Doubling grid capacity by replacing current lines with carbon fiber for half the price in less time and less permitting hassle seems like a no-brainer.

Good evening Mandy. As always, thanks for your signoff playlist. 🙏

Okay - she's all cleaned up and ready for a new floor. And walls. And ceiling. And cabinets. And...🙄

@MrGoat
They were custom ordered, mid range - above the box store - and I use the ReStore ALL the time, but you can't get all the right cabs for this. There's 2 uppers and base around the corner from the photo. I'll repair them if I can't get full replacement. And reuse them in the upstairs kitchen if I can. I just don't want to start that project...still redoing the master suite/bath up there. I've been living in a construction zone for almost 2 years. Worst is over though. Almost done.

@MrGoat Likely yes, and verbally so. Hoping for a fat check and I do the work and come out okay. I'll hire someone to cement and plaster where they tore out sections for the wall, and probably the drywall work. Then I'll put in a new floor, or hand it to my floor-guy neighbor. Cabinets I'll have to order, or make the ones they pulled work. They kinda fucked some of them up a bit pulling them - enough I'm claiming for new ones, but not so much I might not be able to make them work okay. 🔨 📐

@MrGoat
Far from sorted. Little or no info from the abatement folks, or insurance. Just squeezing my cheeks and hoping for the best.

I remodeled this kitchen 10 years ago. At the bottom, how it started then. Followed by how it's started this morning and how it's going now.
Because of a water drip, insurance and overcautious abatement folks. There might be mold!

The bracero program operated from 1942 to 1964, was an agreement between the U.S. and Mexican governments that brought millions of Mexican workers to the U.S. for temporary agricultural labor. We could do that again and if not - we could charge and arrest the people who employ undocumented immigrants, cutting off the attraction to come.

Trolley up front, gothic in the rear, it's an architectural mullet of a machine. Marvelous!

"It snowed yesterday morning but by the afternoon the apricitous sun had melted most of it away. Can tulip buds be far behind." ❄️🌨️🌞🌷

@JLong
Well that was cool.

@th3j35t3r @Alfred
Damn, man. You can do that!?
Fsckin amazing.
I love this place.

@Jene_Sais_Quoi
Better, seeing you here again. Been dealing with a winter water disaster at the house. Glad you're back. :^) <3

@Ironworker229 @Blueway
I agree, they just don't have a bench, or a coach that can pull a pitcher and have someone ready in the bullpen. Biden had his plate full, and nobody was working on a succession plan. (You're right, probably not Kamala).

Our system doesn't work that way so much anymore since the cigar smoke-filled back rooms went away. That's where the coaches hung out.

There's a whole lot of randomness to who can be a successful candidate. A true leader - even more rare.

Another performed by Goodman that always brought tears to my eyes, and now that I am an old man, even more so. Everyone should have their Margaret, and trust the tulips bloom beneath the snow. #CoSoMusic

Just saw a Barenaked Ladies vid here, and the lead singer's voice reminded me of Steve Goodman. Another who died too young. Jimmy Buffet, who just passed, recorded this song his friend Steve wrote. Enjoy this fine artist.

And who's running the drone that's taking this video? Or is this from a rescue Coast guard Chopper?

@JPSCHWEIZER63 @Blueway
Yeah if age was the issue it seems to be about age-related performance. Bernie has amazing mental and physical stamina. I've tried to keep up with him at rallies.

@WordsmithFL
That's what I meant, but I misinterpreted the mention of hypersonic earlier thinking that it was either a nuclear or hypersonic launched up into space.
