So I was just mowing the lawn, suddenly there was a loud BANG and explosion that knocked me on my butt, flames tall as me shot out of my lawnmower and the lawn was on fire too. Luckily I had a couple wet sheets to throw on the fire to extinguish it. Turns out the fuel valve came loose, probably from grazing a branch or something, fuel slowly accumulated around the engine cover until it reached some hot engine part which ignited all the fuel instantly. Luckily I am unhurt and I managed to extinguish the flames quickly enough to save my mower! It looks a little charred and the plastic covers are warped now but it still runs, and I could finish the lawn. Guess that's another entry on my list of possible stupid deaths.

Well, my day keeps getting better and better. First my lawn mover exploded into flames and now this: Cooked me dinner, rice with turkey strips and some parsnips. When I was eating it the meat tasted low-key funny, it had a vinegar-ish flavor to it, and it smelt like turkey but WAY more intensive then it should, which is quite odd. First I thought I simply undercooked it, but I cooked it for half an hour so..... Halfway through the meal I got suspicious and recovered the wrapping from the turkey meat from the trash - and lo and behold - the meat was expired. 3 FREAKING WEEKS AGO. It was the expired turkey meat I thought I threw away ages ago, but apparently I totally forgot about it and kept it in the freezer. After half an hour of intensive puking session I got rid of it all I think, but only time will tell. I hope I will wake up tomorrow.

From the time I was in Kindergarten.....every. single. day. until 8th grade, I got my ass kicked. Then I began training in a very private, very specialized form of Martial Art called "Woo Gar Mo Sut" or The Foo Family Blend of Martial Arts; the system was called "Philospher & Warrior", created by Si-Jo Gary Foo. It was originally developed by Si-Jo, who was former police officer to train Police Officers in Use Of Force, but then grew into something much bigger. I never attained my Black Belt, I wound up quitting just one year shy...But did ascend to the rank of Red belt in this system and became one of the senior students. While I am nowhere near as flexible or in as good of shape as I was then, and while I have forgotten some of the fancier and more technical moves....there are still many things I do remember and skills that are so ingrained (such as shin-shielding and knowledge of pressure points) that I can't forget them. But training in Martial Arts for me was about far more than simply learning the physical skill of how to fight....It gave me the self-confidence to know that I did not have to. In changing simply how I carried myself as I would walk through the halls, hardly anybody ever bothered me. And when some idiot would try to pick a fight with me for no reason....It ended quickly, and usually without me ever having to throw a punch or kick. But when I did, I made sure they felt it and then learned not to bother me again.

He did excellent work for some friends of ours. I'm thinking his current project is running late and he realized tomorrow is a holiday. I thought his schedule when he discussed it sounded awfully optimistic, so I'm not surprised. Disappointed, but not surprised.

I'm not feeling well and I don't know why. I'm going to try more hydrating, because that's a typical mistake I do, these warm summers. But I don't believe much in that now. My only substantial, distinct symptom is that I have a dull ache in my left shoulder. ...Okay, I'm peeing clear water now, so I think I'm done with the hydrating. And I have a slight temperature, hardly worth mentioning, but still.

Hope you feel better Hieronymous Thankyou. And I am feeling better. And hot, which I think is because the fever is falling. Also, since I'm feeling better, I'm trying some food. Lots of salt on a tomato (Sodium) and some 85% dark chocolate (potassium) and orange juice (potassium again).

Fuel valves were added to mowers to make sure that a stuck needle in the carburettor wouldn't leak fuel. But the fuel valves themselves became a leak hazard. I suggest you buy some fuel line and dump the valve completely. Just make sure you run the tank dry before putting the mower in storage for next year.

Very late notice I think to call it off If you had known sooner you could have left stuff in the kitchen still, now you probably need to drag things back in since it will be in a week before work starts.

That's exactly what is happening. We think his previous job is running late and that's pushed us back. Yesterday was a holiday here and he probably forgot about that as well.

I wish I knew the secrets of sleep. I can have two near identical days and one night (like the night before this one) I'll have a nice 7 hour sleep with no waking and feel good the next morning. And then I have last night where I had a horrible sleep, a good ole nightmare and sleep like crap. like last night.

And then I have last night where I had a horrible sleep, a good ole nightmare and sleep like crap. like last night. I forget what an honest, full eight hours of sleep looks like. Haven't had one of those since August of 2020, due to the ringing in my ears being loud enough to either keep me awake for hours and not allowing me to get to sleep, or I may fall lightly asleep for a few hours-- then sudden *WHAMO* the ringing spikes to an insane level, like someone cranking up the volume knob on a stereo really quickly and it wakes me up out of my sleep very painfully. Then I lay there plugging my ears for the next 3 or four hours praying for it to stop or subside just a little. In that case, I often turn on a podcast at whatever unholy hour it is and just let it play....so that eventually if/when the ringing does dial down, I can begin to have something else to focus on other than the ringing. And I didn't put the pieces together until recently when my Dentist shared his own experience with Tinnitus, but he warned me that the Pfizer vaccines (of which I have one, and two more Moderna)...But Pfizer in particular had been found to create or worsen already existing cases of Tinnitus. I didn't put the pieces together at first...I figured it was all just part and parcel, but after hearing that from my Dentist and thinking back to how my Tinnitus worsened shortly after receiving my first dose of Pfizer vaccine....I now see the correlation. Anyway, my point is...not being able to get a good night's sleep sucks and it takes its toll. I empathize with you, Fish.

Today I went over to see a friend who has been given more lemons than the average person gets in life . Her latest ordeal is recovering from being sick as in having reconstructive surgery that went wrong not once but twice after beating cancer. I have seen her hit bottom a lot of times but today we had some great laughs and I hope I had part in her feeling giddy and positive today.

Today I baked a cranberry cake, and while it tastes absolutely delicious the crust got stuck in the mold. AGAIN. I never manage to bake a proper looking cake, the crust always gets stuck no matter what I do. I coated the mold with butter super carefully but it did not make a difference. If anyone has an idea how to stop the crust getting attached to the mold, please let me know. Also I did a cycling stint on my stationary bike and I did 350 watts for 30 minutes. I don't want to boast but that's far and beyond what most people can do. The bike got really hot where the friction brake sits, I could even smell it. And I don't even train endurance that much, I lift weights a lot more frequently than my cardio sessions.
