Paint n Paper

Home Improvements
Watch it transform from hell hole to hovel.  It's amazing what a little paint n paper will do... ok and some tiles.

Day 72

Posted 5/22/2020

Day SeventyTwo: Still mostly confined to home other than the odd essential job that needs taken care of. Request for this mornings breakfast... French toast... the boy has a crap load of bread he will never get through before it goes green... wait does Wonder Bread go green anymore or has it reached 'Twinkie Status' where the products life is measure in half-life rather than have an expiration date. This morning we finished enchanting our first tool in Minecraft, the Diamond PickAxe of Troth... Fortune 3! Collected the rest of the diamonds we had in our mine waiting for such a magic pickaxe to pull them from the ground (you get more when you mine with an enchant pick, Heather work needs one of these for the gold), finished making complete diamond armor and then went to mine our Netherite Scraps that were on hold... Lawson had a very lucky morning and we ended up with 15 pieces, I believe, one of the hardest items to find in the game. We upgraded some of our armor and now have unenchanted Netherite Chest Plate and Pants in Hardcore... something that may have never happened before in the game. Home-Made soup for lunch, some emails, insurance issues that needed dealt with and 2 vehicles that needed work took up the afternoon... We now need parts for both vehicles so despite a lot of wrench twisting and tire changing, we are not much further ahead of the game... wheel bearings need done bad, hoping the wheel doesn't fall of sitting in the driveway when let down off the jack stand. LOL Got up to about 26 Deg C today out there working... tell me why I was standing on Ice a few days back and now it's too hot out to work... I must have missed Spring... I think it was scheduled for Tuesday just past between 1 and 1:15pm... I think I was taking a shit and missed it. Heather made some Chicken Curry tonight... found some "Up Here" Hot birdseye peppers to add in to make it a little spicy... She asked how many she should put in... Um, like how many is in that little tray we got? About that many... I took one and ate half of it... if they sell it in a store up here, it's not hot, I don't care what the package says... ask me about the horseradish I wrote the company about because I thought the package was miss labeled as EXTRA HOT... it's like ya, I'm eating this by the spoon full straight out of the jar... um did it go bad or something? Anyway dinner was good, I had seconds and then Heather had to put the rest away so 3rds and 4ths were not an option. We talked a little about her work... this week along with getting certified to use the Electric Pallet Jack (ooh-ahh) she was also Elected Chief Safety Officer for her department, now I'm never going to hear the end of proper PPE and about wearing flip-flops in the workshop. LOL Lawson cued up a game down stairs for a little bit after dinner and Heather and I played some Scrabble... Not real Scrabble against each other... on the phones against the computer... it's nice when we can both win at the same time. So I Play all my tiles with the word 'Slikier' as in Silky but More-So... drop the y and add ier... I looked it up, it is in the dictionary they claim to use for the game... but No.. Denied... Would not let me play it... 102 points I didn't get... irks me. Meh what can you expect from a free game. I quit playing. Not quite a Rage-Quit, or a poor sport thing... more an OCD problem as I get squirrelly when things don't follow set rules... no rules I'm fine with, but set rules that are not being followed... Ummm, I have a problem with. Anyway it doesn't really take long or much reason to loose interest in a game of solitary, cards or other wise. Heather fell to sleep, I sent the boy to bed... now I'm contemplating a shower to get the rest of the driveway out of my hair. GN

BTW Ignore the Gold Pants, I wasn't just at the disco... you need to wear something Gold in the Nether now so stuff doesn't attack you... I didn't have time to change before Lawson took the Selfie.
