You missed gray striped shirts.
What an incredible memory remembering that wide range of topics covered. I don't remember prepaid funerals though.
When we went they said if we paid today the price would be locked in and wouldn't increase with inflation.
I told them it didn't matter if I paid after, it would cost me less, because then it wouldn't come out of my bank account, it would come out of the inheritance money.

Haven't been to Esoteric yet, but that's only 10 minutes from my house. I've heard good things.
Wiedemann is doing some good stuff, as long as you stay away from the flagship beer. I swear that doesn't taste any better than it did in the '70s. Also, crappy food, the couple of times we went. My friends from St. Bernard can't get past the funeral home part. lol.
If you go to Urban Artifact, check out Brink Brewing on the way, in College Hill. It's very good.

wife complained that her sink (master bath, dual vanities) was draining slow. Did not seem too bad to me after a quick run, so I told her to just not let the water run and waste money. 2 problems solved that way IMO. Let's just say, suggestion did not go over well.
so this morning she emptied out much of the stuff under the sink (looked more like someone emptied out a storage unit, but I digress...) so I got some equipment out (work gloves, dog towel, snake) and dismantled the trap pieces (the plastic compression fittings you turn by hand). Man, was there a lot of stinky sludge in there, and my little drain snake kept pulling more out. I am surprised water was draining at all. But, I got it cleared out pretty well (nothing more was coming out where I could reach) so I put it all back together. Doesn't even seem to be leaking, and doesn't appear I broke anything! And now I know what 10 years of collected hair in the drain from a woman with a lot of it looks like.
I told her that next time her drain was running slow, we either were selling the house or she can clean it out.
not a hard or time consuming job, and I am certainly too cheap to pay someone $75 to do it, but must be nice to be a rich guy like Driver that thinks nothing of calling the guy for something like that.

I did install a water trough extender and a track to carry the water away from the foundation.....this week.

I’ve already had to do the shower drain in the new house. Luckily it wasn’t too bad and my improvised coat hanger snake worked.

Rinse and repeat.
2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
I watched much of the Masters that was still played in Georgia. I always am doing something else. Today I was trying to get the extra DIMM module from my laptop where I ungraded memory into my wife's laptop to increase the memory. I also have a small SSD to install for her. She'll have a real Corvette after I finish. I can't just sit and watch golf. I read or do something else: double tasking.
Always some thrilling moments in the major tournaments. Today was no exception. Talking hosts are obnoxious, as usual.
2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
not this one (can't seem to find the one I have now, and I need to replace it since the gripper head is falling apart) but this is the same basic concept.

anyway, in the old days, they sent you an invite and told you what morning to show up at the courthouse in Camden, and you spent the day in a huge room lined with uncomfortable chairs and way too many people. Unless you got unlucky and got sent to a courtroom. At some point, they ran out of juries to seat and sent you home. A particularly inefficient use of people's time.
now, they assign you your day, and tell you to be online at a certain hour (haven't gotten those instructions yet). They also sent via Email a link to a questionnaire about the tech you have (wifi, data plan, laptop, zoom experience, etc.) So I guess an easy out is to say you have no way to get onto the internet!
so the process seems to be you hang out at home connected to the internet (so far, sounds like every other day...) and if they need you you have to zoom in for jury picking. And if you are really unlucky and get put on a jury, might have to go in to the courthouse at some point, or do some of it from home.
Going to be weird. Hopefully I will avoid getting picked.

BTW. Running hot water slowly for a couple minutes in advance usually softens the goop.
2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
I finally got my doctor to write an excuse note.
The last time I ended up in the jury call it was for a case where the crook was obviously guilty, both from the news and from my assessment of his body language and other mannerisms I saw during the jury seating. I was able to squeeze out of that one although I was in the final 18 or so.

In 1998, my wife was on jury duty for 90 days, but we moved out of the county, before she could be called for an actual trial. Then, a year later, she was selected for the grand jury in the new county.
But, not me..

That would have been interesting.
Only been called for jury duty once at the county level - my number didn't come up, so I didn't have to go in.

A good way to clean inside of garbage disposal is to fill it with ice cubes. That's after I use paper towels and plastic glove to physically wipe the inside of the disposal that I can reach. Spin the disposal for a few seconds. Then let it sit. Then add a little running water and turn it on again occasionally. The shards of flying ice will really scour the inside.
This hint comes from an old appliance repairman (no, not me) that has done a radio show helping callers for decades. He's the same one that says to use TANG added to the wash cycle of your dishwasher to clean it; that's when it gets to the actual cycle where it heats up after opening the soap dispenser. Put in the "whole " jar of Tang.
Son and DIL have a house where the open floor plan and a basement built to be finished mean that the drains for the kitchen, including the garbage disposal, have very little pitch running across the width of the home in the basement before getting to the outside drain.
My son realized that potato skins through the disposal don't deteriorate or pulp up very well and can block the drain. I got a bottle of a bacteria and enyme material at Lowes plumbing dept. You put in a capful with a little hot water in any drain. Let it stand then. It starts bacteria level and enzymes to eat at oils, fats, potato peelings, that are lying in the pipe. It's similar to putting bacteria loads into septic tanks to speed the sludge digestion.

He was upset lately because he paid $24000 for a used Rogue. Somehow the car got hit about 2 months after he got it...his version, but he probably did it himself, and the car was a write-off. He was extremely upset that the insurance company only gave him $22000 for it. I could explain it to him but life is better since I stopped talking to him.

I found the CPO binder that was created for the 06 Passat I bought. The date on the report was my birthday 5/9! Looking at the paperwork I paid $800 more for the 06 than I did the 18 Passat I currently have.

I've long joked about the "jury of your peers" line with the idea that my peers are the ones who get out of jury duty
