Awesome Henry!

Did you find a mechanic who could fix it?

yep...one alternator, one power steering fluid pump, and I'm a road rat again

Excellent, new belt too?

serpentine? no, that was replaced a few months back...
 

...along with other stuff.

I think I'm done making all the demolition cuts.

I'm *sure* I'm done for the night.

hot tub plus bourbon plus good music == good time

good night.

That's better.

I made a small crack this morning in Minifob's neverending negativity about his physical size. (Hint: all the people telling my son that "his time will come," or "he'll have a growth spurt soon," or "nobody grows at the same rate" is not helpful, because it reinforces the idea that being tall is important and necessary and inevitable. He will not be, and he needs to become at peace with that, not add fuel to the disappointment by pushing it into the future.)

Anyway, the angle I took this morning was that professionally funny people are often at physical extremes--either extremely tall, or else extremely short. See Kevin Hart, Jon Stewart, Danny Devito, Patton Oswalt... He was (at least briefly) pleased to consider that being short might be a necessary side effect of being a performer.

Buster Keaton was under 5'5" and wore a 6 1/2 shoe.

Tell him to look up actuarial tables for tall people.

And remind him that big people are a waste of energy. ;)

Dropper down, clean decent, nailed the split logs... extreme forest bathing I guess.

Grav's back

Now cut that out!:D

Sorry, no can do.

I'm happy to see Gravdigr back in the cellar again.
