OT: 115th Obsequious Banter Thread: 115 Minutes of Fame

[Lord Defect]

My brain is fried, but we need to continue this conversation. A razor sharp and well setup plane is an absolute joy and one of the most satisfying tools to use. I got a Stanley ( no.whatever...don't remember right now) off Ebay years ago and this happened. Father's day present for my pop.

Show me how to set up the blade depth and angle, and how to use them and I’ll give you a dollar next time I see you

Cat is home now. What a night. 7pm get the call. He's ready to go. Get there around 8. "Let me check"

8:30- "For Sawyer?" I go up to the counter and pay. "I'll let them know in back. Nurse will bring him out"

9- nurse finally brings him out, explains meds, I'm out.

10 minutes from home Kitten calls. "Bring him in the front door. There's a swarm of murder hornets outside the side door. I just let Mya out, don't know how I'll get her back in." I tell her to let the dog out the side gate and through the front door. She texts, "There's bees nests out front too!"

I'm about 5 minutes away now, forming my plan. Driving on the highway I see the biggest shooting star I've ever seen. So low on the horizon and lasting so long, that I could see a shape to it, and a greenish glow. Almost thought I was watching a plane crash. Or aliens. Any other time I would marvel at seeing this awesome phenomenon, but the day I'm having I'm expecting to come home to a crater in my backyard.

Get home. Leave cat in the car while I inspect the bee situation. They're swarming around our light above the door. Assume they aren't aggressive, but not taking chances. Grab the spray which is on the porch rail. Psssss. Basically empty, but I get a few. Ask her if we have more. She cracks the screen door and hands out a new can. I get the rest, and bring the cat in.

Now I just have to deal with a conehead for a few weeks. But the Phillies won, so...

The cat is going to pay you back for putting that on your head.

Guys this is an emergency does anyone or anyone's missus grow plants from seeds. My little pepper plant has 2 leaves in it and has been growing in a peat mound in a "greenhouse" just under a plastic lid and I was going to move him to a pot but when I took his lid off he wilted (didn't die) in less than a day so his lid is back on now and he's chillin. Do I pot him? Will he wilt? I don't know what to do

Texted my wife, but she’s busy for a few hours. Will report back when she frees up.

Thanks Jojo

I feel like he wilted bc his peat mound dried up but now I'm super nervous. My intuition tells me if I transfer to a pot and water the potting mix so it's damp he'll do ok. But my heart is scared

She also said if that's a salt lamp, turn it on more often. It needs to dry out a bit.

What does Mrs. Whale have to say about this contraption. Transplant to pot with soil + feeding, then dome. Greenhouse style

Commence brew day! Today I'm doing five gallons of my favorite German style, the mighty Dusseldorf alt-bier. Fall is almost here and I'll celebrate with something a lil' darker. Should land at about 6% abv.

This was pretty great. As an early teenager I had a healthy fascination with WWII naval warships--mostly the Kreigsmarine vs. the Royal Navy, but also in the Pacific. Even then I would chuckle thinking about how each time the axis would crank out a class of super-battleship, we and the Brits simply allocated a bunch of resources to sink them asap. Big fleet actions to counter them, but in each case an abundance of torpedo planes got the job done.

Lesson learned after trying things the ship-to ship way, which cost England the HMS Hood sadly.

I planted seeds in this bed in June. Cucumbers in the front row far left and snow peas 2nd from right, front row are producing. Back row is all tomatoes I think, haven't gotten any from them yet but they're growing well. That said, I have absolutely no idea what you should do. Sunlight and water. Fertizer. Human sacrifice. Whatever works.

Once it sprouts you don't need to dome it. Just put it in a pot with potting mix. The dome helps keep the soil wet to germinate seeds, but can be too humid and cause mold/fungus.

I'm 2 and 3 degrees from Clarke in two completely different ways, and 2 degrees from Danny Boy, so I guess that makes me 3 from Fletcher? I'm sure someone here, i.e. a season-ticket holder or two, has that beaten.

Is that what you meant?
