It's been awhile....

I've been busy, but that doesn't mean I've stopped learning things from Sparky! Here, in random order reflecting neither time of origination nor importance, are a few recent good ones:


The Shower Beer - This is a beer that you drink while you're showering. I didn't know this was a thing people do, but apparently it is. I've now had a couple and they're pretty great. Apparently other people think so too as this now exists; The Shower Beer Koozie http://www.shakoozie.com/ Yep.


Flat Black Spray Paint - Sparky says if you own something you don't like the looks of, spray paint it flat black and then re-evaluate. This tip has saved two pieces of furniture I was ready to throw out.


Jupiter Core - I'll be honest, I have no idea what this means. I wrote a note to myself about it when Sparky explained it to me but now I can't remember what the hell it refers to. The note just said "Jupiter core". I'll revisit this in a later post I'm sure.....


Ok - that's it for now - Merry Christmas, bitches.

Ebay searches I never would have done before....

Today I learned that old monkey wrenches are so cool. Really, check 'em out on eBay. Beautiful. I want to hang a whole wall of them.

PS - sub-lesson: monkey wrenches are for bolts, not pipes as is commonly thought.

Chapter One: Switches and Clamps

Electrical components are definitely not part of my normal repertoire. However, Sparky is trying to change all that. Pictures and descriptions of things like switches and clamps have begun to infiltrate my text strings and conversations. And quite honestly, I fucking love it.

Yep, new areas of knowledge are a great thing - An essential thing.

And so - this is the spot where I'll post all the cool things I learn from Sparky. Maybe you'll learn something too. Or maybe not - if you're some kind of smarty pants or some shit.
