    Just got a Goldendoodle.  Smart as a whip, but hard to train it seems

    we’re on week 5 with our mini goldendoodle, chancho. he’s been great so far but sometimes i feel like we should be a little further along in the training.

    My rule on puppies is even negative attention is attention. Dogs hate being ignored. Ignoring them is a powerful tool. Do something bad, get put in some sort of timeout and don't even look at them. 

    correct. i think this is why chanchito seems to only listen to me. i couldn’t pay the kids to stop messing with him for even a minute bc they can’t help but pet him, pick him up or talk to him with baby talk.

    i especially like the part where he says “many saying don’t do it, sir”, then immediately follows that up with the “...many more mistakes of judgement” projection. 

     

    every time he injects the word “sir” into his stories...

    Such bs.  Even if hunter Biden is/was the most corrupt person in the world, it has no bearing on this case.  I’m still wondering why Bill Barr isn’t going after hunter if he’s such a criminal.

    i keep tryna figure out why them dumb shits want him to testify here. i was gonna ask the surly collective, but, well, yeah. 

  5. we picked this little guy up a week ago. his name is chancho!

    anyway, i been feeding him blue buffalo wilderness puppy food the past week until my wife texted me this afternoon demanding we switch his food asap. apparently some facebook story floating around about someone’s dog dying after eating this brand. she seems pretty adamant about changing so i come to the surly collective for suggestions.

    I think he just supports Trump because Donald backed him in his art supply war with Gary Busey. 

    And to be fair to the President, if I'm ever forced to decide who, between Meatload and Gary Busey, stole art supplies in order to buy coke...yeah, I'm going to the Loaf.

    I just started playing COD Mobile.  Enjoying it.  I am thinking of picking this up.   I am thinking PC over Xbox.  I haven't played a fps game in a long time.

    bought mw around black friday and haven’t even loaded it into my ps4 yet. cod mobile has been occupying my time just fine. 

  8. spent the better part of yesterday moving our acct over from at&t prepaid to t-mobile. the acct is for our two 12 yr olds (blended fam) and FIL who is currently rocking a flip phone in some louisiana bayou. my wife and i have at&t service thru work so who cares if my kids’ reception sucks outside of austin. not me is who. 

    anyway, the end result is 3 lines of magenta plus for $112/mo and premium netflix for $3. not bad considering prepaid on the kids’ lines was $77/mo total with 8GB data each plus adding in my FIL. they gave me a 20% f&f code which covers the entire acct forever. so i’ll be keeping this fucker for when i need to add my other chirrens when they’re old enough for phones.

    The President (as of 6:00 CST) still has a visit to Austin on his public calendar today.

    He will have his helicopter talk around 9:30 this morning prior to flying out.

    2 ish-Flextronics Intl./Apple Manufacturing

    He then departs for the return to Washington.

    Not a great amount of time to watch tv and tweet in the morning, but I expect some tariff/trade/China references as well as his take on today's testimony post visit.

     

     

     

    still haven’t heard anything official about any kind of “event” at work today. i’m holding out hope that he goes to flex then gtfo. don’t want this shit where i eat. 

    maybe i’ll just work from home today.

    It's still on, just no announcement on time obviously.  NW Apple campus is the main feature.  I suppose they may stop off at one other Apple location.  

    Ivanka will be in tow, so I say we look into some day-fucks.  Otherwise, TCRP quietly reporting a quick meet n' great with some supporters but nothing lavish.  Whole trip, with ground movement sounds like 4-5 hours, tops.  I'm guessing they'd rather do Air Force one in/out of Austin Executive Airport given the proximity but can't handle that runway.  So more surface transport than they'd like.  Which would explain the in flux plan for TCRP and one other business tour.  Sounds like one meal on the ground is in the cards, but probably on site somewhere, no fun taco visit or anything.  I'm guessing morning commute will be fine but afternoon commute will be a shitshow. 

     where are you seeing this? i don’t want this asshole anywhere on our campus. tim apple can stay though, he cool.

    The show at the Astro Arena rocked hard. Also saw Helmet there in 1995. The show at South Park Meadows was meh and the Roots upstaged them.

    17 year old me drove up from el paso to the south park meadows show with a buddy for this. i remember it differently than you, bc i loved it. i still wear that concert tee from time to time. 

    20+ years later, you’re goddamn right i’ll be driving from austin to el paso and then to las cruces for this. sure i can fly, but fuck that. i have a much better car now haha. 

  12.  

    a buddy of mines is a contractor so i talked to him about getting his painters out to do our living room. luckily they was workin an outside job and the rain meant they had an immediate opening. fuckers knocked the living room and stairwell out in 3 hours. well worth the expense just like y’all said.

    we talked to them about painting our cabinets and the look on their faces was something. they was quite confused why we’d want to paint over 5yr old cabinets that still looked brand new. clearly they’re unaware the power pinterest has over madame dirt.

    I'll take some this weekend if I remember. It's your standard builder grade MDF box with minimal trim work and mounted with a slight lean to one side. Gas fireplace surrounded by cheap ceramic 12x12's. It's embarrassing compared to the awesome one we had in our old house that was built in the 30's.

    I'm going to pull all of that off and probably just do something minimalistic using some nice tile around the fireplace and a floating beam mantle.

    our mantle is chopped limestone that my wife wants me to rip out in favor of a beam. thing is our fireplace extends 20’ up the wall and i’m afraid that if i chisel out the mantle, the rest of it will crash down on me. maybe that’s her plan?

    Some shit is just easier to outsource.

    Yup.  I painted about half the house myself a couple of years ago-- bedrooms, bathrooms, easy stuff.  But for the great room and staircase and entryway with 20' ceilings and stuff, I just paid the professionals.  Not worth my time and headaches.

    Also, we too just had plantation shutters installed in about half the house, the original buyers only did the bottom floor and a little bit of the second story. I guess they ran out of money.  Now, apparently, it's my turn...

    well y’all convinced me. i’ll be outsourcing said said giant walls. i did manage to knock out two rooms over the weekend though. it was liked therapy after that shitshow of a game saturday afternoon.

  14. we’re in the process of replacing blinds with plantation shutters. this has led to my worst nightmare, painting the interior walls before installation. i actually enjoy painting, but i’m starting with the living room this weekend, which has 20’ ceilings. this may well be the end for me.
