Wile E. Michaels. Soopah genius! :D Been there, done that. Autoranging meters spoil you after learning on an old analog needle device (complete with calibration....)

Wow. That's pretty impressive.

Keep your chin up, man. (y)

Jeebus...... are those things gold plated, at that price?

She was gone. Dead to the world, rumbling madly away, and forepaws wrapped around my neck. One of her favorite places to snooze.

Another snuggly little beast.

We do have to pay for transportation infrastructure somehow. I've been expecting this for years, ever since EVs were beginning to become commercially available. I am absolutely not a fan of the data collection that gets practices with any kind of ID transponder. I can think of far too many...

One of our furballs is on an inhaler for his asthma, is on a lysine syrup (a little dab on the end of my finger,) and has no problem taking pills. The little beast comes to me twice a day and just rumbles happily away on my lap for all of it. Yeah, I know.... he is rather atypical.

Time to restock the kegerator. An American wheat today, and an Irish red and a sweet stout tomorrow. I'm using an Anvil Foundry electric all grain brewery with a mash recirculating pump. It'll run on either 120V or 240V, I'm set up for 240V (for the electricians, yes, I have a GFCI breaker on...

I'm gonna agree with the scammer folks, this just reeks of problems, and I'm not even looking at the site or anything else. Stick with your gut feeling, and do the transfer at a police station.

Ah...... stuffed mushroom caps, then. Hadn't contemplated grilling them wrapped in foil. Thanks. Might have to try this with large portobello caps, 10-15cm in diameter.

Wait, what? Mushrooms filled with crème frâiche? Tell me more.......

Sir, this is NOT the time to fall apart. Remember him, and the good in him, through his services. There's always time later to lose it, and with people of your choosing. I'd consider that to be a rather private activity.
