That is why, when my wife and I were looking for a house, I told her: "You can get any house you want as long as it's a ranch style."

Did you ever get the mattress to the "soft wedge" point, where it's stuck and the only option is to just go all caveman on it and push/pull it through?
I go straight to my "pissed off Clint Eastwood from Gran Torino" stage when moving. His character in that movie is the angry old MI Pollock that I hope to become one day.
They were pretty picked over by the time I got to 'em, but oh well. Donuts always go down smooooooth.
Fixed it for you.
LOL. My favorite scene is where the girls getting hassled by the 2 black dudes, and clint doesn't even waste any time whipping out Ye Olde Colt Model 1911.
It's the same kind of scene as in "King of New york" with C. Walken where he's one the subway, and 3 young tuffs get on and grab his girls purse, and Walken just moves his coat aside showing the heat, and looks at them. LOL
It is the "I'm old and ready to die. I'll take every single one of you fuucks with me if you give me half a chance or two tenths of a reason to..." look.
I was pretty meh on it at first, but I love it now. Just took awhile to grow on me I guess. I remember when Blood Like Cream was prereleased I was pretty unimpressed, but now it's one of my favorite songs by them.
Sam, listened through the album a couple of times on my poopy work speakers but blasted the album on my 20 minute commute this morning. The mix sounds fantastic. I can't wait to blast it in the wife's car since she's got the premium Bose package.
Man another person in my department quit today. I think the new supervisor should rethink his supervisory style.
I have not seen my boss in over a week. Now THAT is supervision.
Oh yeah, my boss left over a month ago and they haven't replaced him, so I technically don't have one hahaha.
Morning dudes.
Have any of you ever broken the end off and instrument plug? I was messing with rewiring my pedal board earlier and I use the planet waves solderless cablesattion kit thing. So I'm unplugging some stuff and rearranging things when I notice the tip just above the ring off one of the plugs is missing. So I'm looking all around trying to find where it fell. Can't find it. Whatever I scrap that cable and continue on with what I was doing. Then I get to a pedal that won't let me plug in all the way. Look inside...oh there's the tip jammed inside the input of a pedal. What a butthole that was to get out of there. Took me like half an hour. I didn't even know the plug ends could come apart like that. Always thought it was one solid piece.
TL;DR
pedal wanted just the tip...and kept it haha.

I was at an acoustic jam, and my buddy wanted to play my bass and I didn't have a right angle jack with me and he was playing for a while and he snapped the end. It was those twist on ones that always come loose. I guess he kept working it loose then he snapped it. No biggy just kind of weird to witness.
I work in county government so people usually stay here for the pension and are lifers, but times they are a changing. Though the dude found a better paying job that still has the state pension so he upgraded but we all still know why he left.
Listening to the new Monobrow right now, sounds really good Sam.
Yeah I was like ***. I thought I had ruined the pedal at first cause it really wasn't coming out. Was weird too cause it wasn't the entire plug that came off. The ring and the long bit were still there it's just the shaped tip that stayed in the pedal. Was really strange.
