LibriVox is a great app if you’re by yourself and don’t have access to certain books. I’m listening to Institutes of the Christian Religion by John Calvin as I drive.

Calvinism is a mistake.  And what it bore is even worse.

You mean capitalism?

Years ago I attended a church that was Calvinist teaching. I have the Institutes in my library. I then attended nondenominational full gospel (a term I never understood) churches for many years. I'm now back in the Catholic Church. Long story of how that came about. Calvin , in my opinion, went off the tracks particularly in his view of predestination. I can find a preponderance of Scripture to argue against it. Just my opinion of course.

Hmmm. Methinks I should have posted this in the Religion thread.

I’m going to watch the 3 game final series of the ‘87 Canada Cup, Canada vs USSR. All three games were 6-5 with two of them being decided in OT. Gretzky and Lemieux on the same line, magic.

My son can’t believe all the hooking and holding in these vintage games. I love his reactions, especially to the interference.

Telecommuting is more work than going in.  But staying home is helping me get in shape. I have lost 30 pounds and numerous inches with P90 and a good diet.  I still can’t take on Horton, but definitely most of the others.

Seeing as I have vast expertise in Vietnamese culture, I've been roped into doing my wife's nails. Happy mother's day!

Kids' ant farm has been really interesting.  It appears the ants have buried their dead in a mound of media they piled up.  I'd be terrified of what they'd be capable of if they were half the size of us...

That was great.  I hope we get Gaethje vs Khabib soon.

I just spent this afternoon putting this together.

It's legal in Virginia now?

So, I've been extremely busy with a home make over. The front yard had 5 pine trees, 2 by driveway, 3 on opposite side of front yard, all 35'-40' tall. They are gone, stumps and all. Took the trees down myself, paid S&S tree service $700 to grind the stumps and get rid of the brush that was left over.

Figure I needed a small yard horse, since I have a large lot on a pretty big retention pond in Wheatfield. So I went out and bought an old Bobcat M-371 mini skidsteer.

Here she is:

Nice

Sweet.  I'd love one.  Can probably move some snow with that mofo too, no?

Not sure if your reply was tongue in cheek or not. Either way, we put together an herb garden. We could put in either 3 more herbs or small plants.

The goal is to eventually grown our own fruits and vegetables within our climate.

It was.

I've had a couple of herb gardens in my life, and they are wonderful.  Good luck with yours!

random answer to your question @Eleven: Effective 7/1/2020 simple possession of marijuana is now subject to a civil penalty of no more than $50.  More importantly, and I do not understand why this hasn't gotten more attention (other than, you know, the world being on fire), all marijuana derivatives (hash oil and whatnot) have been scrubbed from Schedule I under the drug control act.

No, in Virginia.  Kinda left that out, my bad.

Tomatoes, zucchini, jalapeños and pimentos all potted. Cucumbers, and Big Bertha Bell peppers are going in the ground tomorrow. Might snag some beans too. And a couple eggplant.

Found this sitcom called Cheers on Netflix. It’s funny.  Only 10 more seasons to go!
