I’ve been putting up temporary balustrades to replace our other temporary balustrades which were made from plywood and 2x4. Bought these kits which use aluminum tubes from Amazon, but the process is so much work. Next time I want pre-made ones. So many fussy holes and cheap Philips head screws 😾.

Tiger breakfast = orange Chorizo and eggs, soooo good! Hash browns the color they are supposed to be. Plus sourdough toast.

These are successive ads from the Chevy Volt message board but in my mind they are related. Yes, shorting out all your outlets with pliers will open the breaker or fuse and significantly reduce your electric bill. Genius!

Happy birthday! Cake!

I feel called out by this post. What about saving the open ended wrenches made from stamped 20ga mild steel?

Today’s Tiger enrichment: Picking up random items to solve a puzzle. All those adventure puzzle games trained you for home ownership. How to twist the railing back into shape so you can drill and screw it in, but you only have 2 hands? Assemble items you found along the way to solve it!

This stuff is absolutely good to use on my brand new Kia right? 😼 (I don’t have a brand new anything, I used it on the table saw and not the car, it still had that lovely solvent smell I remember) (This can is possibly older than most of the people following me on BlueSky)

Remember kids, if you want to draw a sunrise with a giant, foreboding, Gozer the Gozarian dark cloud — just go ahead and do it, nature has no rules when it comes to clouds.

Lazy groundskeepers show up whenever they want, no schedule. Don’t even cut the grass evenly. Plus they poop everywhere, it’s like somebody dumped a Costco sized box of raisinettes out there. One ⭐️

Rare life experience worth celebrating today, cuz this NEVER happens. My six point 10mm Craftsman wrench returned from walkabout. I have not seen it for 7 years I’m guessing, based on the items packed with it in the box. What to do with the no-name Amazon replacement next to it now?

Based on the feedback from here I'm going to invent a product that nobody knew we needed. The prototype bits for the 2027 must-have furry fashion accessory have been ordered. If necessity is the mother of invention then furry is the gay uncle of invention. Gentlemen behold: The CPAP pup hood!

Follow up question: Who has a full beard and has a CPAP mask that seals well? I tried nose pillows a few times and kept ripping the headgear off while sleeping. Not shaving the beard cuz it is registered as a historic treasure given my age and how long I’ve had it.

So who out there has done the home sleep apnea test? I had a sleep lab test done more than 25 years ago and it was one of the worst nights of sleep I’ve had in my life. With today’s insurance market it would cost $2000 cuz deductible so I wanna try the home test. Any suggestions?

Got the cookie cutters from Amazon, they are a challenge to get to release, takes some practice and some fiddling. Dough is a lemon shortbread / sugar cookie hybrid I found online. Normally we get these proper British tea biscuits but the shipping / tariff is brutal these days.

If you ever second guess yourself about buying stuff related to your fursona, my advice is: Don’t. Lean into it. Hard. In the immortal words of MTV: “Too much is never enough.”

Wait! That’s my actual cat cat! When did they make this commercial? What did they do with my regular furniture?

Here’s the video - absolutely this much fur comes off my cats when they blow their winter coats. No edits, this is a direct Screencap.

You’re right, when I click on it there is no video, it only showed up in an ad in between other listings. Weird. Search for small slicker brush and it might come up. You can see the second head starting to sprout in this frame. The brush tugs the fur and flexes the ear.

I’m not sure but I’m beginning to suspect this Amazon product video might be AI generated. They are removing way too much hair from this unbothered cat, plus when they… Oh my god!

Now I remember why I had this area of the basement covered with shelving. Check out the concrete work. Never feel bad about your DIY skills, unless you’re the previous homeowner of this place. You need to reconsider your capabilities sir.

Chorizo and eggs and hash browns. Orange food for an orange tiger. So good.

Are you missing any of these skinny cross brace parts?

This tiger is so full of pepperoni pizza. I think I ate 7 of the 8 slices. I have some regrets. Delicious, pizza grease and rum filled regrets.

We need to get our Zootopia tiger dancer shorts to be part of the harem. Vince has very strict uniform requirements. Ralkor is ahead of the curve here in this photo.

Poseidon giving me his: “Most alert cat face ever” His golden eyes have another smaller green eye inside that is also wide open.

Tiger themed art from traffic controller box in La Grande, OR. The high school mascot is the Tigers of course.

Tiger watering can search did not pan out the way I expected it to.

The data is in. If I want to sleep through the night I just need to do 20,000+ steps while clearing a pickup truck load of brush and weeds the previous day. Good to know. Life hack: work yourself to exhaustion and you also can get 9 hours of sleep. 😾

First day off from school, I did some long deferred landscaping. Now I feel terrible, I think I may have over done it. I’m not a young cub anymore, I’m a long in the tooth big cat. Hopefully I’ll get a full 8 hours of sleep tonight as a side benefit.

Did you get these up in MA? I grew up outside of Philly so this was from Pathmark but according to Wikipedia Price Chopper licensed the no frills “brand” as well. The 80s were an interesting time. The off brand “potted meat food product” next to the smokes is quite the choice.
