cat advises petting the cat

Something is wrong with the new pump 🙁

My plumber thinks he has an appropriate adapter so I can just have new ones instead of trying to get these off. I don't have the muscles for it (or a vise to hold the part in place so I don't have to work against myself).

Trying to replace this old pump head and the only explanation for this is that some service tech somewhere along the line mistook this for a Sega console.

It probably was a Magmax cabinet just with the volume turned really low/off. I've been trying to remember what that game was for years.

Was there ever a sequel to Magmax? I feel like I've played something really similar as a kid at a shop near where I went to 6th grade (especially with the collecting robot parts to turn your craft into a walking mecha) but I thought it was more spacey.

Why is my tumblr getting new followers? Oh, it's a bot. Of course it's a bot. Nevermind then. Woohoo indeed.

It's always a pain to find replacement suppliers and rework product lines, but that's a short term pain.

I have to fire one of my candy suppliers. You have to place Christmas orders months in advance only for a large chunk of the order to not show up, what does show up getting packed horrendously, and then also getting expired product that they're not refunding. I can deal with the first two up to a point, but that last one is inexcusable. Earlier this year I fired a tea supplier over the same sort of failure to fix their mistakes.

YouTube survey: why are you asking me about things that I've just told you I never use?

Used the last of my gift certificate on root beer and grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch today.

Cat

Lazy cat

I think the cat would like it if someone got me a sling for Christmas so I could do housework while keeping the cat in convenient petting range. Do not send me such a thing.

Holiday Blend has now become my #1 most produced coffee within the past 4 weeks. Need to make another big batch today. This year it's a custom roast combining coffees from Kenya and Sumatra.

My sister bought me a Ramune. I've never had that. I think it was an impulse buy, seeing something she recognized from an anime in the grocery store.
