Below a DEK1, but I’m sure Bill can make you one for a DEK2 as well.

Both fit in normal jeans right pockets.

that's a cool little wrench! Although, I don't think that's a cone wrench, looks like a tool to keep your rack and fenders from shaking off.

I use cone wrenches almost every day. They're a necessary evil. I love to hate them.

did you finally lose all your 10mm sockets?

You are correct sir. That is not a cone wrench. It is thin and shitty. But insufficiently thin and shitty. And also too small...

I had to install some brackets on a generator I picked up and the quick start guide taped to the top said all I needed was 10mm and 13mm wrenches. I go and get the sockets, dig around for the wrenches with the 10mm being one of the last ones I pulled out of the toolbox and lo and behold, all the bolts and lock nuts are 13mm, I didn’t even need the damn 10mm!

Thats what I get for reading directions!

I don't typically remember song lyrics, I connect more to the music than the words. We'll, turns out that I don't really know songs to sing to my new daughter, so I'll just hum tunes I remember or make something up to amuse her.

I realized I've been humming the theme song from "Conan the Barbarian" to her, which she loves. Am I going to stop? Of course not.

Abigail really liked The Gambler and pretty much anything by Garth Brooks. :)

Yup.

And although I rarely go to cinemas nowadays, I do recall having been in one or two, where the audio was cranked way above THX specs. Didn't have Musicians plugs back then, but that would've been another great use. Able to hear the dialogue, and not have to literally stick my fingers in my ears during actions scenes and when the music score was peeling paint off the walls.

P.S.
Eargasm plugs are the exact ones I have, too. Tried the Etymotic Musicians plugs first. Learned the hard way, that those stupid stems that stick out, hurt your ears if they're bumped when someone goes to cup their hand over you ear to tell you something in a LOUD bar.

I might need to get some for watching with Nathan

That's really cool. Speaking of strange nesting choices. We currently have a Dark Eyed Junco that decided to make one of our hanging flower baskets right by our front door her nesting area. We couldn't figure out why this bird kept seemingly leaping out of the gutter and chattering at us.

Well, turns out she made a nest in the basket and there were already 4 tiny eggs in it. So now we're using the back entrance until things go their own way naturally.

This is our newest guest. He has to leave and go eat mosquitoes elsewhere. Right above my head as I'm walking through the door is not cool.1000005054.jpg

Did you really need to do that...?

I'll never get rid of this earworm now.

About 20 years ago my friend asked if I wanted to see Kenny Rogers for free where the audience was mostly a seniors casino bus tour. There was a visibly reluctant husband in the audience so Rogers told him he'd give him $10 every time he recognized a song. For a few songs he signaled him for a response and then handed him the $10 if he nodded. When he started The Gambler he just tossed him the money.
