Capitalism: God's way of determining who is smart,
and who is poor.

So with the money we saved on NOT getting the ultra sweet refrigerator we purchased a new dishwasher. A Bosch which advertises 44Db for noise. Most dishwasher companies advertise how quiet they are but here is the BIG difference.
All other companies install their appliance into a faux counter and then measure how loud that are. HOWEVER - Bosch does it differently. The put their washer in the middle of an empty room and measure it. THEN when you installed the washer it's actually MUCH quieter.
I can stand next to ours and literally cannot hear it run. PLUS - it's an Energy Star so we can get $25 big ones back from Columbus Water and Light. The frig is not Energy Star.

There seems to be trouble brewing in CA if you are a wine drinker. There are not enough workers to pick grapes. Now with cannabis about to become legal there is more of a problem finding enough workers. Good thing the GOP want to deport 800,000 tax paying Dreamers so America can be whiter. California has 200,000 DACAs. THAT won't help the problem.
Oddly Democrats are going after 14 GOP congressional candidates. DACA might come up in the conversation.

The New York Jets are 1000-1 odds to win the Super Bowl. O/U for the Jets is 3.5 wins.
But if you want a sure thing, the Golden State Warriors are 1000-1 to make the playoffs.

Shot a 94 at the Oaks and was feeling good until I saw that The Oaks is actually an easier course then Door Creek if teeing off from the White tees. To be closer we would need to tee off from the woman's Green tees.
The Oaks from the WHITES is rated at 67.4 while Door Creek is 68.9 so MEN should tee off from the Blue tees at 69.2 to be closer. Our league is considering moving to The Oaks because the food at Door Creek is overpriced and not that good at all. $9 for a frozen hamburger patty? (they do cook it).

OH - our government has canceled all the financial benefits for wind farms and solar farms that are being built. Coal is the future you know.

This weekend we traveled to Kewaunee because my brother is building a sound proof recording studio and since I have never build a sound proof room I was fascinated. He needs it because his wife and he (him?) narrate books (like books on tape) and you need NO SOUND when recording.
The first thing I noticed was he was drunk when he started to put it up because all the walls are at angles. Seems you don't want square as sound will bounce around (or that was the excuse he told me).
Then looking closer I saw the particulars. Double dry wall on the inside because mass is one of the most important things but wait - there is more.
The dry wall is attached to 2x6s(?) HOWEVER, those do not touch the outside dry wall as it would carry sound. So there is another set of 2x6s that hold the outside dry wall and those never touch anything on the inside.
Then carpeting will be attached to all walls inside. Pretty darn cool.

Gus does not like this "winter" thing he keeps hearing about. How much colder can it get he says
AS A DOG he likes to rummage through the laundry. Well, he found some underwear when we were going to bed and was chewing on it with glee. We thought, let the monster chew as he is happy.
Well, after about 5 minutes he was asleep and when I reached down to take it away . . . .HE WAS WEARING IT!! Seriously, somehow he wrapped it around himself and was inside my underwear and was asleep.
DOGS!!!!!!! You never know what they are thinking.
