Whoo, I just tried that trick on dented wood where you dampen it, put a damp cotton rag on it, then iron it. The heated water in the wood expands and gets the dent out. It freaking worked. Witchcraft! (I only recommended if you don't care about the wood's finish.)

Gah. With these horrible tariffs, I might actually test the crafters principle of S.A.B.L.E (stash acquisition beyond life expectancy) Was hoping to keep that very theoretical. On a related note, just left some voicemails for my Senators. Gah.

Folks trying to save USAID are trying to counterprogram Musk's $40 million Super Bowl ad. They're asking everyone to share this video as widely as you can today: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqUE...

Well, saw this critter this morning. He sat on the hill behind my house, outraging my dogs, for a good 15 minutes while I polished off breakfast and explained to the dogs why they couldn't go out and fight our visitor. I thought he was sick, but he then got up and trotted smoothly away.

I've been into paint by numbers for a while, though I'm slow at it. It's a good way to move my hands while turning my brain off. This one is from Winnie's Picks. Several of the paints were gummy or pale and needed to be doctored up with flow aid and a few drops from my Golden brand paint stash.

Turns out that $40 can get you 360 Lego frogs and a handful of butterflies. Behold!

About time I posted something happy/funny. My compliments to Zeb Ernest. The scary thing is that these little muppets look genuinely happy and well adjusted. 🤣

Just had a sample of the Eaton Fire ash that is in my driveway run on the department XRF. Is there titanium (new house paint)? Yup. Lead (old house paint)? You betcha. Heavy metals? Check. Treat that ash like it's toxic folks (because it is)

The tldr is use an N95, gloves, long sleeves, good boots and a tetanus shot or booster. The ashes and wreckage from this tragedy (or any other urban fire) is nothing to fool with. Wishing everyone comfort and safety.
