I have to remind myself of darkness times because that scope will seem like daylight way after the sun has set.

I apologize if this has been posted. I searched but didn't see anything. The Butterfly Effect is one of my favorite movies. It's been showing on my free Dish movie channels lately. But the version they're showing isn't the version I like. When it came out on DVD, it had the theater version on one side and the director's cut on the other side. I prefer the director's cut. Anybody who has seen both versions, which do you prefer?

I have nieces that hunt, so I don't shoot bucks. I normally shoot one doe a year. I shot this one 1/23. 100 yards. 110 lbs. The bullet didn't exit the skull. It must have fragmented in the back of the eye socket and bounced around inside the skull. It's head was like jello.

Put some peroxide on it daily...

She might still be there if you didn't take them already.

You're a worse person for not posting pics.

I was kind of okay with it being on the countertop. I wouldn't eat it off someone else's countertop and I wouldn't do that to mine, but whatever. Let's pretend it was on a sheet of wax paper or something. The initial presentation was okay. Then she brought out the paint scrapers. I cringed, but still would probably eat. Then she brought out the chips. I'm thinking okay, she's gonna have a countertop chip slab. Nope. Cringe again and that's where I drew the line. Would not.

I prefer half and half too, but I'm afraid to order it for pickup on the fear that I'll get a cup of creamer.

She repeated my name back to me, so it's not like she misunderstood me.

I appreciate all of the advice you and others gave. I still haven't learned to play, but I'll take it out every so often and strum and admire it. Whenever my friend that sent me that link comes over, he'll play it for an hour or so. I just have it stored in the case in my closet. I asked either the luthier that restored it or Gruhn about storing it and string tension and he said to just keep normal tension on it. When I watched the video in that RetroFret link, I was underimpressed with the sound because it really can sound powerful. I have an employee that plays and has played mine. This is what he said after I sent him the link: I don't remember them telling me much info on how many were made, but I found this: https://www.vintageguitar.com/25116/gibson-j-35/ The J-35 was manufactured in far greater quantity than any other pre-war Gibson dreadnought, with an average of 380 produced each year from 1937 to ’40. The following year, J-35 production surged to 855, which topped production for all other Gibson models with the exception of the V-25 violin. Though the J-35 was an inexpensive guitar when new – costing about half as much as a Martin D-18 – today, it is held in high regard by collectors and musicians, its desirability and superb sound due not only to woods, but the fact it was lightly built with thin top and light bracing, which gives great power as well as fine tone. An unfortunate side-effect of that construction is that any examples not treated with great care frequently fall into poor condition. Luckily, those that are properly maintained are inspiring guitars, and prove that an instrument’s list price is not always proportional to the quality of its sound or its desirability as a vintage model.

Haha, it's worth more than the appraisal value to me.

Yes. Gruhn in Nashville.

A lot of you may remember from the old site about me getting my granddad's and great uncle's 1938 Gibson J 35 restored. A friend sent me this. https://www.retrofret.com/product.asp?ProductID=8841 Mine is serial number DG-4038. I thought that was pretty cool.

Alabama's a bunch of pussies! lol

Danielson looking for offensive interference on that call. Don't try to hide it

Not exactly an injury, but I inadvertently squirted 99.9% isopropyl alcohol in my eye tonight. I have a container that you put a cotton ball on top and push down and it squirts alcohol upwards. I was fixing chips in granite countertop and cleaning the chips with alcohol and a toothbrush. My second push down on the pump missed the toothbrush and hit me in the right eye. I've never felt pain as instantly as I did with that. Broken bones and knife cuts and such have a bit of a delay, at least with me. This did not. In continuance with the thread, but still not injury, I had surgery when I was fifteen to correct scoliosis. I had two ~18 inch rods attached to either side of my spine. Everything went well initially. I had a morphine drip, and was underusing it. If I started to feel pain, I'd push the button and I'd get relief instantly. Towards the end of my hospital stay, they slowed the transfer rate or whatever it's called from my IV, so my morphine button essentially didn't work anymore. I wouldn't push my morphine button until I started feeling pain, but because the drip or whatever was so slow, it would take 15 or 20 minutes. The pain from that two foot gash in my back was unbelievable.

When Amazon wasn't doing two day shipping several months ago, I would order something, forget I ordered it a few days later, then order it again.

I haven't seen the LEGO series, but same actor for Granny on Squidbillies.

Not D-1, but Tonya Butler

The chair is now fully functional. I thought some of you might find this interesting.

This isn't really home repair, but this fits here as well as anywhere. Spoiler because longcat.

If you have any mechanical inclination, do it yourself. Lots of batteries will come with the tools to do it. An iPhone battery can be replaced for less than $30. The only issue I've had with them is the tape strips that hold them in breaking when I'm trying to remove them. And they are a super strong adhesive. If you do it yourself, only put one strip back when you replace the battery. If you are going to replace the battery on the iPad, look at the cost of the glass and the battery vs what you would pay someone to do it, because you are going to break the glass removing it.
