Something You Did Today, That Most People Would Think Is Weird

Went to dinner with some friends and ate a bigger cheeseburger than any of the men did lol

I’m not ashamed of it. I can eat however I want
 
I had to use a public restroom and the toilet paper was the most wonderful I've ever used.
Charmin doesn't have anything on this, whatever brand it was.
So soft and thick.

I couldn't find any brand or name on it, so I looked in the cabinet in hopes to find a roll still in it's wrapper. Lots of rolls, no wrappers!
Eeek, I've got to find what brand this is. :eek:
I folded up some sheets and put them in my purse. I can look for the design on the paper that way.
 
I was on the bus and it was slow because of traffic. Under my breath I shrieked things like: “Oh no!” “Come on!” (Some people might have heard, and I’m embarrassed about that.)
 
I made 5 pints of habanera and jalapeno jelly and canned them with a hot water bath. I grew all the peppers. It is screaming HOT but so good when dumped on top of a block of cream cheese on a platter and served with crackers. It's also good to brush on chicken or pork when grilling.
 
I have been able to mimic famous voices for many years, now, and I narrated my drive to work this morning using my Morgan Freeman voice. If that on-star thing secretly listens in on people (me), I bet they are laughing quite often.
 
Round 2 of the engine placement project:
This one is a complete first generation 1955 Chevrolet small block 265 cubic inch V-8.
Indeed a very rare item that was the very beginning of a production run that is still being produced today.

A gearhead's holy grail as it were.

The tricky part of this is re-lifting the unit with my cherry picker and disassembling the tongue on the hauler to remove it from under the engine.
The ceiling height in the shed is a limiting factor for the picker too, so it can only be raised a slight amount, barely enough to pull it off.
As dressed, it weighs in around 650 pounds (295 kilos)
After it is set back down, it will be dragged into place with a chain winch using the 1958 283 as an anchor point.
After this is set in place, I only have two Willys Jeep flathead engines and two Jeep Go-Devil engines to go.
Lucky me, huh?

Physics lesson, gearhead style :p
 
Almost every morning, early, before my wife wakes up, I do my exercises, because I cannot do them if there is anyone available to see me. Its a social anxiety thing. Just the thought that someone might be able to see me is crippling. That is why I don't get to do them every morning, because either she gets up or I fear she might.
I guess that's pretty weird.

I totally understand this. I am definitely the same way.
 
for fun and stress relief, i twirled in quick little circles in my wheelchair, in my apartment building's elevator. that is, until i remembered that there's a hidden camera in the elevator, that someone in the management office watches all day.

it was fun while it lasted though.

YES! EXACTLY!
There is a gym in my apartment building. But I only use it around 9pm- and that's only if no one else is in there! And I close all the blinds so that no one from the street can see me.

If I'm up in the forest, foraging, I don't do it unless there are no strangers around.

I usually have to be completely alone to do work or exercise. Unless I'm with someone that I trust with all my heart.
 
I used a power drill to mix some Tahini that had settled in the jar. I also use compressed air for dusting.
 
Bought a copy of a DAW (music-making workstation) that I typically warn people against. The company gave me an offer I couldn't refuse and my nerd senses went into overdrive
 
I take Sucraid with my meals, and when I finish it I slurp from the glass to make sure I get every drop. I realize that’s not polite, though.
