does unfriending my brother count because he refused to stop sending me his crap conspiracy theories? 

 

 

I understand that completely.  My youngest brother and sister repeatedly put stuff in their threads so I disabled them.  One asked me if I saw about his son's graduation and I told him no the frustration level to interesting stuff ratio is too high.  He did not understand.  I reworded it abd told him he posted too much political crap and I get enough of it on my football boards,

(is it a bad sign if the wine store greets you by name?)

That depends, was the greeting a quiet "Hello, Aug" from a single clerk, or was it a 'Cheersian' bellow "AAUUUGGGIIIEEEE!!!!" from the full staff and other customers?

As for my accomplishments during these trying times, I would say getting people ticked off over hypothetically awarding conditional draft picks to a certain unnamed NFL franchise.  ?

I think I’m safe! They don’t get on the loud speaker and call all hands on deck. 

 

 

Yet......

I was more of a jug wine guy at the beginning.  But I've gotten much more snobby. I really know my Pinot from my Cabernet now.

 

 

That's excellent!

 

I remember having a jug of wine in college and it sat for like 6 weeks through drinking it. Now I sell wine cellars to really rich people. Man what a difference in how I think about wine.

@plenzmd1 yes I have a problem.

My most satisfying accomplishment was getting my lawn tractor going. It needed a starter and you have no idea how expensive OEM parts are for old John Deere's. Like $750!!! Amazon had $50 models but I had to get three before one worked.

Never skimp on parts! I ran through three AZ alternators in college because they were CRAP. 

I only buy quality these days. Don't want to do complicated jobs more than once.

True but it's a 25 year old tractor. If I would spend $750, I'd put it towards a new model.

I addded: "Sasquatch" lights to my new rig.  You  ask, "What are Sasquatch lights? But before I did that, I added extra fuseblock and 100a breaker....For  future power  supply needs. 36" removable  LED light bar, quick release off front  load bar.

Should give a little bit of light on trail, camping, or on those dim evening fall tailgates?

Why is your picture at 45 degrees?   Is that a new posting option?

Hide other  things, like license  plate  and  front  yard.

Here's  the install.

Lower LED light bar will go in later. Behind  front, lower grill.  Here's  the  auxiliary power:

Nothing, I'm essential. 

 

I was never considered essential here (atleast not when they talk about essential workers or give them bonuses) Soni have been working the whole time.

 

I have been working a bit more around the house trying to get stuff done. Although working part of my job from home I find at time I have been working more
