  • I stopped going there a couple of years ago unless Amazon reports that they subbed delivery through USPS. My wife’s like it’s important to go every few days and every time she walks in after saying “not worth the walk” because there is never anything worthwhile anymore. If it’s important the app or the email will say so - the post is dead.











  • I absolutely LOVE running new network cable for stuff - it is so satisfying to run it in a hidden way then crimp the ends and use the cable tester to determine that you jacked up the RJ45’s and recrimp until it’s right. I have about a 80/20 success rate crimping ethernet cable plugs - it has gotten much better since the introduction of push-through jacks.

    Tomorrow I am going to punch a hole through the brick out front to run a cable from the office out to the alley side of the house to mount a POE camera…been putting this off for months because I am not only dull, but lazy (I have said this to myself for over 20 weeks of procrastination so you can safely await my dull post about actually doing it).










  • My best friend at work is a dyed-in-the-wool conservative. He will never not be - and I rush to profess that he is not an asshole…he just thinks conservitave/republican is the side he needs to support probably because that’s what daddy did, dunno. We see eye-eye on most other things.

    We do not agree on anything political except that everyone is way too heated up over everything. We are still friends, regardless.

    My point in responding is that his gay daughter disconnected from him after Trump v.1 - would not take a call or interact in any way. This is painful for my friend and he has been confused by it but does not realize why his daughter won’t engage. I think she is offended that his political choice doesn’t allow for her right to exist and, frankly I agree with her.

    I think my friend has lost his daughter forever because he is a stubborn man. I hope your dad can open his heart to accept you.
