Me, this morning.
So I sign on to the ol work systems this morning, to clean up a couple of things, before Jan. 1st. Technically, I am on PTO until Jan. 2nd. Within 5 minutes of signing on, a VP pops on Teams messaging and says “Hey, can you and X (another sucker who was on PTO, but checking email) meet with _____ company and answer their questions? Kthxbye.”
BASTARD!
So I grudgingly agree, and tell the other side, send me an invite. I just got the third date/time change for it. @#$%^!&*.
Here are your grumpily assembled links;
- *cues up ‘Jaws‘ theme music.*
- *blows dust off old Weimar Republic bills*
- You try to bring a little holiday cheer…sheesh.
- *flexes in CHF*
Comments are yours.
“You try to bring a little holiday cheer”
Oh, I’m sorry, I thought this was America!
Makes me worry about parking in shopping centers (not that I am trafficking meth). Do they just walk the dog up and down the parking lot until it alerts?
/meth should be right next to the cocaine and ammo in the public vending machines. You own your body an should be able to ingest anything you want.
Well, at least an alerting dog won’t necessarily cause as much damage as the cops taking out a tail light for a reason to pull someone over..
No, the chief noted the “multi agency” cooperation – there was a lot more than the

Brass and lead.
Somebody on this site has posted about curing and smoking their own bacon. I’m looking for advice on cure recipe.
Article.
Thank you. On an unrelated note, any advice on searching by author in WordPress?
OBE, I believe.
Spud did too, I think
My friend Frank is also expected to remain strong in 2026.

The KY meth story wasn’t too far from where I used to live. I wasn’t in J-town, but I was J-town adjacent.
Car Glibs –
In November, the passenger side headlight burned out on my CMax. I got the bulb replaced, all better, right? Well, the turn signal bulb in the same corner just burned out. Is this a sign of worse problems, or just Chineseium?
I think I asked this before, but I’ve been kinda wound up and distracted of late.
Check for shorts, you know how, that’s troubleshooting 101
Check the ground wire.
But it’s also possible the stuff failed at the same time.
My wife had a bad ground on her Sidekick years ago and it caused one side headlight to fail prematurely, repeatedly u til I figured it out.
My mom’s Ranger has a similar problem but I don’t want to work on it. I hate electrical work.
I don’t mind electrical work – so long as it’s computers, gadgets, logic design…
I can’t even reach the wires inside the car, nor am I confident I can put the other elements back where they belong if I start taking it apart to do so. Plus I’d be working on the side of the street… in winter.
I work in the ‘big shop’ most of the time. Sucks but I’m used to it. I really slow down in The winter though.
My DIY car maintenance desire went from “I can fix that” 25 years ago to “fuck it- Ill pay someone” mostly because I hate playing “driveway garage”.
Now if I had a proper garage with a lift and some room to work I’d likely tackle projects to send to my mechanic. But even after changing the oil on the Tracker Testarossa® myself, Im sore for 2 days.
Incandescent build or led? Maybe just giggling the housing caused the filament that was already on the way out to snap? I was nailing down some wire in the garage last night and caused one of the overhead lights on the same beam to fail. (No, didn’t drive a nail through the light’s wiring)
I think they’re incandescent, they’re dim enough and I drive a 2016.
Sunset soon from the top of our tiny mountain. Windy as hell. I forgot my coat and this should.. get interesting.
Your bionics do not include cold immunity!
Accurate! Major flaw in my design. (‘Being human’ is another.)
Kentucky Police, gift wrapped meth.
ICP fans hardest hit.
You know, I had assumed that the Swiss had gone along with the whole EU and Euro. Instead there is a conspicuous hole in that cheese.
The Swiss would never get rid of their currency, to chain themselves to the Greeks, Italians, French and Portuguese.
Perhaps the only sensible people in Europe.
The UK, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, everywhere east of Germany (less Latvia, Slovakia and Greece) wave “Hello” as well.
Today was supposed to be easy. I worked at home, no meetings.
1. Rotten trash in the garage required immediate removal to the street, garage and laundry room needed a Febreze bomb.
2. Wife and daughter decided to cook, set off the smoke alarms.
3. Setup my daughter’s new burs camera, dropped the whole thing from 6 feet while installing it. One hour to repair.
4. Wife tried to install spare battery on her VR headset, fail. Addressing issue later tonight.
4. Gave up on everything. Sat down to play video games. My controller completely failed, had to hard restart.
Mistyped birds as burs. Need scotch now.
I got my wife one of those BirdFy feeders with a wifi camera for Xmas last year, it was a home run gift, she loves that thing. Plus side: Lots of cool birds visit the feeder. Downside: $35 a month buying birdseed for it.
We got the same, with a lifetime subscription. And I dropped it. It was a fair amount of woodworking to repair it and get it mounted again.
Reinsulating the house. Today was removal. Also, coldest morning of this winter so far. Heat pump is running full blast with R-gypsum between us and outside.
Always a solid plan. I approve.

Perhaps a tiger repelling rock may also work for sharks.
“Oh, what do you know, the polarity was reversed.”
“Jeffersontown Police Department officers arrested Jacob Talamantes, 23, while he was at a shopping center near Bluegrass Parkway after a police dog detected drugs in his 2013 Chevrolet Malibu.”
My car history resembles this. This aggression will not stand, man.
Technically. At my grade/position, you start to never really be off work.
Ive managed to have the last three christmass off. It didn’t hold for a fourth year. If my guaranty broken his leg he would have done the job I did over christmas as it was only five miles from his house. Oh well.
Wow. Iranian rials are pretty worthless. except Zimbabwe bucks.
I have $110 Trillion around here somewhere.
Iranian rials are pretty worthless.
Fitting tribute to the imams.
They’re worth bringing back the chamber pot. With their faces strategically placed in the bottom of the bowl.
