    Hope the three cups of coffee and two tylenol help me withstand this meeting. Some meetings are so overkill and a waste of brain cells.

    Meetings should be either conducted standing or in a plank position.

    Get to the point quickly and let's be done in a few minutes...usually all they need because after that it's usually just hot air.

    That is why I only have 1 chair in my office, if you are coming to bother me or ask too many questions you are not going to sit down and get comfortable.

    A dreaded Monday...the morning fiasco to come home to....kitchen fridge has died during canning season.
    Thank God for a drink/holiday basement side by side and 2 upright freezers.
    BTW ..dang near impossible to find a " local" repair guy...and frig. Prices certainly haven't come down. Not how I wanted to have to clean refrigerator . Chickens and turkey will eat well today.

    Seriously, let's just skip this week
    Find a repair guy for fridge. Comes in very professional, takes off back looks inside and says that's not good we have a problem. Nope that's not fixable...$106 .00 15 mins later and need a new fridge....lol

    I ordered a rebuild kit for my accelerator pump for the go fast boat. It is shipping from Florida after the first day it disappears in the tracking, so I place an order at another company paid for expedited shipping. Wouldn't you know it the package I wrote off as lost arrives on the same day as the one I paid to have rushed.

    Installing the SOB every thing is compact in big outboards, have to be patient and go slow and get it right by tomorrow night when my son and his friends show up for a weekend of skiing and skullduggery as well as tomfoolery.

    Bots, any online question site, a trusted mechanic will chat to help you, it is a bot and a waste of time, I just wanted to positively identify the carb drain screws. I asked what time it was, do not ask me if I need help rebuilding a watch.

    Youtube search is better than google in them instances. Or if using google, refine the search by video. Use carb part number in the search as well.

    I oftentimes find searching for what I need by searching for what I don't need works better.

    Rather than searching for drain screw identification etc. search for winterizing/storing or rebuilding (carb part number), and a lot of times they will identify all parts of the carb somewhere in the vid.

    Or when you have a brain fart and spot spray your pampered irrigated lawn with the kill all spray not the lawn weed spray.

    Modern commercials are filled with androgynous characters. It's hilarious. Not sure if the companies want to be seen as inclusive or are scared to get canceled if they promote the wrong race or sex.

    So according to the AMA you the tax payers need to have your funds go to TRANSPLANTING UTERUI INTO BIOLOGIC MEN so they can give birth... to the tune of hundreds of thousand dollars. BTW by C Section where said uterus is then removed again.

    Think on that a bit as you look at your taxes
