to clarify, it's for the pups. there was a crazy sale and I got this piece for like $4 a couple weeks ago. I just don't want to totally kill it and choke one of them, is really what it is. or, leave it half raw....which I know their systems can handle some stuff raw, but par-cooking allows for bacterial growth and they aren't eating the whole thing in one shot. I think I'm gonna just slice it and throw it in the big pan, like wvu said. I'm already filling the dishwasher tonight with my tacos and black beans 'n rice, so if I can do two things in one pan, that's a win. That makes sense. You could also grind it if you have a grinder.

Back from Kodiak. Sunday morning early, there wasn’t much open. We went to a local coffee shop, which was a lot like walking into Cheers with the locals. You guys off the cruise ship? Yep. Bears are starting to rouse, be careful they’re hangry. Yeah, if I got woken from a 5 month nap, I’d probably pretty hangry too!
TD went out to take some pics, but it was starting to sprinkle (I had such hopes for no rain). I came back to the ship. At this point, I’m about to go find some lunch. He zonked at 9:15 last night, was up at 5 so he got breakfast. Unfortunately, for the third night in a row I saw 2 am, so woke up right before we needed to go through immigration.
I grabbed a coffee to go on the way out. They wouldn’t allow anything but water be taken off the ship. Coffee is mostly water…..right?

I've been to Walmart and back, and there's some boneless chicken thighs currently marinating in a cilantro/tequila lime bath for grilling later today. I may have mixed myself a tequila sunrise while I prepped. next up is cooking for the pups, I'm gonna try my hand at cooking London Broil that was on a ridiculous sale a couple weeks back, that's a treat for their dinner tonight. then there's two big family packs of ground beef and kale. any tips on the LB? I thought I could cook it in the hard anodized deep fry pan I'm going to use for the beef/kale, just to not be dirtying another pan. is that a good idea? You cooking it for the pups or you? London broil is best if you do a quick sear and don’t overcook it or it gets too tough. I have used it for stir fry in the past, but prefer it done on the grill. It doesn’t have a lot of fat in it, so turns to leather fast. How do the pups feel about a kale/beef stir fry?

I am so tired of coughing. At least it wasn't as severe last night. I'm going to achieve a six pack just through hacking my brains out multiple times a day. So freaking sore. My voice is back at least. I'm still gravely but people can hear and understand me. Coughing always seems to be the last symptom of a cold…..and makes it linger longer than it should. I guess all the damage the rhinovirus does to the lungs makes it such that it needs to get expelled some way.

Here are definitely healthcare deserts out there, but living far enough away that it is 2.5 hours away is a choice as well.
Logically, why would someone expect a fully stocked childbirth unit for an extremely low population? Financially, it simply doesn’t make sense……regardless of how you spin it. If you are making the choice to live that rurally, then it might make sense to have a Plan B should you become pregnant.
While we do not live in such a desert, healthcare where I live generally is less than good. My experience with this demonstrated it 13 years ago, and events recently with friends have just verified what I was fairly sure of. We know probably in the next 10 years, we are going to have to move to where there is more viable healthcare. If TD and I were less healthy, then that might be sooner. As idyllic a place where we live currently, access to good healthcare is ultimately going to have to trump this.

Seeing if I can use some yarn I have at home for my class. while I don't understand how folks can open up their closet full closet and have nothing to wear, I can see how it could happen. I opened up my sock yarn container, and I didn't have much to work with. To which DD1 replied 'That's all sock yarn?" Yes dear, and I will pet it and call it george. I am satisfied with what I found, though. I hope the yarn store will cake one of the yarns. I did buy it from there, like 8 years ago. DD1 asked if we could go shopping beforehand, and I'm trying to make it work while prepping for brunch for tomorrow. LOL! I just rolled a ball of yarn from a hank this morning. 374 yards, according to the label. It turns out that the striping was not as bad as I thought it looked in daylight, so am proceeding on with this project. The hank of yarn I have is a good bridge between the blueish purple and the purplish blue. As we were winding, TD asked if I just can’t knit from the hank. I think we got about 1/3 the way through and he understood what kind of mess can happen. He thought him pulling yarn from the hank and me winding would work, so he put the hank around a bag. I didn’t think it would work, but he’s an engineer so he knows these things. While I was untangling the umpteenth mess, he said ‘I guess that wasn’t such a great idea’. To be fair, I knew this yarn had the potential to be a bitch as I was there when the yarn shop was caking my other hanks of it. This Hank I bought on Amazon, hoping to get more of what I needed. There is always an excuse why I can’t use the yarn I have. Not enough, wrong color, wrong yarn……I am also starting to acquire a bunch of partially used yarn where there is not enough for anything.

