Ah, crap. I have 500 hours in Fallout 4 and still haven’t beaten the main story yet due to side quests. Guess I never get to go home.

Yeah, parenthood is stressful. I have less personal time. A loooot less expendable income. But when I pick my 3 year old up from daycare, and she’s so excited to see me, you’d think she hadn’t seen me in days, my heart just melts. It’s so interesting to hear her take on things. The stories she makes up with her toys. Hear her describe what’s going on in her abstract scribbles.

She loves music. Michael Jackson, The Wallfowers, and Sam the Sham are surprise favorites at the moment. Aside from the soundtracks to Frozen and the Little Mermaid.

Seeing her get excited about things that we take for granted brings joy back into my life. Even something mundane like a Spirit plane coming in to land by the airport by us. She was so excited because it was yellow. Ford Fusions are “Shark Cars” and she always loves pointing them out. Putting stuff on the checkout conveyor at the grocery store. Turning on light switches. Riding Sandy ar Meijer.

Now, she’s getting into board and card games and it’s so cool to have family game nights. Primarily dominoes and Uno. I have a ton of weird vintage board games in the basement I cannot wait to bust out when she’s older.

I could go on and on about why I love being a dad. The day she was born, from the moment I held her, I knew that I would fully be capable of killing someone. As long as I am alive and capable, I will do everything in my power to keep anyone from harming her. She is everything to me.

Antique. I’d say mission style furniture. My father in law used to do restorations. But it really isn’t my scene at all. My ideal house would be all mid-century. But I also like more modern contemporary furniture.

I have an extending table, too. It’s 4 person, extends to 6. But that puts the legs right between your legs when you sit on the sides.

My wife’s parents have a ton of antique furniture. They’ve given us some stuff, it is out in the garage now. They see our furniture, it is more modern. My mother in law has been pouty, “oh, I guess we need to sell all this before we die! You aren’t going to want any of this.” Thank you, yes. That is exactly what I want. I know that was supposed to be a guilt trip, but that is exactly what we want. Lol

No. I keep pretty much everything to myself. I am convinced that no good can come of me expressing any of my emotions. I need to be a rock. I allow myself a few minutes of crying when a relative dies.

Kate Bush bath water?

An under sink filter system has been one of my favorite small upgrades for my house. I always have a metal water bottle with me, and for longer times away I have a big metal half-gallon insulated jug.

This would be fantastic for at work. I saw in another comment that it’s a one time fee commercial use license. That’s fantastic. How it with merging PDFs with different page sizes and orientations? I would use it for merging drawing packages together, and there’s a mix of like, A0, A1, and A3.

Our Thanksgiving prime rib was over-done. We’ve been a bit slow lately, and so I’ve had to take more vacation time. Or, sit at my desk and do nothing. We don’t get as much free company apparel as my last job. There, we got Carhartts, Nike quarter zips, Weatherproof jackets, coolers… that was pretty nice.

Oh, and the main thing is the customers. I wish the program managers could do all the interacting with them so I would never have to talk to them.

While they are alive and conscious.

That’s why I fill my lobsters with propofol before cooking them. People always say my dinner parties are a snooze. I don’t know why, I always have a good time. Of course, I don’t eat lobster.

I’m already sold, you don’t need to sweeten the deal anymore.

Are most articles today clickbait? What Walter Cronkite says will shock you.

I just picked one with a nice screen, didn’t connect it to wifi, and set it to turn on to the last used input. Bam. Dumb TV.

Oh no, my PKCell!

Kent Survival is another relaxing, casual camping channel. Not quite like Steve.

Budget Builds kind of inspired me to fix up this Dell Precision 690 I rescued from the trash.

Polymatt’s video on LGR’s laptop was positively incredible. So good. So impressive.

Ever watch Brick Immortar? Mostly maritime tragedies, and much more dry than plainly difficult. But I kind of feel they are in the same sphere. I fall asleep to them sometimes.

Man, Usagi Electric’s homebrew project is insane.

I could go on and on. So few people I know are interested in this stuff.

Big Old Boats? Hyce? How about Atomic Shrimp? I’m interested in other channels we might share.

You and I have very similar viewing tastes. Nice list.

No passport, no real id. Good thing I don’t go anywhere.

You dry your balls first, then your ass. Then, you get in the shower. After the shower, you use the same towel again to re-apply your musk. Women love it.

Bet he doesn’t know how to use the three seashells, either!
