Word of the Day

Exfolgerate - To spew coffee out one's mouth or nose.

Back to gardening. The rain that started up last night, let up and dried up before 2PM, so I was able to pick the tomatoes. I really should can tomatoes but...tomorrow. I'll do it tomorrow when I do the laundry. I didn't get the jerky done until around 2 AM this morning. It would have been done at around 1 AM but I fell asleep and the timer wasn't loud enough to wake me. I did wake up at 2 AM so all was not lost. The jerky is done. I portioned it out and labeled it. And I sampled it. Deer Jerky is addicting.

Murphyism of the Day

Klipstein's Laws on Applied Prototyping and Production- Part II

1. A failure will not appear till a unit has passed final inspection.

2. A purchased component or instrument will meet its specs long enough, and only long enough, to pass incoming inspection.

3. After the last of sixteen mounting screws has been removed from an access cover, it will be discovered that the wrong access cover has been removed.

4. After an access cover has been secured by sixteen hold-down screws, it will be discovered that the gasket has been omitted.

5. After an instrument has been assembled, extra components will be found on the bench.
