They’re actual imperialists and you can’t possibly deny it. This is not what the good guys say…

Anybody else have this going most of the time in the last couple of days?

This.

I’m not one to pay $25 a board foot for material, but hopefully this katalox will yield fretboards and bridges for at least four baritone ukuleles.

I took the day off to work on some of the many projects I've started and not finished. So far I've only started another project.

No matter how much I agree with it, or them, I can't get behind someone posting an image quoting themselves.

As we race to the bottom, others will make the most of our folly.

UPDATE: From the original poster of the letter on FB:

Truck Fump.

Men, we can decorate ourselves however the hell we want. A couple of days ago my bride painted a couple of my nails. I paint a few nails when I feel like it. Usually with a dark color, but I’ve always loved this color on her nails and it turns out I love it on mine too.

I was just listening to Lyle Brewer and lamenting my lack of ability as a guitar player. I’m ok… don’t get me wrong, but I’m not the player I wish I was. As with everything like it, I never really put the time in on woodshed fundamental practicing. Practice is always the answer.

Stuck out of town for work. The woodworker I was supposed to film is sick. Hopefully we’re on tomorrow. So I stopped by a guitar shop I’ve always wanted to visit and came close to buying a guitar. Free time can be dangerous.

Woodshop uke session. Doing my best Tropical Fish NYC (link in comment) impression. Korg Volca, play the song... get out.

I have two accounts on here. One is relatively anonymous. I loved that account and it's been fun to pretend to be just a random person starting with no biases and expectations, but I'm starting to think I should move to the one. It's too much of a pain figuring out which version of myself to be.

Wound up at Yale’s Woosley Hall again. Last time I was there I dug this stool and wound up interviewing the maker because I can damn it. www.finewoodworking.com/2025/03/07/s...

231st ranked bot takes out the 9th ranked bot. It was a good at at @nhrl.bsky.social

Kiddo did well enough that production thought we needed a “hero shot”. Sadly we didn’t get far enough for them to use it in primetime. Next time! Thanks for the video @nhrl.bsky.social

Knocked out of today’s event at @nhrl.bsky.social in the round of 32. We had a great day today though and KO’d the all-time 5th ranked bot in the world.
