What did you accomplish today?

[lokie]

On Tuesday my wife bought a cake at the grocery.

She did not like it.
It was yellow cake and a whipped icing.
She prefers buttercream so that was a negative and the cake part tasted "off".

Being a sugar junkie I did taste the icing. It had a bit of butter taste but it was not a buttercream icing.
I skipped the cake part, if she did not like it I did not care enough to try it.

So last night I put it outside for mother nature to dispose of.


Taken just before sundown tonight.

As of this posting no living being has wanted to touch this cake past the first slice, and that was trashed before being consumed.



Edit to add

It has started to rain.

I left that mother fucker in the MFn rain.

Let's see if the rain will prevail or the mutant cake!

Rain? It's dumping like a faucet on full here off and on. The weather flows in fast going east off the Pacific here in the PNW. We get it first but it usually ends up causing more weather events when it gets into the interior of the country. The last real weather events we've had here were 20 years ago with some bad flooding and a bad wind event that was pretty bad.

I'm not done yet but I have to crawl under the house. We'll see if I accomplish the task. It's going to suck balls though.

Hope you own a onesie!

You remember when the Sandy blew out?

You remember when the Sandy blew out?

Which time?

I remember 1996 when they were putting up panels along the waterfront downtown Portland. I lived just blocks from the river then. It was crazy. Oregon City was under 10-20ft of water. Vernonia was a river. Bad times.

Only other times I'd seen water move like that was on the Colorado near Moab and on the Klickitat in the lower canyon. We get some crazy weather!

 

[farmingfisherman]

The good thing is that I don't have any water under the house and it doesn't flood here so it's not wet and no puddles. The insulation is starting to fall down which makes it really nasty but it's almost 50 years old. Just something else I need to deal with in the future. I'm pulling that crap fiberglass insulation out but am still deciding what to replace it with. Some of the options are spendy.

Apparently you can get hemp based insulation, I found one company online that said they were a dealer but never got a response back from them.

I'll watch that!

I think it's going to be a blockbuster! The shooting of the sequel starts December 12th , 2021.

Learned how to use cruise control for the first time last night. Don't know what took me so long, what a cool feature.

On the scooter or in your car?

both my ebike have cruise control, it’s one of their best features by far.

I should have specified. On my Toyota. Meta, so cool you have that on your bike, my ebikes and scooters don't have that. I wish they did as my hand gets tired from the throttles.

Do your bikes or scooter have a “walk” feature? Usually you hold down a display button for a few seconds and it cruises at a few mph?

If so, try holding down that same button at speed while keeping the throttle steady. Then try letting go of the throttle?

Ive shown a few people about the hidden cruise control features on their PEVs as well…

Cheap cruise control for a scooter is a large rubber band, just have to remember its being used!

No, nothing like that. Would be awesome, though...
