Good afternoon. It's sunny and 79.

I just returned from the consult over the dental work, and still trying to figure out a way out of this massive hole. I will have to take out three separate loans for about $18,000 each, at 29.99% interest each in order to get my teeth fixed.

I don't have the math mind for baseball.

The man who raised me taught me basic math with sports statistics. I don't bother with all the new analytics.

That is if the game cooperates, and a ball is hit to centerfield. Occasionally outfielders can go an entire game without touching the ball.

Wife does keep saying we should go the the Fort Wayne Komets hockey match. But we never seem to get the energy when there is a home game

I hope you can make it to a game, it's fun to watch. Most of the time I don't know what is going on, but my wife and I enjoy watching hockey on TV.
 


Finished the siren, the greenery base is my eight year older effort, he is showing some promise!

That's not good Gomez. I can't see that happening 3/18K loans at 29%. What's that figure out to for how many years?

I play the horses just about every day for something to do. Lots of math rolling around in my head to figure out which horse has the best chance of winning. Keeps my brain active for hours. Without it I'd be making many more grammar mistakes in my posts.

I'd knock your teeth out for less, then you can get a set of those wind up choppers and a box of FixOdent! ;)

OOOHHHhhhhh!! When I was very young, and skinny, I found a tall skinny box that I could just slide into while standing up with my arms tight at my sides. My sister ran at me and gave me a shove and down I went, unable to break my fall and wham. Stars and tweety birds all over the place. Dang, that hurt.
 
MSN strikes yet again. A quarter page article about Disneyland's recent closure and when it could possibly re-open.
The article was from July 2020...
I guess there's not enough chaos and anger in the country right now, they need to fan the flames for something that was over and done with over 3 years ago.

In other news, MSN also reports Queen Elizabeth II just passed away.
 
I added some extra long wirers onto the original wires that came with the signal bridge Now I have to add the 460 ohm resistor to the 4 ground wires and then solder them to two of the 4 tortoise switch machines. I will have to insert a signal block on each side of the crossover to determine which color the signals will display. I have not figured that out yet. How much was that signal board you bought Ken? I have one more signal bridge to go.

You all missed out!

wife made a pizza crust and told me to make my deep dish cheesy cast iron pizza again.

This is the one where after you shape the dough into the 10" cast iron pan, add Monterey Jack cheese along the edge of the crust, pressing it up the pan wall. That extra cheese crisps up and is yummy when you get to the crust ring.

She told me to make a BBQ Meatloaf on Friday when it'll be good grilling weather. So a grocery run tomorrow.
