Cold this morning? Certainly cool. Then warming. And if the giant ball of nuclear fire is in the sky, then it will feel hot. Like yesterday. While it was cool to chilly in the shade, the sun poking through the clouds was like a heat lamp and I was the entree sitting on the cutting board. I might even have a little tightness to the skin on my neck and shoulders. I’m really glad it wasn’t sunny for longer.
I thought I had a plan in place for yesterday, but I was wrong. On the other hand, I spent a few hours with my lovely wife watching other kids perform, and about 15 minutes watching my kid do her thing. All while sitting comfortably (mostly) outdoors. Took a while to get home after, as traffic leaving the event was poorly managed. I did some quick auction stuff, then read for a while while waiting for kids to get home.
Today I’ll sleep in a bit, then do what I can to get the house back into shape. It’s currently disrupted by the laundry/entry/pantry project, and all the holiday decorations. Just getting all those back into the attic will help. Getting the entry/laundry finished and back together will put even more stuff back where it belongs. Oh, and I should make something nice for dinner.
If I can get anything off the list it will be a bonus.
We’ll also begin to see if there will be widespread or localized madness in the stores or the streets. W says her socials are mostly emphasizing food bank donations to fill any gaps. I wonder how long that will last as people see just who has been spending their tax dollars, and on what. Trump has once again disrupted the status quo and focused attention on something that has been building for a long time without oversight. The ugly truth of the abuse of SNAP will last even if people forget that Orangemanbad was the one who flipped over the rock.
I’ll keep stacking and adding to my stored resources. You should too.

I’ll reserve judgment on sodium ion batteries until they’ve been in use for a while. Recall the hype about lithium ion batteries. Most of it was true or true-ish, some turned out to be wishful thinking. And there were real-world issues that were never mentioned in the hype phase, things like, you know, vehicle fires which can’t be put out.
Anything crossed off the list will be replaced by multiple new items. I can’t figure it out. It seems that, with honest effort and a modicum of competence, the to-do list should be whittled down until there is little to nothing on it. It doesn’t work that way. Is it purely a self-sabotaging psychological mechanism, with us noticing new things that should be taken care of now that this thing is out of the way? An effect of impersonal chaos, with things falling apart and running down without constant maintenance? A conscious and malevolent universe which has it in for each of us individually?

Not an emergency at all. To modify a few standard phrases, failure to work for a living on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part. Failure to keep your legs closed does mean that I have an emergency.

The formerly 15 lb 16 year old white Siamese male cat is down to 7.5 lbs. We are now feeding him Gerber beef, chicken, or turkey per the vet. At first he was gobble, gobble, gobble but he is slowing down on it too. He may be checking out soon.
While I regret getting involved with the CPAP Industrial Complex and just had to fire a sleep specialist, you may want to get an off the medical record read on your situation from your GP if he/she can be cool about it.
BTW, I fired the sleep specialist just before the clinic sent out notices that they are closing for good. I wasn’t surprised given the unprofessional handling of my case.

It is still all around. It’s spontaneously organized into politicians and lobbyists.
We are having our dog put down on Tuesday. She is 11 years old. Over the course of three days she went blind. What was outstanding vision suddenly was no longer. She gets around for the most part, does run into a wall once in a while. She can apparently see some shapes, or light.
She got lost in the basement and gave us that bark of “I need help”. I had to go down and find her and help her navigate her way to the stairs. She can go outside and does reasonable it appears.
She is also arthritic and has trouble jumping onto the couch. It takes several trials before she finally makes the leap. But we can tell it is not comfortable. The vet said she is probably in some mild pain. She is also sleeping much more than usual, 20-22 hours a day.
We took her to the vet and he tested her eyes. She does not have cataracts. The vet said that the signal from eyes is not getting to the brain. When shining a light in one eye, the iris in the other eye should restrict, it did not.
Blood tests indicated possible tumors which confirming would require more tests. The vet also said the blood work indicated kidney and liver disease. And the dog will probably become incontinent within a few months.
We decided the best course of action is to put the dog down. We don’t want to prolong her life until it becomes a life of misery. She lived a good life and leaving now is probably the best option. I have seen people spend thousands on their animals until the animal was in pure misery. We don’t feel that is the best option for us and our dog.
We have done this before with a dog that developed cancer. It is amazingly quick. Shave the leg, find the vein, inject the chemical. Within seconds the dog died. I think the dog knew, somehow, that it was over before the procedure was started. She laid her head down, sighed, and closed her eyes. We knew she was gone when the body relaxed.
Tuesday will be a sad day.
A new term to replace “wingman” is definitely needed.

So if my microwave is attached to the wifi why must I reset the time?
Oh I did remove it from the Samsung smart app as I really don’t need messages on the TV that my food is ready.

