Cats keep making GBS threads in my potato beds. Is there an anti-cat drug? I'll plant some catnip elsewhere to make up for it.

We put up a bunch of netting over our onions/potatos/radishes and thats kept the cats out. I'll take some photos of it in a bit.

The relaxing of restrictions, known as Phase 2 Plus, comes into effect here on Monday. Bunch of my friends have started messaging me to see if I wanna meet up with them in the next few days cuz apparently Coronavirus is gone and there's nothing to worry about. I went to the city this afternoon to get meds, only to find much more people, especially more people breaking social distancing rules than usual. Twice I was in queues today where the people queueing behind me were standing too loving close to me, close enough to just be breathing down my neck.

I'm in two minds about meeting up with people again while this is all still very much in its early days. I wanna see my friends again and actually talk to someone that isn't my fiance for the first time since mid-March, but I'm very aware that I'm still in an at-risk group for COVID-19 and my fiance told me he'd be pissed off if I died before him.

Dude be careful with that oxy poo poo. Real question, cause I've been lucky to have pretty good teeth:

Do hospitals do tooth extractions? A dentist is a tough call rn, a face right in yours and someone digging around in mucus membranes etc. To say nothing of the money.

But look out for that oxy poo poo.


My rabbit's back of the head is a -10 on the Mohs hardness scale. It's the opposite of diamond. Everything scratches it, and boy he wishes you would.
Hospitals generally don’t do extractions. There are clinics that’ll do them for cheap based on your income. I had to use one for a wisdom tooth in St. Louis, it was called People’s Health Center, but I think they’re just in STL. But check if there’s one like it in your city.

Don’t worry about the oxy, I happen to have a prescription for something unrelated. If I take too many, I’ll run out before my refill and won’t be able to walk, so that’s enough motivation to keep me on schedule and not gobbling them all.

Learning that you can do a 3000km drive in three days by yourself, but it takes five when you have to bring a toddler with you. Without Paw Patrol and a tablet it might take a month.

One of my cats really hates the smell of mint, that might be worth a try (don't plant it in the bed, it spreads like a weed, maybe grow it in pots and put sprigs down). The other two don't seem to mind it though

I made a meal my mom used to make for me when I was a kid. WI has huge German population, it's basically little Germany, so we had some "inspired" stuff when I was young. This is a huge skillet of onions, garlic, potatoes, sauerkraut, and kielbasa sausage in a big ol' cast iron pan. I put a ton of paprika in it too because I love the color. I'm drunk right now and this is just perfect.



lol WI goon I make the exact same drat thing when I'm bacheloring it up :salute: (of note, if you take sriracha and a little honey+mustard (or even maple syrup+mustard), just a plop of it to a good part hot sauce, and fold it in at the end with your pan screaming hot, it'll scorch/caramelize the sugars in the sauces right onto the sausages and also kinda burn up the tips of the kraut just a TEENY TINY bit and give you that 'browned cabbage' note...fuggin owns)

I got some new cigars this week so I've smoked 3 of those already and they've been "pretty dang good" and "alright" respectively. The pretty dang good ones are Macanudo vintage '97s, which are p much exactly what I expected if a little tight on the draw, and the others are a gamble I took on something called a 'Rebellion' branded cigar in their 'Militia' offering (I know, I know, it was on sale and I wanted to try it) it's a 6.12x54 EMS wrapped deal with Nic/Hon filler. Is ok. Have yet to smoke the third offering I got, and Undercrown Robusto from a 5 pack they had on a 50% off sale. Had I read up more before my order, I might have just picked up 2 or 3 of these 5 packs at that price point. Ah well. We'll see how much I like it.

Otherwise yesterday I had a massive campfire in my burn pit to clear up ever more yard waste, and either thursday or friday I destroyed something in my back that I fear might be Lowtax-lite style because good gently caress I think my spine is twisted into an S shape and I can't really stand up or walk anymore. So. That's been fun and I feel like a useless jackass on this really awesome weekend other than starting poo poo on fire. At least my wife's been understanding. :( She's too good for me, as freaking ever, my dudes.

I'm sad that quarantine is ending. It had literally no effect on my personal life because reasons, and no effect professionally because "essential services". But the stupid party house outside my apartment had been silent for three months, which was great. Ugh, one day I'll have my hate-hole hovel in the middle of nowhere, where I don't have to deal with people.

Also, during quarantine I've been doing my usual stuff. Which is identical to social isolation. Definitely wish it was a permanent thing as part of fulfilling some conspiracy theory to do with some Communist one-world-government. The idiots should be right about something, just because it'll be funny.

Every night in our apartment block since mid-March has been whisper-quiet with no house parties and loud tourists thundering into the building at 4am shouting the place down. I realised that the block was also almost as quiet during the day, save for a couple kids on the ground floor and third running around in the afternoon.

Then I realised why it was so quiet: over half the apartments in the block were AirBnBs, and are now sitting empty.

It's a very special bread day. There's been no whole wheat flour for sale so I ordered 10lb of freshly stone-ground flour from a nearby mill at an exorbitant price. I was rewarded with a 100% whole wheat loaf with a tender and open crumb that's impossible with regular commercial flour. I could give up white flour forever for this loaf right here. It's fuckin delicious.

treat it like quick rise yeast and you'll be fine.

From what I've seen it's meant to be used with stuff like pizza crust that gets pounded out flat and worked a lot and so has some "conditioners" in it and works with other things that you can add to dough to assist with that type of 'flat bread' style (pizza crust, right?) but, if you're not doing that, just pretend you have instant yeast and don't overly slam your dough around like it's a pizza crust and I bet you're good to rock n roll.

i've been baking bread for a while because whenever i would buy a loaf it would go moldy before i could finish it so i'd have to freeze it, which is ok. but when you bake it at home it seems to last longer. and i can make a nice whole wheat or rye sourdough which i really enjoy. and it's a fun thing to experiment with

I'm re-learning how to knit. I learned about seven or eight years ago, made a few pieces, then my box of supplies went untouched for about five years. I've got plenty of time to pick it up again!

Nice!

I tried knitting maybe 2 years ago but I found it to be pretty difficult. I brought up a small hobby table into my living room last year and haven't touched it. Mostly due to broke brain reasons but I really need to try something out again. I could just sit here and knit and watch the Big Bang Theory all night! I keep saying I'll try it again but I never do. One of these days I'll walk the 10 feet to my table and do something.

edit: drat I have a ton of stuff on here that I forgot about
