@dr_a hell yeah, that's all kindsa badass!

@leerayl now I double dog dare ya

@leerayl I dare ya!

@paul_ipv6 right?! imagine all the music created and enjoyed on those things, or the things written with these machines - history is very important

this oughta keep me outta trouble for a bit...

I've never even heard of these manufacturers, but I'm lookin forward to gettin em back in service

dude has so many more machines he wants serviced - he gave me a postcard with a postmark from 1910

@Rajiv I hope you get to retire and enjoy life a bit yo, you've earned it!

my first job was strippin engines, labeling the bits with yellow paint with model/year, and placing them on shelves in my friend's family junkyard - his stepdad paid us $7.00 an hour in cash each evening

my first official job with a paycheck was McD where I learned to crack eggs with one hand

man, it would be so nice to be able to afford a home and retire so I can just restore Typewriters, sewing machines, and old telephones

oh, and build a garden railway

been workin since 1987...

@stroz word

@stroz forgive me for not mentioning this earlier, Congratulations on f'n 18 years man - nice work!!!

I look to your example as inspiration

@paul_ipv6 aye, same with stews and soups - I think waste reduction, especially with food is awesome, but the fact that it's a survival strategy is heartbreaking

@malassettre I could not agree more, why are we paying taxes for everyone?

man, them un-gutted serranos is the stuff in my fried rice -

not sure if I'll ever serve this version to the general public, but I know I'll enjoy it myself this week

how long are you willing to just survive, so the ultra-wealthy can live in comfort?

I live paycheck-to-paycheck, and I'm on the flexible energy plan with SDG&E, so I'm leveraging low rates this morning along with food I found on offer from Ralph's this week and doing some meal prep this morning

leftover grilled chilis from last evening and leftover sauteed mushrooms from breakfast this morning, will be going into a batch of rice I'm now making for fried rice this week

@stroz right?! t's like seeing the matrix through the code...

as a fellow addict, and someone who's bipolar, for soon reason, gambling always seemed like an obvious scam to me - unlike chemicals, risky relationships, skydiving, or driving like a mad woman

@stroz same yo
