TIL

Some things I learned:

If you purchase pork chops prior to July 24th, you should freeze them before August 12th.

Good thing I had some fillets, actually one more than I needed. So I had fillet matignon . Sounds fancy doesn't? It was really good. Google it if you don't know what it is.

Also had red beans and rice. You can't go wrong with red beans and rice.

Yum!

Project Finale

Ok.

I know some of you thought I'd never finish, but I have.

I learned some things since the last update:

You should use gloves when staining.

This makes clean up much easier.







I stained the shelf board.

and glued and stapled the magazine racks to the board.












The final project looks like this:


Found out that the board is really warped, so no rolling objects.

I don't want to be a Superhero

So yea,

As a kid, we all wish to be a superhero. Watched Iron Man 3 the other day, good movie and yes it would be cool to have the suit. Imagine the things you could do. Fly!, take bullets like superman, do anything you want.

I want Jarvis. Really how cool would it be to have a computer that answers your every need. Siri doesn't even come close.

What's with drivers

I guess I've lived long enough now.

I've been witness to two wrecks of poor drivers in the last couple of months and the other day I noticed, as I was being passed like I was sitting still, that the vast majority of the offenders were disabled vets. Now I'm a disabled vet and I try to drive responsibly, but this was really disturbing to me.

I won't even get into the the number that were on the phone or texting at 6:00am.

Reverse Groundhog Day

OK.

So I was thinking, I do love winter and technically its winter (Jan), but it was 71 today. Now that's not winter. But being in South Texas you rarely get a true winter day, EVER! So is that reverse groundhog day? Probably not.

I'm watching Big Bang Theory, and I've noticed that everyone sleeps on their back perfectly in the center of their bed. No one does that! I sleep on my side and toss and turn all night long, and don't get me started on my wife.

Random thoughts, groundhog day and tokyo scallions.
