A dude named Ludd. Follow along as I build and rebuild the Carbon Kitchen, my ongoing culinary experiment and experience in my backyard. Maybe some gardening. And the occasional rant. And a bit of RUSH when the mood strikes me. Okay, probably a lot of RUSH.

What the actual holy hell?

I should not have had that second piece of cake for dessert last night.

I'm still playing catch-up on the reno's upstairs, but I managed to put the glass back in the kichen cabinets, and installed a new faucet in the sink; it was one of those from the Home Despot with the supply lines all coming in from the centre of sink. Guess what wasn't there? A hole in the counter substrate. The d-bag that built this kitchen never bothered to think of cutting one out for the future because the faucet he put in didn't require one. That made for a fun day contorting my back.

After 8 days of sanding, I'm ready for putting on the oil, coach. I went from 36 grit, to 60, then 80, 100, 120 and, finally, 150. The missus vacuumed multiple times and then damp mopped twice. I'm sitting for a few minutes, with the heat pad on, before screwing up the courage to get up there and bend some more.

You know, the Soviets who were our allies in fighting the Germans in WWII. Only in Trudeau's Canada.

interesting. I would think Bills fans would brawl. Pittsburgh too. I've seen Steelers and Ravens fans mix it up at Browns stadium. Last year's altercation was Browns v. Browns idiots.

Nothing but half-cut fans loving on their team. I was there for the Frank Reich comeback against Houston and this drunken Oilers fan shared a wineskin full of brandy with me as we tried to stay alive in the sleet storm.

Did they find that missing F-35 yet?

Turns out someone on the assembly line put his entire brown bagged lunch inside the driver's door and then affixed the panel. It was rotten, moldy mess. Ford paid for an entire new door assembly and a steam cleaning of the car.

Except there was nothing wrong with the engine; it was put into track pant Doug's Ranger with a 2.3L engine. All paid for by Ford. kThis store had a bigly yuge fleet divisioin back then, and had pre-authorization for any alnd all warranty work. I've no idea how much shit went down but I do recall those two events like it was yesterday. nostr:npub182f2nv0ckh6cst58s7gu6h4ys55f3yusgenttw9v55xchelyy04sq55z5g

Worker bees are worker bees, IMHO. Management has the final say on what goes out the door, no? And, prior to my years in a public sector union, I sold cars, the first couple of years Fords. I do have a hilarious story about assembly lline shenanigans I'll share in the next toot.
