    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    It isn't that long ago that you got out of a pretty serious and long-term relationship, right? I think you'd be a fool if you felt no anxiety. Being aware of it is good, as Soy said, and I think even better is talk to her about it. Tell her you're feeling anxiety, that it's not rational, and...

    Or just cut it with a chain saw and then sand the dickens out of it. That would work, too.

    Just had some Eh! Burger. It seems to be a chain only in northern Michigan. Burgers were fantastic, so was the white-fish basket. If you see it, get some.

    The Fishing Thread

    Pike are fun to pull in, but so many bloody bones, they're kinda crap eating. Unless they're monsters I typically don't keep them. The kids think anything bigger than a minnow is a trophy fish, though. If any of you have kids, fishing with them is a fantastic way to spend time. Lots of...

    ugh. I feel for you. I don't care for really hot weather, and that sounds like hell. But I'm curious about cold water from the tap - you're on city water? Where is their reservoir? At home we're on a well, so let the faucet run a while, and you get 50 degree ground water. It's awesome. Not...

    Weather

    I am grooving on the weather in the UP. We're up by Lake Superior, and it's cooling off to about 55 F (12 C) at night. Open the windows of the lodge and sleep like a rock. Was going to go out on the lake this morning, but there are six food waves. We'll wait until tomorrow.

    The Fishing Thread

    I'm up in the Michigan UP and went fishing yesterday in a little lake. Conditions were perfect! We collectively (4 of us fishing) pulled out 40 something small mouth bass, a bunch of various panfish, and three pike. We kept the largest small mouth bass and had a fricking delicious fish fry that...

    That only runs when I need it. Other than that, it's a super-insulated building that is incredibly quiet, and has a bank of north-facing windows to give me a nice, soft natural light. I love it out there.

    There are other reasons why this might be a good thing for some people. If all you can afford is a shit-hole apartment with a stupid room mate, taking/making calls and video conferences won't work. If you do something that requires huge amounts of uploads, and this place offers premium upload...

    Hey, Vanessa, I don't say a lot in this thread, and I'm generally farting around and joking, but I legit have a great deal of respect for you. We're a bunch of chuckle-heads, and you pretty patiently answer questions honestly and in a way that is relate-able. So, thanks. I've learned quite a bit...

    It's not to hard to pull up a few shingles uphill of the vent stack, put in your new flashing, and tack the old shingles back down. You don't have to take them out, just loosen them so your flashing is under the old shingles. I've done this a fair few times, and have never had leaks. Just be...

    Yeah, but where is the water going? How is it getting to the waste lines? Even with a bad ball valve, there should be some visible presentation of water. This is very curious. The water has to be getting to the waste line somehow. Track that down first, then we can trouble shoot.
