People complain about the acting in season 3 of Reacher being bad. (It is) But I'd like to see something a little more realistic. Bland acting is fine. I just want to see Reacher wake up every morning at 4:00 am, and spend 5 hours working out. Finding cooking and eating 5000 cal of chicken breast...

So I am watching random Canadian sci-fi movie. Looking up all the actors I recognize. Now I am wondering, is there a compulsory 18 month term every Canadian has to serve as a sci-fi actor?

Being around groups of "Older people" over the last few months. I've determined that it would be the best for society if we aired PSAs during NCIS (and other shows of the kind) that would help with cell phone etiquette. We could cover such topics as:

Weekend #cncwoodworking project. Found a use for that tiny toolbox that Harbor Freight sells. It's now My #3dprinting tool box. I cut an insert for the common parts with my CNC machine. Just because I thought it looked neat. I'm sure the other two drawers will fill up soon.

They are sinking all their resources into the enterprise hardware because that's where the $$$$ is. I'm surprised they are even still making consumer hardware.

Watched the original Scream last night, and the original Crow the night before. Gotta say, Scream held up a lot better than The Crow. As much as The Crow holds a special place in my heart, the acting... Yikes.

Weekend project. I Made a small router table because I am working on a project where I am milling a bunch of small slats. Also for some reason, I have gone this far in life without having a proper router table. This will do until I do a proper one in my table saw extension.
