Going to an estate sale

Recovering from COVID!

Second time getting it, and it’s been so much worse than the first. Hopefully my partner and/or I test negative soon… we really need stuff from the store and haven’t left the house in more than a week!

Aside from the usual weekend errands restring my guitar and some reading just got a few trade paperback comics from instocktrades the Rick Remender Venom run, thrawn trilogy star wars dark horse reprints, and volume 4 of undiscovered country.

Family coming over for lunch and I'm doing a (variation on) porcetta. I've got a lovely piece of pork belly which has been airdrying in the fridge since yesterday morning. Should be cracking crackling. If the weather holds I'll do it on the rotisserie on my Kamado Joe.

If you like a barbecue (or a barbie, bbq, or braai) come and join us at Cooking With Fire. We need more regular posters!

Family gathering, shirt buying, washing machine hose replacement and clean, cooking, and maybe fix a bit of jewellery. Gym on Sunday.

Work.
I'm currently sitting in a minibus near an industrial port in the middle east, waiting for the crewboat to arrive. It's taking me on a 10 hour ride for me to board a ship pretty much in the middle of the Persian gulf. I will most likely be on board tomorrow and finish up what I'm doing the same day.
Then it's a short transfer to another ship nearby where the same job awaits.
If timing works out I will head back to shore on Sunday, arriving very early Monday. Then it's a few days of chill before my return flight on Thursday.

Damn, how's the pay for a job with those travel requirements?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Pretty decent. Similar to other offshore roles with specialization.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

Nice. I used to work in the oilfield in West Texas. Pay was good, I had offshore opportunities for even better pay but I decided against it. Oil industry was not great to work in, in my position anyway.

On my way back home from a climate protest. Defo some cooking later, working on translations for a project over the weekend. Probably some gaming, too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

Friend of a friend's basement flooded so friend and I are gonna go help demo and see how far we get on putting it back together. Sunday will be for soccer and gaming and general lethargy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

The dealership where I bought my car is having an unveiling event for a new 2025 model with free food and giveaways. I’m going just for the free lunch and maybe win some stuff. lol

Mothman Festival!

Supposed to go visit some lithium springs this morning as soon as I get my poop in a group.

Setup new laptop

I'm hoping to figure what anime to start off with, and hopefully enjoy that. Bonus points if it rains too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

shougeki no souma? good foood.

the wind rises? beautiful and sad.

megalobox! some fuuun punching.

what are your candidates so far?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

The Wind Rises sounds the most appealing at the moment. It's hard to accurately describe exactly what you want in an anime when you don't really understand the genre or know the lingo. I might try The Wind Rises. Cheers.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 hours ago

It's supposed to rain here all weekend so working outside is probably out. I might finally do some gaming after months of not.

I need to get a new video edited and posted by Sunday afternoon.
