Alright, I think I've rallied back. Still damn tired though.

Hitting it with mucinex and theraflu this morning. I think I'm gonna have to bail on doing all day tomorrow for overtime, just get that 4 hours done early tomorrow and call it a good haul.

Got rid of the stainless steel skillets. Didn't care for em. Maybe if we were doing the whole flambe thing, it would be different.

A guy at work is STILL going on about phantom 2,000 dollar stimulus checks coming from Trump.

I have a pet theory that seeing that covid stimulus check with his name on it permanently broke certain people's brains.

Starting to feel a bit run down and whatnot, might be time to load up on vitamin c and mucinex and whatnot.

Really hoping this is his version of the shit is coming unglued all around him like in Goodfellas.

Sorely tempted to bust out my raspberry sour beer now, but I'm gonna wait until it's conditioned more. Gotta be patient. Good beer comes to those who wait.

They're doing the same shit as when he talked tariffs last year. No, it's not a good idea. It will absolutely drive up prices. Why is any of this ever treated seriously?

Most first-time homebuyers in the United States take out 30-year mortgages. Under a new proposal from the Trump administration, they may soon have an even longer loan option.

Started donating plasma again. Last Friday I was doing errands right by the place, they seem to be better than the others, and they got a bonus deal going on. You might think doing that after work 12 day hours would be tiring, but you'd be--

The senate dems that caved are worse deal makers than Trump. Worse deal maker than Trump. Worse deal maker than Trump
Worse deal...

Hard to believe, but so very true. Nobody should be able to live that one down.

If you haven't seen Frankenstein yet, watch it. It's a good carve out a chunk of time at night, and really appreciate it type of movie.

Welp, it was another Mandatory Monday. No waiting until the day is almost over, just getting it over with at the meeting. Took on a couple old timers', I'm coming in early all week anyways.

It's early Monday morning and I already want to punch a hole through my phone as it brings me terrible news. Dems cave. Giuliani pardoned. What next? It all comes in threes, so they say.
November 10, 2025 at 1:37 PM
Nobody wanted them to cave. Ending the shutdown because you got a vague promise is the dumbest shit imaginable. Showing you're a worse deal maker than Trump is not a good thing, people.

Made it to season 4 through our Tales From The Crypt watch. My favorite episode has and always will be Carrion Death. The desolate desert landscape, Kyle MacLachlan's character being such a shit, and how utterly screwed he is in the scenario. Must watch in my book.

Sick to my guts of seeing a pair of dweeby twins promoting that Harry Potter bakeathon on the Food Network every time I play a cooking video on YouTube. It's 2025 and there's still Harry Potter shit.

My wife got the free Pinter deal not realizing I already had another one, so I've got 3 Pinters now. They still got the deal up I believe if you're interested. At some point maybe I'll get a 5 gallon kit and bottles. Doing Razz Session raspberry sour and Iron Maiden's The Trooper beer.

Believe it or not, kinda tired of dragging my bones into work at 4am for nothing.

Long work day today, but tomorrow I got a vacation day. It's gonna be a get shit done day. Sometimes, you need those.

Along with Scott Adams, they gotta write to him like he's fucking Santa Claus

Another Trump claim to fame. The deal-less deal maker has jackshit to show for all his angry bloviating.
