CSB3: Riceburner Excited To Announce His New Prince Albert After Paying $3 To Jay For The Procedure

Another miserable evening...
Went to harbor freight at 4:30ish (95deg out)
Got carb cleaner + fresh gas + other things I needed
Started taking apart mower at 5:30, cleaned carb, put back together... no start
Went inside to chill... went back out, cleaned carb again (this time using wire on the jet and being very thorough)... As I'm putting it back together, I drop a bolt into the void of the mower (I had it tilted on its side)... I shake the piss out of it to get it out, causing a fuel spill in the process... and magically the bolt drops out... reassemble... no start... FUUUUCK, by now it's 8:30.
I go inside shower, then remember that a new sparkplug might be what I need... run over to Home depot at 9:15... grab a plug... no start still...
Pulling my hair out at this man... FFS!!!
Tomorrow I drive it 45 min north to the guy who sold it to me (he flips mowers and is a standup guy) to see if we can figure it out (lowkey hoping he might take the lemon mower in exchange for a working one...
feel your pain bro, for such a remarkably simple little machine i had a hell of a time rebuilding the carb and getting it to run/stay running/run smooth. not sure what i did that ultimately just made it work lol

Captain Murphy had bangers too
what a cool album when it dropped! i still peep it sometimes. i think it was some of the samples that won me over, but really the ongoing narrative from some cult was super cool. i love how hip hop can draw inspiration and sample anything. its the best genre to use our nostalgia, etc

I'm so late to the party, but I'm deep into MF DOOM now. I've listened to a little bit here and there and always liked his music. On sunday I was home all day playing video games, so I threw on some MF DOOM and ever since then it's all I want to listen to.
awesome! i've listened to so many things over the years but stuff i consistantly can return to and just listen to entire albums of some artists without skipping:

MF DOOM (produced by Madlib)
Little Brother (produced by 9th wonder)
J Dilla (produced by Jdilla lol)
Quasimoto (produced by madlib)
And fuck it a few posts up, Captain Murphy by fliying lotus lol
edit: your best friend jippy

He's got the best skits. All the songs with the old timey super hero/villain stuff is the best kind of vibe.
there was some YT vid i saw recently where the guy who explains all of those old-timey skits did most of the video in that persona and it was so fire lol. but woe is me, i can't find it

another classic example, like the captain murphy album, how hip hop can draw from anything

oh snap another constant go-to for me is 'your best friend jippy' - he seems to be a sample mastermind who draws inspo from all sorts of stuff from bob ross, to 80's/90's commercials, old tv shows, kind of whatever. but the music is also too dope

just a random pick, you really cant go wrong with jippy.

We keep our front lawn as grass, but recently cleaned up the furthest back portion of our back yard (which is technically an easement for a powerline) and went with clover. I do enjoy that I only have to mow it like once a month, and the deer seem to enjoy it as well.

Wtf people do this on purpose? I've been trying to get rid of the clovers that basically took over my lawn for 3 years.

Get some Triclopyr Ester and spray it when air temps are ~80. gg ez but you might have some grass injury

I liked how it looked as a small % in the lawn but I'm not sure I'd go full clover.

Not so csb......


Got a phone call last night. One of my friends and fellow electrician was in a work related accident yesterday and passed away.....

Don't have much details, but he was pulling some 15kv cable from a vault to an underground switch on Murray State University property when he made contact with the (supposed to be de-energized) switch that had 13.8kv on it.


With the amount of fatalities in this trade (especially the ones close to me) I am starting to think that a career change at 40 might not be that bad after all.......
