Looked out the window this morning and I couldn't help but notice that our office building was surrounded by police officers. My spidey sense suggested that maybe things weren't going too well. Things definitely took a turn for the worse when one officer started pounding on my window. Our newest employee had set off the silent alarm while trying to let a slightly less newish employee into the building. The other employee told the new employee that there was a button at the reception desk that opened the front door. There isn't.
My CSR's 20yo daughter is a bit nuts. CSR came home from the store, made several trips in and out of the house with groceries. On the last trip, she's met by several cops, pistols drawn....her daughter was upstairs, called the cops and said someone had broken in the house.

Ground to kick her out.

Was refilling my sugar jar and noticed this.


I guess I can understand Sustainable. But Vegan and Plant Based? I mean did they develop a carnivore, animal sugar cane? Otherwise why would you need to differentiate?

Well a lot of kids these days are confused so they need to make sure that these kids know where their sugar is coming from instead of being extracted from the blood of animals fed on sugar!

Mixed up a batch of Glyph 41 in a 15 gallon trailer sprayer. Took my eye of it for a minute and found that it had overflowed on the driveway ... near a bunch of plants I want. Took the hose to it and diluted the overflow by probably 100-1 at least. Hope it's OK. The stuff I use is only supposed to work if it gets on the leaves, not if it seeps into the ground. I guess we'll see.

Home box is locking up. We only use it for surfing. Granted it is a 2013. I should just use the raspberry Pi but lazy wins today.

A retirement councilor walked me through the the tax implications of traditional IRAs and required minimum distributions. I bit the bullet and made the switch from contributions to my traditional 401k to a Roth 401k. F'! I'm with Red now on tax policy. I'm only one paycheck in and I want my tax shelter back. Now I get to do some rollovers, double f'.

I had an echocardiagram Tuesday and was informed I have a Thoracic Aortic Aneurism (TAA).
Snuggled right up there next to the heart for easy echo finding.
That's a first world problem because healthcare plus cardiologist = discovery.

In the third world, you would not have a new cardiologist who prescribed an echo for his new patient, based on my having Covid and how that has been linked to changes around the heart. It is also good policy in general.
Without discovery and tracking, it just gets bigger (or not) until it dissects or ruptures with an immediate 85% chance of dead, Jim.

Interesting, covid caused? How big does it have to be before they crack your chest?

Bro in law just avoided the widow maker. Dude is 175lbs, zero body fat and takes down trees for a living. Bad genes. His wife was not supposed to be home..he starts having symptoms..she runs 5 red light and a train crossing. Dr said he'd be dead if she hadn't.

Google "aortic aneurysm and covid"
First result is interesting
American heart Association chimes in
This study out of Wuhan , woah

Tons of that sort of data.
I had an issue and cath lab trip in 2017, which also has echo results showing the growth of the aorta. It is up more than 10% since that echo and crossed the line.
I also gained back a ton of weight which can also cause that enlargement.
It is around 4 cm. They tend to wait until it gets to 5 cm and it is not always an open heart surgery.
They can tip toe through the aorta with their little toolkit and fix it from inside.
Fricken magical.

I always check out the cheese section when I go to Ralphs, last month I decided to start adding some smoked mozzarella to the pizzas I make every week. I'd always see a pile of them, but now that I want to buy them they've only had them 1 time in the past month. And I don't have the setup to smoke my own cheese or I'd just do it myself.

A little smoked Mozz on top of a pizza in addition to the regular mozz is so good. Now I gotta fuckin buy some shit so I can start smoking my own, ugh.

That's pretty slick, but I don't own a Wok, and even if I did cheese has to be cold smoked or it will melt. That would work awesomely for making a smoked cheese dip though I bet.
So add a second chamber and funnel the smoke that way with a chinmey. Just get a cheap wok from Chinese supermarket.
