Now _That_ was a Long Weekend

My neighbour and I kicked it off Friday night in my front yard laughing our heads off, putting the world to rights and playing YouTube DJ.

The grainy photos convey the evening’s tone.

He gave me a lawnmower, and Saturday morning I cut my lawn for the very first time using “Little Red.” A task that takes way longer than I thought it would.

Satisfying though, because it’s a task that’s polar opposite of what I usually do (type myself into oblivion.)

Sunday my neighbours took me ATVing on a motocross track (told ya I have the best neighbours.)

This Week’s Car was perfect for the occasion, too – a 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek.

Have a dedicated post about ATVing coming soon, until then here’s the short story – loved it, want more.

Of course the weekend included one of these.

To which I was a hit when I showed up with a basket of beer thanks to Bud Light #BudLightApple

Monday I meandered around and didn’t feel like documenting, so didn’t.

Only photo I took.

Hope you had a great long weekend too. Now let’s attack this week.

 

 

Happy 45th Birthday Barbapapas

One of the only cartoons I watched as a kid. It’s from France.

Basic premise – a family of blobs that can shape shift. They sing “Clickety Click—Barba Trick”, and morph into whatever shape is best needed to help the situation.

Those guys on top of my fridge, the ones you sometimes see in the background of my photos, that’s them.

A Quick Way to Defeat a Padlock

The Attack

Forget breaching the lock.

Instead, remove the plate and loop the lock is attached to.

The Defence

Install the plates and loops on the inside of the doors.

Same thinking as to why the hinges on your home’s exterior doors are located inside your house, or should be.
