Dull Men's Club

Haven't opened them yet.

I do not have photographic evidence of this, so you dull gentlemen will have to take my word for it this time.

And I'm a "mitten of toilet paper" type of guy.

Another year or so to go, sounds like.

Orthodontics have changed so much since the 80s, I’m happy to report.

Our dishwasher didn't pump out water anymore.

Had to get the dirty water out, first with a soupladel, then a cloth and cleaned everything obstructing the pump inlet or whatever it is called. I do clean the filter regularly but I guess the pump had enough of me not prewashing dishes. (I do all the housekeeping)

After cleaning everything out, hoped for the best….started a short program and as soon as it filled with water cancelled the program and it was all good. After did another run with dishes and the dishes came out fine.

My wife has cooled down again, I told her to take it easy but that never ever works, heheh.

He sharpened my knife - did great.

Pic related.

The old ones were pretty old and didn't work well so I'm getting new ones installed. It was on the pricier side of things but It'll be ok, I think. It's pretty noisy but that's no issue to me. The fellas are nice and they're working quicker than I thought they would.

I did a decent job of hiding all the power and internet cables under the shelf, you can only see them if you sit on the floor..

It was easy. I finally got some vinegar and filled it up and let the kettle sit overnight. Rinsed it and gave it a wipe with a wad of paper towel and the scale and residue from the scale is all gone.

Shoulda done it earlier. The wasted psychic energy, every time I peered in and saw the scale…

Toyota's are a joy to work on. Top notch engineering. Everything is easily accessible.

It's been making a "click/pop" sound whenever you accelerate or brake hard. I spent some time investigating but I'm still not sure what's causing that.

Hey! Having some issues with my Ford C-Max (2007) and wanted to ask if anyone's had something similar happen.

So the car starts having trouble when I shift into first and give it a bit of gas - if I give it too little gas it just dies. Now it's started doing the same thing in second gear too. When I first start the car and let it idle, the RPM drops every 10-15 seconds or so (from about 900), but it gets better after running for a while.

Got the yearly checkup recently and everything was fine, but then this started happening. Also got a check engine light that keeps going on and off every other day. It's pretty cold here, like 5 degrees if that matters.

I'm going to take it to a mechanic when I have time but wanted to ask here first if anyone knows what it might be? Maybe the MAF sensor or something with the idle control?

Thanks!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Dull men’s club posts are now at the top.

They are not as good as the old ones.

I go to the dentist annually, brush twice daily and floss 3 or 4 times a week, but man oh man is this electric toothbrush a whole new world...my teeth feel dentist clean each time. By no means was my mouth poorly taken care of, but it feels in a different world now.

If you can, get one ASAP.

I'm still getting into the swing of sharpening chisels and plane irons. Woodworking is a science, sharpening is an art, a dark and arcane one.

I really don't know why. I don't take that many notes. When I'm in meetings, I've been telling people I color code my notes. But honestly, I have just been switching pens at random.. I'm never going to use all this ink before they dry up, and it's going to be a pain to clean them all. Normally, I'll only have one or two inked at a time.

It was alright. I wore my special boots today because I thought I had to go to court, but I didn't. So I came home and walked to the liquor store. I bought a fifth of Svedka in a plastic bottle and have been drinking it with club soda.

Already did my usual 16 mile physical therapy routine, so I did it again. Haven't gone over 26 miles in ~3 years. Me and the cats, dead in a bed rn, 2 brain cells between the three of us
