  1. Have a phenomenal day, and come on back around!
  2. Uhm, yeah, again today, because they came and told me they had fresh Halibut.
  3. Swag day at work...
  4. One of the employees of the bookstore I'm working on is also an employee of HookFish across the street. I bought us both lunch, because he gets a 50% discount.
  5. It's projects like these that keep me loving my chosen career path after some 40 years. On a sad note, I received my first negative criticism from clients this week. And it was from two gay men. It was a project that I didn't have a whole lot to do with, but have been there several times to do some small finish projects and knock off items on their punch list. They've turned in at least a dozen punch lists over a few months time, even though they've been asked to look everything over and get all concerns covered on one list. They've also signed off on many of the items I've completed from those lists. Yesterday my boss Ciaran showed me a text where they actually asked him specifically not to send me to their house anymore, as many items on the list I've only made worse. Ciaran has explained to me that he believes they're trying to not pay the balance of what's left on their contract, and therefore trying to create issues that don't exist. While I know that happens, it still hurts my feelings. Not only have I not received any negative reviews from clients before, they usually sing my praises to the bosses. Ciaran told me it's ridiculous and they can fuck off. He's personally seen the work I've performed there, still I can't help obsessing over it. I feel betrayed by my own people. Bitchy, little queens! Funny enough, Kathryn, the owner of the bookstore was there when he read the text to me. She's was furious, and has been stewing over it more than myself. Several times today she's pointed out things I've done that she says are works of art. She knows that it bothers me. Stupid I know, but it upsets me that they're more than willing to smear my reputation over a few dollars that they know they actually owe.
  6. I had previously talked about the bookstore I'm working on. It's almost open for business and I thought I'd show a few of the projects. The shelves are all solid Cyprus. The boardwalk in the back is Redwood, as is the planter/benches. I didn't build the shed, but had to completely dismantle, move and reassemble it. Honestly, it would have been easier to just build a new one.
  7. Yep. Worth the watch.
  8. I'm about 20 minutes into Season 1, episode 1 of Pieces of Her. Already I can tell that this is going to be good. Toni Collette is so good!
  9. Sorry for your loss Todd.
  10. Do we have the technology to remotely poison Putin's dick? That way the next time he has it up Trumps ass, we can kill two birds with one stone.
  11. I think the best fish and chips I've had to date was a week ago at Hook Fish Co., in the city, outer sunset. Now I'm seeing they have one in Mill Valley. I know where I'm having lunch tomorrow!
  12. Happy Birthday Nate!!!! Hoping you have a fantastic day! Go and cut some round circle holes!
  13. Have an amazing day!
  14. I can remember at around age 14, our heating oil tank running dry in February. Not only was it dick shriveling cold, but our water well pump was also heated via heating oil. So of course the pump froze. This required bringing up buckets of water from the creek in the backyard, which was only partially thawed due to the speed of the running water. Not having enough time to heat the water, we'd dip our heads in the bucket, lather up with shampoo then my Mom would pour this freezing water over our scalps to rinse. It felt like a million tiny, frozen needles. Good times!
  15. Size queen!!!
  16. Honestly, I'm kind of impressed with her artist abilities.
  17. Happy Birthday Naaman!
  18. Yeah, I had the Note 9. This S22 Ultra is as big as that phone and has the pen. It's essentially a Note.
  19. Well with the $700 loyalty discount and the $400 trade in for my old Note 9, this phone was $100. That made it a no brainer for me.
  20. Got my new Samsung S22 Ultra and I'm learning the new features. So far I'm really liking it.
  21. Leave it to Naaman to have Walnut cabinets in his shop. When do the Wenge floors get installed?
  22. Will the other 696 outlets also be within 2' of the panel?
  23. I had to scrape a 16th of an inch of ice off of my windshield this morning. Still, remembering the 6 month Alaskan winters, I just think how lucky I am to only need to do that 2 - 3 times a year.
  24. Have a fantastic day!
