It's a good day to overthrow the oligarchy.

Dark Roast, usually black.
Sometimes add a scoop of New Mexico Pinon coffee, sometimes a teaspoon of Abuelita Mexican chocolate mix. Also allowed; Irish Cream, Whiskey. But usually just black. Preferred method - coffeepress. #CoffeeWars

I made a #pizzawars hashtag column and it's running faster than the firehose!

All right. Game on. I had a crust, so, my real-time entry: Marinara, Cojita, chorizo, tomato, green chiles, sweet peppers, spinach. Herbs and spices. Green Cholula.

We in Colorado could go ahead and do a buyback of AR-15 and similar, and require license, insurance, training, locked independent storage at ranges, etc. for any who want to retain their weapons. Let Colorado lead based on the Australia model. We have veto proof House, Senate, State Governor, AG, SoS, Treasurer's offices.

Good night ya filthy animals.

Nosh: Sweet potato rounds fired off over the flame and then roasted with sweet red pepper, wilted greens and some kind of honey lemon drippings from a packet I had. Not bad.

Dinner improv: Brussels, peppers, carrots, and wilted greens, all sauteed in butter, with leftover sushi rice on a seaweed wrap.

*What's in the fridge special #420

UPDATE:
Take it apart, put it back together, test for current in the right places, bang on it*, curse at it a litte, silently. Turn it all on again. Nothing.

Tap the valve just so...

Viola! Success! Heat!

Time for a Toddy!

*No parts (human or otherwise) were injured in the making of this repair.

Well, fun fun fun.
Downstairs heater is out.
Guests let me know it was 55F this morning. Checked all the usual things, no help. Swapped out an extra control board I had, no help. Gas control valve can't really be tested, just have to swap it. $300-$750 depending on source, Monday. /sigh

I'm getting more likes on this than anything else I ever posted over on the bird.

Update for this thread - 'tis the Covid. Tested Positive yesterday and today. But here on day 4 is just a passing cold. I'll stay sequestered a while, but I feel fine.

My gawd I believe I just made the best batch of pork green Chile the world has ever tasted. I'll try to save you some, but...it was just a small batch, my first. Not my last.

Well we've crossed the Rubicon. I cannot up-scroll the firehose fast enough to reach the top. Therefore I cannot reach the end of the coso universe.

But my friends column, #music & #movies, and #politics feeds are enough. I unpinned the firehose a whole ago and usually only see it on my phone.

Remember to drop a small donation here when you are able. It's worth it.

Dammit!
First time AFAIK.
Just a runny nose the last 2 days.
Slightly achy.
Figured just a cold.
First time I've been sick since we started wearing masks, and I haven't been as good at it lately.

Decided to test just because I have several tests laying around.

Vaxxed and boosted 3x.
