Apparently it's not a type of wood, it's more like an environmental growing condition. I've read up on it, but I haven't found out specifics. Everyone agrees, it makes for a cool, layered look, kind of like a lasagna.

Sure looks like it would dull my old chisels!

I'll be spending the week at home. Waiting for the scooter to get fixed. Going to rain tomorrow, Wednesday, and Thursday, right when I would be going to church. Walmart had a special on their Walmart + membership. Thirty days for one dollar. Scooter should be fixed by then. The membership also includes a 25% discount every day at Burger King. What a deal.

I think we voted on it, but it's more complicated than that. Places like Indiana and Arizona have figured out how to stop the madness, but it's apparently deeply infected.

We voted to keep Washington in Daylight savings time, I think two years ago. But Congress needs to approve it, and apparently that is not high on there priority list.

Still suffering from NFL withdrawal. I was gifted with something called "flap meat". Most commonly found in restaurants as fajita beef. Very big, long strands of fiber makes it easy to slice against the grain. A lot of flavor, and incredibly tender. So I made tortillas. Flour + Water. Roll it flat. Hot cast iron griddle. Easy. But I never really do it. Hand made tortillas, made with my hands, never look perfectly round. They taste good. But they're not round. Just irregular factory seconds.

Yah. That's ironic, because I think eliminating DST would be an easy win. They seem to be more interested in invading our privacy.

The time didn’t change that I know off , my phone usually changes but the wall clock and my truck are the same
I agree with you on that glue guy , phones , Tv, Alexa, street cams , AI has become more evident in todays world , now there’s glasses that can video record conversations, no expectation of privacy anywhere .

Time doesn't change until the 9th of March. Next weekend, not this past one.
