  The hubs and the boy are installing a range oven in the kitchen today. So excited. :)

  Got some great news that has taken a literal ton of stress off me. Wow I didn't realize how much that weighed.

  We get to vote early on Saturday. Kiddo will come here, we'll all go together, then go have some dinner after. :)

  Watching Time Team. Knitting the hubs another sweater. Nice and cool in the house. Happy. :)

  Had a problem with a credit card online access. Was forced to call them. They wanted me to send in photos of my driver license and a selfie. Um no. Told them I was extremely uncomfortable sending this in to train their AI. Told the representative to find another way. He did. Push back on this bullshit. It's never been necessary to verify accounts and it's not necessary now. FUCK. THAT.

  Since getting my shoulder boulder lifting news, I have been sleeping like the dead. For long periods of time. Holy cow I didn't realize how heavy that was.

  Waving to people who only exist in his mind. Seriously. WTF.

  Next sweater for the hubs. KnitPicks delft blue and Heather gray. Practicing some stranded work in preparation for a complex Icelandic pattern I'll tackle next. Not bad. :)

  Dear weather gods: it is nearly November. Can we get a freeze to kill the mosquitoes? Like...soon? Fuck.

  What stage of capitalism is: I have to make my own vegetable irradiation chamber?

  Ken Paxton is such an unfuckingbelievable piece of shit. I expect he'll get elected...because Texas is a shithole...but it sure would be nice if the earth opened up and swallowed him whole.

  OK. I have finally eaten poutine. Welp. I uh...think I'll let other folks enjoy that. :)

  People who can be bribed with $5,000 for a vote probably don't deserve to have one.

  I still miss my mountain cabin in New Mexico. Especially in the fall. Herds of elk casually strolling through my yard. Wild horses hanging out in the lot across the street. Wild turkeys bobbing around. Bears doing bear stuff, mountain lions screaming, coyotes hunting in a pack and from their yips you knew which ridge they were on...

  Also, the answer to the stipulation that Ukraine give up a single square foot of land in order to secure "peace" with Russia is: Fuck no and fuck you. "Just let your abusive husband beat on you a little bit and everything will be fine". NO

  I used to be fun. :(

  Dumbfucks out here saying "you can't live without AI". Motherfuckers, I'm older than the personal computer. I'm a lot older than the Internet. I don't need a sparkly chatbot to tell me lies. It's not sentient. It barely functions as a set of instructions to accomplish any task. My speak & spell did better work than this bullshit. Yes, I do function every day without the use of this crap and will continue to do so. I don't need it and neither do you.

  One thing I miss about New Mexico: It's chile roasting season. So good.

  My favorite ship in The Expanse? The tugboats. I love those little guys. :)

  I keep dreaming about my house in Austin. It was my first house, I loved it and was supposed to live there forever. I miss it so much. I don't know why I have been so homesick lately. I'm never going back to Texas.

  Got a few more coats to go on the throat plates to complete the pattern, then this all dries and cures, I run a very sharp blade to separate the pieces that got painted together from each other, then several glossy enamel topcoats to seal everything. Once that cures, the mechanical guts go back inside, I rewire the motor and get it all running again. :) Getting closer to finishing this one! #VintageSewing #Sewing

  It is a mistake for Ukraine to give the US its drone tech. A huge one.

  Got some cleanup and more touch up to do, but I am super tired now. Need to stop for today. Edit: This is 100% painted freehand. 1926 Singer 128 Pride machine. Once all the painting is done, I'll put her all back together and get her purring like a kitten. All my machines will be in full working order because I don't see the point otherwise. :) #VintageSewing #Sewing #SingerSewing

  It drives me up a wall when folks treat Asimov's three laws of robotics as fact. IT'S FICTION, FOLKS. IT'S ALWAYS BEEN FICTION.

  I'm just so tired. Mentally tired. The constant assault on / insult to my intelligence has worn me completely out.

  So, space Karen wants to make an "historically accurate" version of "The Odyssey". Is someone going to tell him? Should we tell him? Nah.

  Ok. Here's a short little video of the Singer 237 with her new paint job. Every brush stroke applied by me. It's not perfect, but what is? This all has to cure thoroughly over the next few days. I will then remove the nose cover and top cover, touch up those areas, let it dry overnight, and then begin the topcoat process. Enamel clear coat is going on top of the acrylic. This is fine as long as you're not rushing the acrylic cure. Anyway, once this is off the workbench, I'll sta...

  Wait. Stephen Miller is saying other people who don't agree with him "look weird"? UM.
