Accidentally scheduled valentines day dinner reservations during the Super Bowl. How to tell my spouse?

Make it a regular night out dinner and schedule dinner for the 14th.

Unless you're somehow an Rams fan... I'd say keep it. NFCCG is basically the SB this year.

Made a vegetable bowl, and wanted my rosemary seasalt on it, but grabbed the smoked salt instead. It's fine, but not what I wanted :^/

edit:
and the jalapeño has no heat :^(

I hate jalapeños with out heat.

Yeah, they just have a weird, grassy flavor. They're fine, but if I want a pepper for its taste, I'm going Hatch.

Hatch chiles USUALLY have a bit of heat…some compete with jalapeños.

Yeah, they're my favorite for sure. I like adding some to my beef jerky marinade. New Mexico has it figured out.

I don't think I've ever had Hatch. I've had Hatch flavored stuff, where it's a powder or something added, but not the fresh pepper. I've liked the flavored stuff I've had.

I was watching a YT video about a couple that's been married since '99. The top comment said some shit about "it's beautiful to see a couple that's been married since back in the days and are still so happy together."

Since when in the hell is '99 considered back in the day? FUCK that comment made me feel old lol. The damn internet was around in '99 for shitsakes.

I received a tax form from a financial institution and apparently I'm a farmer but not a member of a coop. If I fill out the correct IRS form, I can save $2 on my income tax. It is tempting.

An audit would be fun.
IRS: What is the nature of the business which qualified you for this deduction?
Me: I have no idea. The amount was shown on this box so I stuck it in that box and $2 popped out of my air conditioner.

Cat ranching.

I punched it in and, due to rounding, the tax savings is precisely zero.

I have to shovel snow *and* dress in layers. Any time I'm dressed in layers, I am sad.

Also, work is closed, but I'm off on Mondays, so I miss out on a free day off. Bastards!

 

[lxskllr]

Layers are great! No sweating, no freezing. I just had a single jacket, and took it off after I started. Good day for shoveling snow. Cool and no sun.

Here's my shovel...



I'm showing it to feature the wax. Keep your shit waxed, and snow doesn't stick. Lifting it twice is stupid.

 

[IronWing]

You find that shovel in a coal bin?

Flea market or antique shop. Can't remember. I got it in the early 90s. Best guess is it was made between 1930 & 1950.

 

[VashHT]

Think it would take me like 3 times as long to shovel with something that small lol, I just have a big plastic shovel with a big kind of hexagonal handle. makes it easy it push with your whole body weight when there's like 4 inches of wet snow. It's got a metal edge too so not too bad for scraping ice and such.

 

[lxskllr]

Stick and toss. Speed > quantity. It does hold a lot though if the snow clumps. I've dug out with an entrenching shovel. Not ideal, but you can move stuff quick since it weighs nothing.

 

[Chaotic42]

I will say this - it's very pretty outside. The sky is actually properly blue, something that never seems to happen here in St. Louis. I think we ended up with about 9 inches, but it was very powdery. Took maybe 90 minutes, which isn't bad given how much I have to shovel.

Also, this weather is affecting my supply deliveries for my hobbies. Delivery drivers are replaceable, there are millions of them out there. My days off are precious.
