Black Friday miscellanea

  • Meghan Trainor did the halftime show at the Cowboys-Redskins game yesterday. Several primal components of my being continue to approve heartily of Meghan Trainor.
  • I actually went out and commerced today. I went to Publix, because the single best time of the year to go to the grocery store is Black Friday morning. And then I went to O’Reilly to get an oil filter for Lea’s car.
  • I crockpotted chili all day today just to put it in the fridge so we could crockpot it some more tomorrow. We had a sausage day to keep us out of it. Such struggles we suffer.
  • I recently purchased a wristwatch with a strap intending to replace it with a bracelet, and for the first time in nearly 20 years messing around with watches, have encountered curved spring bars. I had no idea these things were out there, and the lugs are drilled unusually deeply. It’s not a straightforward swap. Again, such struggles we suffer.
  • Douglas Rain, the voice of HAL in 2001: A Space Odyssey and 2010, has died at 90. God be with his family and friends. RIP.
  • Used this successfully yesterday morning. Was trying to clear the clog with my compressor earlier and lost my blow gun in the duct. I guess it’ll be there for the life of the house now, or maybe until I can fetch it with a drone.
  • Got our Solo Blu-ray, because we’re not Star Wars hate bandwagoners. Looking forward to seeing the train robbery again.
  • Guys Night Out is the best commercial of the football season. Candles is runner-up. Interesting that they’re both insurance ads.

  1. Not sure of your duct setup, but you might be able to fish your gun with a magnetic measuring tape. I’ve successfully fished multiple metal things from ducts and pvc.

    • I appreciate the suggestion. I may give that a go. It was/is a cheapie that I’ve already replaced, so no worries if it just becomes something for someone to wonder about after I’m gone. 🙂
