Vintage ad for "Chi-Chi's" with the slogan "When you feel a little Mexican"
I didn't live in a place with a Chi-Chi's when this ad ran, or my memory has purged it for my safety

XMAS ARRIVES EARLY FOR WILLIWAW
alt text
My husband had his 4th surgery of the year recently - he'll be fine - and will be "out" until March-ish. . . meaning I've had to do all of the outdoor chores myself, like getting ready for winter this fall (brag: my wood piles are works of art) and winter itself now, like splitting all the wood and alllll the snow clearing: shoveling around the house and blowing the snow on our mile long road/driveway, no small joke in the high Colorado mountains.
Our old snowblower attachment for our Toolcat is almost 20 years old and had a whole host of problems, including a hydraulic system that kept going kaput (see: https://mltshp.com/p/1Q1B3). Alas, we can't just haul it on a trailer to the mechanics so last year we had the Bobcat people here twice to fix problems we couldn't do ourselves, which was a thing considering the nearest Bobcat dealer is 3 hours away. . . a very expensive thing. Grrr!
SOooooo after realizing I was going to have to do all the snowblowing for the winter alone and, not wanting to spend hours in <0 degree temps swearing at whatever broke this time, hoping that a little grease gun action would fix it or desperately applying JB weld to holes and blah blah blah - doable when we were splitting the work but now has turned from "just irritating/part of life" to actually problematic - I asked for a new snowblower attachment for Xmas. Had to take a loan for it (thanks Trump tariffs! JFC!!) but now it's here! It's here!!!
It's A M A Z I N G. The skid-shoes haven't been re- welded on multiple times at multiple levels. There's no holes in the chute so it actually blows out at a distance instead of falling out. The auger doesn't freeze whenever you look at it wrong. The two stages actually work in parallel. The chute itself is on a sprocket wheel, not a chain, so you don't have to stop every 10 minutes and clear ice chunks out.
Our push/walk behind blower - a lovely Honda 2 stage, self-propelled blower with treads/track drive which throws snow 50 feet and starts when it's 20 below that I also love - is called Odin because it's so powerful and our troublesome old Toolcat blower was Loki. So obviously this new one is now Thor.
THOR!!! All praise THOR!! We received Thor in time for a snowstorm which dumped 4 feet of snow in 3 days and I already LOVE LOVE LOVE Thor. I never want to be without Thor again. You can have your awesome tech doodads and cooking geegaws and music fun widgets and things your kids made for you for Xmas: all I want is Thor. And I have him! I'm soooo lucky!!!
I'M SO HAPPY.
edit: the machine is not new, just the attachment!

Your winters are sooooo different to mine. In winter I just have to decide if I really can be bothered with an umbrella that day or not! 😊
Thor is very beastly, for me doing that would be so much fun, but I'm sure after a while it's just a chore

I need to see a photo of your wood pile.
As someone who has done a turn splitting and stacking firewood, I admire a well-stacked wood pile.

Wait, does that idiot really have a sleeve tattoo of Ben Franklin's "Join or Die" agitprop?
@ardgedee i had to look it up, and in the process learned that apparently this doofus has a whole array of questionable tattoos:

@nikkuneko to sum up: "His tattoos are not provably Nazi-related but are plausibly racist, fascist and Christian Dominionist." cool cool.
Oh, well uh, never mind then.
Astronomy Is In Crisis ... And It's Incredibly Exciting

“Our best theory of the universe might be breaking apart! The new data we're receiving from space telescopes is creating more and more cracks in our current understanding of the universe, and some scientists believe we could be standing on the edge of the next great revolution in physics. When did the first galaxies really form? How fast does our universe really move and why are the huge cosmic voids not following the cosmic principles?”
I first read it as Astrology

A view from the surface of the moon: a vast white expanse under a starry black sky. In the top right of the sky sits the earth, a blue and brown half-moon covered with white clouds. Visible in the distance are mountains. Closer to the viewer is a round hole in the ground. A ladder is sticking out of it, leading down to who knows where. Next to the hole is an orange warning cone. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A black 3.5-inch floppy disk labeled “RAM Doubler” by Connectix for Windows, promising “More memory with just one click.” The label features a tan and blue design.
I seem to think I needed this to play street fighter 2 on my 486sx.
This worked so well for everything but games. Iit absolutely murdered some of them more than going without for some reason.

If it ain’t baroque don’t fix it

Photograph of a smiling, glasses-wearing, light-skinned woman with pink hair in a black blazer, sitting beside a Baroque orchestra with her Baroque equipped violin, playing in a modern sanctuary with a lit Christmas tree and large windows.
Snuck a quick video (find the video on my various socials) and selfie during sound check for our awesome #Baroque #gig yesterday, where we performed Vivaldi’s Gloria and Vivaldi’s Autumn. I can’t tell you how much I LOVE playing with a Baroque ensemble… If anyone out there needs a Baroque violinist, just hit me up! 😇

A two panel screenshot from an episode of the Wire. Walon (Steve Earle) leans into the guy standing next to him and says:
1st panel: "Bubs, I've only got two, maybe three Motown puns left in me"
2nd: "Four tops"
