1) The new bits are great, way better than the diamond bits. Glad I waited for them. Bullet shape, superiorest. Mug coming along nicely. Found a black patina kit for stainless. Want to buy it. Shouldn't. Forty whole doolars with shipping, ugh. Still want it. Will prob buy it. Looks super cool and exactly what I need. Really want it. Forty whole doolars, though.

2) Brother in law and family are in the area, so we are going to the city today to wander around in the cold and snow with children who (we have been warned) have some kind of mild travel illness. We will enjoy looking at buildings we can't go in and having frozen toes. But there should be grilled cheese. Also, I can collect some nano from the free faucets! Very exciting. These kids are going to give me covid, I just know it. Spouse has the vaccine and that's the important thing.

3) Do you hear that sound? That is the sound of Alaska trying not to laugh too hard at Texas for struggling with some winter temps. They will never live this down. Texans like to come to Alaska as summer tourists and do what Texans do best, brag about how great Texas is and how much more mighty survivalist independent gun shooty they are. They just lost the war.
