Anyone else paying attention to the 42nd anniversary of the first broadcast of the radio series of Hitchhiker's Guide? Just listened to a rerun of Douglas Adams on Desert Island Discs. It's going to be a good week of radio listening.

Quote 33 is relevant and, of course, quote 42.

Love that they are doing this on the 42nd anniversary because, well ....."Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything"

It's still the answer, nobody has come up with a better one. DON'T PANIC!

But do you know why he chose 42?
Because I do.

Wiki says because 42 is the street address for Stavromula Beta in Mostly Harmless.

I had forgotten about the internet when I asked the question.  But in the spirit of the 1980's I'll acknowledge your answer but ask the question again,  why 42? 

No peeking on Google lads.

After 9 weeks of work, the landscaping project at the house is complete. Hallelujah!

5. "I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I do not no the answer." I still answer inane questions with the answer 32 instead of 42. Folk who know Hitchhiker's Guide get that I'm just messing with them, the others are just pre-millennials.

Leftfield suggestion.  Wildly inaccurate though.

Whenever I have a celebration meal, it’s a retaining belt that I need.

It’s been 25 years since that night... and that stuff still sends a shiver down my spine every time I think about it.

Just replaced the blade on my edger in about three minutes, and I feel like the manliest man to ever walk the Earth.

I replaced the eraser on my mechanical pencil.

@DoubleEgger. Looks fantastic Mike.

@DoubleEgger: Looks great. Did you get someone in, or DIY?

Thanks. DIY?!  LOL. This was way beyond DIY at my age. Between 4-8 workers were here since the beginning of the year. They had to hand break all of that stone. Those stone walls took forever to build.

Spoken like a young 40-something going on 60. 😉

Given that my neck needs spinal fusion, that’s a very fair statement.

That does not sound good for the golf game or anything else for that matter. Hopefully it will result in a pain free, mostly normal lifestyle.

This was actually yesterday. So glad it’s nice enough to finally cook out front and fire up the PK360. Broccoli cheddar turkey meatloaf with dizzy dust on top. Browned the top then covered till 145 then took it out of the pan and added some bourbon sugar maple blockz. Good lunches for a couple days.
