    Home Improvement

    Yeah I’m totally on board with replacing it, we’re 5-7 years still in this house. It was just with the new furnace and we just did the home generator, and additional $10k right now was a little much. Maybe I can shop that part around next year. I guess that isn’t something that the home...

    Furnace Update… We’re going to replace the existing 1995 unit with a Trane S8V2 and larger than the existing 60k BTU to 80k. So along with the dual stage and variable motor maybe we’ll see some improvement with heating upstairs. They also suggested to replace the ductwork because it is all...

    That looks real nice! I still have all the hardware for the Paul Sellers Router Plane kit. Haven’t found the time to make it yet though. I’d feel bad picking this up and not using the hardware I have sitting here.

    I know Rockler has options you can custom configure, such as below. Different shapes, sizes, etc. Being Rockler it, of course, isn’t cheap. I just picked a random link, not that you’re looking for a mitre station. https://www.rockler.com/rockler-rock-steady-miter-saw-stand-kit

    You wouldn't, that's why you take off 90% with that and then do the finish on the sled and don't worry about the surfacing bit getting bogged down. I mean, you can do it all with this... people do it and it is the same as a manual hand plane, just more aggressive. But I've tried to use it for...

    You could consider a belt sander or electric hand planar? I'm notoriously bad with both tools and ruin things more than fix them, but have seen YouTube videos of people proficient knocking down a lot of rough stuff and finishing off with the surfacing bit. Hell, I hate my electric planar so...

    The Broken Empire Trilogy. Best series of all time

    Unfortunately I also have a habit of picking up books, usually signed and limited runs of series that I really really like. It started with Malazan and now extends to Sanderson and a couple of others. This series I really did like and intended to have a matched numbered set, but somehow missed...

    Depending on their numbers and speed they can get it replaced, I’m thinking this is what I’ll do. If the kiddo wasn’t involved, it wasn’t already 30 degrees, and I wasn’t having shoulder surgery next week, we’d have time for me to tinker with it. But because of all that plus the existing age it...

    2023-2024 College Football. And then there were 4

    No idea why we keep trying to make Ashford a thing. Auburn isn’t playing well but neither is Alabama. Some questionable calls by the refs. Going down to the last possession. Typical Iron Bowl.

    The Broken Empire Trilogy. Best series of all time

    I'm selling my slipcase Prince of Thorns if anyone here is interested. It was $200 new, never read or really taken out of slipcase except for photo. If anyone is interested give me a shout. Never did pick up the other two books and I'm not interested in an unmatched set to be honest. I liked...

    I can't promise anything with regards to Blue Gender. It was just the first thing that popped in my head. I haven't even seen it since it aired and I was drunk in college. But I did finish the series and my opinion didn't change. Overall I thought it was excellent.

    There’s a FSBO about half a mile from us, across the street from the elementary school where our son goes, and the only public school with 100 miles worth sending a kid to. It just recently dropped to $150k and has been sitting on the market for a while. Really wondering what is going on with it...

    I think Expeditionary Force and RC Bray is pretty much my gold standard for pulp audiobook. All of them were just fun to listen to, so much so that I’ve started using credits on just about anything RC Bray narrates. Speaking of… Finished listening to Tribe by Jeremy Robinson (narrated by...

    Yeah I can agree with all those. Will have to see how this one wears long term. Should be delivered today. Didn’t pick it up in shop bc online there was a 10% code and there wasn’t enough time to get back down there before leaving Nashville. There were big differences in the feels of the waxes...

    Wanted a new jacket and have spent the last few weeks trying on a bunch of different things. Pretty hard decision and one I wasn't going to make before trying them on in person.

    Scavengers Reign

    Pretty sold after the first episodes. It is this crazy blend of old MTV Liquid Television (Aeon Flux, Max, etc) and early Adult Swim (Seaquest, Blue Gender,Venture Bros, Metalaocalypse) and a couple of other things. It really is pretty amazing I think, so far.

    John Cena has a series of kids books with an electric monster truck named Elbow Grease. Normally I’d say no way did John Cena actually write these, but some of the writing is questionable and seems like maybe he did contribute. Kid likes them and loves monster trucks. I’ve introduced him to the...

    Idea came from the Book of Daniel from Old Testament as a science fiction story. It is Space Opera. Expanse was more tied to / grounded with Earth history. This is more disconnected and independent, but still has humans. And aliens. August 6th, 2024 publish date. Trilogy.

    The Talos Principle 2

    This game feels odd on PS5, but I’m not quite sure how. Maybe it is an odd FOV, slight hitching or inconsistent frame time? Something just makes it not feel smooth and almost distracting. It really doesn’t feel next gen, at least the first area. Not judging it based on the tutorial area, but do...
