What did you do today?

[Floorist]

Follow up Dr appointment from the crap done last week. I expect a big " I dunno".

 

[highup]

They need to do better than that.

I hope they can figure it out soon, Rusty.

Mom woke me up early because her bedroom doorknob broke from the inside. Something inside stripped so the inner knob would just spin and not move the latch. My brother had gone in there to use her bathroom and was stuck. Knob was 40+ years old but finally gave up the ghost. A couple weeks ago I mentioned we should replace it because it's finish started peeling off and it had a rough texture. She didn't see the need. I had to open the door from the outside. Then I had to drive to the nearest hardware store to get a new cheap knob. Got some Kwikset privacy lock that advertised having Microban. whoopdee doo. I don't know if it was defective or just a crappy design, but they put the escutcheon with the screws on the outside part instead of the inside. So I initially put it on backwards. Couldn't switch the escutcheons. and there was no latch plate either. Didn't care though. I got it put on right, tightened it up, washed the grease off my hands, and came back in here. I woke up too early and it made me nauseous. At least mom wasn't mad that I bought a new screwdriver. I lacked the mental fortitude to go looking for screwdrivers in the house even though I know we probably have over 20 of them. I can never find them when I need them. So I got a new magnetic one for $3 and it worked. Mom actually said it was a good idea. I think she was just happy that I was replacing the knob.

Right arm is really bugging me so I'm going to take some naproxyn and try to nap longer.

Don't forget they do make small vice grips. Large ones are for steering wheel replacements and small ones are for door knobs.

 

[DarisMulkin]

So you do a 40 ft chain with 12 ft of strap. When the strap breaks, the rubber band affect is much much smaller.

With that long a chain we would be into the next sub.

 

[Floorist]

He could find nothing new. Says blood loss is probably due to my bad kidneys.

 

[zannej]

Highup, if I'd been awake enough I might have considered messing with it. I was fighting to keep the cats out of the room and mom's jacket was hanging on the door & kept swinging in the way. I eventually threw the jacket on the floor.

Rusty, that doesn't sound good.

Have they actually done any tests or is it just guessing? I don't know how many doctors you've been to but I would think there would be some tests that would be more definitive. That really sucks.

 

[highup]

Versions of that this video is a lot more funny if you know
Crap, this guy is and watch his stuff. He's had this young kid in another video and I guess he's making a cameo appearance. He's got a fantastic relationship with not just this kid but his dad...... I mean for his dad to trust him to hang out with his kid for a day.

Crap I don't know what's up with YouTube.
Type in or copy and paste the following:

"Teaching a very young adult over 18 how to fly a plane"
If that doesn't work include the words, whistlin diesel

Yep, they have done a lot of tests.

 

[highup]

I'm sorry Rusty, it's just frustrating. Seems like this day and age the medical community seems to know everything. When they don't well, that's when it gets frustrating.

 

[Floorist]

They can give me an iron infusion every few months to keep it safe.

 

[highup]

But wouldn't that make you....
.....Rusty?
I'm sorry my humor isn't very good until the second cup of coffee.

 

[highup]

The new house that I've been tinkering with has an interesting architectural feature.
The sheetrock has rounded corners yet the base has square corners. Interesting way to deal with it.

 

[C.J.]

Many ways to deal with bullnose corners. I like that look. I don’t think a 3 piece corner has a very rustic look to it so that’s a good fit. It just chaps me when the bullnose corner goes all the way to the floor and they do a 2 piece 90 for the corners.

So today I became a victim of climate change..... or something.

Why is it that when your concrete heaves at a saw cut that was filled with elastomeric epoxy not less... and causes your concrete to buckle and shift and makes a bubble in the flooring, it's somehow my problem?

We had historic temperatures a few weeks back and would you believe these showed up right after? weird!

So, alas, I have now fallen prey to the effects of climate change, for shame.

I heard a report today about Vancouver where the sealife/mussels were getting cooked on the rocks killing them. Along with environmental disasters I believe we are destroying earth exponentially

 

[Floorist]

But in terms of the long history of the Earth we are actually still in an overarching ice age period - known as the Quaternary glaciation - which has been going for the last 2.6 million years. At the moment, the Earth is just in a slightly warmer period, an interglacial.

There have been at least four other overarching ice ages in the Earth's history, the oldest started about 2,400 million years ago.

The Little Ice Age was a climatic period, lasting from about 1300 to 1750, when worldwide temperatures cooled slightly, leading to extreme weather that, in turn, affected the colonizing ventures of Europeans in America.

The Earth is still warming from that Ice Age

The Earth cooled 0.1 degree, about the same as it has warmed since then.



We're still waiting for the science deniers to explain why this Inter-Glacial Period is colder and has lower sea levels than the previous 8 recorded Inter-Glacial Periods.

But if they're getting cooked we won't have to light a fire on the beach and release all that carbon.

I'm still waiting for someone to disprove that global warming begins and CO2 levels leg behind it.

 

[highup]

Here's some global warming for ya.
Darn I was going to try and play a video of my drive home tonight. It says that the file is too big. Dang.
