Our dogs have decided to start howling when the ice cream van comes to our street. A serenade, if you like.

Indeed. Twisting those pins to a male port, with good pin contact and not touching adjacent pins, would be a feat I’d like to see. OP’s picture is just par for the course.

Now lets see the same hack but for the port above.

Work after a week off is always busier catching up with things. By Tuesday afternoon I felt in need of another break. By the end of the week things were back to normal and the brief break long forgotten. On with the grind it is.

How was your week?

I was off work, which was great. Even better, we saw Alter Bridge on Wednesday.

The setlist was awesome and they played great, as usual. When the first notes of Silent Divide hit in the beginning, every single hair in my arms was standing straight. On the downside, now I’ve had an ear worm since the concert.

Oof. That’s worse than suboptimal!

Calm down, kids. These issues were resolved a longtime ago by ASN.1

I do once or twice per winter. It doesn’t grow much, though.

I’ve been intending to cut the grass, but I’m worried the lawnmower will sink if I try. It’s been raining that much.

Forgot to mention, I will offer Ardbeg Uigeadail as a preparatory sedative. The only condition is you need to take it neat.

Would it make more enticing if I was to say my wife is a retired dentist?

When will the wet weather stop. I have a lawn that needs moving and few other things to do in the garden that aren’t happening at the moment.

Getting the complaint out of the way, I’m off this week. I was looking forward to Friday whole of last week. Alter Bridge to look forward to and wife’s birthday too. (In that priority order, mind)

Mate, I have really good pliers, so I can save you couple of tons. DM me.

It sounds like you overdid your workout badly last weekend.

After good several years, I started again going to the gym late last year. At my age one needs to be careful to avoid causing more harm than good. So far no major aches or pains, and happily a noticeable improvement in the way my body (or what’s left of it) works.

Saturday was lovely with bright sunshine through the day. The contrast with the past several weeks was remarkable.

Sadly Sunday was back to grey and damp. On Sunday evening I found myself wondering how bloody bored must I be to be watching curling!

For reasons that remain beyond my comprehension, company Christmas party was organised in Revolution one year. For me it became two visits in one go, first and last. Good riddance.

The muddy walks season is at its peak. We have two energetic dogs that need their walks, and right now all the decent paths around here are more or less covered in mud. That’s probably the same everywhere this time of the year.

After tasting 23 different bean brands, I tell you what else got tested ca. 12-18 hours later: the local sewers.
