What did you do today?

[MSLI]

All that electrical stuff is above my capacitor …. I admire your abilities

So ! I’m stuck with a conundrum at the local bar. I gave her a 10 for a 4.50 beer, and no change appeared And she’s busier than a one armed paper hanger. What would you do ?

 

[C.J.]

What would you do ?

Order another beer and pay for it with a $5.

Speaking of beer I just heard of a beertini, cheep beer and green olives. I’m gonna have to get a jar of olives now.

Tough call right there. If I was a simi regular I'd probably let it slide .
She might remember later and apologize next time she saw you.
......or not.
I'd let it slide.

Darn ! I had to be all MSli assertive and tell her about the mistake, but She got all defensive, saying she always ! Gives the change out right a way. Then she said
“ well I guess I’ll take it out of my kitty “
And I’m like feeling all guilty for being assertive, …. I guess I’ll have to move into a cave now ….. On the bright side, I was hanging with a couple, get this ! She’s a MAGA REPUBLICAN BLACK JAMAICAN and he’s a White Liberal. We had great conversations and if they can cohabitate, then I think we should / could be ok

You'll be fine.
They'll be fine.
...she'll gain a better memory, so don't sweat it.

I'd order 4 more beers with no tip. That way, she'd get $1 tip a beer, you'd be buzzed, and could walk out wearing a MEGA hat!

It’s Friday!!!!! Boss came around handing out $100 bills to each of us and told us thank you for the good work. Doesn’t get much better than that!

Was that severance pay?
You leave work taller than when you arrived in the morning. Pretty nice gesture. I'd keep him around for a while.

The only times I ever went to bars I brought bottled water. Always the designated driver and I generally don't drink alcohol unless I'm at home and in small amounts at that. I'm too much of a wet blanket to go out drinking and I don't want to be around people I don't know. Hell, there are some people I do know that I don't want to be around. Was seeing something about some rich family that bought an entire island in the southwest part of Hawaii and was thinking it is a nice idea to be away from people. Only issue would be getting supplies and having to worry about storms. I'd happily build my own landlocked compound with underground bunkers, my own private lake, etc if I had the kind of $$$. Only close friends and family would be allowed in. I'm so antisocial! LOL. Well, those would be the only people. Cats would be welcome. Maybe some dogs. And cows. I want some adorable mini cows.

Don't mind me, I got overheated today. Dealt with a bitchy manager at McDonalds who canceled all of the breakfast orders before breakfast was over for customers who ordered online. Then she stole a double fillet of fish out of my bag and had it replaced with a single when I paid for a double (but I didn't realize what was going on until after we got home and Mom commented that she only got a single). Bitch made me wait 15min longer to get my food bc she decided to rip me off and my food was cold by the time I got it. I waited 30min for my food. She didn't even apologize and was rude when she finally handed my food over.

Door lever broke off inside when I was opening the front door. Then bro tells me it broke off awhile back and his stupidass didn't bother to tell me about it so I could replace it. He just put it back on "several times". So I need to get a new door lever. Ugh.

Picked up stuff from hardware store and Walmart to try to fix up the generator so we can at least run fridge and freezer next time power goes out. Would love to figure out how to run the water pump too.

Friend sent me a link to something we can add to the subpanel that will let us run the water and other stuff from the generator. It can be added in after we get stuff setup.

I'm a bit that way too, but no cats, dogs or cows

Last couple days I have been setting 24x24 porcelain tile. Good god is my back effed up from that ****! Imagine holding a 10lb weight straight out for 7-8 hours on your knees.


Really starting to feel the pain these days.

Been a couple years since I quit layin floors. I still work but I don’t think I could go back to the fast paced constant up n down all day long again. ****, I think about it before I slowly get down on my knees now. It would be rough to have to go back to tryin to make a buck like that.

My left knee is twice as big as my right knee.

We need the "I Agree" reaction. LOL. I want to see pics!

I didn't realize I forgot to post here yesterday. I was exhausted though. Long story short, we got the water running. The power for everything in the pump house came in through some smurf tubing in the ground and then went to a junction box on the beam above and splintered into different color and gauge wires. There was 10, 12, and 8 all mixed in. We had yellow, gray?, orange, and black. I discovered I derped and didn't realize that the sharkbite fittings I got would only put pex to pex and not pex to pvc for the 1" (but I did have the proper ones for 3/4") so I had to ditch the 1" PEX and fortunately had enough elbows and stuff for PVC runs. I ran out of wire and conduit but this is what my friend got done: Will be adding on more conduit later and will be adding another run of wife through the hole on the left. That will be 12awg straight from the 20A breaker to have some outlets and a 13w LED shop light.

The orange wire (from the belt driven pump) to the gray wire will be put inside a junction box.

I was going to go take more pics but the sky opened up and there is lightning and thunder. Fippy is cool about it but Princess is terrified.
Went to take a shower and the water stopped working on me. It started working again after for some reason though but I'd already dried off. I got rinsed off a little at least. Will have to check the shed to see how things are holding up. Still need to seal the roof up better and make sure the pipe coming out of the cistern isn't still leaking. It was leaking badly but we can't replace it without having someone get inside the cistern and get down to the bottom and turn a fitting. Couldn't get the lid off to get in and someone else would have to be on the outside threading things. I'd wanted to add in one more shutoff on the way to the house, but we didn't have space for it.

Had to spray the leak with flex shot and it seemed to help. I need to go spray more but don't want to go into a metal shed in a thunderstorm.

I did 20x20 porcelain in the living room of my old house. Seeing as how you're 20% taller than me that balances out. Yeah, it was hard to hold the tile out so as to be able to properly drop and set it into the thin set. I just took my time. It was actually a very small room

 

[MSLI]

I’ve been looking at 2 skids worth of 24x24 porcelain tile for 2 years now in the brothers shop. Maybe they can’t find an installer …. Heal up quick Tile Tom and thanks for being a floor covering warrior out there

Hey ! What would you do in this scenario:
I removed cat per carpet today in an apartment. Went home for a late lunch/ early dinner, then went back to spray Natures Miracle. Directly in front of the empty apartment was a Handicap Parking sign, that I assumed was for that tenant. So I parked there.
I’ve got all my PPE ON, gloves, respirator, goggles and ready to fill up the sprayer, when I hear a voice “ Yo ! You’re in my spot, don’t ever park there ever again “
It was the upstairs neighbor and he was walking just fine by the way …. Anywho, my luck this past month has been bad, and the second time I’ve been scolded over parking in tenants spots …., I took it like a good man, said I was sorry and moved, even though he had a spot right next to me. Somebody’s gotta be the peace maker

Should have jumped off that fence and punched him in the nose!

Ought to be a crane type device with suction cups to assist positioning tiles those size and larger.
I'd invent the tool, but I don't install tile, nor do I like being laughed at.
