It has happened. The Hot Wheels motorized car zoomer that I modified to work with a variable voltage power supply has worn down to an unusable state. I will have to get my kids another zoomer and modify it so
1) It doesn't eat batteries
2) we can crank the voltage up and get crazy
It's awesome!

Looks like I caught whatever bug my daughter has so I'm working from home today. I was able to take a nice little (hour long) break and rocked out to YouTube backing tracks and was able to avoid bugging anyone else with this fun little setup.
Happy Friday everyone!

I brought this electric kettle into work and started making pour over coffee so now I brew up medium roast rocket fuel. Just the way I like it ☕😁

I don't want to brag but to support your point, way back in my early twenties I drove this absolute piece of trash vehicle and I had no problem at all finding a date

I wanted to sit around and do nothing all day today but snow came with the forecast of a lot more snow so I had to do a lot of wintery dad things. Preparing the fireplace and stacking wood is one of them.
Dad tip: Alternate stacking wood length wise and cross wise to get tall, stable piles

Happy Black Friday to all who celebrate and even moreso to those who are absolutely not and are just lazily kickin' it however you like today. Please take the time to admire my brother's ingenuity in packing leftovers in the tray he brought cheesey broccoli dish in.
He can reheat the entire tray!

I found this at the scene of the crime and the car it belongs to a few doors down. I think I'll wait a week so they notice it's gone, then I'll put it back on, but upside down. It's only held on by a sticky backing so it'll stick right back on. Fun stuff

This happened this morning. Luckily I found it in time to get my bin back in place so the recycling truck could get to it and take my recycling away

I found this at the scene of the crime and I found the car it belongs to parked a few doors down. I think I'll wait a week so they notice it's gone, then I'll replace the emblem but I'll put it back on upside down. It has a sticky back like a big sticker 🙃

I added a momentary cut off button to my SG this weekend. That's about all the customization I can do to this guitar without adding a battery compartment. Very cool

I knew that guitar reminded me of something! The O-bass by Orange. This is a very cool look

I don't know why this picture came up when I was searching surface mounted Floyd Roses but it made me laugh because that's exactly what I imagined. Grab a friend and maybe he'll grab you too while you play a song together

Showed up. I've got a little hope in us. For every one person who flicked us off, there were twenty people honking in support. I didn't see any counter protesters. No Nazis got punched here today