Congrats! And you left with the perfect F you!
I don’t know how more perfect than setting your computer back to factory settings could be. The only shame is you won’t be able to be there to see them realize it. I hope your coworker friend takes video. You might want to give her the head’s up, so she’s prepared to video that.

My first job, the lab of 12 people was down to 1 in about 6 months. I was the second to exit, and once the rest realized that the PI had fudged my predecessor’s data that I inadvertently mentioned, the gig was up. No one wanted to be tainted by that brush. No data fudging as far as I know, just a supervisor who never ever stops pushing, needs a lot of personal validation, holds grudges, doesn’t address interpersonal issues, ignores fairly important managerial stuff he doesn’t feel like dealing with, plays favorites, and micromanages to death. Not quite bad enough to justify firing him but not fun to work for either. We all thought it was quite weird for him to request to meet up with a former employee who left a year ago. She was relatively junior, a BS (now MS) where nearly everyone else had PhDs; definitely a solid and reliable employee…but she was also bored and mildly out of place (her specialty was sort of fringe compared to the main group focus) and is significantly happier at her new job. I’m pretty lucky in that my last PI was incredibly hands off. In fact, when his wife had a horrible accident where he didn’t show up at work for a long time, no one noticed for several weeks. For me, it only came to a head when I reached a road block and wanted to try something different, with a hefty price tag. I left a message, telling him that if he didn’t tell me not to order it, I was going to do it. He didn’t, I did. It got me around the road block. His wife had been driving from San Antonio to the coast with a friend for the weekend. Her tire blew, she went off the road. Friend died, his wife was in a coma for a long time but it was 2 days before they found the car. His wife had a horrible recovery, and he still had 2 HS kids at home. We managed ourselves for 4 months, and made some pretty decent progress. This was the same boss that we went to him and told him we wanted a mental health day. We wanted to go to the Canyon Lake to go waterskiing and asked him if he wanted to play hookey with us. His response ‘I want to, but can’t. I have this damned meeting with some muckity mucks, so can’t. But have fun, see you tomorrow’.

Had an awesome lunch with a couple peeps from my last group. One left a few months after I did, and the other just gave her notice last week-she has an excellent new job lined up. Sounds like it’s just in time too; the budget cuts have hit super hard and it sounds like most of my remaining former coworkers have been warned to start looking for new jobs Unclear whether the group will continue to exist. Always fun to marvel at the sheer toxicity of that place…. The one who left over a year ago just got an email yesterday from our former supervisor asking if she‘d like to meet up for lunch and discuss the future of the group. We’re betting he’s going to try to hire her back and she is under strict orders to meet up for lunch or at least on Teams to spill the tea afterwards. My first job, the lab of 12 people was down to 1 in about 6 months. I was the second to exit, and once the rest realized that the PI had fudged my predecessor’s data that I inadvertently mentioned, the gig was up. No one wanted to be tainted by that brush.

Was he the highest paid person at his workplace? Highly compensated individual rules may come into play. The rules did for my DH at his workplace of 18 people. He was very careful with the way his compensation package was arranged because of the IRS rules about earning several times more than the other employees in your workplace. He worked for a subdivision of state government, so he was able to defer compensation until his retirement to help lower his income during working years. Yes, that is at play here. Hmmm...I'll have to ask about that. Highly compensated employees depends on the number of employees and is a formula that has a few moving parts but d said that it changed yearly for him. Some years he got a refund back, some years not.

I tried this rationalization during the first Trump presidency. This only worked so much. My biggest fear is that he will do something like try to nuke UK because King Charles didn’t invite him and his cohorts for a second state visit. Something like that would be my greatest hope. Think there would be enough votes to impeach and convict in that type case. You don’t think that the rest of the world would unleash their considerable power on the US in response? I seriously doubt the ass lickers in congress would impeach. Trump is entirely too trigger happy with the nuke codes.

