After the bedtime Fun and Games last night, thy boxers lyeth on the floor and then were put on backwards this morning.
All day, I had to pull my pants down like a toddler just to take a piss because of a simple mistake. Just thought I'd share.

I'm no Shawn D, but is that the correct spelling for 'lyeth'? It just doesn't sound like Frank Bacon or anything.

My God man, how can you argue semantics at such a tyme of trying tribulations? The mutton hole was at my arse all day in fact, and never quite put to good use. That, in itself, . . . is criminal.

Some of us don't share the leisure time afforded, that. Plus the pants down publicaly throws me into that eleventeenth offender status where I would pull hard time, and I hate toilet made wine.

I could go in the garage... I'll watch Jaws instead.

I'm not sure if this trailer would've enticed me to buy a ticket to watch Star Wars back in '76... I nearly fell asleep.

The blow molded craftsman tool holders that came with my set suck. I got a little bored and have a near limitless supply of free lexan.
Image
I did a quick sanity check by milling the shallow wells and engraving the sizes.
Image
In so doing I realized a couple of things: end mills are no good for engraving text. I had a conical carbide burr that I use for de-panelizing circuit boards, it worked better (second row), but it loaded with chips and started to melt the lexan. Real engraving tools are on order. maybe they'll do better. Maybe the MDF bed of this mill is complete shite and this is futile. Tune in next week to find out.

Bourbon good. Broken end mills bad.

That someone felt the need to develop jewelry for a cat's arse is a sure sign that society has blown past the point of no return.

Judging by my stool samples, I've been eating waaaay too much fruit. Either that, or it's fucking hot outside and I drink cheap beer. :dunno:

At first I was weary because of the news on the android hack that allows the hacker to have control over the hackee's camera/microphone on their phone. Then I caught onto the last 7.. Why does the news propagate this type of stuff? Seems like that would encourage foul intentions.

I bought a a/c belt from autozone and got like 30 miles out of it, before it disappeared. Leaving behind residue of rubber dust on the lower radiator hose. Don't know what happened. Did some research this morning on this site because I wanted to find the belt size that would install like a normal v belt and found "y'all" recommend a 13x810, which is different from the correct size of 12.5x800. Carquest ordered something for me, a 13.1x812. When I went to the store, we talked about what the stock size was and double checked the owners manual- the correct size for the 635 is 12.5x850. I took home that size and installed it by walking it over the pulley and simultaneously turning the crank.

WTF? no way a 810 length belt would work on a 635.

I want a bluetooth connected amplifier. I "split" the signal from the deck to double amps to add a sub and I would rather have a bluetooth receiver attached to a audio amp.
