My sister flung a rock up and cracked her watch. 

My yard guys threw a rock while they were edging and cracked the driver side door window on my brand new truck.  Sadly I couldn't prove they did it.  

They should have owned up to it. You call them out?   I had a landscape company and we did the same thing through a bay window, dudes security system called him before I knew what happened 

I didn't have any proof that it was them, but it had to be them.  I have since installed cameras and such around the house.  His prices are so cheap I don't want to fire him.  $35 a week to take care of the yard.  He has never raised his prices.

Rescued another IP from the landfill. Only problem was the damaged lid with melted plastic that prevented it from closing...

easy fix...

wouldn't have happened if the previous owner knew to rest the lid in either handle's slot instead of on a hot stove...

Nice to have an emergency backup or cooking multiple dishes, e.g. yogurt making ties up our IP for eight hours.

So deep into cooking that you think about having an “emergency backup” iP.

@GrateEggspectations haha, see my edit ^^^ re yogurt making. Yes our IP needed emergency circuit board solder fix when we had all the ingredients ready to go.

@Canugghead

Your explanation in no way attenuates my sentiment.

It’s effin hot

Wimping out and realizing those laps of the sun bring a whole host of downsides as has been posted on the forum but I was out in 91*F (air temp-F' heat index) and was getting my a$$ handed to me.  Not like the days when I could run in this heat/humidity for many miles and enjoy it.

I don't know how those in the desert SW manage it other than to revert to covid behaviour (nod) and stay inside.

But I would rather hot than cold regarding air temperature.  FWIW-

Did you know a microwave will not heat up ice?

Finding out there should be more teachable moments…

Stumbled across this last evening, truck had Iowa plates on it, no one was around so I don't know the backstory...

@dbCooper

Had you not specified Iowa, I would have thought maybe @glennm got in on a piece of that.

I miss this during sweet corn season in Illinois.  Was a regular occurrence.

Just finished up work and taking the afternoon off to begin celebrating my birthday. I turned 54 today so I’m going to contemplate life with the help of this cocktail. Cheers friends.

With such a deep mission in mind, you may need to repeat the pour. Happy birthday!

@Ragingirishman2 - congratulations on the successful completion of another lap of the sun.  It is way more than one cocktail hot out there.  Enjoy the day and celebration.

Just got back from a week in Mammoth/Yosemite. It is a great place, especially if you get out to the spots that aren’t “touristy”. Other than the beach, there is no other place I’d rather be.

Beautiful, years ago we had a project at the Tonopah Test Site , 2 year project and the best part was driving through that area every week

@Battleborn way to get out and enjoy the surroundings.  Spectacular, however, like you I will always vote for the ocean beach.  A great way to recharge for the daily unscripted challenges you and your family face. 

Your community and us here appreciate all that you do for their safety and well-being.

When we first moved to Nevada, I worked for ~8 months at the Naval Underwater Warfare Center in Hawthorne, NV. We spent a lot of time in Yosemite during that time on the weekends that I didn’t commute back to Vegas. There is a ton of area to explore.