No words.
Does the microwave know your time zone?
I had to reset 10 clocks in the house and one vehicle. The F-150 updated its time by itself. It also changes time when I change time zones when traveling to Nashville.
The new vehicle will have 5g modems as well as GPS. The truck is never really offline or lost.
From the … 2016 … ? … model year on, the F150 also has a tattle tale system Ford developed with Prudential to send telemetry to your insurance company about your driving habits, strictly “opt in” … for now.

It’s rough. I’ve had to do it for 5 dogs and it sucks each time, but it’s for the best.
Our previous two dogs, one we had done at the vet. He was a yellow lab, fat and happy until the end. He couldn’t stand up by himself anymore. He went to sleep laying his head on my son’s lap.
The other was our black lab, less than a year later. For him, we had a mobile vet come to the house because he hated the vet’s office. He passed with his head in my wife’s lap, sitting in His favorite spot in the backyard.
Our current dogs are going to live forever…
W2 is looking for a meat grinder to prepare ground beef, ground chicken and ground pork.
Any recommendations? TIA.
Meat grinder: if you’re going to use it more than for small batches and only once in a while, spend the money on better than you think you need. You don’t need to get a $5000 industrial-quality unit but the units marketed for home use are underpowered and underengineered and will fail in short order.
If you want a specific model recommendation, I can ask an acquaintance who makes his own sausage and ground beef and what-not. It might take a few days for him to get back to me.
Meat grinder attachment for Bosch or KitchenAid Mixers: Reviews are generally praiseworthy for this attachment / accessory. Prepper fail: I see mine was purchased in 2015 but <ahem> not used yet.

Grinder- I use an old manual one, and have done 10 pounds of sausage meat at a time. Dad used it whenever he made sausage. Doesn’t take too long to do.
n
If you want to showroom grinders, try Bass Pro or Academy or similar outdoorsy stores.
I had issues with my KItchenAid attachment grinder, but there’s a nonzero chance I may have set it up wrong.
OTOH, if you want a good starter spice blend for homemade sausage (from the ground pork), I like the recipe from page 49 of “Well Fed: Paleo recipes for people who love to eat” by Melissa Joulwan. The resulting suasage was used in an Eggplant Strata recipe later in the book.
I couldn’t find her spice mix recipe online except through subscription services. I’m sure others you could find online would be just as good.
Thought for the Day (Feline edition):
Daylight … schmaylight.
Listen up Bub – I have 20 claws and 4 good fangs and they all say it’s %&*# feeding time *right now* !
Follow-up: Grinders reminded me of deli slicers. I bought a highly rated consumer one off Amazon, and I’m glad to have it. But… If you go that route, buy one level higher than you think you need. This one cuts slowly, and you have to be careful not to move the meat faster than it can handle, and the plastic parts don’t clean up as easily as metal would.
OTOH, a semi-frozen eye of round roast can be sliced, dipped in soy sauce and black pepper, and placed into the dehydrator in short order. Cheaper than packaged jerky and you can control how dry it gets.
Alan, message sent to my acquaintance. I’ll comment if/when he replies.
Grinders. Look what is the mid-price-range being sold to hunters at places like Cabela’s and Bass Pro, then order the same item from an online commercial kitchen supplier to avoid paying the “hunter” premium. I would also avoid anything the body of which is made of plastic. Aluminium or stainless steel is the way to go.
Grinders. Have a look at Vevor.

Important note: We’re talking about grinders, not about Grindr.
My slicer was the 7.5 inch 200 Watt Vevor model. Apparently, no longer available on Amazon.
Like I said, get one grade u p from what you expect. Probably same for the meat grinder.
US nuclear airmen plead guilty to false statements in shooting that suspended Sig Sauer M18 use
https://apnews.com/article/sig-sauer-m18-air-force-p320-death-7a063fc3039d311fd2dc5cdb6657b637
No, the M320 did not go off accidentally in the holster. It was a lie. An immature dikhed was “playing” and pointed the pistol at a friend. It went off. Dikhead got two other buds to lie for him, but it didn’t hold up. Buds got disciplined, careers are over, and dikhed killed himself (Light stoke on Occam’s Razor: still under investigation).
The lie probably cost Sig Sauer millions, and fed the gun grabber/Democrat trail lawyer machine’s phony lawsuits. There has not been credible, repeatable demonstration of the model M320/P320 firing of it’s own volition in the holster, or when dropped on a hard surface, or anything else. I’d suggest that the fastest way to the truth would be to waterboards everyone that claims otherwise.
Meanwhile, there is overwhelming proof that the vaccine makers are lying, killing people, and causing more disease than they prevent:

Well, here we are, with a chance that aliens are going to be popping by in the 33 billion ton spaceship any time now. Unfortunately, NASA still exists and will doubtless try to claim a central role in any contact. I’m going to recommend to Elon Musk that he support a tightly defined role for NASA that leverages their greatest area of expertise: NASA has been in the crap business for decades, so they should be tasked with investigating alien bathrooms and determining if aliens have superior shitter mechanisms that should be adopted by spacefaring humans.
27 years later, we might get a report.
Well, got almost all of the holiday stuff put away. I’m sure I missed something.
Got a couple of shelves installed in the laundry room, so other than putting stuff back and knobs for the cabinet doors, that project is done.
Made a couple of shelves for W to install in what used to be the broom cabinet so it can be used for other stuff, like food. (it’s in the kitchen)
Put some small things away that had been out for a really long time.
Found a possum skeleton in the back yard. Disposed of it.
Won some stuff in auctions.

