I didn't harvest it, so I am not sure, but there isn't much 'urban' around here, so I doubt it. It was delicious, though.

Sometimes I drive like a dick. And like it.

My wife's asleep... I née to go to sleep but I kind of like the quiet.

Also I responded to a CL ad for a car with extreme mold. I've been wanting to strip a car down for my next insane project. I'm excited.

Did I mention that my one mechanical friend, my brother and I all have extreme allergies? Wife will probably have to gut the car for me.... She's a very reluctant and angry swearing type mechanic. How many loads of laundry will that cost me?

I get up early on the weekends, often at 5:30. It's nice to enjoy two hours of quiet time in my own house.

I went to work early today to catch up and later in the morning I saw a few pack of bicyclists driving through the woods in the Argonne, Illinois area - then I proceeded to call them "losers". From the guy going to work on a Saturday to put in extra time.........

How old are you now? I'm guessing somewhere in the neighborhood of "The rest of your life".

I miss incandescent light bulbs.

I hoarded a bunch of the good light bulbs a couple years back. I still buy a pack or two of the remaining available wattages occasionally

I'm almost out of R12. I also hoard lead in the hundreds of lbs kinda way.

I collect spanner wrenches.... The most invaluable tool in the world but the hundreds I have are probably worth enough in scrap to buy a real tool set.

There are very few sounds I find more irritating than that of a saxophone.

I cut a new personal best on a backroad drive home last night. With the wife and kid in the back seat. In the rain. In the dark. I was driving angry. I should not have been.

I always finish my little drywall and filler jobs around the house with bondo....

Stick with what you know.

When I moved out of my apartment I found the tartar control crest was a perfect match for the walls. I filled all the nail holes in about 10 minutes.

I just ordered a rail for my mosin so I can try to mount an eye relief scope on it. I know I should have ordered a better one, but I can't see spending big money tarting up a mosin when I should just buy a better gun. I feel like I just threw good money after bad.....especially when the cheap ammo is getting less cheap.

In reply to JoeyM:

I just practiced a lot with the stock sights. With the better surplus on a good day, I can put them all on a piece of printer paper at 100 yards, the trick is the sight post is about 10 MOA wide. Once I actually got a 1.5" group dead center. You've gotta line up the sights on the gun and then center the post on the target.

I clean it at the range with generic windex followed by W40 when I think I've got all the corrosive salts out of the bore while all the (now completely deaf) guys with ARs and nice rifles stare.

I have two sets of perfect autocross wheels and tires for my Miata. I daily drive on a set of CL mismatched all season radials on Mini wheels.One pair is on the wear bars, one of those has a nail in it.

I called some "friends" the most vulgar words that have ever passed my lips earlier today. They berkeleying deserved it, and I don't feel bad.

I read the Wall Street Journal daily.

I never read the "Money & Investing" section as I find it boring.

My 323 has had a cacked rear strut for over a month now, and I just pretend I don't notice since I haven't been home long enough to get it fixed.

I'm not alone!

Some Jazz of some sort came on in a store I was in the other day, sax solo, I gritted my teeth. I thought, WHY do people enjoy this???

BTDT. Works on 'popcorn' ceilings as well.

I'm a pimp in my other life.

My dog is out seeing his girlfriend right now.

I totally got drunk on free champagne before I went on stage last night. It made dying as a zombie that much easier.

My kid was napping next to me, and I had to fart. I instinctively lifted a cheek to not bury it in my trousers, and accidentally farted on his head.

I intentionally fart on my kid's head.
