Mmm, a menu with a few kinds of chili at various heat levels, and grilled cheese with a choice of cheeses and "inclusions".

I'll take my rocket sled! it's only 12 minutes or so away at mach 3!
Doesn't your rocket sled need to run on rails? Better take your jet pack.
From Helicopters and Sirens ?
I modified it to use runners, the road looks like its out of cars but the cops can't catch me
That's a big part of it. Our helmets have hearing protection built in, lately I've been wearing extra earplugs under the muffs to see if I can tell a difference. It's been worse lately and I have wondered if a frequency has changed in our engines.
Also loud concerts, guns, and before my son was born I worked setting up a lot of firework shows. Quite a few of those were hand-lit standing right next to the mortar racks. I've been good at using hearing protection since I've been over 21 or so, but not so good as a teenager.
Played horseshoes. Later, worked at computer lab as a monitor. Assisted a member with transferring files from one computer to another. Showed them how to access Gmail from a web browser.
I think that was my grandpa
When I was shooting 'Service Rifle' competition I had muffs and plugs. I got Tinnitus, I think from it. The guy to the left of you while you where prone on your mat, his ejection port would be to the left of your left ear. I could feel the concussion from it even with the double protection. I quit that soon after I was noticing it.
I still always plug and muff, but don't get next to others anymore by not doing competitions.

I've been working on 2012 VW Jetta SportWagen's ignition key system. There is an assembly on the steering column that has the key cylinder on the right side, the starter switch on the left side, and in between the steering wheel lock mechanism. I can start and turn off the car but half the time I can't remove the key as it will not turn counterclockwise far enough to pull the key out. Yesterday I ordered up a new assembly which should be here tomorrow. I can reuse the key cylinder and the starter switch. Here's the procedure. (Lots of contortions. )

Falcon 56? Looks great!
In addition to a 10 hour day of work, I began dipping chocolates. The dark arts begin! 
Chocolate ginger? Mmmm

This is no joke.
The Onion just bought Alex Jones' Infowars. Sale price and The Onions plans were not disclosed.

Did a bunch of repairs on landscaping equipment ...
The new front tires came in for my Deere X580 (front tires had bunch of leaks from running over wild pear branches in the field) to I took the wheels off and brought them, with the new tires, down to the local tire shop. 15 minutes and $20 later I was on my way. Money well spent.
My neighbor brought me his walk behind leaf blower that wouldn't start. Carburetor was gummed up so I R&R'd the carb for a good cleaning. Starts with one pull now.
Same neighbor then brought me his Ferris Z-turn that wouldn't start, starter wasn't engaging. Turned out the the 5 year old battery was kaput, so I replaced the battery, which required removing a bunch of brackets that were in the way. Simple job took more than an hour. But starts great now.

Oh, this has serious potential.
They stated to turn it into satire of what it was

The purchase announcement is pure gold. the first paragraph:
https://theonion.com/heres-why-i-decided-to-buy-infowars/
I heard an NPR interview, in which host Ari Shapiro asked the interviewee from The Onion "Does this feel a little like Luke Skywalker buying the deathstar at a bankruptcy auction?"

Talk about Karma, eh?

Yesterday when looking for videos on how to pull the steering wheel off of my 2012 Jetta Sportwagen I ran across this video about making an adjustable welding table. Pretty neat IMHO.
