i installed a 30’ flag pole at the end of our street 20 years ago at my expense. everyone loves it and a clean, new flag goes up every year just before our annual 4th of july picnic. is stands empty now.
I’m retired. I do carpentry, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical work for all my neighbors for free. Sometimes they repay me with chocolate chip cookies, which makes it all worth it.

neck shots are preferred. there’s a video of a man tipping his cap just before the shot. and no collateral victims in the line of fire. if it gets too fantastic they’ll shoot a random protester and claim he’s their man.

oh, i am totally building a new business next year. and i’m gonna be a rich republican donor and a wild success because epstein hasn’t got my name on any lists. i have $11 right now. that should be enough.

mom raised me to respect women, as equals. i was also an athlete (runner). years passed and i met a woman who could outrun me and, describing her admirable strength to mom, i said she had nice legs. mom raised an eyebrow and asked, “Toes at one end, pussy at the other?” i almost fell down.

my eBike charger was hot to the touch during use. i cut a hole in the case and installed a heat sink. now the case is slightly warm and the heat sink dissipates most of the high temps. i wonder why they designed these to burn themselves up? a small internal fan wouldn’t break the bank!

cloud storage? they call it that for a good reason; clouds blow away, you can’t depend on them, ever! dvd polymers relax over time=data loss. Flash memory=maybe it’s there when I need it. hard drive is the best choice followed by multiple hard drives in a RAID. how important is your life’s work?
