Dull Men's Club

I'll only eat three of these and save the rest as snacks for other days. I'm currently losing weight so this is just an easy way to curb my appetite.

Fill a pot with water, add salt and bring to a boil. Add eggs and cook for 7 minutes. Remove eggs from pot and place in cold water until cool. Peel and eat with prefered seasoning. Enjoy!

It's a 2011 Kenmore entry model dishwasher. Broke one of the shitty brittle leveling plastic feet off pulling it out, now it's on a chunk of wood.

Here's the twist: This was last month. My roommate and I promised each other to inspect old plastic containers better. Yeah neither of us remembered, so there's another broken bit of plastic stuck in the pump again, making a concerning racket.

Honestly the filter cylinder is a bad design I should fix that. There's no reason the top should be so wide open to stuff falling from the top rack.

But now I'm kinda seething and want the thing to die.

The middle chunk of plastic is tomato sauce pigment impregnated. Very cool.

My past four days have not been dull. Today was. Shrimp scampi leftovers are not to be trusted after the third day.

Yesterday the handle to the freezer door broke off in my hand as I was openning it.

I've had it for 10 years so it did laat a while.

I was able to find and order the part online from a local vendor and to my surprise it arrived this afternoon (ordered last night around 19:00).

I looked up the instructions and almost laughed at how simple it is. Installed in less than a minute.

Very satisfying!

That's it. Just never done it before and it took under an hour. It's easy to do. Buy some cleaner and watch a YouTube tutorial.

We got some shelves built by a local carpenter, and they just needed a bit of polish; so they have now been attacked with white spirit, a little bit of wax filler, and some stinky oily stuff. Hopefully they'll be dry tomorrow and I can put some DVDs on them.

Hey guys! Its me, The one girl who posted months ago about a cool rock I got. I finally have pictures of it now. I was also eating brownies.

This was a victory.

I have been getting beaten down between 24/7 job uncertainty with the bad engineering market right now, a full-strip house renovation, and not sleeping well.

Yesterday renovation with my girlfriend's family I hit a breakpoint of just going numb after the 3-4 hours of work I put into building the bath frame has to be shortened by 2cm to get the tiles flat that I wrongly calculated because my brain doesn't work anymore. Like 50% of the work has to be redone and half of the holes through the tiles carefully redrilled.

Today I actually took a day off just working on my personal electronics project. Just a nice, sunny day playing with our dog, doing a bit of gardening and actually enjoying the day instead of just going and going renovating or working or going to social events. I really needed it. Back to the grind tomorrow.

There was a wind storm two years ago that broke a huge chunk of my tree and left it hanging on. You could probably hang off it and it would not come loose, we tried getting it with ropes but it was wedged in tight between some branches.

Since it was broken pretty high up, surrounded by burdock, and at the back of the lot I just left it.

Today I was helping my wife in the yard clearing the weeds and this time one of the branches pinning it snapped, so I was able to use another branch as a fulcrum and finally took it down.

I’ll cut it up and burn it later — if there’s any good wood I might try carving some.

Before in main image. After below there's still a bit to clear on face of the steps but I didn't do it yet. Also cleared a bunch of brambles from around the Pampas grass but there's loads to go.

We dont usually have rats inside. It must have wandered in during the day. Theres a lot of them outside.

It was big like a squirrel. If it had a fluffy tail you would want to pet it.

Most days I receive zero packages. Two is so extravagant as to almost not be dull.

It's a short book.

It was my first time doing it and it went well thanks to some help from my neighbour.
