^ Starting it now.

^Us too. Through ep3 at this point.

I really enjoy your simple overhead god's view Wes Anderson style food shots Steve...

The Fall of the House of Usher (Netflix) I enjoyed it enough to make it through all eight episodes. Solid B/B- for me.

The Cardigans - Life Saint Etienne - Sound of Water

The kits are taking off, and I haven’t even shown them my Christmas offerings. In the meantime, I got commercial rights to a ton of 3Dish images printing. They come out pretty great and will be even better when the Thunder Fiber laser I ordered for fun engravings shows up.

This stupid earworm was as catchy 25 years ago as it still is today.

Looks like the surviving episodes of Jazz Casual have been uploaded. Also an out-of-print DVD box set. "If Ken Burns' 10-disc 'Jazz' is a freshman lecture, this is a senior recital." EDIT: Some on streaming services and a good short read: https://jazzhistoryonline.com/ralph-j-gleason/

Kit No. 2

Spent the morning sort of woodworking. Thinking of selling these as a craft kit, as the cutting is by far the easiest part and the painting and gluing is a pain in the ass.

Thriller Michael Jackson 1982 https://album.link/i/269572838 Example - I know that I don't need one - but just the opening production of this: Pretty good...

Thanks, Birgir! Grabbed two sets and a new headband.

I have a new grail: Berneron Mirage. It’s vaguely attainable, as a grail should be. Sort of like a Crash, but boozy instead of Dali-esque.

I rescued what I believe is my grandfather's old table from my father's barn today: My grandfather went into a nursing home in 1994. My grandmother lived another 3 years but passed in 1997. My grandfather actually outlived my father by 6 months(!) There was a lot of chaos in my life between August of 2000 (when my father died) and uh ...today, really. At some point in the last 23 years I figured out that my father had grabbed a bunch of my grandfather's tools from the Vineyard and dragged them back here to the mainland. I don't think he ever actually did anything with them (he was already sick with the cancer that would take him.) I am far less inclined with anything involving woodworking than the previous two generations of men in my family. My grandfather build this house in the 50s, and expanded it in the 70s: (Seen here in regular digital, HDR, and Velvia 50, because I am a different kind of nut.) He also built this barn he called "The Doghouse": He also built the toolshed we moved next to it. My father, who was inhumanly energetic, invariably the smartest person in the room, and relentlessly competitive, was not going to be outdone. He built barns bigger than most people's houses: This was the "woodshed" he built, but he never actually put firewood in it. It turns out that he was even better at stuffing buildings full of ...shit, really. Meanwhile I'm barely qualified to assemble a shelf. Also I find most power tools kind of scary. Especially spinning blades. On the plus side, I still have all my fingers. Either way I'm dragging my grandfather's tools back to MV where they belong.

It can certainly be done, but you'll have to attach wood under the current cubby holes, then build that up to support the seat extension. That support piece should be at least 8" deep. With about 2" to 3" sticking out past the cubby hole. Does that make sense? The other alternative, that might look more purposeful, would be to make a 4" or so seat extension. Hinge it to the existing seat, so that it can fold down when not needed. You can make triangular support pieces that are also hinged, and would fold out from the sides of the cubby holes to support the seat when upright. Fold them back in and the seat extension folds down. You loose a little bit of cubby space while it's folded, but none when it's extended.

RIP Shaft https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2023-10-24/richard-roundtree-shaft-movies-dead-at-81 And fuck cancer. 🤬

I was just sent this and I had to share it: Now we all know Z reviews is trash but this is just pure shilling.
