Discipline is a very underrated quality that I very much look for when interviewing.

These 2 are not the same, but I could agree that someone who dislikes both is a red flag.

I mean, the only thing more fun than buying another gun safe is filling it up.

Sweating things out regularly is good. I think some people don't sweat much doing their normal routines. I am not one of those people.

The chicken biscuit on the commercial looks decent. But I already know a local place called Maple Street Biscuit Company is awesome, Loveless Cafe is pretty good for that too, and for fast food I know Bojangles gets it done so I probably won't ever risk it.

Without Brett Favre, LSU doesn't hire disaster Curly Hallman and sink to rock bottom.

I didn't have time to do a multi step process on my MIL's, I just got the blue bottle stuff and rubbed on, buffed off. It got them really clear.

Guys doing demo tossed a faucet and handle they shouldn't have, needed a new one. Didn't know what brand... Snapped a pic of the valve, asked Gemini. It confidently said it's a Delta and even cited a model. Found a potential handle at home Depot, asked if it would fit. Yes! No doubt it would fit.

shite didn't fit. And it's a Moen. I told that idiot it better not confidently give me answers if it's not sure. Yes, you're right! I see where I went wrong. I'll let you know in the future when I'm not sure.

Productivity y'all.

Update, I’m down to 197 pounds and already seeing some of the muscle definition back in my arms and chest. I’ve been trying to eat less than 2000 calories a day. Working from home has helped, I go to the gym at lunch and have a protein shake, banana, and granola bar for lunch.

Nice work! Keep to the routine. As they say, discipline beats motivation every time.

South of Nashville. Monday and Tuesday were a great but brief break from rain and hot. Biking this morning at 64 was kinda brisk at first, but it ended up being a 2 shower day in the end.