I took a pricey sideboard back to IKEA today half assembled.
I’d been futzing with it for a month and had to make two trips to the store to replace broken particleboard.

Old cats; back in 2008, my wife “adopted” a new mamma cat and her five kittens. She had promised to find good homes for them and get them adopted out, but that was when she became ill and was disabled, and she was unable to get any of them adopted out. So in addition to our existing colony of feline tenants, we adopted that entire brood as well.
She is something of a cat fanatic; she even has a dishwasher-sized sticker on the front of that appliance that says “When I am old, I will be a retired nurse with a house full of cats.” Yep, that was us. I have been only moderately successful in avoiding any additional cats, but there have been a couple. Of that 2008 litter, the mother and two of her offspring have already passed over the rainbow bridge, and the other three are fading fast. We’ll probably lose one this year and the other two early next year, and it becomes more difficult with each pet.
So we can sympathize.
“Heirs of Empire (Dahak)” by David Weber
https://www.amazon.com/Heirs-Empire-Dahak-David-Weber/dp/0671877070?tag=ttgnet-20/
Book number three of a three book space opera series. I reread the well printed and bound MMPB published by Baen in 1996. This is my favorite SF series of all time as I have reread it six or ten times now. In fact, the binding of my book has broken since I have read it so many times. This book has sadly has gone out of print as a standalone book. But, the omnibus is still available as a new book:
https://www.amazon.com/Empire-Ashes-David-Weber/dp/141650933X?tag=ttgnet-20/
I do not know why this is my favorite SF series of all time. I think that I like the standup position of the chief protagonist, Colin the First. Or that there are so many different species of intelligent space races. Or that the book is written so tightly, especially when compared to Weber’s later works. Or that an self aware artificial intelligence shares the main protagonist job in the book, much like Heinlein’s “The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress”.
I keep on hoping that David Weber will write more books in the Dahak series but, I doubt it. He did write the Safehold series which is along the same lines as this book, overpowering space aliens and self aware artificial intelligences. BTW, there is an ending to the Safehold, Honorverse, and Dahak series that David Weber wrote as joke:

Here is my 2012 review of the book: “OK, time for my biennial rereading of the Dahak series. You want space opera, I’ve got your space opera right here. You want milsf, I’ve got your milsf right here. The series is well written and tight unlike Weber’s later verbose efforts. Not bad, just verbose.”
“This is my favorite SF series of all time. I’m waiting for it to be continued but I am losing all hope. To me, the “Off Armageddon Reef” series is just a reworking of this series done in a more verbose way. I’m sure that Weber will deny that but after all, he is the author of both.”
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Amazon rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars (55 reviews)

