    No, I freaking LOVE Douglas, man.

    My landlord is just.... A twit. I went and took pictures of their "work" so far (the husband said I should) and like, the trench they dug regulation is like16 inches to avoid freezing. In some places it might be 14. In others, it is 8. I confirmed that the landlord had YET to receive like, his BID BACK.

    I was like "why would you assume that would include Saturday work that is triple labor costs."

    ANYWAY I pointed OUT to him that my first SOLUTION was to run a temporary ABOVE ground pipe and to flush the system since they were getting rid of the whole thing ANYWAY but did ANYONE listen. No, they did not. Then I asked him nicely to perhaps find an emergency plumber to do THAT. I also said I could cope with the Bad IF I KNEW WHAT IT WAS and perhaps he was fearful to tell me the TRUTH exactly and I was also like "YOU know, if I WERE the HOMEOWNER I would probably want to check some WORK.

    So then he was all like blah blah blah I found a plumber in Bisbee but he can't come until Wed.

    And I was like LOOK. Perhaps it would behoove you to put your current plumbers on hold, pointing out that they have like, not returned your BID even before starting work that makes me want to kill them and in some ways, I would RATHER have a COMPETENT plumber take a look, and see what they can do. Because I don't really want some cheap, after market pipe with LEAD in it or whatever. I can cope with bad news if I am given the bad news AHEAD of time. Really though, I appreciate you trying to get things done fast, but they are not actually FAST, and YOU KNEW from the first conversation it would take at least 3 days, and Saturday and Sunday are not BUSINESS days. I know that water main breaks suck for EVERYONE. But if I were the HOMEOWNER I would personally want it done RIGHT.

    Why don't you contact me when you have decided what SANE solution you want to go with because frankly, we are flushing everything already as best we can, the toilets work, and there are worse things in the world than bathing in a little dirt. It's just nice to know how that will BE and for how long. I was nice but I was also like, "JUST DON'T PACIFY me and if my pipes break in the winter, I will want ALL my money back, for renting this house ALL of it."

    Sigh. kiddo gets here soon! I gotta mop and vacuum well vacuum first. I warned him. He's still happy!! I LOVE my kiddo is the main thing.

    Parked my Ti mini ProVi and fired up my V1 2,5 amp limit, 3.3 min volt unit with a Subtank Mini with an Aspire BVC coil at 1.9 ohm at 4 volts...vapes just like all my other ProVari's...

    I have a bunch of Subtank Mini rebuildables in the bunker if "The Man" tries coming for my stuff. Just to good to PIF.

    Room 4 is set aside for RTAs and RDAs. Room 5 is for bottom feeder toppers.

    Had a nice little 45 mile ride today on the Trek roadbike. saw a sweet spike antlered buck, and came across a very bright green snake, about the diameter of a pencil, and a foot long. very pretty animal. I doubled back to shoo it off the tarmac for it's own safety. There was a big flock of geese in a field feeding on some grasses, and also spooked quite a few rabbits.

    I think I got the calorie thing dialed in now, even though today I was a little shy on what I brought with...live and learn. If I can do a 45 mile ride on a warm day with insufficient calories on board, I see no obstacle to making my 64 mile up & back ride of the entire trail when the weather cools...going to keep training and focus on "intervals" like sprinting, and strength/ climbing stuff. I can now go uphill in higher gears and stomp the pedals and keep up the pace, but one piece of kit on my bike , the adjustable angle quill stem for the handlebars is squeaking and complaining...going to find a welder to draw a bead on this thing and make it fixed...it is where I want it so no need for adjustability anymore. Once welded it should be much stronger so I will be able to put all my weight onto the bars in a climb without worry...
    I love this stuff...

    That will not hire stuff is pretty scary. I can understand will not use, but not "will not hire." Has it been tested in court yet?

    Obamacare pretty much made it so like, an employer could have a rightful beef about raising life insurance and etc., but like, he gets his own bunker for his COPD.

    It is mean of me to wish Obama COPD but I really kind of do. Along with rickets, the clap syphilis, a good case of the crack and just about anything ELSE on offer.

    It seriously made employers have to PAY so much for insurance that they actually started USING it to JUSTIFY everything.

    Keep the change Obama, keep the Obama care. I cannot believe there was once a younger youthful day when I was like "Maybe SOMETHING good will come from this?"

    Get a horrible smoking related disease, Obama, and die alone. Michelle can watch and eat cupcakes.

    I don't wish smoking related illness on ANYONE except that guy. Because that was EXACTLY when my life went to hell in a handbasket and my tale was EASY going compared to some.

    I may catch some hate from this but the competent, well cared for workers are who you WANT nicotine or NOT. The poor, the miserable, the underinsured..... I've been there, it sucks I made it work but it SUCKED but like, some of them need to display a little "initiative" to JOIN the WORKING PERSON's WORKPOOL.

    You should have to wait for care, if you have no job. You should get cured faster, if you have a meaningful place in society.

    AND WITH OBAMACARE it didn't really matter, health care got worse for EVERYONE. All but the 0.006% and while I sympathize with them, I swear to GOD, I refuse to be told I'm unemployable because of NICTOINE.

    I guess I could just come to work nic free. Hope there are no weapons around with which to blow up the building at say 12.02 when the last of the nic exits my system. I AM KIDDING FDA, pretty sure.

    This country.... Mexico seems kind of nice it really does.

    I find this law frightening I work in backward state, but also in an industry (very much federally funded) where this type of thing could happen.... .Soon.

    I know a lot about fake pee, about virgin pee, about pee you can carry around and make happen very quickly.

    But, if they require blood tests, I am sunk. I am SERIOUSLY sunk.

    OH well, guess I can wait for that DAY to come.