Dictators can get a lot done - but it usually comes at a pretty high price. Be careful for what you wish for. True, ruthless dictators with efficient minions can get a lot done, but we’re talking about Trump. This time, he won’t even pretend to surround himself with the smartest people. This time, he’ll surround himself with the greatest sycophants, and they will be virtually clueless. Imagine MTG as Secretary of Defense, for instance. Hopefully the competent people who work for her will be able to mislead her and keep her occupied in harmless bullshit while Marge finds reasons to place herself in front of microphones. Trump will occupy himself trying to fuck with anyone he thinks screwed him over. That and grifting. We will all have to cross our fingers and hope we don’t have some tremendous catastrophe (like another pandemic) or a war until Trump is out and someone, pretty much anyone else has replaced him.

I saw that. If he was hospitalized for Influenza B, it’s not surprising he picked up MRSA. Viruses depress immune responses, secondary bacterial infection sets in and that’s even worse than the flu, especially if it’s MRSA.
I know that when I was in the first hospital for my hip infection, I picked up MRSA there and became a carrier. I had been tested earlier in the year and was clear. My 11 days there were enough to pick it up. Luckily, I wasn’t there with a virally depressed immune system.
Interesting factoid. During WWI when troops were being mobilized across the US, measles ran rampant. However, many (most?) died from a secondary infection of bacterial pneumonia. The measles virus just depressed their immunity enough that the bacteria could get a good foothold. I think it killed more than the war.
I read this The Coming Plague by Laurie Garrett while I was hospitalized for my first orthopedic surgery. Really interesting book, but not the best choice when you are hospitalized with a 12” incision running down your thigh!

Good morning, invisible administrators of laundry, meal planning and other household chores. Welcome to Friday. You made it through the week without an emotional support alligator. Just Y Ma'am to vent to. Good for you. Now you owe it to yourself to celebrate with an adult beverage or a childlike sundae because why wait? I hope you avoid all the pancake pissers as you go about your day. My DH is pretty good about laundry but he does leave a bit of a mess around his chair in the living room and his side of the bed. Books, mail trash, snack wrappers, dirty dishes, etc. He doesn't want me to clean it up because it embarrasses him. So sometimes I do anyway but most of the time I ignore it. Generally he is clean. He cleans up the dishes and kitchen most of the time, maybe not as I would do it, but it's fine and I can and will happily flex my standards. After I've dirtied just about every pot and pan and bowl as when I'm preparing for a large family gathering he tackles it all even with his mobility issues. I know I'm lucky. My first husband was a perfectionist who preferred to berate me than to just set about doing chores himself. I'm happy about your hot tub, Knee Deep in Water Chloe . I remember ours with longing. They don't IME take much electricity or cost. Welcome back, Pink Cashmere . Yesterday I completed the kitchen replacing the drawer pulls and scrubbing down the cabinets. I also sorted out the bins we bring to craft shows. Today I'll sort out the framed photos and pack up the car ready to leave tomorrow shortly after 6. This is yesterday's sunset over the harbor from the hurricane barrier causeway: Have you ever fallen into the drawer/door pull rabbit hole? I have. During Covid, we threw a bunch of work at our carpenter we have used. We wanted the doors and drawer fronts replaced on our kitchen cabinets. He and his buddy did a fabulous job, but I needed to find new pulls. The local Lowe’s and Home Depot was a bust. I needed 38 and no where had any more than 12. I really wanted to fondle what I bought, but looked like that wasn’t going to happen. So online it is! Did you know you can get pulls that are $150 each Holy crap! 38 x $150 would cost me more than the hand milled, solid maple cabinet doors that we just had made! They were butt ugly too. I chose a nice, simple $7 solid bronze pull, and while I didn’t get to fondle the non refundable pulls, they were what I was looking for. I wonder who buys those pulls?

