Chilling on the PC for a couple hours. Beyonce is on pandora. Music is my cure to stress.

Early nap for my daughter today. She squirted red drink flavoring on the carpet, decided to play lame duck and when I gave her a timeout she acted like she was going to break down the door.

Two warnings and no change. So I smacked that bum hard. Sure it stung. Leave again and she's banging on the door. One more warning and she stops.

Sheez.

All you women with multiple children out there, I tip my hat to you.

It can get rough... but it won't last forever. this is cake compared to adolescence.

ever wonder how those paint caked, rusty fire hydrants are refurbished? our city just got one of these called a plug hug, really slick. another invention I wished I thought of

That's cool but seems like a waste of $$$. Firefighters used to go out and scrape and paint them, something to keep them busy. I remember walking around Boston with my grandfather doing it, scraper, wire brush, can of primer, can of red oil base and a brush..took 5 -10 mins per hydrant, scrape, wire brush, prime, go around the block doing that, then start back at the first one and slap on some paint. If it was too bad, they got the city DPW to swap it out with a refurbished one..

i thought that too but maybe manpower cuts or union regs impact that. I know the FD tests hydrants but I haven't seen them do maint on them in a while
