I believe I may have used that line on an ex-girlfriend (or maybe their freinds) a time or two in my youth...

I'm often mistaken for an adult because of my age.

I'll call that a good thing... My GF used to always say; "Youth is wasted on the young."

my universal power supply battery backup shuts off once in a while.

I don't plug my router into it.

figure if the UPS fails, I still have internet, & if I lose power, the router is useless after the battery runs out anyway.

Read the fn manual?

Yes.

Even before I BUY anything requiring a manual

ordered a new Nativity set, all but the baby Jesus has been delivered.

so, right now, Mary, Joseph & the 3 Wise Men are all just staring at their phones

Shouldn’t you start with the homebrew either way?

Shouldn’t you start with the homebrew either way?

I wouldn't judge either way

Took me a minute before I figured out why my cough wasn't going away

Another end-of-year list.

Damn it! I clicked on that...

I don't know who needs to hear this, apparently EVERYBODY:

CANNOLI is the PLURAL of CANNOLO. there is no such thing as CANNOLIS.

and don't compound stupidity by adding A FRIGGIN APOSTROPHE

or, if this is a bakery run by the Cannoli family, I apologize

Oh puh-leeze. It's just like playing computer games with computer players -- they never ever EVER cheat or...

okay, wait a minute.

Had a coworker long ago who would have his dad watch the kid while he & his wife both worked. We were all mid-thirties & none of the rest of us had no kids yet. He said his dad would just sit, watch the kid, drink Miller Lite and eat Oreos. We all thought that was awful.

Fast forward a few millennia, and I'm thinking, well, okay, swap out the ML for a dry irish stout, or an altbier, or a nice pale ale, and maybe not so bad.

Okay, a dry irish stout, AND and altbier, AND a pale ale.

And swap the Oreos for a sausage & artichoke stuffed baked soft pretzel.

And some cheese.

And swap out the kid for a football game?

Christmas ain't over till the thank you notes are written.


Yeah. I'm that old.

Yeah. I'm that old.

Now that we have a grandson, any Christmas that does not include a visit from my son and DIL is now a "non-Christmas". This year, because they were visiting hers instead of his, we had no decorations. Not even a tree. I ran some lights around the room in my "dungeon" and that was it. Instead of buying each other gifts, the wife wanted to split the cost of new SS cookware so we could get rid of all our aluminum and plastics. Now that it's over for '24, I feel kinda like that kid sitting on the stoop with new socks and an Etch-a-Sketch while all the other kids ride by on new bikes. Next year, it's full-on Griswolds.

I LOVE my Eargasms, but WHO THE EFF would want to light up the inside of their ear canal?

The same folks who've decided I cannot build a simple PC without having myriad color-changing, room-illuminating LED eye barrages on the CPU, the GPU, the friggin Memory sticks (??!!) and every fan!!

And stay off my lawn.

I showed the LED earplugs to my sister, asked "who the eff would want these?"

she said, "your great-nephews"

sent a link to some NeoPixels, said "they can do better"

Walking up the driveway at 10:30 last night and heard a godawful ruckus of booms and bangs.

Apparently the single degree temps (F) got the lake all excited, and it was making ice like a banshee. To the point I could hear it over 1/4 mile away. I was imagining a racoon was bouncing around my garage.

The family is buying ice skates tonight, since our cross country ski set sits idle with 0.0000" of snow on the ground.
