Went outside to feed my peacocks. My Beautiful Witch motioned through the window to see a weird comparison:
There was a male Painted Bunting by Fancy Pants (the alpha peacock). The size/mass difference was hundreds to one.
Painted Buntings are as small as small hummybirds -- tweeny. Fancy Pants is turkey sized. One TOE of Fancy Pants is larger and heavier than the little rainbow birdie.
PB's look like they smacked into a rainbow:

Got into the trades at the age of 19, got 31 years in, and retired at the ripe old age of 50. I do what I want when I want and how I want. Love it.
My brother had a fraternity brother that did 30 years in the shop and then went for a sales job at some car dealership. He wanted to work 'til he was 67 so he could max out his SSI bennies. TWO WEEKS before he was set to retire, a couple of his coworkers walked into his office to grab him for lunch. He stood up from his desk, took a couple of steps, and had a massive heart attack. Dead before he hit the ground.
Any man that works a day longer than he has to is a damned fool IMHO.
I draw my SS. Did so at 66 and 4 months where they couldn't penalize me for working. I work because I like the money and it's not like I'm busting my ass like I use too. I run crews and government projects. Setting at home would drive me fking crazy and if all I was drawing was SS I wouldn't have shit left after living expenses to do a damn thing but set at home.
I'm in pretty good shape for my age considering I had open heart surgery 10yrs ago.
Moving is what keeps my heart strong. If I stop I'm screwed.

Cages cleaned, room cleaned, birds terrorizing the general area, and I'm pooped. Time to relax.

While I was in awe of the effect on EM1I hear a drip drip. Look on the other side of basement and i see sheetrock bulging.
I have a blow by thru my main valve so i get a 3/4 shark bite valve $26 to isolate said leak. I trace it back to my cast iron baseboard rusted thru and developed a leak.I shut down the heat ,shut the boier feed valve and let it lose pressure.I need to put in 10 feet of high out put baseboard and connect to the system .the system is a mono flow system .We have aux propane heat so we are good until i need a shower .
I thank my Father for teaching me not to be a complete chooch ....
