Absolutely useless facts about you nobody cares about

Hovannes wrote: 27 Apr 2024, 19:08 I bought a pop rivet tool today.
$3.77 incl. tax at Harbor Freight.
It got good reviews and came with an assortment of pop rivets.
As best I can remember, this may be the third pop rivet tool I've bought in my 71 years.
I so rarely need one I tend to lose 'em.
That's me with chalk lines.

What stains are safe for pipe making?

As coco wrote, your best bet is Fiebings alcohol based leather stain. I have a bunch of those stains as well as many powders that can be mixed in alcohol to create custom colors. I'll bring it down to Ed's Tuesday evening along with a bunch of briar scraps so you can take it home and experiment.

Gender Roles

I suggested that maybe he was hard-wired that way. Nature, not nurture. She dismissed that and thought they'd done something wrong when he was a kitten. Curious thing about humans -- we are the only earthly animal that is capable of adopting habits that are contrary to our nature and yet somehow co...

Random Acts of Kindness

My wife's boss, who's 30 years her junior and has come to respect and rely on her, gave her a box of baked goods yesterday for her anniversary. MrsFredS said her anniversary is next month. Boss lady said "I know."

The treats are from the gluten free bakery MrsFredS loves.

Absolutely useless facts about you nobody cares about

I think we'll sell the 32' travel trailer. Only used it a dozen times in the last few years. So I was looking at teardrops, but Mrs FredS says she needs an included bathroom or she'd not going. "Fine" says I, "I don't mind going solo". So now I've gone down the rabbit hole of buy...

Great Names, Handles, and Personas

El Jefe. Every few years, I fish with a guide in Cabo San Lucas named Phillipe, but he and his boat go by El Jefe. Like most tourist places in Mexico, we're hounded when we walk around the marina early in the morning, by men trying to sell their services. All I need to say is "We're fishing wi...

Gender Roles

One of my nieces, when she was 18 years old - who's now 30ish, grew up in CO, is very liberal, identifies as BI, married a very effeminate man, and moved to Chi Town - and I were sharing breakfast one morning. She said it was weird, how their male cat was a hunter, brought home dead animals, fought...
