You eat the whole thing and then pop off to the hardware store (with a stop for a quick burger along the way)

Tuesday night is ok for rad dads to have a beer, two days done, but really more like half because friday doesn’t count. On a more serious note I have a dryer repair guy coming Thursday, because using the laundromat is not rad.

DarkSoulsTantrum posted:Did you clean out the vent hose? People may clean out the lint trap but usually forget about that. My neighbor at my old house had a mass of lint peeking out the exhaust vent hood on the side of their house. I imagine there was probably a ton of lint all the way up to the dryer just waiting to start a fire.

Last year our dryer was drying poorly and smelled like burning so I pulled it out to check the vent hose and it was almost completely blocked by mouse poo poo and nest material. The little bastards had come in through the outside vent and made themselves at home. I think the only reason it hadn’t caught fire was because they had chewed through the foil on the hose so I guess they could leave when it got too hot, but at least some air was getting out. Anyway it required a trip to Lowe’s and a ruining of my evening but it was still cheaper than a new dryer or having someone come out, or you know, my house burning down.

Check the drier vent every Saturday, after you blow off the driveway with the air compressor.

If you pay to get it repaired, or get a new one, it's a wonderful opportunity to complain to your family about how much it costed you

DarkSoulsTantrum posted:Did you clean out the vent hose? I checked the air flow on the outside and it’s throwing out air like crazy. Suburban dad tip: be careful checking dryer hoods outside because some wasps made a nest in mine last year! It’s probably either the thermostat or heating element, but I lost my dadly multimeter cables so I can’t check myself. Good excuse to order more tools though!

After the mouse incident I put exterior vent covers on all of the outside vents. So far have worked as intended.

Derpies posted:Any other cooking suburban dad's here? My wife no cook good is trying to elbow her way back into the kitchen but that is Dad's Domain (and I don't like eating mystery surprise). How do I handle this problem in the most suburban dad way possible? I’ve found that barely suppressing disappointment at her cooking while jumping at the chance to cook worked after like 15 years After 25 years we are at a decent equilibrium. I made a remarkable beef and Guinness stew tonight and she made good mashed potatoes. Along with some lovely light IPA with green food coloring and dumb Irish hats for the kids, I figure that’s more or less as good as it gets Sorry what were we talking about again

Found some candy corn that expired last July. They're a little chewy but still taste good.

Looking to get a nice hammock, saw a self contained one at Costco last time we went but balked because even folded up it just seemed too bulky. My in laws have the perfect spot for one, under a leafy gazebo in their back yard but our own yard doesn't seem to have many good anchor points in comparison. It's funny, we gifted them two hammocks we got on a Mexico trip years ago and I inevitably got more use out of it than my father in law. Looking forward to grilling season, every time I cook I get a little bit better at it. My in laws, not being BBQ snobs are quite impressed which is a huge compliment considering they are good cooks themselves.

Professor Shark posted:Hey when did sauerkraut start tasting this good? You can easily make your own. Shred 16oz of cabbage and add 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Kneed it in a bowl, like you're making bread, and work the salt into the cabbage for about 5-10 minutes. You'll see some liquid in the bottom of the bowl which is a good sign. Put all that in a mason jar and tamp it down. Put the lid on and store in a dark cool place for a week. I put mine on sandwiches to give is a nice crunch.

Same with sandwiches, man. My dad makes his own in large ceramic jars. I don't think I’m there yet, though, and will just buy $2 PC Brand wine sauerkraut until I inherit them Edit: I’m posting at the mall while I wait for my partner and niece to finish up in Hollister, feels Suburban Dadish tbh

One guy was waiting outside the Bath & Bodyworks on his phone like me, then his wife came out and told him she was going to another store I think, so he just stayed in the same spot outside B&BW Another guy was there with his son and looked like he felt he should be doing something.

$139 for something you’re gonna noodle with for 3 weeks and then never touch again is the perfect dad bargain.

Real suburban (52) dad story here: My best friend has been learning guitar for the past few years and wants to put a dad-band together and actually play gigs. He got put in a "school of rock" with some other dads at the music store where he takes lessons. He has been begging me to play bass (LOL) in the band. I am a firm no. Reason #1: I played in bands when I was supposed to: my teens & 20s, been there, done that. Reason #2: they are going for ultimate stereotypical dad band...all the SAME lovely SONGS that every dad band plays. I have no idea where they could even get a gig playing that...never mind that they are prob not very good. My counter offer is that I would play in his dad band IF we all dressed in drag and only played songs from all girl bands. He's not going for it.

JeffLeonard posted:Real suburban (52) dad story here:  The last guy pestering me to join a band was about 10-12 years ago. At the time I had no drum set but he wanted me to run right out and buy one so I could join his band. The band was him on lead guitar, his son and few of his son's friends. He went on and on about this Yes song he worked up and how he had the solo down pat. I tried to explain to him that the last thing people want to hear from a over band is a 20 minute Yes song but he was adamant. In my town there's a lot of brew pubs with patios that have Dad Bands playing on the weekends.
