I was planning to do that project this weekend, then realized the car that I could haul Home Depot stuff home with has no seats and only half a dash. Whoops.
Need a :melon: with a :truk: ?

Never had one of these before. I dig it.

Nesting. Austin Energy should be paying me back up to $170 for enrolling in their energy saving shindig. From dumb thermos to smart thermos connected to Alexa in less than an hour. The E models were on sale for a pair, and the things it lacks compared to the nicer one, I did not care about.

And since the house is Unit B, well, obvious name is obvious.
so many mods to a rental.

It's :mindblown: that you have to convince our resident MotoStig to go see MotoGP in person.

Well, keep in mind that until a few years ago, it was in their backyard versus a flight.

All of which I can, and will, easily undo and take with me. I didn't throw away the original thermostats for this very reason.

A flight to go see other DFD heathens and have a weekend of :drunk: shenanigans?

Yeah, sounds terrible to me.

Usually it would be MotoStig trying to convince their other half to go on a trip with them.

:lol: we JUST did Austin in November. And I JUST saw a large portion of heathens two weeks ago with the trip to Nola. And Zilch will see you fuckers in May and I will see them with him again in August. It's a mix of we should probably be better adults about money and vacation time.

And yes, it was in our back yard.

But agreed.

1). I need to visit the home ownershit section more frequently

2). :dat: What Jefe said. I went to MotoGP a bunch when it was still in Indy. Now all we have is lame Indycars and :bs: stockcar racing. :eeyore:

Now that the West Elm card is paid off I avoid that section like my life depends on it. After I get the R back together this weekend I want to knock out the mirror project I have in mind and that's it. No mas on rental house things for a while.

Highjacking Jefe’s thread for a house update on the Zilch front. Because we don’t do enough of this to warrant its own thread and Jefe is good at sharing.

We converted our guest bedroom into a legit home office for me. Up until now, my “office” was a 2’x3’ table cramped against a wall in our already tight guest bedroom. We hardly ever used the guest bedroom aspect because Zilch and I don’t have friends and I was crazy tired of having to pull a printer out, plug it in, hook up my laptop, and sit on the floor to print every time I needed something for Work. Which is frequent, or at least feels that way when it’s that much of a pain in the ass. It was beyond time and business ownership needed to be easier.

So behold, from this:

Zilch gets a massive public thank you for taking five hours out of a Sunday plus some to assemble Ikea furniture.
