Well good luck when you do, π.
My helper (Dot) wishes you good luck, too, π
it looks intimidating
It started out that way, heh, and I still have issues with figuring out the best fabrics (Which are a huuuuuuge part of getting it right, heH< (KITTY IS trying to help me type, HAH), but after that 6firstr bad experiments, it got easier7 (I'm going to leave his typings in this, HAH), 3wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww7y buy hen...but oddly enough, I seem to have an easy time with odd things like this...SR55tam q...Same with knitting, I've come up with quite a few of my own little sTItches. HAH!
me to my kitten. "Ok, Ok, Ok, I'llgive you some attention, boy"
yep! Tried to leave back in 2017, but couldn't find a job, then screwed up by pushing myself to work electrical full time. If I hadn't torn myself up doing furniture delivery in 2000-2002, I would definitely be gone. So...damn...sore...Oof! And to top that off, when she finally let me use money for a doctor in 21, the meds messed up my stomach, and I'm so god damned dizzy as well.
Lonely and aggravating as all hell. Hate living with how filthy the house is, not having a job, etc, but it's not like I didn't try. I did work part time for about 15 years, but in my wife's mind, it wasn't a job and she didn't have to help around the house. I did try to keep the house clean, by implementing chores lists so every one would help out (minor things just to help me to become accustomed to the pain that was going to happen), but they worked/went to school and therefore didn't have to help...Yeah, I tried...
That's a tough call. Before I attempted to leave in 2017 and was forced to push myself to working full time at electrical (as I couldn't find a less physically demanding job), I could say a lot...But it's been a long long time. There's a few things I know I still enjoy.
The act of solving. Rather odd, but I realized about 10 years ago that I actually really enjoy finding a solution. Unfortunately, though, I know it has slowed down some (as I've had trouble going through some of the code on code academy [C only], and that was about a year ago). This has come in handy with woodworking, programming, electrical, supervising, etc, etc.
Lexicography, always wanted to write/create a dictionary for Cherokee similar to Robert M. Laughlin's "The Great Tzotzil Dictionary of San Lorenzo Zinacantan".
There is a chance...I don't know how great of a chance, as the stress of living here has kept me from doing anything overly complicated, but scripting (Bash, calc, gp/pari), to which would naturally include many console based programs. The last complex thing I did around 2017 is I modified the suckless program "tabbed" to utilize a script to create or add tabbed windows from a configuration file. (Used that for windows specified for writing code, debugging, man pages, reading/reviewing code/text/pdf/ps, calculator, and a file manager.
So there is a chance that I've done that enough that I could relearn it all, but I just don't know. I'm so god damned sore sitting, walking, etc. Also, this GERD like thing I got most likely from medicine for my pains makes living even more difficult...and then on top of all that, the stress of how I'm going to be treated. I just don't know what I can learn, how well I can learn, or what my body is capable of. Hell, I don't even know fully what I truly know...I'm already stressing out right now, and she's not even home.
And I can't think any more at the moment. Sorry! Heh!
That's fine, am a Linux user and not a big deal running a file/media server, also have large enough SD cards, so still not a problem storing music either. I would just like to be able to purchase some new songs just so I can be able to adjust the playlists to something more to my tastes for particular songs over the entire genre or band's albums which can often contain other bands/songs that just bug the living daylights out of me, heh.
Man, I need to try to see if my anxiety would let me watch this. I loved the original, and I'd like to see how this one handles the pheasant episode. That's one of the few parts I can remember vividly. I'd really like to see if it's as gut wrenching as the first time.
Well, if "media" is in general, I'd have to say television. I'll watch some things once in a while, but for the most part, I have way too much anxiety from a bad marriage. Audio books, and certain Youtube channels can trigger it, too.
Spaghetti carbon-era would work, too.
That...is only a few months from being half a lifetime ago...O_o...But it is when the pains started, so I didn't get to feel a lot of the normal aging stuff, π, as there were a lot of other things I felt, πΆ. I think the first "old man" pain I can reliably recognize was around 42 when my back locked up. Oooh, that was fun, Hah!
but it's been at least a couple of weeks since cast-on which should tell you all you need to know about rate of completion π
Pshhh! That's nothing. I've got a grocery bag that I started over a year ago, and a pumpkin bag I started about 7 months ago...i swear I'll get to them...after I find where I put the patterns I wrote...:no_mouth:
Definitely requires a bit more concentration than I've been able to give lately, so I just keep defaulting to the socks instead.
Oof! Pain and the digestive issues from trying to get my pains taken care of have me in a daze most days. It's tough, but I am making headway...slooooowly, heh!
Am working on another duster for my swiffer thingies...I still don't feel up to recording a how-to yet, though. I'll get to it...i'll get to it.
Last night, I made a tiny ray out of this yarn, too.
