    Last thing watched on netflix / Amazon..................

    Watched “Spencer” on Netflix over the weekend. Not sure if it’s supposed to be an official reboot of the old “Spencer for Hire” TV show, but Marky Mark is Spencer and his black partner is Hawk, so.... It was pretty good. Kind of a “Die Hard” vibe...action flick with some amusing bits.

    2019 Novel Coronavirus

    How is it any more complicated than that? Pretty good chance that, out of 7 million people, there are going to be a few that end up getting cancer. Are we now supposed to jump to the conclusion that the vaccine also causes cancer?

    2019 Novel Coronavirus

    Your chances of developing that type of blood clot while just walking down the street is 5 is 1,000,000. Since Fauci’s saying you chances are 1 in 1,000,000 with the shot, by his logic, the J&J vaccine actually prevents blood clots.

    2019 Novel Coronavirus

    Don't even get me started. Every time the CDC/Fauci opens their mouth, it makes me think they're only concerned with spreading panic and staying in the spotlight. According to Johns Hopkins, CVST (the blood clots they're talking about) is rare but affects 5 out of 1,000,000 every year. There...

    2019 Novel Coronavirus

    Wife got her second shot yesterday. She said she didn’t feel any worse than usual, but something seemed a little off with her this morning. I just can’t put my finger on what....

    2019 Novel Coronavirus

    To be fair, adamantium claws/skeleton aren’t really a mutant ability. Your best bet is healing powers and then hope some secret Gov’t organization can hook you up with claws. I get the J&J shot on Sunday. Hopefully the superpower potential is still there with the single shot.

    Baseball 2021

    Back at the ballpark for another season. Definitely a lot nicer with fans, albeit limited, back in the stadium. GABP has people situated in pods this year so "ungrouped" people aren't sitting together. Technically, people are supposed to be wearing their masks at all times but that went out the...

    The Automotive Thread

    Stupid millennials. Ended up making a few fixes to the stepdaughter's car over the last couple weeks...new speakers up front and fixed the lid on the center console. They asked if they could borrow our minivan to take down to Florida so we swapped cars and I got to drive a Mazda 3 for a while...

    Last thing watched on netflix / Amazon..................

    I feel cheated. I've been seeing the previews for the new "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" and I could have sworn it was being advertised as a movie, but it's another mini-series ala "WandaVision". Now it's waiting a week between episodes again. First episode was a little slow, but I kind of...

    Happy St. Patrick's Day

    Technically, we're Scottish on my mom's side so that kilt is actually the clan tartan, but it's still a good excuse to wear it.

    Happy St. Patrick's Day

    Another thing that's a little disappointing about being on full-time telework, I don't get a chance to wear my kilt in to work. I would usually wear it for St. Paddy's Day at the VA and everyone would get a kick out of it. Hey, there wasn't anything in our safety regs about guys having to wear...

    Home Improvement/Repair Questions

    I'm guessing the steel beams are definitely used...or at least leftovers from some other construction. When I was checking online for bridge ideas, that was the suggestion a lot of guys made, looking for surplus steel. I'm definitely more well equipped to work with wood rather than steel, but...

    Home Improvement/Repair Questions

    When I framed in the carport to make it into a garage at my old house, I made the header for the garage door with 1/2 ply sandwiched between a couple 2x8's wood glued and screwed together. Trying to see if something similar would work in this case although over ~20' vs 7'. If I want to get the...

    Home Improvement/Repair Questions

    What kind of weight do you suppose 4 or 5 doubled up 2x8’s with 1/2” plywood sandwiched in between would support over a 20’ span? I’ve started cleaning up another section of the back yard and found what might be a decent spot to get a little bridge across the creek. I haven’t started clearing...

    Last thing watched on netflix / Amazon..................

    So, Saturday night there wasn't a whole lot on so we had on channel 5 because the wife like "The Voice" and they've been showing hour long versions of previous episodes of Saturday Night Live before the regular SNT comes on at 11:30. In between they replayed the 1st episode of "Debris". Junk...

    The Cooking Thread

    Jack was talking about one of the meals he made from HelloFresh. Did a quick search and found out you can still get all the recipes even if you're not active anymore. They're the .pdf's that come with the meals so they have ingredients, quantities and the prep steps. All you get with paying for...

    2019 Novel Coronavirus

    Welp, it got us....maybe. Took Ezra to Childrens this morning for some same day touch up work done. We tried to get him tested 2 days before per the instructions they sent but couldn’t because they didn’t put an order in the system. When they checked with the Dr. he said we didn’t need one since...

    2019 Novel Coronavirus

    Per the 'safety pause' Zoom meeting that I'm currently sitting in. No federal gov't agency is going to require employees to get the vaccine....it is strongly recommended, but not mandatory.

    Anybody want to talk about WandaVision? (Spoilers!!!)

    I believe so. Dir. said she stole his body, but the flashback shows that’s not the case. I’m assuming they (SWORD) put him back together after she left and that’s him mid-credit getting a Wanda jumpstart ala Frankenstein. I think Agatha is saying that everything Westview is in Wanda’s head. She...
