About 2 months ago, I had 3 bears go through my back yard...a momma and 2 BIG cubs...I was only able to get a quick pic of the last "cub"...

a couple of mornings ago, I found this in my back yard along the same track:

Folks all over town have been reporting bears getting into their garbage cans, strewing garbage all over the place. The bear population seems to have exploded recently.

Looks tasty! Like raspberry ice cream.

Shower door started dragging on the sill. The frame be broke.

Dropped a square nut under the bottom hinge pin to raise it a tad. Gonna get more time out of it. And I can tell the boss that the mold is holding the frame together.

Maybe isn't a fwp.

Careless bastard. If that oak didn't weigh 8lbs (20x3.5x2.5) I'd have a broken finger or worse. Dumbass.

Table saw buck?
Got careless when I was squaring up the piece. Should have changed the blade but was too lazy. It didn't appreciate the thickness. Thought I was good slicing off small pieces at a time until I tried too much.

Lesson learned, hopefully, but doubtful. You know it takes 90 seconds to swap a blade...yeah.

Holy crap, Ma's 24hr care is $576/day. $210K/yr. She's gonna have to get over the broken hip sooner rather than later or we're all gonna be living in a box under a bridge.

Send her my way. I'll take care of her for only $200/day, and I'll even throw in a car wash once a week!

I have $100 in AWS hosting credits that I don't know what to do with, which expire at the end of the year. Any ideas?

Landscapers cut my cable line, causing me to lose internet.
It's Sunday so no one is at tech support so I emailed them.
I twist the coax core together, wrapped it in packing tape, then wrapped it in aluminum foil.
I am back online at full speed.

Just dropped my 2 week old phone in the grass and cracked the outside case. Man this surface duo is fragile. Currently contemplating a way to cover it. Thinking maybe some flextape to cover the damage.
