What did you accomplish today?

[too larry]

We haven’t had measurable rain in 18 days and temps have hovered 100 for the last week. None really in the forecast. If you sit in this sun for “about 40 minutes “ you will probably burn 10,000 calories or possibly die.. good luck busking, bro.

What he said. My green beans curled up and are dying, with me running the sprinklers everyday. Another week of this, and there may be nothing left in the garden.

That's a normal summer here.

Dropped 11 degrees in an hour, gotta love a thunderstorm falling apart.

2 new sinks set and curing, will hook up the water and plumbing tomorrow. The downstairs toilet is now without a leak and 2, count 'em TWO wax rings, greedy fucker.

I now need another 2 toilets for upstairs and a new kitchen sink for downstairs, @WeedFreak78 any chance you'd part with that Farmer's sink? Although my cabinetry would have to be reinforced out the ass to hold it LOL

I'm not even going to think about the three more bathroom sinks I need.

With all that lovely baking seems about time to self-clean that oven again

Cant risk popping that fucking safety switch again. You know getting hit with 230 is a different ball game? Penalty for not performing step 1, flip the breaker.

 

[curious2garden]

And where the hell does one find such large durable and flexible bags like that? I had no idea that plastics where so advanced back in 1950

Back in the day other little old ladies custom sewed it. They made livings doing that! These were the ones that sewed the custom auto upholstery.

 

[Blue Wizard]

We had a newer stove at my old job, it was the only one in the whole complex that had a self cleaning feature. So of course some idiot turned it on then decided it was taking too long and hammered the safety catch off and opened the door. The whole oven door shattered into a million pieces. I'm glad I don't work there anymore.

Yeah wasn’t that fun!

I was on fire getting all kinds of shit done. I was almost done installing the gate opener on my new gate and all of a sudden there was wind, I looked up and saw the storm coming and rolled my shit up just like that! Lol.

The fucking center of it rolled right through my property. JUST finally stopped raining. Jesus fucking christ when will it stop.

I’m pretty sure i’ll sweat my ass off and drop a good 40lbs this summer building my shop and all the other shit I got planned before winter. If I didn’t drink so much beer I’d probably lose like 60.

 

[DustyDuke]

yea i will be framing them one puzzle is a anime i love plus the picture is extremely nice as well i've seen people online frame theres and it's a beast. need some art on my walls they are so bland


Nice yea im tryna get that girl im talking to to like come over and we can do a puzzle together XD but thats wishful thinking. i just like putting things together idk why the more pieces there are the more i am interested in haven't done a 500 piece puzzle before but figure the 1k piece won't last me a while. i can put the lego's that are 2k pieces in just a single day but i try to like space it out so i have something to do when i get home. the lego's piss me off the most because if the pieces fall off i don't remember where they go so i get pissed and just trash it don't want to start all over again. only happened to me once but i trashed it because it gave me bad memories of my last gf since i bought it when i was with her.

idk though this girl got something strange going on. my friend whom is close friends with her knows too but she doesn't want to tell me. i think she likes me but doesn't want to admit it and my friend is keeping me in the dark cause she wants me to do it on my own prolly if i found out i'd get all cocky thats why. i wanted to buy more puzzles but then i need to buy frames as well so im kinda just like trying not to buy so much puzzles at once. i dont want my entire wall to be puzzles either want to set up different types of art. i am thinking of buying the lego millenium falcon i think that one is 7k pieces? maybe more but that shit is expensive. was gonna go old school and hang it from my ceiling with wires.

Just get one at a time easier that way 7k is crazy big nice, don’t go to nuts keep some cash for the car bro.
Don’t stress over females to much but if there’s chemistry ask her out bro.
I was lucky I didn’t have to ask my wife out, we first met when she moved right across the road from me. She had been there for a month we hadn’t met yet just a few waves back and fourth (she was also very pretty and 7 years older I didn’t think I had a chance lol). She came over to say hi, I didn’t see her coming I was smoking a massive joint. I shit my self and she was like is that a welcome to the neighbour hood joint. I was instantly was relieved, we smoked it talked shit hit it off. Before she left she said to me if I ever wanted to have a smoke or just talk to come over. I said why don’t you make us some dinner and I’ll bring some smoke over tonight. We have only spent 2 nights apart since then and that was when the kids were born (and because we lived across the road from each other a lot of midnight rendezvous). Life’s funny like that, if I wasn’t smoking weed who knows if we would of hooked up. I probably would of been like nice to meet you now leave I want to get high lol

Starting week 7 of flower...

Yeah. 100 is bout right for us, although it’s a little early for these temps. We are usually wetter than this. Plus side is it’s not as humid as it can be. Downside, we have like 40 something wildfires right now. With our humidity we don’t have wildfires as much. I know, also the norm for you.

 

[Laughing Grass]

I'm more function over form and have no issue wrapping lovely things in durable packaging. I'm surprised you haven't had an issue with your capacitative touch screen's chips separating from the board.

Never had a problem with the touch screen. The home button on my 5s went weird on me but that wasn't from dropping it. I think it was from moisturizer getting behind the button and messing with the electronics.

You obviously have no Italian senior female relatives. Grandmom, and 3 aunts(her daughters) all had their living room furniture encased in plastic; "transparent corpse bags" as a dear friend calls them

I'm second generation Greek Canadian so our families are probably similar. Never seen those plastic covers IRL. I have to assume everyone has heard of scotchgard by now.

Thats a lot of fires.

Stay safe. Do you have a plan?

Yeah, stay away. Lol. Seriously though, I’m not in the path of any actually. The closest to me is now mostly contained and about 10miles down the interstate and across the river. Worst for me is smoke and traffic.

No F'ing way, I love this sink, I'm pretty sure I'd take it if I ever moved and there was room for it. Whenever I go to a friend's place and need to use a shitty small sink I go out of my mind.

Don't take your eyes off of them. Shit happens quick.