Harbor Freight vs Snap-On: The Epic Tool Box Showdown
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_o9XLFGKBGc
$2999 for the 73″ Icon tool cabinet, Add two 28″ end lockers, stainless steel top, and hutch for $7096 total (plus tax).
RTFM pays off. The cabinet comes with directions on the end of the box (RTFB?): there is a ramp included in the bottom drawer that let’s you roll the cabinet off the pallet.
10’9″ total assembled length.
Some interesting design choices:
The end lockers all ship as lefts, so you have to reverse the door to make one a right. They ship laid down with two casters and two temporary wheels, so they can be stood up and rolled into place. If you want a right you swap the caster positions before you stand it up.
The hutch requires the ss top, which can be purchased separately. The buyer was critical of having to deal with two piece, but as he and his helper struggled to lift the 200-lb hutch onto the 45″ cabinet, adding another 85 lbs for the top would have required them to fire up the forklift.
The buyer was also critical of the locks being different for each piece, but it’s eay to see why given the SKU nightmare you would get. Note that HF sells a 15-piece lock set so you can key everything the same at a very reasonable price of $45–I’m sure Snap-on would charge $150.
Kudoes to the buyer for spending his own dime and not getting sponsored.
He mentioned the hutch is $1000 but has a $1500 option with drawers that would be too high for him, but he also talked about adding cabinet on top which will require a step stool anyway.
With only four non-matching chest/roller cabinets in my main garage, I’d certainly like to have more room and more storage, but I’m not going to be spending that kind of cash. A slightly more economical option would be the chest with the $1500 hutch with drawers: for $4500 you would have more drawer space (even counting the four drawers in each of the side cabinets). A lot of what went into the side cabinets could be stored in lighter, less expensive cabinets.
For the record, I do not like the concept of putting the battery chargers and batteries in a drawer. From a safety perspective they would be better off on a separate metal bench, but in the hutch would be an acceptable compromise. In either case I would install a temperature controller with a fan and an overtemp alarm.
I did look at the specs and putting a second roller cabinet on top of the first would work. 45″ each. Pull the wheels off the top cabinets and make a 3-piece custom riser: drawers on either side that use the caster bolt-holes to attach to the cabinet and a removable separate rollout top on full-extension slides for the middle. The rollout is the last piece to assemble, as it fills the space that the forklift needs to lift the heavy son of northern hardwood onto the bottom unit.
A couple months ago I linked to a Snap-On installation that was 2x the cabinets for 20+ feet. With the top cabinets it was $120,000. Youtuber and diesel mechanic.
I’ve looked at a lot of drawer organizational schemes from bent scrap wire to Gridfinity. As someone who grew up looking at plans in Popular Mechanics for utilizing the space between the floor joists in the basement shop as storage, including the neat revolving rack for baby food jar parts storage, it’s a constant tug-of war between time, money and ego. Growing up the latter was pretty happy with a garage out of the wind. Upgrade from a dirt floor and add a space heater was about as far as imagination would go. Recycle a fluorescent light for another upgrade.
There’s a lot of machine shops going out of business, and a lot of Lista, Stanley Vidmar, and Equipto tool cabinets that are still not cheap, but more reasonable at 20% of new. If the opportunity presents to get a set of four, I would probably pull the trigger.
Condolences Mr. Ray.

This Shutdown Fight Will Change the Way Washington Works
https://hotair.com/headlines/2025/11/02/this-shutdown-fight-will-change-the-way-washington-works-n3808459
Context for the previous post: The Dems have pizzled away most of the time the “continuing resolution” covers.
I’d vote for “screw it” right now. Get the House to work on an appropriations bill that is effing scorched earth: Pay the military–give enlisteds a 10% pay bump. Pay ATC. Pay other essential government workers. Do not pay congress–they ain’t doing the job. Do not pay the judiciary, and turn the utilities off on the courthouses and other unused federal buildings. Pink slip whole departments. Fund SNAP only for states that have allowed their enrollee list to be audited for compliance with the law–no immigrants. No student loans, no research grants. No foreign aid. No UN. Not one thin dime to the blue shiiteholes, be they state or cities.
Tote up what is getting funded, and determine if it’s balanced with income to the federal government. If it’s not, figure out a way to cut some more.
Thomas Massie* should be happy, but if not, give him a ticket to a blanket party. Same for the witches and anyone else who is not on board. Trump declares a national emergency and martial law, pledges to begin expedited deportations, with anyone in the system who has failed to follow an order of deportation, failed to show up for court, etc. deemed instantly deportable, and then have the military act to expel the foreign invaders.
Thune goes on record as willing to suspend the super-majority b.s. (have you noticed that it’s more difficult to impeach a constitution-violating judge than it is to pass a bill through the Senate?) for national emergency.
Let the Democrats look over the edge of the pit and see if they really want to go there.
*It takes a special kind of perfumed prince to geteleected with a party and then sell it out for “principles”. Yeah, Tom, here’s a question: Do you cash your paycheck?
Harbor Freight might be enough if your needs are simple, and Snap On might be too much. They are in no way the same.
I’ve got Lista/Stanley/vidmar and I’ve got some A/V drawers from a school auction. I’ve got Kennedy boxes. I’ve got Knack boxes. I’ve got some craftsman boxes and some that are so cheap IDK if anyone would recognize the name. I’ve got repurposed card catalog metal drawer sets. I’ve got metal horizontal file cabinets, and fireproof filing cabinets. I’ve even got some IKEA bathroom drawer units stacked up.
They are not the same. They are not different but equal. They are almost all not as good as snapon or the Stanley/viddy/Lista drawers. Different markets, different design criteria.
They should hold, organize, and protect your tools and tooling. Cheap boxes for drawers you rarely open, expensive boxes for drawers you touch every day. Heavy stuff in well made expensive boxes. Light and delicate in lighter boxes like Kennedy.
IF working faster saves or makes you more money, being able to find the tool the first time you reach for it makes sense. If not, then organizing and maintaining the organization takes time away from paying work. The boxes roll so you can take them to the work. If you bring the work to the boxes, it eliminates one advantage of the boxes.
GarageJournal.com has endless discussion on the merits of various solutions.
I’m always about the 80% solution. But that’s just me.
