Either that's posed or his spotter isn’t going to be around long.

Welcome!

Welcome!

And college students. We couldn't have a toaster oven in the dorms, but we could have a toaster.

Planted a bunch of seedlings today.... sweet peppers, bell peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, spaghetti squash, 6 or 8 different types of tomatoes, couple pumpkins, cucumbers, ... plus a couple kinds of beans and peas. I think that's it. Still got hot peppers and brussle sprouts and maybe a couple other things that will go in pots tomorrow.

Something passed through and decimated the critters around our house. We had 4 bullfrogs in out fountain in the front, they're all gone. We found one beheaded body nearby. Then I found a beheaded rabbit in our back flowerbed. I'm glad to be rid of the rabbit, but i liked the frogs since they eat bugs. My wife suspects a neighbor's cat.

Movie set from the '70's?

If you're in a situation where $50 or $100 either way is gonna make or break your budget, it's time to reevaluate your priorities.

Taco bell for under $1? Not anymore...

I need to get my garden tilled so we can plant the seedlings she's grown. I'm having some trouble coming up with a tiller. Apparently it's a popular item at the rental places this week.

I have been looking for quite a while, but I'm being picky. No bites yet.

I've been salaried exempt my entire 20+ year career. I've never gotten a nickel in overtime. In that time, I've gotten exactly 1 annual merit increase that was more than inflation that year, and that was a long time ago. The other 2 salary increases have been via changing jobs. The only 40 hr weeks I've ever put in the book were vacations. 50 is generally considered the minimum, so I work to a 25% pay cut most weeks. Years ago I was told that our bonus was supposed to cover all the extra hours. I did the math once and that came to $1.87/hr. Now that I have kids, I'm exceptionally unmotivated to do anything over and above. Theres no promotion, bonus, comp time, professional development, or overtime on the table. And they wonder why they've had a hard time filling a couple empty slots.

Looks like a Browning 1917 to me.

EOD with a Tommy gun?

Holy smokes, that's awesome! 20 years with my employer nets you a logo'd soft cooler lunchbox thing. Your boss drops it at your desk when you're on vacation. 6 months after the actual service anniversary.
