What did you do today?

[zannej]

I cleaned litterboxes today. I'd been putting it off for too long. The waterer for the kittens had been dripping in to their litterbox (bc my brother put the bracket on wrong) so it was nasty. Had to scrape it out with a heavy duty litter scoop, spray it off with the outdoor faucet, and then scrub it with lysol wipes. Kittens were losing their minds about getting fresh litter. Most of my cats get excited about fresh litter for some reason. They can't wait to jump in it and soil it asap. Sometimes they don't wait until I'm finished pouring.

Tom, what farming simulators have you been playing? Freshly fertilized soil does take a bit to get used to. I'm glad I'm not sensitive to smells like that-- weird thing is, I'm very sensitive to perfumes & scented candles. I can't set foot inside a Bath & Bodyworks without my eyes watering, sneezing, and coughing. I just remembered the time my friend's girlfriend tried to smell some shampoo in the store to see if she liked the scent. She accidentally squeezed the bottle & it shot up her nose. She screamed, tears started streaming down her face, and she was freaking out while an employee who knew her laughed his behind off.

My latest sketch showing the opposite sides of the bathroom. I'm getting picture references to try to figure out how to draw the tub & double curved shower rod from side view, but for now this is what I have:

I will need to figure out what sizes to make the shelves & what height to set things at. My brother is 6'3" so it will need to be high enough for him.
I'm also wanting to make my own pull-out shelf that goes between the wall & vanity. Need something to fill a 3" wide space. They sell Rev-a-Shelf ones but they are too deep & cost $100. I'm trying to figure out what drawer glides to use. I will only have to mount it to one side- the cabinet side. I wonder if I can pair an undermount down low & a side mount up higher on the same side or if I should put one side on the wall. Wish I could just find the glides for sale that Rev-A-Shelf uses. There's another brand that makes stuff like that (I think Rockler?) but I haven't seen the 3" thingies.

Anything you guys think I should add for the shaving station thing? (other than some sort of prank where it has a boxing glove that shoots out and hits my brother in the face when he opens the medicine cabinet...)

What do you do with chestnuts, Tom. I don't think I've ever seen one in my life.

What do you do with chestnuts, Tom. I don't think I've ever seen one in my life.

Don't you know the Christmas song, "Roasting chestnut over an open fire." Got to be careful though my cousin got severly burned by throwing them into a wood stove. They exploded and threw the ashes or whatever over his pj's and got scarred for life.

i roast them and eat them. From the song, Chestnutsroasting on an open fire... I cut a slit across the top and boil them for 5 minutes to get moisture inside the shell. Then I roast them in the oven for 20-30 minutes.

Do you know what’s worse than finding a worm in your chestnut? Finding half a worm!

The game I’m playing is called Farming Simulator 2019. I’m playing with a bunch of mods and an automation package called courseware. It allows you to set up patterns for plows and harvesters, arrange unloading and storage routes, and all sorts of cool stuff.

Wow protein and more protein.
I'm wondering. Would that freak out a vegetarian?

Hey Tom...... I wonder if these come in kit form. Might be good for those wasps.

Got the tree I cut up loaded on my trailer. The city has a place to dump it free and they make free mulch out of it.

 

[Tom Picciani]

That was a joke from my long departed dad. He didn't tell many jokes but when he did they were usually pretty sick!

I want one! All the Tonka trucks are envious!

Different model. Watch especially when 16:50m in.

Only thing missing is the operators arms aren't moving with the controls. Unreal detail. Having one of these at the picnic would make me say, "hold my beer, watch this" way to many times.
They need a minesweeper with a metal detector attachment and sell them as a pair.

 

[highup]

And if someone tries to steal the treasures you dug up......
......well, there are ways to deal with them.

I had no clue things like these existed. Sounds like it was a kit.

 

[zannej]

Those are so cool!
I got my blood taken at the doctor this morning. Mostly painless. I've had cat scratches that were worse. The nurse was very good at taking it and holding needle still. I've had nurses who moved the needle around once it was in & it sucked. Appointment is next Monday. Mostly a checkup. I racked out after the bloodwork & slept until 7pm. Got up and made dinner. Now I'm curled up with my cats trying to get back to sleep again.

 

[Floorist]

Just for you zanne

 

[zannej]

I have a cat sitting on me right meow. LOL! I'm sitting here trying to stay warm & trying to motivate myself to do something productive.

Just saw a Facebook Marketplace listing for old formica sheets in 4'x8' size. Lots of older ones with different patterns. They have 100 sheets & they are $15/sheet. It's $50 a sheet in big box stores. It's in Lafayette but my brother is going there tomorrow for his teaching practice for ESL. I'm going to go with him & take a look at the store when he finishes his class stuff. Maybe I can find something good in the pile. Won't hurt to have some extra stuff for projects.

Also, just realized my landline is out again. I was wondering why the phones weren't ringing.

Meet to add an "s"
"cats", plural.

 

[highup]

That's pretty cheap, zan.

I see that Oregon legalized all drugs. Medicaid costs will break the state
