What old farts do for entertainment on snow storm days



It took awhile to get the chickens to line up and hold still in this pattern, but...….

Then I remembered that we've had our windows open the last few days, and I took the dogs out this morning at 6 in shorts and a t-shirt.

I like how you have the lemon and lime juice containers acting as separators, but I'm surprised that you didn't swap the lemon into the middle spot for a more symmetric arrangement.

I find something I like on YouTube, usually music of some type like Ry Cooder, Russian women piano players or music of the Andes. I will capture several hours worth with a software program that captures video memory. Then I'll assemble 1.5 to 2 hours to make a movie of MKV format with another program. Both of those I renew the license each year about $50 for both. Beats the hell out of shoveling snow!

I have a pile of stuff in the basement...multi outlet boxes that need new receptacles...old lamps that need new bits....a craftsman drill that needs a new trigger.

I replaced the suspension on my 85 911 during one snow storm. Well, I got it all removed and and vividly remember that feeling of what the heck have you done you idiot, when I looked at my car on jack stands with no suspension. It all went back on just fine over the next few weekends.

I was told that putting the eggs in the door of the refrigerator is bad. Apparently the opening and closing of the door can damage the eggs and reduce their freshness or something. Dunno if it’s true but it kind of makes sense.

You flip the eggs over as you rotate them 1-6-2-4-3-5 (x 3) like a 911 valve adjustment, every third day. You just do....

When ya notice ya got 2 extra cylinders....oh crap
