They gave away free towels, which was good because it began to rain
Foods alright 🤷‍♂️
Lo mein wasn't up to @AutoMechanic standards, but the roast pork/sesame chicken/pork bun/fried rice was good
Roasted Broccolini 🤩

Whacking festival!

First I played pickle ball 6-8AM until I was tired enough my game suffered.
Came home restringed one and went to town - batteries, string, etc. Makita 18V, best lightest whacker ever. Then I got the 80V whip out, which you don't want to use near fences. Same deal until my arms were too tired. Sucker is heavy and really powerful.

Shower, rest, eat at 11

I went to Citi Field on a band trip about 11 years ago and I liked it but the Mets were a lot better back then too haha. I think that’s the year they went to the World Series. We sat in the nosebleed section. They didn’t have the fancy scoreboard that I remember lol.
 
Just left one of my credit unions. Used my whole lunch break to deal with their crappy service lol. Before the merger they were excellent but after man they suck. They had me mistaken with another person named Blake W and charged my account off well it was supposed to be the other persons account and it took forever to get it straight then they wanted me to pay the $10 that the other person owed I’m like it’s not my account that should of been charged off. They finally got everything resolved except now I have to go in and change my account number and debit card number on all the apps and set up mobile banking again and everything because they shut my other account completely down. It can also take up to 24 hours to restore access to my credit card because they shut that and access to my savings down too. I had that credit union my whole life before the merger and they were fabulous but this new one sucks. I am considering dropping them but my relationship is good with them. After the horrendous merger you’d think they would be more careful with things. I’m glad I went ahead and joined other credit unions in case of the event like this.
 
I had a busy day in Niagara Falls, all three tours today so I was outside from 8:30 to 5:30. But thankfully I didn’t have to drive the 80 miles home because I’m staying at the cottage which is only an 8 mile drive 🤩

Now I’m sitting outside listening to the birds. I recently downloaded an app that listens for birds and tells you what they are, sort of like Bird Shazam 🤣 I’m addicted to this app 😆

I love Gold Finches. One came on our hummingbird feeder of all places. Western Tanager even brighter

Funny story, my old boss had a pair of dogs that she swore knew when the clocks for daylight savings time changed because the dogs had a set time each morning when they'd start asking for food, and when the clocks changed, they seemed to know that the time changed and didn't start asking until the appropriate time. It finally dawned on her that her husband had one of these clocks in his den and the dogs were going off of the appropriate bird song for the time that they ate so when the clocks changed, the dogs' behavior adjusted with the change.
 
I went and watched Young Washington earlier with my buddy who also wanted to see it. Really good movie. It does start out a little slow though but other than that it’s great. At first there was only 5 of us and then during the previews more people started coming in and a bunch of noisy kids too but they finally settled down. I went ahead and preordered the Blu-Ray too since I liked it. My parents want to go see it sometime too. My legs were hurting from sitting so long lol.

They can save $40 and just watch your Blu-ray at home.

I know haha. Man I tell you the price of tickets and everything at movie theaters have skyrocketed. It was $22 each not to mention popcorn and a soda. Popcorn $13 large and large fountain drink $10. I was like dang no wonder people don’t come to movies anymore.
 
We have another nasty tornado warning in our area. Several have touched down in this swath. One east of our old acreage. It was a hot and humid day so things are fixing to blow up. The radar shows us only getting the tip, while the substantive storm moves north and east.

It seems like everything has gone up in a similar fashion (except wages)
 
I just had a conversation with Google AI about synthetic oil. I asked it to list discussions of Valvoline Restore & Protect ATF in BMWs. For some reason, the response was about Mobil suing Castrol in court and the court saying Castrol could call Group III oil synthetic because it "mimics" synthetic oil. I told it that was incorrect, that Mobil never sued Castrol in court. AI pulsed a bit, then said it apologizes and that it was a BBB NAD complaint and that the NAD said Castrol could call Group III oil synthetic because Group III oils "mimic" synthetic oil. I asked it to check if the process of making Group III oils was actually synthesis. It pulsed longer and then apologized and stated it was incorrect before. That the process of cracking crude oil carbon molecules into smaller molecules then recomposing them into new equal length chains is truly synthesis and that Group III oils are synthetic because the the process truly synthesizes the molecules into a new form.
If Group III oil is not synthetic oil, then Rayon and Nylon are not synthetic fabric either (which were examples it gave of turning oil into a synthetic product)

Do you usually talk to search engines? You may want to get a set of screwdrivers 🪛 😁 😀
