Maker of pens and other mundane stuff. Looking to escape the dystopian hellscape.
They aren't AI, so you still have to come up with your own words, but these circuit board pens look like the cutting edge in smart pen technology. Not really. But they do look cool. Finally got back on the lathe after a long break from it.

On a completely unrelated note, I quit smoking 10 years ago today.

For $200 to renew my license plate, that Secretary of State (or DMV, depending on where you live) kiosk at the grocery store could at least play Happy Birthday or something.

Turn the other cheek long enough and eventually you become a punching bag.

When people let their dogs crap all over the dog park, pretty soon everybody's going to quit going to the dog park.

Chilling at CVS waiting for the pharmacy staff to come back from lunch. While I've been here, I've heard at least three old people whining about the delay. I'm going to be 60 years old in 45 days. I just was wondering if the License to Bitch will be mailed automatically or do I need to apply for it?

It's December 1st and all the presents for my grands are already wrapped and ready to go! No last minute, all-night wrapping party this year! How is this even real life?

Question: Do we call it the eXodus, or the Big eXit?

There are three things my girlfriend says I am bad at. One is giftwrapping. I'm not sharing the other two.

Crocenstock? Birkencrocs? I'm confused.

After 3 months away from the workbench, I was able to make a couple of pens this weekend.

One day you wake up and realize your life is in the last half of the third act and that happy ending is nowhere to be found.

Everybody says it's dedication and perseverance. Really I just hate filling out job applications.

Fun day at the factory today. The HVAC was set to February, but someone set outside to May.
