Dr Seus reads a lot different at 30 than it did at 5. Anything you read will change with your life experiences and understandings. @npub1dw8…yrlv you honestly seem to be projecting a little. You can no more state as fact that Christianity is not the truth than Jeff can (not that he really has) state as fact that Christianity is the only way. I got no dog in as I don’t buy fully into any religion, but lack of evidence for a thing is not immediately evidence that it doesn’t exist.

Just a friendly PSA: symptomatic Hand Foot Mouth Disease can happen in adults, and it sucks balls. The first four pics were Saturday afternoon, free my beloved wife went full witch doctor and whipped up a salve which almost immediately began reducing the swelling. I woke up at 0200 that morning, my hands on fire, so swollen from the blisters I couldn’t move them. A couple of my finger tips are still so swollen that they’re numb, and my left thumb struggles to register a button tap on my iPhone lol. Last six pics are today, just now as I wrote this. Keep your immune systems on point, folks, I don’t think I’d wish that first 12 hours on my enemies. https://image.nostr.build/c3646aefb560ceb5c3ebd5af53354458657985e5d5057222aee83ae4540d2250.jpg https://image.nostr.build/e52c521120730b3670ff839b1b1c8b4a451ff288337ae9fbccecc53a35fe57ad.jpg https://image.nostr.build/d1f66afb88112de683ad43436fcdcf937974cb4340bd72ac1cef2a9bce66b257.jpg https://image.nostr.build/d357e016204363425723e4afd987bf21a5a30165ad97344ad0b5e3d28cb2db0d.jpg https://image.nostr.build/1c6c9033a77c3ff97ece1e8ce33f5f8b62924035aa4fcaf6e569f553061a5764.jpg https://image.nostr.build/d01cf76305f1256d753af1ce85b51716d88b50bf1227ae5f0bf8c0e157fc0f77.jpg https://image.nostr.build/88aec0cd4b2f89fc57f0d2d955915a8e82cc7de76178fbbad1f784ad5fb08f9c.jpg https://image.nostr.build/b26fa1ed971373a70a4738e9c13f2b579b31a62fa246f58b0a26824eca9f9aff.jpg https://image.nostr.build/197872d3285aa5d24133bcb7df71ba473167032818f209216be71b4fb8ff1181.jpg https://image.nostr.build/3e3ce4042ad2db9ab2a5af5d2341a1037b5c5d5932716539917e2870477e0cf3.jpg

It was likely just straight up water and salt cooked with bones then. I’d suggest making yourself some, there’s all kinds of recipes floating around. Throw some carrots, onions and such in the crock pot. Roast your bones and toss them in. Water enough to cover everything, splash of vinegar and some salt, let it cook over night or so.

Stopped by one of the big surplus stores bout an hour away from me the other day, just to kill a few minutes as I was early for the reason I was in the area. Normally this store is a little over priced, but right off the bat I found a couple of the head wraps I use when I’m welding for $5/$6 so I snagged those. Wandered to the back and what did my eyes fall upon but these two beauts! $18 a piece. Gotta clean ‘em up and figure out a spout for the Napa-branded Eagle, and make sure they both seal (these will go into rotation of my storage fuel to replace the shitty plastic ones). Went in not planning to spend anything and came out spending $50 lol https://image.nostr.build/5016bb0711ad9e1a9142adc40d9b9a8dc47cdbaf47d171175d330ba8a24db8e4.jpg

Managed to get up the motivation to do a quick glow plug controller bypass switch, since the glow plug controller is one of the projects that needs replacing. Today is the coldest day we’ve had this winter, and the old 7.3 was NOT happy after sitting for near 9 hours in the parking lot at work. So now, I have control of the glow plugs and have far less to worry about with the cold weather. I do plan to swap to a momentary switch, I just didn’t have one on hand today and didn’t want to go get one and lose daylight (and warmth lol).

Been a busy last several weeks, but none of the handyman projects I’ve been working on have been worth posting (been asked to do a lot of shit in the jankiest way possible…I do it cause I got youngin’s to feed lol). I have, however, added a permanent GFCI shoreline to both the F250 and the ol’ Pathfinder, and an onboard battery charger to both. I do plan to add more boxes to both vehicles in the future, but several projects take priority over that at the moment. I needed to get these shorelines and chargers mounted because A: I was plugging in the truck anyway for the block heater (old mechanical 7.3, not the biggest fan of cool weather, much less cold, currently) and I wanted a charger on the pathfinder for those days I forget to turn off the inverter lol.
Shoreline for the pathfinder conveniently hides away in the drinker side box in the bumper. The one for the truck I just have coiled around a couple quickfist mounts into the factory steel bumper. Eventually the truck will also have a handy dandy storage/winch bumper.

I’m horrible at remembering to take before pics, but here’s another room I’m painting. Can’t tell it here but I’m having to do it all with a brush, yes even the walls. They’re some kind of stucco (this is the same house as the Huge Deck, originally built in the early 1900’s and added on to like 713 times, it’s a mishmash of construction), so a roller just glides over the highs and leaves the lows dry.
Also, finally got the coolant swap and the coolant filter plumbed in on the Ol’ Trugga Dugga last night.

Not that I’m a general fan of this guy, but The Real Anthony Fauci is worth a read. It exposes a lot of the shit that the NIH and Gates Foundations have been doing. If I didn’t already believe that JFK was killed by the banks I’d probably be worried RFK would be killed by bill gates, but I also think RFK is far too useful in the current political scene to be thrown away like so much trash. They’d also turn him into a martyr right now if they did. Anyway, I digress. His book is pretty solid, and the foundation he runs also has a lot of good info.
Also worth a read to continue falling down the rabbit hole of medical lies is “Lies My Doctor Told Me” by Dr Ken Berry. It’s kind of a summary of some major lies followed with book suggestions to dig deeper into each (my list grew by like 30 or more during reading his book lol)

I spent quite a bit of time on the apps, and I can tell you, from my experience, getting even so much as a match is a numbers game for us. Then, to get a reply, more numbers games. Carry a conversation? Good luck. Actually get to meet someone? More rare. I was lucky enough to meet one or two in person, one was a relationship that lasted almost a year. The amount of no responses was highly frustrating. The amount of stereotypical profiles was frustrating. The amount of “don’t just say hey, catch my attention!” In the profile that was otherwise the same as any other IE “probably just liked you for your dog” was sickening lol

At no point in history has that been the case. Families used to live together and the grandparents and aunts and all jumped in to help manage the household and the kids. It wasn’t just a single person doing it all. Honestly it’s an impossible task to ask one person to take care of a Child and everything needing managed in daily activities in a household, especially in the first several months post partum, which is the hardest and least talked about. If my sister wasn’t able to stay at my house and help I’d be quickly running out of money right now.

Aggravation of the day: color matched hardware looks good, but there’s always the chance you won’t be able to it again when you inevitably need another box of it. Case in point, I’ve spent yesterday afternoon and this morning hitting the hardware stores and scouring the internet for the fascia screws I’ve been using on the #HugeDeck, none to be found except one internet store in Indiana, and what they have isn’t even labeled the same as what we’ve been using, so it’s a roll of the dice to even order those. Good times.
