I learned about the Great Attractor, which is a gravitational anomaly in intergalactic space within the vicinity of the Hydra-Centaurus Supercluster at the center of the Laniakea Supercluster that reveals the existence of a localized concentration of mass tens of thousands of times more massive than the Milky Way. (I copied that from Wikipedia, I'm not really that smart.)
I learned that the Hokey Pokey is what it's all about!

I learned that having a full size spare is always a good idea.

Because it's in the sunlight and gets heated, thus it won't fog up. There's a scientific explanation, but that's the simplified reason it fogs up at night, but not during the day.
Thread for smart people only.
Chicken wire is ok at keeping the chickens IN, but useless at keeping predators OUT.
Yup, I got punctured several times as I worked with hardware cloth...that stuff is tough! I even whacked my left index finger with the hammer and those little horseshoe shaped nails.
I think I did a helluva job...but this is my first time doing battle with our local critters! I imagine a full frontal assault by a pack of crazed raccoons!
All 6 of our chicks made it safely through their first night outdoors!

Today I didn't learn squat. But there is always tomorrow, and I'm always paying attention, drat blast it.
I learnt that drinking beer with a history can be an intoxicating history lesson.
Prost!During the medieval and early modern periods beer was as much a daily necessity as [it was] a source of inebriation and amusement. It was the beverage of choice [for] urban populations [who] lacked access to secure sources of potable water; a commodity of economic as well as social importance; a safe drink for daily consumption that was less expensive than wine; and a major source of tax revenue for the state.

Today I learned that soup beans with a ham shank, chopped onions and jalapeno peppers is about as good as a breakfast can get.
I learned that even with the assistance of modern electronic computation devices some cashiers still can not do basic math.
I stopped to pick up a couple of sub sandwiches and chips on my way home which came to a grand total of $19.55. I gave the cashier a $5 and 15 one dollar bills. They audibly counted twenty dollars.
Cashier: "Do you have a nickle?"
Me: "No."
C: "It's $19.05." (no, it's $19.55)
M: "I gave you $20."
C: "You don't have a nickle?"
- voice from prep area, "Give him his dollar and take it from the change cup."
C: "He's a dollar short."
M: "No, I gave you $20. You owe me $0.45.
C: "Oh, yeah, I was just trying to make it easy.
M: "It's all good just throw it in the till (change cup). Have a good day."
Holy schnikes.