Just made/created this for my wife. It still gets below freezing, so I'll pop this into her truck tonight after she goes to bed tonight. Will be a nice surprise when she leaves for work tomorrow morning, π
One slight little hiccup, it seems like it's a bit too soft, but it just may need to rest in the fridge for much longer. I just wanted to get it ready before she got home. Meh, she'll still like it any way.
Jesus! Thought the recipe was linked...welp, here it is again.
I made a syrup from ground black walnut and sunflower seeds, but boy is it overly sweet. I do know I could use some form of flour (qinoa, amaranth, millet, all purpose, corn meal, corn starch, etc), but I'm curious if anyone might know of something I haven't thought of yet.
Hmm??? Still a bit leary on the fins. (Here's the first iteration using a plastic bag for the fins).
Logically, the furriness shouldn't be an issue and only minutely add to their hairball formation...but, it still makes me feel a bit uneasy.
Eh, I don't have any old clothes, nor any ribbon large enough on hand...so just used what I could find that'd be different for the time being. Pppppp!
Meh, once I figure out something for the fins that I feel comfortable with then I can finalize the patterns (anomalocaris, goldfish, ammonite, and a squid).
Ok! I give up trying to find this stuff on my own, heh.
Anyway, I built my wife a large outdoor miniature diarama for Christmas and I'm wanting to do a winter theme for her opening (the door), and I'm rather stumped on these.
So far, the best solution I found was snow powder/flakes and spray on adhesive, but I'm definitely open to something else (that's not overly costly, π€·ββοΈ. I spent a looooot on this so far).
It will have a dirt base, so the snow needs to adhere to that as best as possible.
1/2 c. buckwheat
1 c. unbleached flour
6 Tbls. buttermilk powder (Itβs what I have, π€·ββοΈ ).
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 Tbls. Sugar (To make this sweeter, add another tablespoon of sugar)
1/4 c. & 2 Tbls. Ground pumpkin seeds.
Soften 1 +1/4 tsp. yeast in 3/4 cup warm water. Mix all ingredients with 1 Tbls. melted butter. Will be fairly moist, but after sitting for one hour, it will stiffen up and then can be formed into a ball and covered with oil. Let sit for another hour. (If you're patient enough, let sit in the fridge overnight, π ).
Divide and create 8 or 6 balls from the dough. (Depending on how big you want the flatbread to be). Fry on each side over low medium heat for about a minute on each side.
I bet this would be good with custards or fruit based desserts, as well as sweet savory foods. (And that's my next task...What to try with these? π€. I tried with honey, meh, and butter, good).
I bet ground sunflower seeds, peanuts, cashews, or filberts would taste good in this as well.
I keep forgetting about this group. Anyway, just finished this today. I still have a few more changes to make, but I definitely have a good design down.
One thing I hope I can pull off, will be making the lobes bigger on the bag. I may be able to get away with slipping the purl stitches every other row. That might keep the creases from expanding with the lobes...Welp, won't know til I actually try it, heh!

Ok! Ok! Ok! Made the pie by baking the filling inside the shell rather than pre-cooking. (https://forum.lettucecraft.com/t/zucchini-rhubarb-and-blueberry-pie/24450 Where I posted my recipe and a few tidbits of info).
My thoughts, it does work, to an extent. The zucchini has the perfect texture, sort of apple pie like. However, I'd wager, about 5% of the zucchini still retains the squash flavor. As I noted in the update at the link, I think when I try this again, I'll partially cook the filling before hand, and chill it. That may speed up the infusion of the berries and rhubarb into the zucchini.
I'm still a little leery about that. Maybe only partially cooking the zucchini with a little vanilla to dilute the squash flavor would be enough.
It does work. Or it would work. It tastes just fine, rather good. Even the zucchini flavor isn't that bad, but it just needs that extra zing. I think I'll add some ground ginger, too. I know ginger works beautifully with rhubarb (at least it does in my rhubarb sweet bean paste in sweet gorditas). Wait...Hold a sec...Maybe partially boiling the zucchini with ginger instead of vanilla. That'd do it. That's it. That's what I'll do for the next time. I have my changes for Test 2...That I'll attempt sometime next week, I hope.
I had made a spread/mock jam, with rhubarb, blueberries, and zucchini, and it was damn good. So I've been trying to think of a decent method to utilize larger sizes and portions of zucchini to give a pie an apple pie like texture.
I'm guessing I wouldn't want to cook the fruit & zucchini in the pie, and therefore would be best to cook the filling before hand. However, I've never made a pie that way, and am unsure if the zucchini would overcook (translation: become mushy) if I cooked it for a second time.
Note: I know I could look it up. Heck, I could just go to the store and read a can of blueberry filling to get an idea...I just feel it'd be more fun to ask here, π
There are very very few entertainers that have ever choked me up, but damn Richard Simmons and Newhart are definitely on that list. Rest well.
