Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

Cheap Republicans

 Okay, so I assembled my new computer desk yesterday... in only 4 hours.  I had anticipated 2 maybe, however that was before I realized you needed to use a tiny allen wrench to tighten every screw.  

The tiny wrench and one of the 2 inch screws

No fast screwing here.  The keyboard tray was not installed because, following the instructions, when it's in place there's no way to tighten the locks holding the desktop in place.  Of course, I now realize I don't need the tray, the shelf works simply fine.  This is what you get when you choose to purchase a piece of  'inexpensive' furniture.  The simple truth is not to believe you're going to get quality when you go cheap.  Those who think 'cheap' is good lie to themselves.  Time will only continue to make the inexpensive less valuable.

I was planning on a ride or run yesterday, sadly neither happened because it took so long to put together my new desk.  I did make some meatballs for a soup I'm making in the new Instant Pot.  Three minutes cooking time.  Now, that's nice.  

Evidently there was some sort of on camera brush-up between McCarthy and Cheney in regard to our failed president speaking at CPAC and his future involvement with the party of failures.  I didn't watch any of the clips, but plenty of people were talking about it.  There is so much seething anger within that party.  Seriously.  You see, like their one time president, they have continuously told themselves they were winners.  This is why so many of them believe the Big Lie.  In their minds, if the Big Lie was truth, then they are not only losers, they are extreme failures.  This is why many of them will take their belief in the Big Lie to their deathbeds.  To believe otherwise is crushing.  Like inexpensive furniture, you get what you pay for and not much else.

    1. They are speaking for the far Right. Moderate Republicans I work with see no problem with it.

  2. One of the things I did NOT let Billie take (she is an electrician) is a socket set with 50 different drivers including allen heads :)

    1. I have way too many tools because of my cycling, so I used and extender where I could. However, the screw heads were soft.

    1. So true, and they will continue farther and farther right while the country moves back to the center.

  4. Oh, I love to see GQP infighting. They have Cheeto around their necks like an albatross and I love it. Liz is so Alpha Male...
    And Dave, you should know better: no fast screwing. Duh.
    And you'll have to tell more about the Instant Pot. People SWEAR is the second coming.

    XOXO

    1. In the end, I suspect they'll either vote for hatred or they just won't vote at all.