I soooooo want daiiily updates on this experiment! My DH pissed me off shortly after our retirement. It was over something stupid, how I parked the car. I walked in the house and decided if he had time to berate me, after I had just driven him two hours home, that he needed more to do in retirement than to tell me what to do. I didn't say anything. Actually I was so mad, I didn't say anything to him for three days. He figured out I had stopped doing his laundry by the 5th or 6th day and did not ask me why. He knows why. He thought it was more important to be right that to be kind to the person who has done his laundry for 35 years. Good news is that today he is entirely self sufficient doing his own laundry. I did have to throw the oxyclean scoop away and replace it with a tablespoon, cuz man, does that guy like to use laundry products. Extra bonus is that I never get accused of ruining his items in the laundry anymore. Double extra bonus points, he was not emptying the change out of his pockets and had to repair the washing machine by himself, while I watched. I took nine dimes out from under the wash plate in our machine. The coins had stripped the wash plate from the drive train. Laundry only looks easy asshole. Doing it right takes more focus than you give. What is it about laundry that causes battles? TD and I rarely spat, but if we do it’s over laundry. We started out with one hamper and when it was full, I washed. No big deal, I was home, he was working. I washed a pen he left in the pocket of his shirt, and missed it. Did I mention when I had no hips, he left a pen in a pocket and every single shirt I had in WA had an ink stain on it? I said nothing. My mistake of washing that pen caused WWIII! Separate laundry hampers were made. I do my wash, he his. He can’t find his wallet. We search all over the house. He had thrown a load in before went to bed, it was still in the washer. I asked him if here was any chance he left his wallet in his pants and washed it. Absolutely not. Ok. Look some more, nada. I finally start to pull wet clothes out of the washer and there is his wallet. I didn’t say anything…just looked at him. We aren’t going to talk about the 3 $70 rechargeable camera batteries he washed on this trip that are now dead.

I'm curious what the increase in electricity is after that gets up to temps and just hangs out there. can you report back after your first bill? that's a cute little hot tub, I could definitely get behind something like that here. not sure exactly where I'd put it, but maybe. haha TD said it was about a 20-30% bump in electric to run the hot tub in WA. That hot tub went to hot tub heaven not long after I moved in.

Well, crapola. I put another inch on the sweater of the different color, intending on switching back. I like my work, hate the way the colors don’t mesh. I may be punting on this altogether. Trying to stripe the obviously different skeins isn’t working. The yarn is gorgeous, I just don’t have enough of any one shade to do what I bought it for.
I’ll wait until tomorrow to frog it, to see if seeing it in daylight is better. I’m not optimistic.

The guy's a hero.
If he hadn't done what he did, our responses would have been much slower and much more xenophobic. Can you imagine the fury if we had absolutely no idea what this virus sequence was and we were utterly reliant on the Chinese and their ridiculous case definition (symptomatic cases only, and it must include all these symptoms) to get a clue what was coming at us? Even with the sequence, our own sentinel surveillance systems failed miserably but an awful lot of that was our fault. Without that sequence, the demonization of China would have been so much worse and having someone else to blame (more) would not have helped our response.
I never even thought about the public perception about China, and how different it would be. Good catch!

This guy went behind the Chinese government’s back to get the Covid sequence published. This probably put us partially ahead of the curve. Unfortunately, he is now being punished for circumventing government channels. This should make him Person of the Year for the risks he took for the world. You know damn well the Chinese government would have sat on this for as long as they could, and just the 6 or so months that it would take to get this published (if ever) would make a tremendous difference. I estimate it would probably take as long for the rest of the world to remake the wheel had he not done this. That makes a tremendous difference. www.yahoo.com/news/chinese-scientist-published-first-sequence-071229718.html

