nope. Fever and night sweats confirmed. Sick. Ugg. Feeling so junky that I’m just recovering at home and I didn’t even put on a diaper. What the heck.
Headed for a maintenance call at work to do some lighting things. Get a message from coworker that says the stage is flooded. My day got a little more interesting.
Stevie Nicks. It’s always Stevie Nicks playing on every doctor’s office Muzak for the last 50 years.
RIP to this bird I found laying on their side in the street. Obviously flew into somthing and was not doing well. I moved them to a park protected by a bush. Didn’t struggle. Could feel their heartbeat. Came back later to no signs of life. Such a pretty Northern Flicker, a type of woodpecker.
