I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, wow, cool!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

He has done an amazing job. He knows nothing about this kind of work. Total YouTube training.

YouTube training, OR...he's a freaking wizard.

I vote wizard.

Our wings are not tired.

He has a DIY issue. Every time a project is considered his very first thought is, I can do that.

I'm looking forward to putting up the before and after pictures. My sister is going to sob. She has no clue he is doing this. My hope is to go water skiing this summer. I haven't done it in several decades, but I figure kind of like riding a bike.

We also have a 23' fishing boat in FL that needs to be fixed up and sold, or just sold. And a pontoon type boat up in Otter Lake that we use in the summer that lives at my sister's house.

Some day when I make him succumb to my desires I will sell the house and live on a large boat. I love to sleep while rocking on waves. The issue remains finding a boat that we can both afford and that he can stand upright in. Tricky.

I can relate. (ETA I meant to the DIYitis, but also to wanting to live on a boat...)

Aw, the cows that are in the wetlands between our loading docks and the railroad tracks that I thought were just random cows are actually owned by a sister company (why they have cows I'm not sure, it's the vineyard and Commercial Stove arm. And I guess the Smart Cooking arm) and they are having babies. Our location gets to name the first one - a bull. Ferdinand seems to be the early favorite.

Laura, I hope you took pictures during ... it would be interesting to see how he got from "before" to "after".

I can think of culinary links.

AFAIK no part of the conglomerate produces foodstuffs except wine. They may be part of our weed abatement/fire safety measures, I suppose.

-t, I'm not sure about cows but there's been a number of news articles about using goats for weed control. They'll eat invasive and overgrown plants with minimal environmental damage. I did a story - years ago - about a road project near an endangered species (turtle, I think, but possibly a frog ... and maybe butterflies) habitat so they used goats to keep the weeds and grass under control without annoying the residents. Kids at a local school got to name the goats.
