Ok, spent a couple hours and ground the paint off the tops of the rails. Going to give my hands a break and try to get the fucking spent wheel off. Not having much luck at the moment.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Sorry, Dana. I was just feeling sad for all my friends. It's not as horrible this year, I think? Based on my unscientific social media analysis. It's always shittier when there's another hurricane in the mix somewhere in the Gulf or the Atlantic.
Next year will suck, though. And I'll be part of it, I've already got a pitch sold about NOLA Brewing and rebuilding for next summer.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It's more the people posting on FB, including my mother. It's what she needs to do, I guess.

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

Thanks! I've been cleaning like mad, and digging through boxes and bags that I didn't even realize I had to try to find things. And along the way discovered I have several boxes/bags in a closet downstairs that I didn't realize I had never dealt with after moving. Oops. I also have WAAAAAAY too many plugs, cords, adapters, doohickeys, etc, that I don't even know what piece of equipment they were/are for, or what they're supposed to do. Or if I should keep them. Aaaaaaand found a box of photos I didn't realize I hadn't scanned. And I gave the scanner to my parents. Oops. (Sadly, the one infamous photo I wish I had, of me and my bestie at 4 years old, her with block in hand, me with black eye, did not turn up).
And I suspect I am forgetting eighteen different things I need to do or buy or aaaaaah. My head hurts.

Still have a headache myself from the grinder, but going to go swim anyway and pick up some paint on the way home. Exciting!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sorry, Dana. Sometimes staying off Facebook is the right call.
Good luck to your bro, Consuela! My former coworker just got pulled out of Liberia, but he's not a physician.

Yeah, I've been trying to throw those away -- even though I have a basement now! I do not need to fill that basement with things I don't know what they are.
Happy birthday, meara!

Well, and then the other question is, what stuff should I throw away vs am I supposed to/can I somehow recycle or whatever. I feel awful putting all this random crap in a landfill, but...does anyone really need an adaptor for my TI81 calculator? No.

I think I might sit for a bit and have a cup of tea before jumping into Operation Clean All the Things (with a planned sidetrip to Pressure Cook Frozen Meat Boulevard)
ETA: yeah, meara, I want to say I've seen some place that recycles cables and made a mental note because I also have a TON of various cables and chargers that are useless to me, but it was only a mental note and I doubt I can actually come up with real information...
