Quarantine Rambling

[fleming442]

I hate this "working" from home crap. I can't really do anything, other than sit here and bug y'all until 3, then I'm off to the garage for a couple hours til dinner.

I need a haircut and a fvcking martini with my favorite bartendress.

I completely misdiagnosed the Rusterado. Leaking front axle seal? Nope! the vent hose just popped off the housing. BUT! Let's tear it apart and break sh*t, first! Rear diff cover rusted through? Get a new cover, goop it on with RTV, and it still leaks. Picking up a diff gasket, hub bolts, and hopefully, a brake dust shield today....

I know how you feel at least the working from home part. I am glued to my computer 8-5 and since I live in an apartment complex no garage option for me. I could go for a hair cut as well.

as you all know (if you have been paying attention) I work on my own and am one of them essential people. I'm around 1/2 mile from the local courts so I get some of my excersize from those walks. I also have my office set up so I have to get up to get to any of my printers. The courts are closed and the slow down in business gives me too much time on my hands and I end up eating too much out of boredom which I've gained weight, that does make me happy. My GP is at my son's place about 40 minutes away and I can go work on it at any time but I should be in my office cause if I don't answer the phone the prospective client will call some place else. I don't use my cell phone for work cause I don't like getting calls after hours, except a few of my clients have my cell number, so the rest can call me on my land line and leave a message if I'm not here......now lets see that there is to eat .....

At least popcorn is high in fiber....

I’m an expend... er, essential employee, so even though it’s reduced hours, I’m lucky enough to still be working (made it through 3 rounds of layoffs so far). The wife has been home for around 3 weeks now, so the honey-do list has grown at the same rate as her boredom.... I might have this list knocked out by 2025......

Just playfully insert a joke here or there a out how it's possible to finish ALL of the honey-do list items at once. Of course she'll ask how. The answer: replace wife.

Should cut the list down some...

If not, you can always offer to go out and get a girlfriend that can help out with the chores around the house and list in general...

I started a starter to make sourdough. No yeast? Make some!

Are you my wife?

I am trying to lift heavy to offset my angst. Lots more still to attach if needed... (just remembered I think I have some iron drums) but, kinda worried about f*cking up my deck - may have to move down onto the driveway.

FYI, Redneck Plant Fitness is open to franchising options for those interested.

I hope those wheels are balanced.... 🤔

No, it's just that the hoarders around here scarfed up all the bread. The wife threatened to make some, but couldn't find any yeast. Of course, working from home decreases sammich consumption, so the need is reduced. What really triggered it was Jambalaya for dinner last night. Sourdough and Cajun were made for each other.

My better half made sourdough yesterday using whole-wheat flour. The kids hated it and I still have a metallic taste in my mouth (after eating a bunch). Because the hoarders have upset the balance for normal things.

She's got a yeast starter kit on the way.
