So I Finally have a Sleepend (a weekend that is dedicated to sleep and relaxing without any social obligations and events) and guess what. These assholes from the construction site next door decided to put in some extra work on a saturday...I do sleep like the dead but a drill right into my bedroom wall wakes even this corpse....

No matter how you try to pronounce this, it's hilarious!

It's that time of year again, where outdoor cleanup is underway, and that includes cleaning the prior year's crud off of the grill. For that task, I was thinking of ways to work smarter, not harder...searched Amazon for "scrub brush for drill", and this sponsored post came up first.

I come bearing knobs!

The knobs on the hold-down clamps for the drill press are ridiculously small - definitely needed new ones. Buy or DIY? I clearly chose the latter!

Firearms knowledge simplifies drill bit sizing compromises.

For a woodworking project (a workbench hold-down clamp), I need to use some 1/4-20 T-nuts. Grab the digital calipers to measure the O.D. of the shaft on the T-nut. Dafuq? 0.3" Dude, that's not a standard drill bit size! But even without knowing how to convert to/from metric, I inherently remember that 0.3" is 7.62mm (the diameter of the round used for the AK-47). Ah! I'll just grab an 8mm drill bit - close enough...I'm going to epoxy the bloody thing in there anyway.

The roads are a bloody mess - ice/snow/rain mix, tons of accidents reported...even amongst folks in a region well experienced in driving in winter shite...

So, what's a decent alternative to going out to that concert I wanted to catch?

Online shopping for tools! :D I found a good deal on a bandsaw, a drill press, and a workbench. There's stuff I "need" to build, and those will help immensely!

Why U.S.A. is so attached to the #woke culture while China is preparing itself for global domination?

My neighbour has been practicing piano non stop for 3 hours now. And he always fails in the exact same note. ANd restarts. I´ve spent my Saturday mind drilled with the same tune in a loop.

I want to go there, kick his door down and put some colored tape on that key so he does not forget it´s THAT ONE!. FFS!!.

Or at least play something else!.
