        Ok. What I meant to say was I don’t have anytime to do anything but be a pizza man.

        And how is that working out? Intensive I bet. Hope you’re off to a good start though.

          @den1mhead @neph93 Thanks fellas. Taking the family to a dinosaur park and then I’m going to medicate myself with some delicious alcohol.

          @Seul You hang in there to, pal.

              Parents shouldn’t outlive their kids…

              there was a short video i watched about parents opening up about losing a child (whether it was due to suicide, illness or something else) with an interviewer asking questions about what they went through and how they dealt with everything. it was tough enough watching it behind a screen, let alone trying to imagine what they have gone through. i honestly cannot imagine how hard it must've been.

              i just want to say that even though we're on a forum, my inbox is always open for anyone to have a chat about anything, and to you @Streetwise Hercules, if you ever need anything, don't be afraid to ask or talk about it. Stay strong.

              ❤️❤️

                  We have had a shit load of rain recently.  I hate water-related problems because water can track for bloody miles, thus the symptom may be a long way from the cause.  I spent a long time looking for water ingress today, but found none.

                  However, all the lights in the new build go back to one RCD, which flips after about 5 minutes of being reset.  So I'm working and cooking with the aid of one light plugged into a 13amp socket.

                  It's a challenge…..

                        OH YESSS… that sucks. We had water in the basement one week after we moved into our (new!!!) house some years ago... could have easily happend that I killed the builder

                                    Yeah but it’s a dry heat… [emoji1]

                                    Seriously though, the mid-western winters are damn cold even by my standards. Inland climates are evil.

                                    What makes it tough up here isn’t so much the temperature but the latitude, the wind and the constant low pressure/high pressure exchanges.

                                        Going over old shit, lots of our old photos are gone. Maybe for whatever and whoever’s left, we could create a random thread where OG’s could repost old photos they still have somewhere somehow…photobucket sucked...

                                        Edit: Definitely not a relevant rant, with so much going on, just thinking out loud. My old phone (ironically pictured here on its first day in 2014) broke and I lost a lot of photos, so I was going back and looking for posterity.

                                          Clearly I’m talking about latitudes where people of good sense, intellectual means and physical apptitude live. You’re talking about Texas. On another note, lovely to see you here, darling, even without socks [emoji8]

                                            Absolutely a relevant rant and a well made point. I like the idea as a partial solution to a sad and aggravating problem. There aren’t that many old timers left but we could try and make a mailing list to get in touch with more.
