Thursday miscellanea #192

• Saw about 79% of The Avengers Tuesday night with BamaDan and our boys.  Aaron wasn’t feeling well, so we bailed for a bit in the middle and the end.  Had a good time, and looking forward to finishing it on Blu-ray.
• My second hot sauce order is here.  Highlights include the trio of Heartbreaking Dawns’ milder sauces, a double-up of Mad Anthony’s XXXTRA HOT Private Reserve, and a bottle of Fear, which checks in at 1,075,000 Scoville units.  Considering my experience with Blair’s Mega Death (550,000 Scoville units), I don’t anticipate going any higher on the scale.  But we’ll see!
• Today I was presented with yet more evidence that I would find dating in the present absolutely exhausting.  You know, I think I’d just skip it.  It would take something terrible happening for me to be without Lea, but if I did find myself there, I think I’d be single until the boys were grown.
• Two of my loyal soldiers—a small compressor and a spotlight—seem to have lost their internal rechargeable batteries.  I’ll have to see about replacing their non-replaceable batteries soon.  (Ooh, especially the compressor.  It’s practically a friend.)
• Speaking of that compressor, it’s really incredible how much easier my riding mower is to steer when I actually air the front tires up.  Duh.
• Do you know what a Wilhelm scream is?  If not, and you’re a movie fan, then don’t click to see what it is.  I thought it was kind of cool picking them out here and there for a while, but now I mostly find it distracting.
• RIP, Henry Hill.