So last night, after staring at the hanks of new yarn I’d need to ball up (I learned my lesson NOT to try to knit directly from a hank or you wind up with a tangled mess that takes forever to untangle) or figure out how to work with the yarn I have, alternating balls of yarn seemed to be the better answer. So started on another project last night. We have 4 more sea days, including 2 May 2. I should be able to get a good chunk done on this, depending on how much time I jack around online. One of my groups blew up last night and it took awhile to get it back on track. The other 2 mods were sleeping. I could have ignored it, but one was going nuts with conspiracy theories. To untangle the comments would have been impossible so I nuked it all. Discussed with the other mods this morning about putting this twit on post approval. Hate doing that, as it’s more work for us. I am appreciating the job TD used to do on the old YM more and more. We are now exactly halfway between the Russian peninsula that juts out into the Pacific, and Alaska mainland. Damn, those Aleutian Islands run a long way! okay, so I saw your post earlier, and now this. what's a "hank" and why is it more difficult to deal with than a typical skein? I remember my sister's MIL re-rolling yarn back in the day, but I've never had a major issue just pulling from the center of a skein while crocheting. 🤷♀️ Yarn comes in skeins and hanks. Hanks are yarn that is wrapped around something and tied together around the circle of yarn. When you try to work from them, the yarn becomes a tangled mess and you spend more time untangling than knitting. Skeins are set up better to work from directly. My first project I brought with me was in skeins. My second project was hanks that had been caked (the yarn shop has a machine that balls the yarn up for you). The new yarn I bought in Tokyo, I could ball up myself (getting TD to hold his hands so I could wind it up). My sister did get me a winder and swift for Christmas, so I can do the hanks when I get home. It just means a some work before you start to avoid a huge amount of grief later. The second advantage of balling up a hank is that every inch of the yarn passes through your hands, so you can see if there are imperfections and deal with them before you run into them while knitting.

So with all the discussion about patios, porches, decks and balconies, we have one deck at ground level. You walk out the door and you’d spep on grass if the deck wasn’t there. It’s not cement or stone, but decking material. Deck, porch or patio?
2 decks are 3 steps to the ground. One is fully covered, the other not. Both are decking material. Porch or deck?
The last deck is off the kitchen, about 20’ straight down. No steps to the ground, only accessed through the kitchen and master bedroom door. Decking material, partially covered. Deck or balcony?

your ship still has curtains in the cabin bathrooms? wow. I wonder if Carnival still does on the class I used to sail. NCL's got a sliding door in even the basic interior cabins. No, it has a glass door on the shower. Normally the lip on the shower pan is high enough to stop the water from leaking out at the bottom, but we have had movement such that all the water shifts to the edge and over it, so it leaks out the bottom. It wasn’t too bad this morning.

The absolutes. All or nothing. Good or bad. 🙄 not really. here is my point. the pro-gun community makes it seem like ARMS can't be regulated. but they can! they ARE, in fact. guns have to be tested to ensure they are not a liability to owners. you can't own, as an example, a bazooka, or a ballistic cannon, or nuclear arms. however, those are ALL arms, as i read the second amendment. so, these folks that make the case that the "government can't restrict arms" are forgetting about the fact that they can only own about 1% of all ARMS, already. so what does that statement even mean? we can't regulate the guns that are not already regulated? what about NEW guns that have been developed in the last 225 years? who gets to decide that? i just don't think the argument really works, but nobody bothers to debate it. they just IGNORE the fact that arms are already highly regulated. regulating them MORE is trivial, not "unconstitutional". They are highly regulated, and there are laws on the books. So what sense does it make to pass more legislation, when the legislation that is already in place is not followed? This is the problem I have. Let’s see what happens when the laws already on the books are followed. This guy’s gun should have been confiscated with the protective order. Why wasn’t it? Where is the breakdown in the system?

Tell me again how gun reform is not the issue. linkIt is early in the investigation and no mention yet if he owned the gun before the OOP or if it was obtained illegally. I understand that states have different rules for OOPs, but IMO everyone should agree that if an OOP is issued all firearms should be confiscated. Dude was CLEARLY not a "nice guy with a gun". That poor 9YO, to have to have witnessed that. I pray that the 1YO does not retain any memory from the ordeal, but it is still in the record books so they will undoubtedly have to deal with it in the future. It is federal law that guns need to be confiscated and you cannot purchase another one while an order of protection is pending. So the law wasn’t followed. His gun should have been confiscated, but as he was an ex police officer, the powers that be let that little pesky law skate by.

Japan on our left, Russia on our right. We are on the second of 7-8 sea days (courtesy of the international date line). Seas are fairly calm, TD’s critter watch has yielded nil. He was up at the buttcrack of dawn to go on the wildlife hunt. He did throw a load of clothes in too. It was a whopping 39° out on his critter watch. Internet has been sketchy, so have spent more time knitting. I will run out of yarn for this sweater today until I get home. My choices are play with my new yarn (which means I need to wind it up as it’s all in hanks) or figure out what to do with the project I bailed on a week ago. At least that yarn is in cakes. I dunno what I’ll do, but I have choices.
