What are you doing today?

Not today, but this week I spent more on a couch than I ever have on a car.

Looks like my yoyo went out Monday.

Work today. Thankful for even making it. My truck had a NASTY (but common) coolant leak from a tube under the intake manifold. Pulled the intake, replaced the part, fixed a few random “since I’m here” things, put it back together. Finished just in time for bed. Not a TOTAL success, as I have some water in my oil, and found NEW problems to deal with. All in all, I’m quite pleased. Glad to know I can still turn a wrench when I gotta.

Worked with my unresponsive yoyo at work tonight. First “real” knot in a string. Bah! Landing trapeze (trapezes?) with greater regularity! Tried a few Eli hops. No success, but I feel that I might have more luck with a different yoyo. I’ll try that tonight after the kids go night night.

Work has been pretty busy, been on 60’s for the past month or two. Finally get a saturday off this weekend. Pretty stoked, going to be able to get in to Pokemon Sword.
Also, bought a kendama from the hardware store the other day. Been dabbling with that since I got off work today. They are quite fun and challenging. I havnt looked into tricks yet, but I have gotten the hang of spiking it.

My router crapped out on me while I was working this afternoon so I has to run out and buy a new one. Lucked out that Best Buy had the one I wanted (the Staples near me didn’t). Now I get to work for two more hours to make up the time I lost :skull:

On the plus side it looks like something out of Batman or the new Star Wars trilogy

80 lb resistance band snapped this morning while exercising and metal handle parts hit me in the head! Nearly blacked out. Lots of blood. In ER awaiting staples and CT results for possible cracked skull!! :face_with_head_bandage:

I hope it’s not fractured and just a flesh wound. (Not exactly “just” a flesh wound but you get what I mean)

I hope you get better soon that looks like it hurt like a mother …

This is just horrible, hope it heals quickly. It gave you a concussion?
Seems so. at least you have lots of hair to hide any potential scarring.

Oh no Gnome Gnomes! :frowning:

Look at the bright side though!..at least you had a good excuse to quit exercising early!!

I hope things aren’t too serious man.

The “liking” of bad news in a post doesn’t feel right lol. I know the member’s heart are in the right place though and wishing a quick recovery.

lol I so get what you’re saying.
In this case though I kinda look at it as less of ‘liking’ his post…and more of leaving him a heart on his post. :slight_smile:

I know these forums aren’t the place for this…

But I’ve been struggling all week with my mom’s passing. I keep waking during the night calling out for her, then realizing she’s gone. Or I woke up last night and thought I was in my old house we lived in…and she was asleep in her bedroom just down the hall from me. Then very suddenly I realized I was in my apartment and I’ll never see her again.

My sleep has been a wreck and I’m having a hard time. /sigh I think it’s the holidays doing me in atm. Man I miss her.

…I don’t know. I just needed a vent.
