Went to see my father, and man, he is going downhill fast. He's not walking or feeding himself. I really wonder how long he'll last now. So now I'm taking a break in between errands and yardwork to cry a little.
My god...he's gonna do the whole speech.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm sorry, Jesse.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm so sorry, Jesse.

That's rough, Jesse.

Thanks, y'all. It's no surprise, but it sure is shitty!

I can describe a solenoid, draw one, but not tell you what function it performs in a circuit.
A solenoid is basically a relay--I learned that when I had the starter solenoid replaced on my parents' car. It takes a heavy-duty switch to handle all the current needed to power the starter motor and turn the engine over. (Old cars didn't have stater solenoids--just a big switch on the floor that you'd activate by stepping on it.) The ignition switch that you activate by turning the key of your car couldn't handle the current needed, so it just activated the solenoid, which can handle the necessary current.
And forecastle is pronounced foc'sle, I believe.
Yes. I think it's pronounced that way because it's a very old nautical term that's been shortened over time. Kinda like gunwale, which is pronounced ɡənəl.
