spacetoaster posted:Would you guys say it's been beneficial over the course of your life? I used to just walk into the woods as a kid with my dog. Tell my parents essentially nothing about where I was going cause I didn't know either. Didn't smelt ore or nothing, just whacked saplings apart with sticks pretending to swordfight and chucking rocks at skunks and stuff. Didn't learn fuckall useful *except* one time when I was maybe 10 my mom, who commuted for a while to work in the city had one of her work friends stay over with her kid to give him a weekend in nature. We had about a 1.5 acre yard, not huge or nothing, for the area, and before we're even to the edge of the lawn, we hadn't even lost sight of the house, the kid starts freaking out like we're gonna get lost 'alone' in 'the woods'. So I couldn't say exactly what it is I'd learned but by observing a person who hadn't, I'm sure glad I did. I think I learned more growing up poor than rural. Basic survival skills when stuff is always broke but there's no money to fix it proper. Got a number off a girl by fixing her toilet in the middle of a kegger at her house in college. Chain had slipped off the lever in the tank is all. Walked in, shut the door, fixed it in two seconds, waited fifteen more so people would think I was super smart but not suspect that the problem's solution was so dead simple as to not be worth getting impressed over, and the party is saved.

drat chain slips off pretty often, doesn't it? Ages back in college my roommates were freaking out and all but about to get a plumber when I insisted I take a looksie and thankfully that's all it was so I fixed it with no trouble. Totally looked like a genius, too. Gotta remember to give it fifteen next time so it seems like I'm really having a go at it and really build the image. Mrs. Frogge and I were pretty quick to set up our garden as soon as our area went to lockdown. We just finished our first batch of lacto-fermented radishes from the first crop we've gotten out of the garden this season, too. Threw in some sliced garlic with it and it's really hit the spot.

This for me, but it was with everyone else in high school (teachers included) not knowing what a SCART cable was. They all thought I was a genius TV repairwoman.

Yesterday, right before supper my wife and I started to smell KFC. It was really, really apparent and was wafting all over the house. We finally tracked it down to a skip the dishes order that ended up on our step instead of the neighbour's. I think I know what we're going to be having for supper tonight.

Before I had a chance to consider my words, I yelled "Aw goddammit, can'tcha show a little fuckin class!" when my bunny in his excitement for breakfast kicked over his water dish and tossed half his hay and bedding out of his box to get at his veggies, making me late for work. I wasn't trying to be funny or weird and it's not the kind of phrasing I normally use, and even if I did I dunno why I'd apply the concept of 'showing class' to an excited varmint. So basically, losing my mind, but in a fun way. I'm turning into Eddie Valiant.

so I’ve had no alcohol in a week, and I’ve worked and gone right home with no excursions besides jogging (with a mask) exactly like we are all supposed to, and got a hankering for a 7-11 cardboard pizza and some bud lite “clamato” one of my favorite ironic alcoholic beverages. 7-11 has a delivery app so I gave it a shot. I just watched a guy drop my pizza into the street, panic, take the rest of my order back to his car and then peel out DRIVING OVER THE PIZZA lol  I’m not even mad, you couldn’t pay for this kind of entertainment. Poor guy, they’ll just refund my order he doesn’t have to run off

Here's a whole bunch of random garbage I have drawn over the past month: Sometimes I Feel Like a Virtual Boy (red ink on black paper and 9"x12" - it's hard to get this thing to look as good in a picture as it does in person)  (White ink on black paper) the rest are all fineliner on various papers (and a little bit of acrylic marker)  Everyday Summertime Phoenix  No Good Title  This isn't the final version, I unfortunately left the final version halfway across town and can't get it until later. Complete with amigara faultline reference  And there's a jpeg of a spaceship that I'm drawing that has a city in the basement ??? Where are my star citizen dollars And some smaller stuff:      I abandoned this because I have no idea what I'm doing with it but it still catches my eye all the time:  Stay tuned for my "Cities in Predicaments" coffee table book this Fall... deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 03:38 on May 30, 2020 |

Spent today working on my new raised gardens (I'll post a pic later). Also weeding my regular, in the ground, garden. I bought a new hoe (my wife's face when I told her I got a new hoe, lol). It's got kind of a U shaped end, instead of the regular flat bladed one. It is a MUCH better design. Holy cow.

It's not easy for me to get to the post office right now during the pandemic to mail things. I was literally planning on starting a shop the same week that all of this started  If you have an instagram you can follow me here and I'll post when there's a shop open: https://www.instagram.com/bleaksploitation/ Or otherwise I'm going to be paying for prints to be made of things in the next 7 days sometime and then I will probably be more serious about starting a store and I'm sure I will post it here if I do!

Alright, I said I would post photos of my new raised garden. I bought a 24' section of 48" diameter corrugated steel pipe. I've cut it into 35" (in length) sections. Here's my boy on it:  Here's one of the cut sections:  Here's one, painted, leveled, and in position:  I got the idea from watching this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHsfsZHnZvE I've never been big on raised gardens because I've only ever seen the wooden, or concrete, ones. One likes to rot and attract termites, the other is a big hassle. When I saw that youtube guy I knew I had the answer. My kids, and I, are now on the prowl for someone in our town to put bags of leaves/grass clippings down at the road and we'll use them to fill the things up to half way. I've got a dumptruck of top soil coming in next week that I'll use to fill them the rest of the way.
