I want to anonymously join Instagram. Last time my brother had contacts downloaded and it matched us instantly. There’s a community there for language learning and Francophiles that I would like to be a part of. Fake email? No phone authentication? I may try. It might work. 🤔

They had one job! I can’t believe they botched Krista Pike’s execution and now she’s intubated and in a coma. Who wants to bet her family sues the state of TN and gets rich for her heinous crime. For the record, I think the death penalty is uncivilized but that’s for another post.

I am plagued by Youtube ads for sweatpants overalls, literally, overalls made of sweatpant/s material. Why? Did overalls come back? Are they a thing now? And they're not sleepwear. This is go outside in public clothes. ⬇️

They are just one shit stain after another. These protections were enacted under President Biden so of course, they are being rescinded. I hope this burns every parent of a an LGBTQ child to VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!

My book on building classical guitars arrived! The jacket has seen better days but the rest looks pretty good after a quick glance before leaving for work. It’s going to cost a small fortune in tools. I wonder how you say drum sander in French? 🤔

One wasp nest defeated. It was a sad win as it was only two wasps about a week in, the nest couldn't have been even 25-30 mm wide. The second will require some planning as it's got it's back is to the door so there's no spray, scream and slam the door in this option.

I have not 1 but 2 wasp nests. One outside my front door under the overhang and another in the gutter. I can't figure out how they are surviving in there when a tsunami of rain comes streaming down. I guess I have to leave the house and go pick up some spray and figure out how to not to get stung! 😱

I slept in until 10, meditated for about 30 minutes and made coffee. I have a weird feeling, not sadness but a lack of joy and there's no apparent reason except that life feels rather stagnant at the moment. Have a lovely day all, enjoy yourselves. Wordle 1,921 2/6 🟩🟩🟩⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

So there’s $21.95 left on the gift card of frivolous spending … so many yet so few choices. I’m torn but want a guitar neck blank to check out the geometry and at only 12 bucks … but there’s thst nagging feeling I may be getting ahead of myself and how am I going to explain all this to customs. 😬😬😱

Joe 🏳️‍🌈 @jve-joe.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
There’s still money left on the “use only for frivolous spending” gift card and I think I’m going to buy this book on guitar making and hopefully learn some techniques to save on ridiculously expensive jigs. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Making an acoustic guitar has many, many, many steps but none of them seem too terribly complicated. Cut wood, shape wood, glue wood but luthiers still use animal glue and bone or ivory for the bridge --which does not sound vegan.😬 And yes, I'm down a rabbit hole but fun. And I bought new glasses!

Woke up at 8am, all the lights on, dishes not washed and freezing cold with no blanket and the AC blasting. Since I was in street clothes, I put on a hat and went to get gas before the masses, came home, made coffee and checking web history -- I guess we're learning to make an acoustic guitar. 🤔

It's taken months to find a new pair of glasses I liked and today when I went to have them made, the optician made a face and I said, I know my blind prescription thickness will be visible from the frameless side, it's ok. And she said, no, I think they'll be proud of the frame front itself. #MF'er

So the draw down 401k calculator I found today says my investment should last 60 years based on my desired monthly draw — 60? As in until 122 years old, 60? I guess I just got a retirement raise. Did I hear someone say, in ground pool? I think I did. Add that to the spreadsheet. 😆😆😆

I friend died. We weren't in touch but for a few years before COVID, we attended gay square dancing together. It was all sorts of ridiculous fun and he was so charming and inviting. Most of the guys were all a bit older than me but I never felt out of place. RIP Jim, Do Si Do in everlasting peace. ✨

Because of the fumigation on the 9th, I'm eating the fridge and pantry down but yesterday, I was supposed to go shopping so I have no snacks. I decided I wanted chips but instantly thought that I can't buy them, fumigation on the 9th --- like one bag of chips would last 8 f'ing days. 🙄

It's 93F and the app says it feels like 103F. I picked a great day to repair and re-stain the planters. I considered just tossing them but when the house goes on the market, I'll plop beautiful containers of flowers in them and I think that'll help the lanai curb appeal. It better, 4 shirts soaked!💦

Sand in French is sable, and sandpaper is papier de verre but verre in French means drinking glass. ... because the paper is rough and "cuts" into the wood like glass? Does every word in this language have to be a riddle? 😭 #French #FrenchLearning 🇫🇷

I organized the last of the woodworking tools into containers and made a manifest for each. Whether we end up in France or Fargo, the tools are ready with the exception of going through and removing batteries. Oops. Did you know that batteries are the same all over the world? #Praise!OneSmallVictory

Even tofu is on the recall list now. I never heard of this particular tofu product but it's made by a company called Hodo, and they're officially on the no buy list for me. If companies risk our lives, make them go out of business -- just never buy ANY of their products again.

So I evaluated the pantry and fridge stock to strategize the "eat down plan" prior to the termite tenting and I discovered I had A LOT of flour so to use some up, I'm forced to bake bread today. It's only 90F today, let's use the oven at 450F!

So my block of condos has to be fumigated for termites, again. The kind where they put a giant tent over the whole place and continuously spray poison gas. Luckily, this weekend was supposed to be my big food shop for September so I won't waste a ton of food. Huge cleanup after but what can you do.🙄
