Ran pretty good a couple of weeks ago so, after giving the wife unit her cut (ha), I ordered a Penguin Tech Racing flex fuel kit for my 2019 Accord 2.0T. Should be a nice little extra kick in the pants once I get around to installing it...

Bought these about a month ago and I am a believer. I used to love hitting the gym but post covid my desire to go had dropped. Decided to give these a try and man, I put them to the test and they answer. I'd swear my workouts are on par with when I was using weights, I wake up the next day sore. Best part is I stay home, no driving.

Needed some new gloves so I headed over to a tailor that's in the same building as my office to see what he has in stock. He brings out some leather ones and then some fancy shearling ones made in Portugal.

"Top of the line, very comfy!" he says.

I put them on and oh baby, I am smitten already. Leather ones were $60 - $75, but these shearling ones were $120.

I had $65 in cash from poker last week that I haven't spent in my pocket, so screw it, I give him the cash and tell him the rest can go on debit.

Well he takes the $65, closes the register, and tells me, "That's enough, thank you my friend!"

I was absolutely floored and protested in good faith that I can't do that! He told me, "No no! It's fine! I'm not going broke!"

So yeah, the run good can spill over into other parts of life at times!

When I was still a wee lad, my Dad would often go to the commissary on base and stock up on meat there as the prices were much better than the normal grocery stores (at least at that time). We had a deep-freeze in the garage that this was kept in, along with frozen New Mexico Hatch green and red chile as well as other items. (We had lived in Santa Fe previously and had family friends still there who would send us bags of chile when in season that we would then roast and freeze).

The outlet for this was next to his radial arm saw and had to be unplugged to plug in the saw.


You know where this is going.


He comes home from work one evening and notices the garage smells a bit off, but pays it no attention. The next morning when he goes to work, still notices the smell but is in a rush and continues to work. That evening when he returns, he knows something is up and discovers a recent stock up and most of a 50 pound bag of chile at room temperature.

Had had forgotten to plug the freezer back in after using the saw.


A backup generator might not be a bad idea, especially if you are in an area that's prone to extended outages, but there's nothing better than making sure basic operator error doesn't bite and that outlet isn't used for anything else! :unsure:

Similar story, except our freezer was on an outlet that had a switch by the door.
 
Yes, they made two different Avengers pinball machines. Yes, I bought both :cool
This one is Infinity Quest, so its not based on the movies like the other one (and it's newer)
Pinball season wraps up Thursday, so poker and board game season begins soon (just need my new card mold chips shipped)
