I had to search for this thread. Seemed like some ought to have been posting here last night. Maybe we need a star space PUI thread?
I almost came here last night but then some more chores popped up and by the time I popped one open it was late and it didn't taste good and I set it down and went to bed.
Such is life when you are old. Now chores are done but there is not enough beer in the fridge to qualify my being here but maybe someone will join.
Life is not too bad, Dodgers lost, Dbacks won, RedSox won last night and are doing OK so far tonight.
Toaster ceased to function this morning, some trendy french thing. Looked on line for parts, not available. problem is likely minor, it won't stay latched down. I am not sure I even care enough to take it apart. Sig other will buy another. Probably trendy, probably way overpriced.
So that led me to another small project I had put off. I rescued a perfectly good toaster oven from the trash as it was banished forever from it's former home. Why you ask? OK, so you didn't ask. In a related facility many hundred miles distant, someone set the contents of a toaster oven on fire. The report was quite worthy of any main stream news report. The first paragraph states "the fire quickly spread up the wall, endangering the entire facility, personnel went in search of a fire extinguisher". The next paragraph states that since "the fire was confined to the interior of the oven, an employee unplugged it and set it in the sink". I hope that employee wasn't fired for not using proper PPE.
Bottom line is toaster ovens are forever banished from the agency, with a few exceptions. Some toaster ovens are more equal than others.
My bottom line is I scrubbed it out and once it dries thoroughly I will have a greener solution to using the broiler in the big oven. Unicorns are smiling everywhere. Plus it didn't end up in a land fill or African country.
Still over 100 here today. Is it global climate change/warming/cooling/new ice age/someone can make a lot of money off this or is it because I live in a stinking desert?
