I just dragged my broken carcass out of bed. Every fibre of my being is crying. Even my glutes hurt. A lot. I can now confirm that edge sanding is a far superior workout as compared to anything else out there. Shit, I feel like I just completed an Iron Man triathlon.
Whoever told me that the edge sanding was the worst part of this experience was absolutely spot-on. I now hate sanding floors. And I've got at least a 5th day of sanding. Not too bad for a planned 2 day project.
This is a bird strike on a commercial jet airliner, @darrenoneill & @ThatLARRYSHOW. Planes wad up like tissue paper. There is pretty much zero chance jet airliners dropped the Twin Towers. And then, there's WTC7. BBC said it dropped 25 minutes before it fell. Also pancaked into its footprint. Allegedly from a fire that melted one column that brought the whole joint down. Sure, Jan. And the plane that drove into the Empire State Building in 1945 was a B-25 Mitchell. Anyway, back to Planet rage.
@ThatCrazyDude@darrenoneill@ThatLARRYSHOW and then there's the nose cone of the jet that allegedly slammed into the Pentagon that was shown inside the E-Ring. Of course those pics seem to have disappeared down the memory hole. Or the fact the govt confiscated all the video around the Pentagon and only ever released a blurry video that showed nothing but an explosion, from some camel jockey driving a jet into the miraculously empty side, at 10 feet above ground level. But, yes, physics.
@ThatCrazyDude@darrenoneill@ThatLARRYSHOW That's altogether possible. And I'm glad I could entertain you. I entertain myself. Explain WTC7, firey explosions shooting out steel beams every few stories as the buildings came down. Or the eyewitness testimony of firefighters describing multiple explosions, including the basement. And molten steel n the wreckage, days and weeks after the collapse. So, I may be a tard but I know what I saw. I have no answers, but I know the official line is BS.
@ThatCrazyDude@darrenoneill@ThatLARRYSHOW And how about the plane that the passengers drove into the ground in Shanksviille? Vaporized with nary a piece of debris. Save for the debris found miles and miles away. The entire story is hanky. And there's the Professor who destroyed his career insisting he could prove therrmite was used. And then there's all the other experts, like pilots and engineers who said the official narrative is bullshit. But, I'm glad.i could make you feel superior today.😉
@EarlThePearls@jurasick I wouldn't wear a mask, so I couldn't go shopping, nor did I take a 'vaccine' that allowed me into restaurants, or onto planes or trains or the gym or rec centre, so yeah, I was locked down.
Boom! The prospective new tenants came by, signed the lease, and slipped us half a month's rent as security deposit. After 4 months without rental income, and being several thousand over budget (when is a project ever on budget?), I shall sleep the sleep of Kings tonight.
18 1"X8"X16' boards, 19 pieces of 14 feet long corner round, and 2 sheets of half-inch drywall (not shown): $750.00. Owning a truck that can do that: Priceless. Except for gas; I haven't driven it in a week or more, and found today the missus had driven it to near empty. A hundred bucks got me a half tank. Ayaah!
@MartinJJ The load was properly secured with ratchet straps, and flagged, sitting 2 metres past the tailgate. Totally legal in my part of the world. And trucks are pretty much what everyone drives around here. I've used it a hundred times or more for various home projects, including hauling literally tons of gravel, rock, sand, dirt, and building materials. And it took me and my wife on a 14000 km cross-country road trip last summer. Trucks are an indispensable part of life.
@MartinJJ Every stick on that back deck project was brought home in my truck. I'd rather have driven my truck over 30 km of boulder strewn logging roads than a Golf or a Smart car getting to my favourite camping site. And I sure as shit wouldn't want to tow another vehicle with a Golf, either.
@MartinJJ@leyonhjelm Jes simply saying trucks are meant to be worked. Sure, plenty of posers don't use them for that, but plenty more are used as intended. Every brick, bag of cement, yard of sand, and bale of straw that went into my cob oven came home in my truck bed. I've rebuilt my house, from th3 foundation on up, and every piece of material was transported in my truck. I've camped off-grid, towed boats and other vehicles with it. As I mentioned earlier, indispensable.
@Humpleupagus@mrman Stop it! His voice is beautiful! Perhaps one of the most unique voice in all of music history. You need to put on the headphones, close your eyes, and fet with God.
A dude named Ludd. Follow along as I build and rebuild the Carbon Kitchen, my ongoing culinary experiment and experience in my backyard. Maybe some gardening. And the occasional rant. And a bit of RUSH when the mood strikes me. Okay, probably a lot of RUSH.
