I was in bed. Last couple days kicked my ass. Been working a lot at ground level, so my knees and back are angry.

Split wood yesterday, but my bad finger started feeling weird, so I did most of it swinging an axe one armed. I was afraid I rebroke the finger. I don't think I did, but the vibration wasn't doing it any favors.

Next time try using an axe instead of a tripod?
 
My S22 Ultra is starting to stutter during games. And not just the latest graphically intense ones - games that ran fine on my Note 9.

Can anyone say "planned obsolescence"?

Last 🐹 died and they had to wait till the hamster shop opened to buy a new batch of slaves work hamsters.

Interestingly my default fallback ended up being the AT Discord (the true one for real believers, not the fake one made by heretics).

I booked a $36/night motel room for next week. I’m curious as to how bad it will be.

I did this the other week and the guy on the reception desk said "and will you be wanting the room for the entire night?"

I went through perplexed, amused, concerned and amused very quickly!

Place was OK tbf and very cheap!

I bought an entry level Neato robo-vac in…2016? Thing worked pretty well…so well that when the screen died a couple of years ago, i bought their high end model…a couple of months later, Neato filed bankruptcy and is no longer in business. :colbert:
Robo-vac still works pretty damned well though.
 
when ATOT went out, i think i died because i don't remember anything after crashing to the floor

but then unexpectedly i woke up hours later, and when i checked my computer ATOT was available again

i'm afraid my life might be tied to the One Forum
 
Used to be a $30+ room was the expensive upgrade. Used to get $15-20 rooms all the time. Very nice ones too. Some even included coffee and breakfast.

That's back when the little Mom&Pop places were scattered all along the roadside.

The chains like Holiday were few and far between and pricey.

i did that once in jacksonville about 10 years ago

and left 30 mins later when i found cigarette burns and butts all over the bed, and a crazy homeless guy walking the hallway outside my room
 
Cheapest room I ever had was a $30 Motel 6 off the interstate in Kansas City, OK.

Room was actually really clean and well kept.

Hookers in the lobby hit on me which was really sweet of them and was a real confidence pick me up that I needed.

It never occurred to me at the time that all the people out on the terrace chatting at 11:00pm at night were people living out of the cheap rooms to avoid homelessness or there for hook-ups.

Bought a smoke off a guy for a quarter, chatted for a couple minutes then I took a shower and went to sleep.

The other day I was splitting wood, alternating between axe and wood splitter. Had some that were tough enough that the splitter was tripping my 2kw inverter lol. Never had that happen before. The wood splitter motor would shut off probably due to low voltage and if I kept forcing it, it would turn off the lights in the shed and I'd hear the inverter beep and reset. That was some tough wood. 😱 Had to split in smaller sections at a time.

Got a new splitting axe that works well too, but on that wood I may as well be trying to split it with a sledge hammer.

It's worth having a maul/wedges to break tough wood. Some of it is just too much though, and I use a chainsaw. Spruce yard trees can surprisingly kick your ass. The wood by itself is easy to split, but they have so many branches, it locks the stem wood together, and if you manage to get it apart with wedges, you get these twisted, curved pieces that bend around the knots. More work than it's worth for spruce, but I have my pick of amazing hardwoods down here. Up north you get what you get and deal with it.

If you wanted to split with a saw, you'd need a gas saw, or maybe something custom built using mains power. They don't make a battery saw that can keep up with long rips through wood.
 
I have done it with my Greenworks chainsaw surprisingly. It feels like cheating, but it works. 😛 Sometimes I'll also just buck it half size for the ones that are hard to split, like instead of 16" I'll do like 8". Then it's easier to split. Will usually end up making kindling out of those instead of trying to stack shorter logs.
