Reverse first-world problems: What *good* thing happened to you today?

[Kaido]

Made fried chicken at home (mmm, panko). Unfortunately, ran out of every flavor of sauce known to mankind...no BBQ in the fridge. No honey mustard. Not even a jar of sweet & sour to be found. Miraculously, however, I found a couple small tubs of Chik-fil-a sauce in the back of the fridge.

Yissssssssssssssssss

Spent the entire day browsing the Internet, downloading porn, drinking beer and eating Cheetos. Now I'm watching a pirated feed of the Spurs/Cavs game.

I shoplifted a 4k tv today.

Mailed off my ballot for the April election today. Didn't even have to put on pants to vote.

Yesterday I finalized an electrical job in my basement, just perimeter outlets on the outside walls as I will be insulating so need to do electrical first. I turned on the 6 breakers for the different circuits and every single one worked and tested ok first try! Not that it's hard, but it's always nice when stuff works first try.

As for today, got invited for supper for one of my nephews' birthday, so free food and cake!

My tummy is full of delicious pizza and I can be thankful for that considering there are so many starving people in this fucked up world like DPRK and Africa.

The first world problem? I ate too much! Ohhhhhhh.

I have been wanting cast iron griddle for my Kamado Joe Jr. for awhile. But I couldn't find one that fit the small size of the grill anywhere for sale. But today while cleaning my garage, I found an old Lodge cast iron pan. It was the exact size I wanted but it wouldn't fit because of the long handle. So I grabbed a hacksaw and 5 minutes later, I had my custom made cast iron griddle perfect for my Kamado Joe Jr.

Nice! Quick tip I recently discovered - bamboo cleaning brushes for woks work amazing for cleaning out cast-iron skillets! After using the skillet, I hold it under the faucet while it's still warm & give it a quick scrub. The bamboo brush is really stiff, but gets all the baked-on crud off really easily. Plus they're super cheap:

Thanks for the tip! But I already ordered the chainmail scrubber.

Snagged a ryzen 1700 for $250 shipped, first piece of a rendering machine for my wife.

This thread needs a parody: " Reverse cowgirl problems." BAHAHAHAHA!

I didn't die - well at least so far

Nice morning. Bowled 183, 200, 195 and won all the pots. $40 bucks. Little things count.

Full belly, and very likely got this useless twat of an 'enterprise support' technician in hot water with his boss for his endless delays/non-helpfulness in troubleshooting a SAN/virtualization problem.

Remind me why in the world we have enterprise support contracts again?

my blog got two hits today! two!

I have a computer, an air cleaner, a lamp, and a fan going. I can afford the electricity for all of them.

Any time I want, I can go to the kitchen and choose from a variety of vaguely healthy foods and drinks.

I am fluent in the currently most important language in the world.

My neighbors like me.

I have never been raped or beaten, and I am big and intimidating enough to deter the vast majority of people who might otherwise want to try.

I have more DVDs, books, and clothes than I need.

Even when I whine like a pathetic child, God still looks out for me.

I ate delicious Al Pastor tacos.

My Community Plan Update project I've been working on for the last 3 years was finally adopted by the Board of Supervisors. I'm going to the bar after work, then I'm hopefully getting laid tonight....

Apparently New Zealand's south island has a hotel shortage that is supposed to get even worse this year. Fortunately I am an obsessive planner so even though we're going during peak season (Dec-Jan) I've been able to line up our ideal hotel options, even over NYE. Even this far out I'm seeing a lot of places close to being booked up so I feel bad for anyone trying plan much later than this

AND I've gotten Hilton point redemptions of 1.1, 1.0 and 0.95 cents when the generally accepted valuation is 0.4-0.5 cents. NZ is a great place for Hilton redemptions

I got a call from a guy while I was doing my weekly radio show and he said I'd made his day.

I like that. I'm looking at my 20" JVC TV that I brought home in 1989 by tieing the box to a skateboard. Yes, I rolled it home over a mile. Last time I tried to turn it on I couldn't figure it out. It's wired to a digital --> analog converter.
